 q have carefully read Judge Parker's speech of acceptance and having been an ardent supporter of Judge Parker from the first the subject matter of his speech more than justifies the estima- tion I have had of him from the be- ginning. It Is sound Democratic doc Urine. from beginning to end. He has stated the principles of Democracy with B direetness and clearness that has never been surpassed. He has square Nv met every issue inovlved in this canvass. After had seen and talked with him I had no doubt about his speech of acceptance presenting in the most attractive and intelligent form the Democratic faith. It is so lucid and plain in statement that every citizen in this country can perfectly understand and accurately ascertain exactly where Judge Parker stands upon every issue Involved in the present campaign.
 If the American people desire to continue their Federal Government up- on the principles and plans intended by the fathers who created 1t, then they will vote for Judge Parker for President of the United States. He Represents. in his views and his own personality, the fundamental principles lthat we have been taught from the time of the creation of this Republic, to cherish and to endeavor to perpetu- 'hte. My faith in the American people Is such as to induce me to believe that they will avail of the present oppor- tunfty to elect a President who will give them a constitutional and lawful administration of our Federal affairs"
