X " Bryo>n Will Vote For Parker


shall vote for Parker and Davis, the nomi-
nees of the democratic national convention, and
shall do SO for the following reasons:
First-Because the democratic ticket stands
for opposition to Imperialism while the republican
ticket stands for an imperialistic policy. On this
question, which was the paramount issue in 1900,
and which must remain an important issue so
long as an attempt is made to hold colonies Under
the American fag-on this issue the convention
was unanimous the platform emphatic, and have
no doubt that the candidate will carry out the
platform
Second-Mr Roosevelt is injecting the race
issue into American politics, and this issue, il it
becomes national, will make it impossible to con-
slider economic questions that demand solution
The election of the democratic ticket will put
quietus upon this attempt and permit the race
question to work itself out without the bitterness
which Mr. Roosevelts conduct has engendered
Third-Mr Roosevelt stands for the spirit of
war. His friends present him as man of blood
and iron He believes in strenuousness and in
culcates a love for war-like things. The demo-
cratic ticket stands for peace for reason aud for
arbitration rather than for force, conquest and
bluster.
Fourth-The democratic platform declares in
favor of the reduction of the standing army, and
as this plank was unanimously adopted there is
reason to believe that democratic success on
this subject would bring some advantage to the
people
For these four reasons feel justified in sup
porting the ticket but shall not mis-
represent the situation, or appeal for votes for
the ticket upon false grounds. democratic VIC
tory will mean very little, ii any, progress
on economic questions SO long as the
party is under the control of the Wall street
element On the money question Mr. Parker is as
thoroughly committed to the side OF The fnancicrs
as Mr. Roosevelt. If he does not go as far as
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1904-07-14

ate attempt to deceive the party The New York
platform was vague and meaningless and pur-
posely so, because the advocates of Judge Parker
were trying to secure votes from among the people
who would have opposed his views had they known
them. II he had sent to the Albany convention
the tele cram that he sent to the St. Louis con-
vention he would have had very few instructed
delegates from the south, and no possible chance
for the nomination. But he and his managers
adroity and purposey concealed his position un-
til the delegates had been corraed and the nOmna-
tion assured Then his friends attempted to
secure gold plank which was overwhelmingly
defeated in the committee. After the party had
rejoiced over the harmony secured by the Omis-
sion of the question, and after he had secured
the nomination, he injected his views upon
the subject at time when he could not be
taken from the ticket without great demoraliza-
tion. The nomination was secured. therefore, BY
crooked and indefensibe methods, but the demo-
crat who loves his country has to make his de-
cisions upon conditions as he finds them, not upon
conditions as he would like to have them.
After having stated that shall support the
ticket. and after having given my reason for 50
doing, think it due to the democrats Of the ma
tion to say that while the fight on economic
questions is postponed, it is not abandoned. AZ
soon as the election is over shall with the help
of those who believe as | do, undertake to or
ganize for the campaign Of 1908 the object being
to marshal the friends of popular government
within the democratic party to the support Of g
radical and progressive policy to make the demo-
cratic party an efficient means in the hands Of the
people for securing relief from the plutocratc ele
ment that controls the republican party and for
the time hpiug c0ntrOI hp n
party. This plan of organization will be eIab0r-
ated SOON 1t is only mentioned at this time that
the readers of The COmmoner may know that
the contest for economic and political reform will
begin again as the polls close. and be
continued until success is achieved

the republicans would in retiring silver dollars,
in establishing branch banks, In enlarging the
powers of the national banks, and in the SUBJ
sttution of asset currency for the present cur
rency, 1t will be because he is restrained by the
democrats in the house and senate. Nothing good
can be expected of him on the money question.
On the trust question the democratic plat
form is very much better than the republican
platform, but the nomination Of Judge Parker
virtually nuifes the antitrust plank. Unless in
his letter of acceptance he commits himself to at
tempt antitrust legislation need not expect
him to pursue different course from that pur-
sued by President Roosevelt.
So far as the labor questions are concerned we
must await Judge Parker's letter before we shall
know whether the laboring man has anything to
expect from his election. The labor plank as pre-
pared by Judge Parker's friends on the sub-com-
mittee was straddling meaningless plank. In
the full committee planks were adopted in favor
of arbitration, the eight-hour day, and against
government by injunction; also plank On the
Colorado situation If Judge Parker is silent or
ambiguous on these subjects it will mean that the
financial influence back of him will not permit
him to take the labor side on these disputed ques-
tions
On the tariff question some little progress
may be hoped for, but the Parker men on the
committee were nearly all in favor OF very con-
seryatye tariff plank, and it remaiIs to be seen
whether Judge Parker will carry out the positive
and definite plank which was submitted by the
full committee This is the situation
Judge Parker stands for enough things that
are good to justify me in giving him my vote, but
as have tried to point out for several months,
the triumph of the Wall street element of the
party denies to the country any hope Of relief on
economic questions. have nothing to take back,
| have nothing to withdraw of the things that
have said against the methods pursued to ad-
vance his candidacy 1t was plain and deliber-

burned to death here. The particulars
as near as can be learned ase as follows:
It seems as though the boys had in
dulged a little too freely in liquor. and
about 1 o'clock became somewhat bolster
-ous. Night Watchman Chapman being
unable to persuade them to go to their
homes, placed them in jail TO sober up.
About two hours later smoke was dis
covered issuing from the building by
Chapman. who gave the alarm and un-
locked the door only to find the whole
interior in a mass Of fIames.
The entire building was consumed in Il
very few minutes. The poor victims. who
no doubt had suffocated before the flames
reached them, were burned beyond recog-
milton. The only mark of identification
was a ring which was found on the finger
of Carlton Black, whose remains were
taken to the Stinson-Lamberson under
taking rooms. After the corouer's jury
had viewed the body 1t was removed to
the Manhattan hotel. where brief funer-
al services were held and then laid to
rest in the Oakdale cemetery Il

fire originated will never be known. but
the supposition is that they were smok-

The verdict OF the coroner's jury was
that they met their deaf by burning while
confined in the Jail The origin OF the
