MORE ABOUT PARKER
Continued from Page Three)


 Jennings Bryan when he ran against Mckinley in 1896, there are many pol itical historians today who agree that Judge Parker himself was responsi. ble for much of the party confusion which, in a large measure, precipi- tated his defeat
 His deep silence through the most critical and trying weeks of the pre- convention roundup, when the nomi- nation. was conceded to be any mans plum, had left his supporters and the platform committee in condition of extreme uncertainty, from which they attempted to emerge without refer ence to the burning currency problem, this time deleted from the platform by Mr. Bryan with as much avidity as he had championed it's inclusion eight years before. Having sailed past the currency derelict, the con- vention next turned its attention to the nomination, for which Judge Par ker and William Randolph Hearst, the publisher, were the chief contenders, On the final ballot Parker received 65S votes against 204 recorded for Hearst.
 Then, as the delegates were prepar- ing to adjourn, occurred one of the most startling events that ever rock ed national convention. Immediate ly upon receiving word that he had been selected to lead the party, Park CT dispatched his famous "gold stand ard" telegram to St. Louis, in which he declared that gold standard of money values was firmly and ire vocably established" therefore he would request the delegates to look elsewhere for a nominee if they did not agree with this view.
 The convention was dumbfounded. The silent" candidate had spoken and in words that could not be mis- construed. A few of the leaders re- tained enough presence of mind to frame nasty reply setting forth that the platform committee had not seen fit to concern itself with the currency plank, hence there was nothing in the candidates views which precluded his acceptance of the nomination.
 This telegram was later described as the greatest voluntary political sself-sacrifce ever made by an Amer ican statesman. When the fateful lines were penned, no one knew bet ter than their author that they would receive only mild support from the disaffected division of the party, whereas they would hopelessly alien ate the radical element, including  many powerful leaders whose sup port was highly essential to the con- duct of a winning fight. Yet he would not 20 before the people on plat form, real or implied, which contain ed measures contrary to his belief, and the telegram was sent with the full conviction that it meant outright reflection of the highest honor within the gift of the nation.
 Alto Brooks Parker was born at Cortland N. Y, May 14, 1852, the son of John Brooks and Harriett F. (Stratton) Parker. His education was obtained in the Cortland Academy, the State Normal School at Cortland, and the Albany Law School, from which he was graduated in 1872 with the degree of LL.B.

Mahan Leads K. of c.
 To Glorious Victory

Captain Mahan of the Knights of Columbus card teams rose to his greatest heights as "45" expert last night in the second and final game of the home and home se- ries between his cohorts and Jim Crowley's Horsemen from St. John the Evangelist church in the East End. With his team trailing in the final minute of play because of the big gains scored by St. Johns team, Mahan came through with num- Der of ''jinxes' and swamped his opponent under terrific score. When the totals for the two nights were counted he had won for his team by the escant margin of three points.
 The East-Enders had the Knights at their mercy last week when they got them in St. Johns parish hall and proceeded to hand them lac- ing, but last night, the doughty warriors of Franklin Square turned on their oppressors of last week land with Mahan playing the role of anchor man." won a we'll earned victory.

Again the trial and it is trial accused of my mothers murder. It is trial of my own courage. and am afraid I have not been able to steel myself enough to face some of the horrible moments in the court room.
 I hope they are finished now with the gruesome testimony about the wounds on poor mothers body. Of course, I have heard very little of that because twice when the doctors were testifying I hurried out.
 didn't want to create any dis turbance by fainting in the court room. But even while I rushed through the cold marble corridors of the little hi. courthouse to my room nearby. could imagine the things they were saying back there. and those things kept beating into my mind.
 Poor mother, what terrible price she paid for her love. Some times think she would have gone on lov- ing Dr. Hall even If she could have foreseen her own terrible death. But T believe she would have denied herself that love if she could have foreseen the suffering it would bring to me. Mother was like that. She would deny herself anything for Brother Danny and me.
 Yesterday was day Of rest for me-. It was a beautiful crisp day and I took a long automobile ride with some frienC;. It was so re- freshing. For a little while. away from the depressing atmosphere of the court, was myself again.
 I stayed in Somerville most of the day. Somehow I couldn't bear to go home to New Brunswick, to the little house that mother left that night never to come back alive.
 heard that the state forces spent yesterday following up new clues which may bring some startling sur prises before many days too. Aside from the secret clues, a woman has written letter to a newspaper say ing she saw the murders. Oh. hope she will come forward and tell her story. I want the whole thing over want to rest.

 REPORTS AWAITED
Statement on Primary Elections
 Ready for Senate

Washington, Nov. 12 R - Out # the welter of gossip as to the probability of the senate seating Ienators-E Elect Ware, of Pennsyl- iania and Smith of Illinois, comes he suggestion that their qualifca- Ions may be passed upon even be- ore they present their credentials t the first session of the roth con- ress next year..
 A report on the republican pri- naries in which Ware and Smith eceived their nominations Is to be hade to the senate at the coming ession by the special committee Fhich has inquired into election hmpaigns in Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana. Washington, Oregon and lrizona.
 Senator Reed, democrat. Mis- puri, chairman. and his colleagues h this committee have not indi- hted what this report will contain, ut in public statements and peeches, the Missourian has de- bounced the practices following pth the Pennsylvania and Illinois Eimaries.
 Whatever may be the recommen- ations of the special committee bere will be determined move to lave the senate act on them at the hort session beginning on Decem- er 6. The senate already Is on ecord in the Newberry case as pndemning the expenditure of as ouch as s196,ooo in a senatorial Urinary or election.
 The seating of Ware and Smith onstitutes only one of several vex- hg problems which leaders of the resent republican majority must Ace at this and the opening ses- ion of the new congress. Attention called, however, that even if fare and Smith are denied seats yhen they present their credentials his would not reduce the number t republicans in the new senate as he governors of Pennsylvania and Illinois are republicans and natural H would appoint republicans to 1l the vacancies.
 There still Is possibility that he Reed committee will investi- hte alleged ballot counting frauds D Philadelphia in the senatorial bntest between Ware and William }.
