In 1896 and 1900 William Jen-

cratic candidate for president,
made his famous speech in
which he said: "Thou shalt not
press down this crown of thorns
upon the brow of labor nor cruel
fy mankind upon a cross of
gold," and this was the slogan
of that party during these two
campaigns. The democratic
candidate for president now,
Judge Parker, says he is for the
gold standard and pledges his
party to that effect. Mr.. Bryan
has jumped aboard the demo-
cratic band wagon and is shout

in the organization owning ele-

It has been the desire of a

The democrats tell us that
the money question does not cut
any figure in this campaign. yet
the democratic national conven-
tion wrestled all night to keep a
gold plank out of it's platform
and succeeded, and then after
he was nominated it's candidate.
Judge Parker, sent a telegram
stating that he was for the gold
standard and if elected should
stand by that declaration. This
is about as consistent as the
democratic party usually is. If
the money question is eliminated
from the campaign why such a
fight in the convention and why
do gold democrats all flock to
Parker?
