FOLK DECLARES PARKER'S
SELECTION Is CHALLENGE

TRENTON, June 22.-Former Gov
ernor Joseph w. Folk, of Missouri,
who was In this city last night to
make an address to the graduates of
an educational institution, comment
ed thus OF Judge Parker's selection
for temporary chairman of the Demo-
cratic national convention at Balti-
more:
Judge Parker Is a most estimable
gentleman, and he has grown in po-
litical stature in the estimation of
the people since 1904, but his selec-
ton as temporary chairman of the
convention by the national committee
upon the demand of Mr.. Murphy, of
New York, was a challenge to the
Progressives which they must accept
and fight out, else the control of the
convention must be conceded to the
r~eactionaries. The selection Of the
temporary chairman is announced as
a direct slap at Colonel Bryan. While
1t cannot be said that Colonel BRYAN
has started the trouble, If he accepts
the gage OF battle, as he must do.

FIGHT GENERAL BAKING co,

With the cooperation of the Essex
Trades Council. the local bakers
unions will at once take up the fight
against the General Baking Com
pany, which, 1t Is claimed. is en-
~deavoring to replace male labor with
female labor through the introduction
of machinery. Hearty Endorsement
of the plan to fight the trust to a
finish was given by the delegates Of
the various unions at last nights
meeting Of the council.
The Weber bakery, a local concern.
is charged with being IA subsidiary
OF the larger corporation, which. the
local bakers claim, is a %non-union
concern. controlled by the steel trust.
The employees, it is said. are poorly
paid and forced to work from sixteen
to eighteen hours a day.
Action against the General Baking
Company will be taken today at a
convention of flfty-two unions in New
York city. Delegates were sent to
the meeting by the local unions with
instructions to take an active part in
tne UBHl dEdllsl inc trust. Inc
alleged methods Of the large company
and of the local concern were ex-
planned to the delegates last night by
Joseph Schmidt. who declared that the
existing conditions were to be de-
plored.

swer 1t at once. but he declined to
give any intimation as to the tenor of
his reply. He was perfectly willing
that Mr.. Bryan make the reply public
as soon as ii was received, the gov
ernor said.
1t was his practise. the governor
added, that any communication from
him be left to the recipient to give
out, and he would have to adhere In
this instance to that practise. He
would make no further statement.
BOSTON, June Ex-Governor Foss
sent the following telegram to MIR.
Bryan last night In reply to the lat
ter's telegram opposing the selection
of Judge Parker as temporary chair
man of the Democratic national con-
vention:
Your telegram received. I believe
the Democratic party is so fully
committed to progressive principles
that the adoption of a progressive
platform and nomination of a pro-
gressive candidates are absolutely
certain. Upon tariff reduction, aboli-
ton of monopoly and perfecting the
agencies of popular government our
party Is united. and sure to win the
coming election.

subordinate all personal issues to
these great questions of principle. in
order that our party may not weaken
the important advantage 1t nov pos
sesses."

THIRD PARTY

ton is in control of the Roosevelt
men. In such cases the Republican
candidates for State Offices may be
Endorsed, If they do not wish to 60
through the form of boiling. The
plan suggested by William Finn, OF
Pittsburgh, of turning over the cleo
toral vote of such States to Roose-
Welt, whoever the Republican candi-
date for President nay be, will be
followed. If 1t IA be accomplished.
Roosevelt leaders said that their
only reason in staying through the
Republican convention was to force
their opponents to nominate Taft.
They believed hat should a definite
rupture occur before the conclusion
of the convention a compromise cam
didate might be named in an effort to
win back some of the Roosevelt fol-
lowing. but that IL thefTaft program
Is put through they will have the best
chance of keeping the opposition in
tact.
Governor Johnson. of California,
said that In pursuance of this plan,
Colonel Roosevelt's name in all prob
ability would not be placed before
the convention.
Colonel Roosevelt's name will not
be presented by his friends TO his
convention as now constituted" was
the fiat declaration of Ormsby Me-
Harg, of the Roosevelt forces. early
today.
The nominating speech of William
A. Prendergast. which has been in
tended to be delivered in presenting
Mr.. Roosevelt. will not be made.
1.-THE Roosevelt forces will remain
in the convention, but as long ae
tainted delegates remain, and there
seems every prospect that they will
remain, we will not participate in
the nomination"
Mr.. McHarg declared tina Colonel
Roosevelt's friends insisted upon a
third party, n that at the close of
this convention they would remain in
Chicago with Mr.. Roosevelt for the
purpose of comforting on new party
plans. MI. MeHarg expressed the be-
lief that a convention would be
planned to be called probably within
six weeks.
Have you seen the suggestion of a
possible Independent ticket with
Bryan and Roosevelt as the standard
bearers, Mr.. Roosevelt to be the can
didate for vice-president?' he was
asked.
Does the sun bow, at the moon?'
was Mr.. McHarg's reply.
Mr.. McHarg added. however, that
he saw no reason why an honest
Democrat and an honest Republican
could not unite or a platform of pro-
gressiveism.
Before going to the convention hall
Governor Hadley conferred for some
time with Colonel Roosevelt.
"I shall remain in the convention"
said the governor. whether l shall
join any party but the Republican
party is a question:
Colonel Roosevelt gave little heed
today to the proceedings of the con-
vention. bending his efforts chiefly
toward the formation of a temporary
organization of tho new party. Some
time during the day he will meet tho
rejected Roosevelt delegates who, he
commended. were replaced by fraudu-
lent Taft delegates.

