Alton B. Parker
Is the Wrong Man.

Alton b. Parker for temporary chair
man of the Democratic national con-
vention is the worst move the Demo
there is not ripple of discord on tle
sea. What reason is there that the
worst defeated Democrat since the
days of Greedy, a lame duck of the
minority wing of the party and one
who is not in accord with the senti-
ment of the party. should be selected
to preside over the Democratic con-
vention?
This is the time when judgment
should be used. Reactionary leaders
have cried aloud for Bryan not to
show his hand and at the very first
opportunity attempt to do the very
thing they know he will not stand for
and w.IichNis obnoxious to the party.
Any one OF fifty or more Democrats
could have been suggested for the po-
sition and there would have been no
objection from either wing of the
party, but this they would not do.
They evidently want to create discord
in the very beginning. changing what
promised to be most harmonious con-
vention into a factional fight to the
hurt of the Democratic party.
What has Parker done to deserve
the honor? Because he led the party
to humiliating defeat is no reason he
should be brought into prominence.
He has not interested himself in the
party's welfare and has like many
other reactionaries, held the party
back.
Judge Parker and his friends are
making serious mistake in attempt
ing to push him forward when the
party has an opportunity of electing
the man it dominates. The leaders
and the delegates ought to get together
and demand that candidate accept
able to both factions is made tempo
rary chairman. Parker is possibly the
worst one in the entire party for the
position.

The Split Republican Party
And the Democratic Chance.

Refreshing is the news which came
from Chicago last night telling of the
domination of President Taft by the
Republican party and the withdrawal
OF Colonel Roosevelt and his followers
from the convention to hold meeting
10 their own at which they nominated
The former president.
The steam-roller worked without a
slip. Every detail of the machine was
looked after months before the conven-
-ion met and there was nothing to do
hut turn on the steam and 1t rolled.
Roosevelt never had a chance even
though he was entitled to the nomina-
'tion. He. however. has no right to
complain for it was he who built the
Eteam-roller which ruthlessly rolled
over him
