port Parker for President.
EFER PROSPERITY TO PARALYSIS
D. @. Tillotson, Late Chairman Of the
nal Silver Republican Party = Rea-
sons Given by Others.

You will consider my relations with
the Democratic party severed because
that political organization has ceased
- be the declared exponent Of govern
mental policies and economic principles
whose ultimate triumph Is deemed
more essential than the inauguration
of any particular political regime. The
final decision TO east my vote for Theo-
dore Roosevelt is not u hasty conclu-
sion. | conceive the political duty OF II
young man is first 10 his country: and
secondly to that party whose policies
applied to governmental affairs will con
ducc ~ industrial satisfaction. promote
national commercial expansion, and
assure the constitutional operation of
law regardless OF wealth, color or sta
ton"

long Democrat of New York. has an

his position Judge Chandler says that
il took him eight years TO reach "thc
lofty plane Of moral courage and patri'
otto resolve to he an American and not
a Democrat" lie purposes also to per

said Judge Chandler, ION the single is
sue of the retention or non-retcntion ot
the Philippine islands. | now regard
the Philippine question as a closed i'll
cidcnt; on every other cardinal issue oi
the present campaign I am in hearty ac
cord with the Republican party. Dcs
titute of living issues, wanting in
righteous civic motives, totally disorgan'
lied and dcmoralized. Democrats hav,
forgotten or have at least abandoned
the manly and enlightened methods OF
polcmic warfare that made illustrious
and forever memorable the days of Doug
las and Lincoln"

Parker Too Uncertain.
w. IL. Williams. of Boonville. Ind
who has been active in Democratic cou
ellis heretofore. will use his influence il
support Of the Republican national tick
ct. In declaring his intentions Mr.. vii
liams places the welfare Of himself an,
his neighborS above a party name afte
this fashion: There has been an in
crease OF 100 per cent in the value q
lands in Warrick county in the las
eight years. 1t used Ia he while Glove
land was President that lands sold Ia
from ST to $40 an acre. Now the sam
farms bring $50 an acre. Parker is a
uncertain quantity. The Democrats hav
no issue. but it is inevitable they woul
tinker with the tariff and bring abou
business staguation."
