Il Parker addressed two party mass meet
ings to-day. one workingmens gathering,
at Endicott, and the other at ST PaGls
Hail. this city. AT each meeting there was
a large assembIage.
At to-night's meeting Judge Parker said;
Now that you understand ROosevelt's rec
ora on the trust question, you can appre-
clate MS search for trust buster Tor
candidate. He could not find one, but ne
did mud man who in the performance OF
ms onclal duty had collected vast sum
of money from the Sugar Trust and con-
vtcted several of its employees Of crime.
1t is most astonishing that this simple
record OF duty done should be rewarded
by nomination for the office of Governor
Prosecuting attorneys in every county IN
the state nave been doing their duty n
the same way for more tnan century ana
yet not one of them has been nominated
for Governor because, and solely because, or
duty done.
duty had required of him to proceed
against trust when his party leader
deemed himself in sore need Of exploiting
the fact that he had appointed man 10
office who did not flee from the perform
ance of simple duty for which he was
abundantly paid. Now let us give him fui
credit for having complied with his oath of
Cffice-it is exact justice to do so. Suil. the
people will conclude 7 think that they 10
not want him for Governor at this crisis
in the affairs of our State-a crisis auSed
by waste and extravagance in every direc-
ticn. We need an executive now VINO VIII

he secured it, Then. after few years OF
service. he saw an opportunity to make
more money out Of the government than
the salary, if its representatives would con-

This was the thought that came to him:
II can resign as District Attorney and
with my influence I can get the ATTORNEY
General to designate me as special counSe'

pOrtunity. therefore. came to Stiuson then
and there 10 decide whether he would
serve the public or himself and he chose
the latter.

expenses for the succeeding fifteen months

How much more he Is TO get no one knows.
But this we do know. that he acts precisely
as his Republican official brethren have
acted during the last ten wears or so. In
helping out one another they have bur
dened the public. both in state and nation.
1t is the present purpose Of the people, as
