Not to Take The Stump.

All Democrats who have been
brought into personal contact with
Judge Parker will deeply regret his
decision not to make any speeches in
this campaign except from bis front
porch at Rosemount, for all who have
seen and heard him believe that he
would greatly increase his chances OF
election by making stumping tour of
the country He looks like Il man of
capacity, and he is a tiptop speaker.
There appears to be a sort OF super
stition to the effect that no presiden-
tial candidate who stumps the country
can be elected. which is utter nonsense.
Stephen A. Douglas began it in 1860.
but does any sane man believe that he
would have come any nearer election
if he had remained at home? No hu-
man power could have brought success
to the Democrats after the split at the
Charleston convention. Horace Gree
ley made a great campaign, but was
defeated not because he made q series
of wonderful stump speeches, but be-
cause The one gallus Democrats would
not support him-the Democrats who
expect no office and want none.
The next candidate who stumped the
country was James Gillespie Blaine,
who engendered much enthusiasm and
made votes wherever he went. His
speeches helped him amazingly. Had
he not made his last visit to New York
city he would have been elected easily.
The things which defeated him were
the Delmonieo Belshazzar's feast and
Burchard's words of ALTERATION
Blyan's great stunping tour came
near electing him. The truth is that
if he had stayed west of the Ale
ghanies ana not wasted much of his
time in the hopelessly Republican
states Of the east his stump oratory
would have elected him. Stamping
helps and does not hurt a presidential
candidate.

tion that public sentiment favored Judge
Parker Among the strongest reasons
which the public finds for voting for
President Roosevelt is the kind of infiu-
ence which is opposing him and the kind
which is giving its aid to Judge Parker.
And one of the most powerful factors in
warning the public away from Judge Par

this community which denounces Mr..
Roosevelt as a menace to the country
