WASHINGTON LETTER
April 9-The earnest activity of the
Hearst people lately has had the effect
of making the opposition to him ''get
busy and their methods and the
manner of campaign they are making
and the men who represent it,
especially the Parker end of it was
amply demonstrated the other day by
the presence here at the National
Capitol of Mr. August Belmont, of
| New York, who came as the &C.
credited representative of Parker to
have a conference with number Of
the representative southern Demo-
Gratis. If anything were needed to
give their hands away and notify the
people who and what is behind the
Parker boom, the presence here of
Mr.. Belmont as his spokesman ssshould
be an ample suf6oiency. Everybody
knows that Mr. Belmont was one of
( the chief boilers in 1896 and 1900 and
that he supported Palmer and Buckner
in the campaign of 1896 and voted for
Mckinley in 1900. The feeling among
the loyal democrats here was aptly
described by Congressman Benton, of
Missouri, when he asked the two
questions Ills Belmont q democrat
Who sent him here?' There was
distinct feeling Of resentment among
the loyal democrats that such man
should come here as the spokesman
and representative Of the Parker in
terests and attempt to dictate to
democrats who always have supported
the ticket as to whom they should
place in nomination as the leader Of
the democracy. They have no feeling
toward Judge Parker except kindly
feeling. There is nothing over which
to have any feeling. They do not
know anything about him or what he
stands for. They suppose he voted the
ticket in the past two campaigns, as
millions Of other good democrats did.
and that he deserves no epecial credit
for it. He would deserve censure If he
had not If, however, he stands for
what the men who come here repre-
senting him stand for, then the loyal
democrats here do not want him as
their leader. They justly resent and
absolutely repudiate such leadership.
They utterly refuse to be led by the
men who, in the past two campaigns
did all in their power to defeat the
party and did defeat 1t. So, the visit
of Mr.. Belmont here in the interest of
Judge Parker has really done him
more harm than good. The consensus
of opinion is that the Judge has been
very unhappy in his choice of cham
pion.
In speaking of this visit of Mr.. Bel
mont to the capital. Mr.. E. J. Liver
nash, member of Congress from
California. calls it refreshing i'm
pudence. lie also said-Who is
August Belmont. pray, that he should
be considered In the choosing of a
standard bearer for the party Of the
plain people?
''The Democratic party is founded
on hostility to all forms of aristocra-
cy. August Belmont is, in his every
sympathy, cold aristocrat. Is
THAT why he should dictate?
The democratic party is for equality
of all Americans before the law.
August Belmont has spent most of his
manhood years battling for inequali'
ties before the law. Is THAT why
he should dictate?
1.-THE democratic party is pledged
by it's principles, It's traditione and
It's promises to put down the criminal
trusts. August Belmont Is Of the con-
spirators whose practices have bred
the peril calling for stern action. Is
THAT why he should dictates'
There were good many more hot
shots that came from the locker of
Mr. Livernash anent this visit of the
representative of the money loads who
are seeking the nomination of Mr..
Parker. and they are thoroughly rep
resentative Of the sentiments Of the
majority of the democrats here. They.
maintain, and justly 80, that If Judge
Parker..is being touted by such men as
August Belmont and his gang then
they are the men evidently, who
will control Judge Parker and
his Standardization in cases he
should. be- elected to the Presi-