his election. Speaker Clark,
Leader Underwood and Governor
Harmon remained in the offices to
which the people elected them and
attended to their duties, there
fore, we would appreciate an
honest answer to this question.
These questions are all based on
absolute truths, any of which may be
verified. but I feel. as a loyal Demo
crat, that they should be answered
satisfactorily by one who is an aspi-
rant for the Democratic presidential
nomination.
1t Is my firm belief that Governor
Wilson'S every act. his lack of COM
mon courtesy. his cratic s~elfishness,
his utter failure to ~appreciate what
party loyalty really means. his mat
tention to the duties of his office,
should be considered nv the delegates
who meet in Baltimore TO nominate
a man who will not only prove him
self a real Democrat a certain winner
at the fall elections. but also be above
all a man who viii unite the great
Democratic party to the end that
honest representative government will
be restored again to the people of this
country.

REASONS WHY GOV. WILSON
SHOULD NOT GET NOMINATION

Governor Wilson, dsregarding the courteous refusal of his dis
tnguished opponents to invade New Jersey, allowed his name to be
printed upon every ballot of every State wherein a presidential pref
erential choice could be expressed
"Twenty-one thousand stalwar New Jersey Democrats, without
organization and without a candidate. voted against Wilson at the
1912 presidential primaries-s0 per cent of the entire Democratic vote
polleds
1.-THE Democratic voters of the city of Newark, the greatest in
population, manufacturing. wealth and influence in the State. and the
centre of Its social and business life, returned four anti-Wilson dele
gates to the Baltimore convention by an overwhelming majority.
THE letter appealing to the Democratic delegates throughout the
country to support Governor Wilson for the presidential nomination is
a most striking demonstration of the lack of consistency, honor and
veracty that has characterized the activities of the Wilson sup
porters IN every State in the u Mon.
at demonstrates the inherent spirit of political dishonor and
hypocrisy which permeates not only the governor himself. but also
those who arr supporting his CT ndidacy for the sake of the patronage

This is merely another effort to
delude the delegates from other
States who base their opinion of the
Governor solely upon the highiy-col-
ored statements issued by the Wilson
Press syndicate.
The Governor has repeatedly APP
pointed to office men who were non
residents of the State, men who were
not of the same political faith. men
who were accused in the public press
of being dishonest in their business
lives. He repeatedly appointed to
office men who had traded the party
candidates for Republican emolu-
ments year in and year out, until at
tracted by the Thorough. practical
and successful politician Wilson
they endeavored to play straight
until they received their share of

honesty, who had served their party
in season and out of season, men
who had fought for direct primaries,

presidential light" and who were
entitled, because of their party 10y

Chairman Norman B.. Mack, who
placed Parker's name before the com
mittee of arrangements for tempo
rary chairman, says he received n
letter from Mr.. Bryan a short time
ago in which the Nebraskan pos
itively asserted he would not accept

him. He did not signify a choice of
the latter.

been given to him without a struggle

governed the committees action In
awarding the empty honor to Judge
Parker, who, besides Bryan. is the
only living former banner-bearer of

Bryan has announced his wish to

slightest opposition to his being made

Nebraska see fit to make him their
