An interesting portrait of Congress
man Il. Wayne Parker, champion of
Aldrichism and Cannonism and stanch
friend of privilege, was drawn by his
Democratic opponent, Edward w.
townsend, at the mass-meeting hello
under the auspices Of the Wanaqu,
Democratic Club last night. Mr.. Town
send also conferred upon Mir. Parker a
nov and highly descriptive title, de-
elaring him to be far from a Prosres-
sive, and not merely a ~standpatter,
but a "push-baoker," firm in the belief
that conditions are to be bettered not
by progress but by pushing back.

Mr.. Townscnd's speech.
Mr.. Townsend said:
Fl have been asked what ! thought
cl Mn. Parker's Endorsement and praise
Ct the Aldrich- Payne tariff law. l say
that 1t is admirable; it is consistent,
lold and characteristic. It proves what
| have always maintained in respect
to Air. Parker. He is a loyal and af-
f%ectionate supporter of Aldrichism n
Gannonism from principles; he believes
rs honestly in Congress giving rich
and special privileges to a class as L
believe that no special privileges should
be granted by Congress to any class.
believing as he does from principle,
! admire Nh. Parker's courage in
frankly confessing his beliefs.
@'He is more than a s~tand-patter; he
is a ~pushbacker. He believes that CON
ditions can be improved, not by prog
ress, not even by standing pat, but by
pushing back. He is a sturdy upholder
of the privileges of a class against the
rights of the masses, and. upon my
word. I cannot help admiring his cour-
age while / detest his beliefs.
Former Governor Griggs is begin
ming to attack some of the statements
DIR. Wilson is making. DIR. Wilson
does not need a defender. Mr.. Griggs
refers to the tariff and uses the stock
reply, High tariff makes high wages.
Many believe that the tariff question
is difficult to understand. TO the con-
trary it is very simple and very in
teresting.
Take these three classes of labor
bricklayer, stonecutter and locomotive
engineer-no three classes are better
paid.

organizations that command and de-

tries. How does Mr.. Griggs account
for such a comparison"
Mayor HaussIing Introduced.
Chairman Child then introduced
Mayor Haussling.
You all know that during the heat
of the bitter campaign waged two
years ago not one word was said about
Mayor Haussling s honesty" he said.
Yes, it was enough to scare many
from voting, our when the votes were
counted it showed that some of them
must have voted. It's no use going
farther into it." said the Mayor. You
all know what sorrow it brought into
many families.
II made no effort to get the nomina-
ton a third time after serving you
twice. 1 thought you were tired of see
ing me.
I'm pretty sure my opponent is not
saying all that the newspapers claim
he is on the sewer question:"
The Mayor then referred to the mead
ow reclamation, pavement of Broad
and Market streets. subway. and other
improvements.
whats the use of hurrying over
from New York if we must wait at the

part Of the city? All these improve

are waiting to get the chance to take
