PARKER
MAY SPEAK
IN INDIANA

Esopus, n Y. Aug. 1s.-No definite
plans have been made for Judge Parker
to visit the west during the campaign. but
IL is almost certain that speaking tour
of some kind will be arranged. 1t may be
that Indiana will be the only state in the
west where the candidate will speak,
though his presence is desired in Ne
braska, Wisconsin. Colorado and Illinois.
This question will be taken up at once
by the national committee and an early
announcement is expected. IL was stated
at Rosemount today that Major q. v.
Menzies and John w. Spencer Of Indiana
received no answer to their invitation TO
Judge Parker to visit their state, but II
Is known, too. that he did not decline.
The general impression here is that Judge
Parker will make several speeches i'm the
west when he goes TO the 81. Louis ex-
position, probably late In September
Messrs Menzies and Spencer left Rose
mount for New York today where they
will consult with National Chairman Tag
gart in regard 10 the Indiana situation.
The first guest TO arrive at Rosemount
today was Dr. Henry Loomis Nelson Of
Williams college. Massachusetts. who
discussed economic topics with the candi-
date. lie remained until noon and as a
result the Judge missed his morning ride.

'Elkins, w. Va, Aug. 49, 1904.
Mr.. L. V. Johnson Roanoke. Va:
My Dear Mr.. Jchnscn:-I am glad to
nave your letter calling my attention to

OF hostility TO the laboring class. No one
who knows me personally or is at all ac-
quainted with the circumstances OF my

there were strikes. and these were OF
short duration and peaceably settled.
mo man has ever been discharged from
our service because he was n union man
or been evicted from a company house for
any reason. | think you will find that the
conditions OF the railroad man and the
miner I'm connection with the enterprises
/ have directed will compare most favor
ably with those I'm other localities OF the
country. always have believed and my
conviction came from the hard school OF
experience. that measured by the char
acter OF the work he does and the cost Of
living every man is entitled to full com
pensation for his services.
II am charged with having instituted
proceedings which led TO an injunction
against strikers by Judge Jackson OF this
