Iowa Democrats Nav s,,;.

IOWA CITY, Ia, July ls.-I-n,ess
some of the old politicians srooooa ::
'helr er1ort TO bring about harmony
there will be a bitter fight between +ho
rival factions for the contro, /,
ueiiiocratic state convention which
meets here tomorrow. The n,,u
of the convention is to name oos:
oates Tor secretary of state and the
other minor state offices to he fued %
the November election, The nonoira
tons are lost sight of, however. in the
struggle Of the two factions for ST.
premacy. The early arrival of most
OF the delegates and party leaders is
evidence of the intense interest which
is manifest in the contest for control
There are two names mentioned as
chairman of the convention, those of
T. j. Stiger of Toledo and Martin T
wade OF Davenport. The latter who
is congressman from the Second dis
trict, represents the gold wing of the
democratic party in Iowa, and it seems
probable that he will be chosen.
1t is not probable that there NAV he
bolt when an attempt it made to or
ganize the convention. 1t looks as
though Chairman Maxwell of the state
central committee will not be allowed
to organize his committee, which is
called to meet here tonight The di-
vision in the ranks of the party arose
from the action of the state conven-
ton last spring to elect delegates to
the national convention. The conven-
ton instructed it's delegates for Will
lam r. Hearst as a presidential candi-
date. 1t has since been made appar-
ent that the Instructions were due
chiefly to shreWd political scheming on
the part of the Hearst managers, and
that the action of the convention was
not in accord with the views of the
rank and file of the party in Iowa. The
revulsiOn of feeling against those re-
sponsible for the instructions has been
intensified by the defeat Of Hearst at
the ST. Louis convention. The success
of the conservative element in ST.
Louis has given courage and strength
| to the gold democrats of Iowa, and they
are determined to crush the opposition
unless the latter gives in. Despite the
strenuous efforts of the thermometers
the chances of conciliating the two
factions appear exceedingly sim, ana
unless all signs fail tomorrow's con-
vention will witness a hopeless split
in the party.

Is Self Made Man.

Judge Parker is one of the best eX-
amples of a self-made man in the
United States today.
Born poor, he has built up small
fortune that amply provides for his
needs. and above that he appears to
have no further ambition in none
tary way His three farms. one at
Cortland, another at Accord and the
third at EsOpus, complete his land
possessions, and, in all his wealth, is
estimated at not more than 100000.
The judges house is a modest, but
comfortable wooden structure, stand
ing on the stone foundation of
Dutch house of colonial times. 1t is
set on the side of a hill among shade
trees, and fronts the river. 1t is the
abode of hospitality and refinement,
the typical home Of an American gen.
tleman. The pictures, the books, the
furniture, the wide hall and glowing
fireplace, the sunny library and the
dining room. with its long. mahogany
table. all show evidence of intelligent
tastes that were not developed in one
generation.

ticket. He was sent as a delegate to
all of the state conventions since he
became a voter, and to the national
convention of 1914
In 1885 Governor Hill appointed
him to the supreme court to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Judge
Westbrook. A year later he was
elected to the supreme court bench for
a full term, running ahead of his
ticket, and was designated one of the
justices of the second division of the
court of appeals by Governor Hill
Early in life Mr.. Parker took a
great interest in politics, and ever
since has been a staunch adherent of
the democratic party. He has always
been in accord with its policy. 1t was
through his sagacity that David b. Hill
became governor. This service Gov
ernOr Hill recognized when he ap-
pointed Mr.. Parker a judge Of the SUI
preme court. Politics, however. did
not prevent Judge Parker from work.
ing industriously at his profession. In
later years to all political tempterS
Judge Parker replied that he was a
lawyer and to that profession he
would stick. and all allurements were
in vain. With him the study of law
amounted almost to a passion, and he
was never happier than when shut up
with his books, in deep research on
some knOttV question

tention, and from drawing room to
kitchen. from cellar to garnet. every
thing in the house receives daily her
close scrutiny.
The Schoonmakers, from whom she
is descended. were among the early
Dutch settlers of New York state, and
with pride upon so worthy a descend
ant and daughter.
The parishioners of the Mission
Church of the Holy Cross. of which
her son -inlaw is rector, speaks freely
of the many kindnesses they have re-
ceived at her hands. The sewing and
industrial classes connected with the
church depends very largely upon Mrs.
Parker for practical help and coun-
sci, for, with all her other engage
ments and duties, Mrs. Parker finds
time somehow also to look after these
good works.
Mrs. Parker is devoted to her fam
lily To her husband she is all that
a loving wife can be. To her daugh-
ter, Bertha Parker-Hall, and her SON.
inlaw, Rev. Father Hall, she is a
mother to be envied. To her grand
children she is the acme of perfection
When she is in Kingston her grand
children refuse to be separated from
her, and when they visit Rosemont
they are her constant companions
His Political Record.
OF Judge Parker's political record
little need be said. SO long has he
been in the public eye as a judge of
sterling worth that nearly every citi-
zen is familiar with his work and past
history of political nature.
In 1883 the nomination for secre-
tary of state was offered him by the
it. In 1884 Mr.. Parker was a dele
gate to the democratic national con-
vention which nominated Mr. Cleve-
land for president, and actively sup
ported him for that place. In 1885
he was induced to accept the office
of chairman of the democratic state
committee. He conducted the cam
paign to a successful issue, bringing
in David 3. Hill as governor. He de-
clned the post of assistant pOstmas-
ter general in 1885. In 1885 he also
declined to accept a nomination for
lieutenant governor. intending by
these refusals to keep in the line of
his profession and not be beguiled
into political positions.
Soon after he was admitted to the
bar, Mr.. Parker was made clerk of
the board of supervisors of Ulster
county, and held that office from 1873
to 1875.
He was nominated for surrogate in
1877, and was elected by 143 major
ity, running far ahead of his ticket.
He was nominated in 1883 and re-
elected, again running ahead of his

Pillar of the Church.

The nudge is a vestryman in the
of very moderate means, he is probably
the wealthiest man in the congrega
ton. He is the practical pillar of the
church and takes an active interest in
it's charities. it's cooking and sewing
and dancing schools. its physical cul
ture class and it's basket ball games for
bows. He is also a contributor to the
funds of the managers of the Kings
ton City hospital.
His neighborly usefulness is to be
seen on all side. He is ever the
freight agent of a steamboat company,
so that the little private dock on his
farm may be used for the convenience
of the community. and there the fast
ast steamboats, of the Hudson touch
on their way to and from New York.
He is a confirmed magazine reader.
He seldom reads poetry, but is fond of
good novels Mrs. Parker is always
on the alert for new story for her
working husband. But his nat
ural taste is for Dickens, Thackery
and Scott. He delights in the vigorous
ont-of-door atmosphere of The Scot
fish Chiefs" Jefferson is his favorite
noIitical writer. Any book or article
on agriculture or cattle breeding is
sure to interest him.
Fond of Simple Music.

took her to Germany to study music,
