SAYS POPULISTS WOULD
VOTE FOR w. r. HEARST.
He Is the Man That Party FavOrs for
President.


Louisville, KY, May 21.-The Times
to-day says;
j. A. Parker, chairman of the Ma
tional Executive Committee of the
Populist party, said to-day in an in
terview that Hearst would receive the
support of the Populist in Kentucky
and elsewhere.
Il speak for the national leaders of
my party when l say that we are for
him." said Mr.. Parker. His views
and principles agree with ours. He
advocates certain principles for which
we have been fighting for years. If
the Democrats nominate him the Popu-
list party will put out no ticket"
But does not the Populist party
meet in national convention in Spring
field on July 4, before the Democrats
meet? ?"
Yes, that is a fact" replied Parker,
but l am now advocating a post
ponement of this date for two weeks,
in order that we may know whether
the Democrats nominate Hearst or
whether they are able to name man
who believes as he does. All our party
leaders agree with me that this should
be done and l think it will be found
shortly that we have postponed our
convention. Then, of course, If the
Democrats do not nominate Hearst, We
will meet and name d ticket"
