 The statement is so lucid and plain that every citizen in this country can perfectly understand and accurately as- certain exactly where MT. Parker stands upon every issue involved in the present campaign.
 If the American people desire to con- tinue thls federal government upon the principles and plans intended by the fa- thers who created 1t. then they will vote for Mir Parker for President of the Uni- ted States.
 Tn his views and his own personality. he represents the fundamental principles that we have been taught from the time of the creation of the republic, to cheer ish and to endeavor to perpetuate.
 That they will avail themselves of the present opportunity to elect President who will give them constitutional and lawful administration of our federal af- fairs Is my faith in the American people"

in case Alva Adams is seated q

confidently expects to be appointed

whispered in the inner circles Of the
