would have been passed without material
,oppostlon But after the remarks OF
Senator Daniel, who was known to be,
With .he lights before him. In favor Of
Judge Parker's nomination, the delegates
not 1t into their heads that any resolution
of this character would be construed as
an Instruction, and as they desired that
the delegates should go to St. Louis ABB
solutcly FREQ to vote as they thought
best a majority Of the members OF the
convention determined to have no resolu-

Tho members Of the convention we're
not enthusiastic for Parker because they
know very little about him, and 1t was

Parker Is regarded as the most available

The Passing Of Knox.

A. year or so ago when President
Roosevelt was not face to face with
presidential campaign. he ordered At
torney- General Knox to proceed against
nm ALLEGED railroad trust. Tho announce
ment OF the suit gave Wall Street
shock that came near precipitating
panic and the remarks Of Wall Street
and It's associates In various parts OF the
country about the trust-busting President
were by no means pleasant to the ears
OF an ambitious accidental who was
earnestly DESTROYS Of another term.
But the President had turned loose his
dog Of war and could not call him Off.
The suit had been Instituted and had to
be prosecuted to finish. The Attorney
General became interested In the prose-
cut,on, and 1t must be confessed that he
made good fight. More than that he
made successful fight and when the
courts decided against the trust and
"busted" 1t sky high. the antitrust fo!ks
throughout the broad land began to
clamor for moro suits and for more
trust-busting. They liked the sport

unhappy dilemma. He knew not what 10

might be taken as a slap at Parker. He
favored an expression OF preference for
Parker. as he believed the party as at
present advised held that view. but he
opposed all instructions He advocated
he position of Mr.. Glass, and amid cheer
ing expressed the belief that the delega-
ton would be guided by 1t at st. Louis.

there should be no disagreement on this
matter.
"Let these resolutions be tabled" no
appealed, "Let this discussion stop, and

Mr.. Glass followed Senator Martin, and
said he had believed the subject should
not have been brought before the con-
ycnt;on. He was opposed to instructions
nnd this was why he had offered his reso-
luton. The statement of Senator Mar
lin was entirely satisfactory to him, and
he would therefore not reoffcr his reso-
