Opportunity Seized. Says Parker.
Judge Parker in notifying Gov. Mar
shall of his nomination for Vice Presi
dent. said in part:
The faithful sons Of democracy, proud
OF the history OF their party covering Z
half century of federal administration
welcomed at Baltimore the opportunit,
| to substitute practice for preaching ant
performance for promise
/ Indeed, they seized il by the nomina

with SO firm a grip tina. 1t cannot b'

publicanism or by the deluded people wht

! not for the Lord. That his contrary pre-
tense is with the hope that he will thu
secure the aid of the Lords hosts 70
| a third term, contrary. to the unwrittel

his pledge to the people to obey that law
| ..The method by which the democratic
| convention seized their opportunity is 81
simple and straightforward that ii at one
captures confidence and arouses enthu

nominating for President and Vice Presi
dent men whose records as governor!

show that they know how TO create ant
apply needed governmental remedies, ant
whose lives give abundant surety that thu
pledges of their party and their owl
promises to the people will be faithful,

even to the most cautious observer to b'
already assured. What remains to b'
done is to make SO clear the necessity o.
| this election that there shall follow not
bare, but an overwhelming majority fol
Wilson and Marshall in the electoral col
lege."
Takes Wilson's Speech as Text.
Judge Parker took his text from Gov
Wilson's notification speech. wherein I:
considered the partnership between gov
ernment and privilege. His method o
treatment was to declare:
The fact of the partnership and the re
sulting public injury.
That the republican party was solel,
responsible for the inauguration Of tn
partnership relations. instancing the tarif
and combinations To restrain trade ant
prevent competition as the illustrations.
That neither the republican nor th'
progressive party could be trusted K
break up the partnership.
That the democratic party could be re
lied upon TO accomplish that result
Marshall Attacks Republicans.
Gov. Marshall. in his speech Of ac-
ceptance, attacked the republican
party on the ground that il had fos-
tered special privileve to the point OF
toll 3c%i Y
theory if not in conduct. In this con-
nection. he said
t'It is idle for a thoughtful man IN
America. whether millionaire or pau
per. to longer play the ostrich Safet,
does not consist in hiding ones head
In the sands of either sentiment OF
hope. 1t is foolish for the vastly rich
to keep on insisting that more and
more shall be added to their riches
through a specious system or speclal
legislation ostensibly enacted to run
the government, In realty eHdcleu ~
loot the people.
1T is worse than ignorance for
them to smile at the large body or In
telIigent Americans who regard them
selves as fortunate il the debit and
credit accounts of life balance at the
end of the year, and to assume tna'
the mighty many who are becoming
convinced that that social system that
call democracy Is put SilltSIiHS
generality, will long endure the indus
trial slavery being produced.
Men Becoming Socialistic.
whether voting the ticket or not, men
everywhere. looking upon the awful in
Justice of this economic system, are be-
coming socialistic in theory, if not in
conduct.
And shall any fair-minded man say
that if it rebounds to the interests of the
people of this country that hundred
men shall control its business to the good
of every one. that there is anything fala-
cious in the theory that government. In
stead of transferring business TO a IA
vored few for the benefit of all, should
itself discharge that business for the
benefit Of all
Il do not hesitate to say that If ii be
impossible to restore this republic to its
