The Democratic Judicial Convention
of the 14th District was held at the
court house in this city last Monday and
was attended by delegates selected for
the purpose Of nominating a candidate
for Circui, Judge of the district.
The only name presented to the CON
vention was that of the present incum-
bent, Judge James f.. HAZEL Of Monitca,i
county, and as Judge Hazell's record on
the bench was without a blemish and
acceptable to all the counties represented
he was nominated by reclamation.
The following resolutions were sub
mitted and fully concurred in by the
convention assembled:

was buried on the 9th day of August,
1900, and Hon. James T.. HAZEL was APP
pointed to act As Judge until the ensuing
election in November, 1900, and there.
fore upon the death of the lamcnted
Robinson came TO the bench under very
trying circumstances, And whereas, said
Hon. lanes j.. HAZEL met the crucial
test Of criticism in said position during "A
hot campaign and was triuinphantly
elected to said Office.
And Whereas, he has shown admirable
qualities of head and heart in such ex-
allied position, and measured up 20 the
Just requirements Of the office in the
discharge of the duties thereof; showing
first class ability as a Judge, good judy
ment, admirable poisc Of mind, and
great patience in giving every one a fair
hearing in the cause or matter before
him for trial and decision, and showing
a determination to render a just judy
mcnt in all matters which have come
before him for judicial action,
Now, Therefore, BE it Resolved, That
we take pleasure in convention assem-
blcd, IN commenting his record as that
Of an honest and upright official. and as
Democrats feel proud of the record he
has made as a Judge, and chcerfully rec
ominend him to the honest citizen voters
for reelection to the most important
Office of Judge OF the Fourteenth Judicial
Circuit Of the grand old Democratic
State Of Missouri.
Allof which was respectfully submitted

The commencement exercises which
marked the closing Of the school year Of
1904, and which gave the graduating
class of our High School an opportunity
to offer to their friends proof positive
that they were justly entitled to the hon
or bestowed upon them, was carried out
at the opera house Tuesday evening, in
the pre- of an audience which tested
the capacity of the building, and al
though an admission fee of fifteen cents
was exactcd at the door, many were
unable to gain admission.
The stage was decorated with rare
plants and beautiful flowers which gave
the rostruin the appearance of an elabor-

COUNTRY AWAITS THE VERDICT

The eyes of the nation are today
turned to st. Louis, where the repre-
sentatives of the democratic party
will name the next president of the
United States. Will it be Parker,
German or Cleveland? Much of VIC
tory depends upon our standard
bearer. There is no doubt that the
nomination of Cleveland would please
many Democrats throughout the coun.
try. They would feel that they had a
winner for a candidate. But Cleves
land will scarcely be nominated. IF
Parker cannot be nominated Cleveland
cannot. A considerable element of
the conven ION will be unalterably OPP
posed to Cleveland. He could not be
nominated under the two thirds rule.
| He cannot be nominated under a ma
jority rule. It is idle to talk of CIeve
land, if Parker cannot win Parker
has the largest number of ms ructe
delegates, and will receive a larger
vote from the uninstrcted delegates
than any other candidate. His nomi.
nation is by no means as certain as an
ACCOMPLISHED fact, but 1t is a strong
probability where the nomination oil
any other man is only possibility
There aught to be no question as to
Parker's nomination. No faction, nc
Democrat having in mind the interest
of the party can reasonable object tc
him. If Cleveland can be elected Par
ker can be elected. The third tern
argument could not be urged against
him He has never bolted a Demo
cratic ticket. His views on vital anC
fundamental questions are known tC
those who take the trouble to keeI
informed, He is clean, safe, gsound
conservative. He will receive the
Democratic vote, and he would com
mand large independent vote, as
against RooseYelt-a vote which is
necessary to success. It would seem
that in most respects, at leas', Par
ker would be an ideal candidate, upon
whom all Democrats could center and
support with harmony, unity and
honest earnestnt SIS that would go far
toward achieving, success. If Parker
is not nominated in all probability
weaker man will be.

st. Louis, July 4.-HOke Smith, o.

who was the leader of the Parker
movement. in the Cracker state, rep
resents a certain sentiment that is
prevalent in some quarters. He i.
for Parker and will support him a:
long as there is a possibility Of hi!
nomination. This is the attitude Of
the Georgia delegation, but in case il
becomes evident that Parker cannot
be nominated, Georgia has a majority
which would vote for Cleveland
"Of course" said Mr.. Smith, my
preference for Cleveland is wei
known, and l should be glad to see
him nominated, but we are honorably
committed to Judge Parker. WheI
Hearst attempted to CAPTURE Geor
gia the conservative men under cal
issued by me met and determined t.
send a Parker delegation to the con
vention. That was done, and Geor
gia will remain true to him as Ions
as he is in the field. l expect to see
him nominated early in the balloting
and his selection would be satisfactory
to Georgia"
Mr.. Smith wanted it understood that
there was nothing lukewarm in Geor
gia's support Of Parker and 1t was only
in case Of a breakup that Georgia
would consider another choice.
