The San Francisco call., 1904-11-01

the candidate took severely to task
his Republican opponents. following
the lines of speech made recently at
Rosemount on the same subject.
Isidor Strauss presided. When he
referred to Judge Parker it was sew
eral minutes before he could proceed.
The audience rose en- masse and
waved flags and shouted itself hoarse.
Hoke Smith of Georgia, former
Secretary of the Interior, was then in
troduced. Smith had just begun a

policy when Judge Parker entered the
building. Every one in the audi
ence sprang to his feet. The applause
was one continuous roar.

Was Only Teasing" Another minute
passed and Judge Parker stepped to
the fore, but this only tended to excite
the audience, which refused to subside
until twenty-four minutes OF unbroken
enthusiasm had passed. Judge Parker
said: ;.
