The man who deserves the nomination

the trust baron who lives in castle built

The charge has been recklessly made
that the evil influences of Wall street are
behind the candidacy of this upright and
uncorruptible judge. The charge is based
upon~no Scintilla of evidence or upon such
evidence only as no adult understanding
ever before stopped to consider. l can
tell the author of this accusation that the
power of Wall street has, in a feeble
way, been felt in this convention, and
that it has been striving as earnestly as
he to defeat the nomination of Alton B.
Parker, and to @aeeomplish the nomination
Of quite another candidate.
Refers to Parker's Silence
Another objection is that Judge Parker
has not ta&en &upon himself the office;

man, who merely happens to be a resi-
dent of Delaware, is in truth as broad as
the continent in his sympathies and out

For fourteen years he was in the SEN
ate, elected by Delaware, but serving the
whole United States. That service was
the steady, calm. convincing service of a
lofty patriot and true Democrat. With
an intellect of the first order guided by
a judgment calm and sure-footed he won
the admiration and confidence of our
country.
He served on the commission which
made peace with Spain, and we all know
now that it would have been well for our
country if his patriotic advice concerning
the terms of that treaty-So earnestly and
eloquently urged-had been needed by the
government
Upon the bench, Judge Gray, as lawyers
know, has taken rank equal to any of the

During the five presidential elections

CONNECTICUT ADDS
VOICE FOR PARKER

& Homer S. Cummings, of Connecticut,
seconded Parker's nomination in the
following words:
The Democracy of Connecticut has a
vital interest in the result of the COM
ing campaign. therefore crave a. few
moments in which to set forth the wishes
of the Democrats of that doubtful and es-
sential state. 1t is our wish to present
TO the Democracy the seven electoral votes
of the old constitutional state of Con-
necticut The Democrats of Connecticut
realize that the people OF this country are
to pass upon the bizarre personality and
the political peculiarities of the present
chief executive. Thoughtful people have
begun to weary of his eccentric advertiS-
ing methods. They are alternately amused
and alarmed by. his strenuous and un-
cept him in his favorite role of a mighty
military captain and they have come to
the conclusion that he has shed more ink
and less blood than, any warrior since
Sancho PanZa.
They are eager for a real American
statesman, of American size, and ami
mated by American constitutional ideas.
Fort portq hade t there IS such candidate
of sound Democratic principles, tried
executive ability. great personal popular
1ty, wide learning in the law, profound
respect for justice and the constitution,
undoubted party. regularity, clean rec
ord, and judicial reputation for dealing
in a large way with large problems.
We can place the insignia of the party
in his hands. secure in the faith that he
will carry it through this contest even
with the fidelity with which the Black
Douglas carried the sacred casket that
contained the heart of Bruce.

ness, the epileptic and convulsive siren
uosity of this administration.
Is Faithful and Popular
We believe. that we have such a man
IN the distinguished jurist from New
York. The fact that he has always sup
ported the nominees of his party shows
his fidelity to the party orga nization. The
fact that he was elected by majority of
so, 600 as a member of the highest court in
New York shows his popularity in that
important state. His record on the bench
demonstrates. his great ability His opin-
Ion in cases where the rights of labor
and the power of unlawful combination
We're involved show that he has never
bowed to the power Of wealth. The fact
that throughout a long official career he
has remained poor shows that he has;
never been touched by greed for gain. His,
political enemies testify to the purity of
his life. and the incorruptible, integrity of
his character.
q. Choose this man for your leader and
the clans of Democracy will threng to his
standard filled with the hope and the in
spiration of victory, assured that the
party which follows his stainless banner
will never know dishonof and never taste
defeat.

Realizing the bright prospects of vic

wisely and well. We looked fer a leader
with a clean life, possessed Of a wise

One who stood by Democracy in sun
Shine and shadow. was equally loyal to
the party in stormy hours of defeat and
in the brighter days of victory. We found
such a leader. Georgia claims the honor.

No one can doubt that the vast majority
of the people will turn from the restless

ministration toward Alton B. Parker with
a feeling of restfuiness and hope. No
Organized movement was ever behind the
Candidacy of Judge Parker. The people.
