To the Editor of The Globe:
see there is quite a large boom
SldrIe0 IN Minneapolis in favor of Will
nam Il. Hearst as the Democratic candi-
GATE for president, and that a like boom
Tor Judge Parker is to follow this week
IN the interest of party harmony in this
state and particularly in the Fifth con-
gressional district, 1 think this is all
wrong, and that the leaders of these two
GandIdates should get together, agree on
delegates to represent the state at ST
Louis and abide by their decision with
out instruction. After the platform ia
adopted these delegates will naturally
vote tor the man Who is in harmony with
the platform and the strongest man in
those states which we must carry to have
any nope of success. If a strife is to
commence now with view of electing
delegates instructed to vote for either Of
these candidates, are we not endangarinar
the success of John Lind who is doing
more for the credit of our party and in
placing the state in an early dav IN the
Democratic column than the whole bunch
OF SIand-patterS who represent the dOni-
nant party IN this state are doing to re-
tam their supremacy?
doubt very much whether the Hill

strong in the convention to adopt a plat
form which will make Judge Parker the

because he seems to be the choice Of our
RepuDllcan friends. who think they could
deteat him without a campaign fund and
with any kind Of platform. Mr.. Shep-
ara one Of the ablest and purest of gold
Democrats in New York carried Mr.
Hearst's district when a candidate for
mayor by 1000 majority. The brilliant
mcclellan, now popular mayor, carried
the same district in the late election by
900, while Mr.. Hearst comes out of his
district for congress with a majority Of
$4,000. polling Y per cent of all the votes
cast IN his district A 70 ~
IN Greater New York would be so large
that 1t would not be possible for Mr.
Roosevelt to come down to the bridge with

forces and be prepared to Supnort as one
