THE FORCES BEHIND PARKER

No one for a m will intimate
that Judge Parker approves the senti-
ment of Congressman Hefin of Ala
bama who, in a recent speech, declared:
There they sat. Roosevelt and Booker,
and If some Czolgosz or one of his kind
had thrown a bomb under the table no
great harm would lave been done to the
country"
Nor will we believe hat Judge Parker
approves of the sentiment contained in
the following sentence, added by this
same Representative Hefin at Tuskeegee,
under the very shadow of the great in
stitution presided over by Booker T..
Washington:
IF Booker Washington takes a hand
In this it will be one time l will ask him
to step out. / will ask him to hands
off. and you know we have a way Of
influencing down here"
We repeat that no one will accuse
Judge Parker of emphasizing these sem
timents; and yet it should be remem-
bered by the American voter that Judge
Parker is the standard bearer of the
party which does approve of such SEN
timent, and it is ruled largely by those
who not only advocate such methods, but
who put them into execution. Should
Judge Parker be elected on the Sth OF
next November, and with him a major
ity of the house of representatives. that
majority would be controlled by men of
the stripe of this man Hefin. who. with
Tillman and V~ardaman, would see to 1t
that, If in any portion of the south
either the Fourteenth or Fifteenth
amendments are now observed, they
would become absolutely dead and nulli-
fed. in spite of the various constitu-
tional clubs which are making so much
noise throughout the north. The Dem
ocratic party today. as it has been from
It's birth. is controlled by the south. ana
will continue to be so long as the Con-
stitution Of the United States and it's
amendments are not enforced and lived
up to.

nate the intelligence and the refinement
of the people of the south to the rule OF
barbaric ignorance and degradation
etc, etc. Thus the race issue was fair
ly launched in Baltimore, and Senator
German Is confident it will prove a vote
winner.
At Boston, on the previous evening,
President Eliot. of Harvard university,
was a guest at a dinner given in honor
of Booker T. Washington by negroes
constituting the Mems Forum of Cam

that "for the first time In history a

BRYAN "ACCEPTS" PARKER

II Parker is acceptable to William J.
Bryan, he should certainly also be ac-
ceptable to every Democrat and Silver
man in Nevada.-Wells Herald.
This is how acceptable to Mr.. Bryan
Parker's candidacy is. In the Common
er. July 10, 1904. Mr.. Bryan says:
II shall not misrepresent the situation,
or appeal for votes for the lick upon
false grounds. A Democratic victory
will mean VERY LITTLE, IF ANY,
PROGRESS on economical questions SO
long as the party is under the control Of
the Wall street element. - The
LABOR PLANK as repaired by Judge
Parker's friends on the subcommittee
was a STRADDLING, MEANINGLESS
plank. The nomination of Judge
Parker VIRTUALLY NULLIFIES TIM
ANTITRUST PLANK"
Again. in the same number of the Com
moner. Mr.. Bryan further shows with
h enthusiasm he accepts" Parker's
candidacy. Mr.. Bryan says:
II have nothing to take back, l have
nothing to withdraw of the things that /
have said against the methods pursued
to advance his candidacy. 1t was a plain
and deliberate attempt to deceive the
party. The New York platform was
vague and purposely so, because the adj
vocates of Judge Parker were trying to
secure votes from among the people
WHO WOULD HAVE OPPOSED HIS
VIEWS had they known them. . .
The nomination was secured. therefore,
by CROOKED AND INDISPENSABLE
METHODS"
If that Is not enough to cause every
Democrat and Silver man In Nevada to
fairly boil over with enthusiasm for the
head of the Democratic ticket, perhaps
the following, taken from a speech made
will fan the dying embers of Democratic
zeal. This is what Mr.. Bryan said:
Il opposed the nomination of Parker
because he did not stand for what we
have been fighting for in Nebraska for
eight years. 1 have not recan,ed from
that stand. and have not withdrawn from
where l stood. / have not changed my
position. l believed these things when /
stood before you as a candidate and 1
believe in them today"
Having accepted Mr.. Bryan's estimate
Of Judge Parker's candidacy, every Dem
ocrat and Silver man in the State of Ne
vada will be ready to accept. also, the
Nebraska orators logical conclusion as
to what will happen to Parker in Mo-
vember. IN this point Mr.. Bryan says:
y Influences back of the Parker candi-
dacy are so INTIMATELY ASSOCIAI-
ED WITH THE TRUSTS AND Gina
CORPORATIONS that the Democratic
party could not appeal to the masses.
The second objection is that HE CAN
NOT WIN. With such a candidate the
battle will begin with a foot race and
END with a rout."
Yes. indeed. Parker Is very accept
able" to Mr.. Bryan.
