There should be no disagreement among
Democrats when the fact Is staring them In
the face that their liberty is being raped.
their patrimony Is beng stolen from them
the very bread is being taken from them by
the rapaeious trusts OF the country. as we'll
as their meat. that they are adrift on the
unknown sea OF fcolonialism which is foreign
to the letter and the spirit OF the Constitu.
ton OF the county, that the lust OF loot aud
the greed OF graft has permeated and
honeycombed every department Of the
national government until II reeks with
rottenneSs OF honest administration.
IL Is up TO the people TO stop this riot OF
rapaciiy or allow their grand republic and
the greatest government ever established
by man since the tide OF time began to fall
to pieces to disintegrate of its own rottn.
ness because owned and controlled by the
predatory wealth OF the country which also
owns and controls the Republican PARTY. its
agent The only way the people can do
this is to defeat the Republican party In the
campaign just now opening up, aud the
only way 10 defeat the Republican party is
to vote the Democratic ticket straight from
top to bottem. appeal to the Republican
voters OF the country who are honest men
regardless OF their past political Affiliations.
to the great aud independent voter who
votes his conscience and his honest con.
victions regardless OF party lines aud to the
good old straight Dmeocrat who votes his
ticket after the nomination has been made
no matter how sorely disappointed he may
have been at the result No man, however.
has the right TO be disappointed at the
result AS every man knows who has read
this correspondence for the past year and
hall did not support Judge Parker for
the nomination. II, as a man who did not
support him for the nomination. | rejoice
now In hrs nomination and honestly believe
that II was the solution OF the problem OF
getting together OF the warning factions OF
the Democratic party, other men who we're
similarly minded can do the same thing.
Did you ever study meni Then 20 up
and meet Judge Parker aud you will under.
stand my enthusiasm for our candidate for
the presidency. lie loves nature and loves
the smell Of new mown hay. OF mother earth
and the breezes that come TO him un.
contaminated by the touch OF anything but
nature In all her purity. lie loves horses
and he loves children. That's why he Is a
real man that's why he grasps your hand
In hearty shake; that's why he can laugh
out loud, and that's why he can look you
squarely in the eye when he Is doing IL.
Judge Parker is over six feet in height.
broad shoudered. deep chested and
athletic. lie is at the very zenith OF his
physical and intellectual powers. a man
devoted to clean constitutional government
economically administered in the interests
OF the whole people, and that's why he
makes an ideal candidate OF the Demo.
cratic party for the presidency OF the
United States, and that's why he would
make an ideal president OF the same.
Judge Parker is one Of the few men you
meet with sun kissed hair and mustAche
and big expressive brown eyes with merry
twinkle in them He possesses keen
sense OF the ludicrous. loves joke and can
laugh al IL and, therefore, does not make
the mistake Of taking himself too seriously.
Every member OF the national committee
who that day enjoyed the hospitality Of
Hon. Norman T.. Mack aud who met Judge
Parker. was impressed with him exactly as
was and every one Of them went home
singing his praises and was his personal
friend and we'll wisher as we'll as his sworn
political partisan
He is going TO be elected and the people
OF the country will have in the White
House deep student a great constitu.
tional lawyer. man who loves the people
and who knows their needs and best OF all
a generous, honest, manly man.
