MIR. PARKER SEES 1T.

The binders have dropped from
the eyes Of the Hon. John NJ
Parker and he now sees things
nationally with a clearer vision.
un New York Thursday when
Mr.. George W. Perkins. the Ma
chiavclli Of the Republican party,
walked up to Mr.. Parker at Del
monico's and offered his hand,
Mr.. Parker refused it, and said
You don't want to shake hands
with me. am going to burn
YOU up in a speech shall deliver
at the Miltmore Saturday. /
want YOU to be there.
Mr.. Perkins didn't accept the
invitation; but Mr.. Parker kept
his promise with blistering
sneech against Roosevelt and
Perkins, and amcng other things
he said:
Fearing Wilson s election,
Roosevelt and Perkins enrolled
as ProVressives so as to dicker
for the Republican Progressive
nomination in 1920.
They enrolled in a party which
they say does not exist. They
know Hughes will be defeated
md Wilson reelected. They
want an anchor to the wind
ward. Roosevelt is after the Re-
publican nomination four years
hence.
We ooncratulate Mr.. Parker
on the fine COURAGE which moves

of his former idol. on the self
abnegation which leads him to ac-
'rnt what The States long ago
,ointed out as the impelling cause
