NOTABLE CONVERTS Many Heretofore Prominent Independents Declare For Parker J and Davis. t Theodore Cox, president of the New York State League of Republican Clubs in 1900 and 1902. the Republican candidate for congress in the ■Ninth district in 1900, a delegate to the Republican state conventions in 1898 ■ ka 1900 and president of the Republican College League in 1894-5. has come out in an open letter in support of Judge Parker for the presidency. He says that Parker’s career shows that he is not a "poser” like Roosevelt, and that his speech in response to the notification committee reveals a safe man. who, if elected, will give the country an administration whose purpose will be a continuance of the steady growth that has gradually and surely, and not by any fire-cracker war in Cuba, brought this country to its present position, and not simply tease the great colossus into roaring so that *he wondering world may bear a "Roosevelt” or a "Parker” in the rumbles. William G. Choate, lifelong Republican. brother of Joseph H. Choate, ambassador to Great Britain, head of the noted law firm of which the ambassador is a member, and a former president of the New York Bar Association, has made known to his friends that he cannot support President Roosevelt for election. For re’®o--s of delicacy growing out of his brother’s official position under a R°' I ’’blican administration Mr. Choate will not mak D any formal announcement of his position. or take any prominent part in the campaign. He has. however, inidcated to his personal friends privately that he has the strongest of convictions on the subject of what he regards as the disregard of the constitution by President Roosevelt, and believes that all unhnlders of the constitution should support Judge Parker. Denounc’ng the imperialistic policy cf the president. William Morton Grinnell, a prominent Republican and a nephew of Levi P. Morton, declared that he would vote for Judge Parker. "My decision.” sa’d Mr. Grinnell, "has been reached after much thought on the subject. The president may be all very well in his place, but I think that he would do better as a Viking in the Ninth century than as the ruler of this country. His acts have gone beyond the bounds of law. and in many cases he has fomented class and race hatred by his policies.” General E. A. McAlpin, former treasurer of I"’® Republican State Central Committee of New York, president of the Republican National League and a member of the Republican and Union League clubs, has made known his determination not to support President Roosevelt He believes that the ten-

ancies of tne president's administration are all radical and therefore dangerous. and he cannot conscientiously support such an administration. His announcement is another sign of the drift of Republican thought toward constitutionalism as opposed to imperialism. He taxes his place with such men as William G. Choate, a brother of the present ambassador to the Court of St. James: Albert B. Boardman and others who had for years followed the standards of the Republican party. George G. Boutwell of Groton, Mass., one of the founders of the Republican party, secretary of the treasury under President Grant; governor. United States senator and representative in congress rrom his state, is for Judge Parker for president. He gives these reasons for his preference: “I am with the Democratic party because I have made a distinct decision in regard to the Philippine policy, and whatever may happen in regard to domestic affairs, nothing can be so unfortunate as this transformation from a republic to an empire. Therefore I do not concern myself about what the Democratic party may do, but I am satisfied that they will not sacrifice the honor of the nation by leaving a great opportunity.” Joseph Pulitzer, editor of the New York World, has addressed an open letter to President Roosevelt in which he reviews the record made by the president since McKinley’s death. He points out that Roosevelt has abandoned the policies of the founders of the government, and concludes as follows: “What that record is has been partially set forth in this entirely inadequate and hasty outline, limited exclusively to your foreign policy—foreign indeed to all the inspiring traditions of true Americanism. Foreign indeed to all the noble lessons taught in American history. Foreign indeed to the highest aspirations and teachings of all American presidents from Washington to Lincoln. I fear. I feel, my failure to convince your military mind by any reasoning I may have presented but I have at least submitted to your consideration —for your reconsideration —some thirty examples of your own extraordinary language in the highest offices of the republic—language, if you please, not only representing and committing the republic, but teaching to the nation your standards of physical against moral courage—standards of public morality and national aspiration. "Was there ever language so intemperate, so extravagant, so unprecedented. so undignified, so inflammatory, so warlike and so dangerous to the people and to their peace delivered by any president or chief magistrate of the United States or any civilized country in the world before?” Miss Sharpe—l celebrate my twenty fourth birthday tomorrow. Miss Oldage—lndeed! And—isn’t it singular?— so do I. Miss Sharpe—Ot, but I cel» brate mine for the first time.

More “Pr-jsperlty.” Residents of Pullman, the "model” suburb of Chicago, are having trouble. Os 7,000 heads of families who work in the carshons. the town’s sole industry. only a few still are on the pay-roll. It is estimated that more than 3,000 workmen are idle. It is feared that the shops soon will close indefinitely. “The trouble is that we are paying higher wages than other car companies with which we are brought into competition.” said one official of the company, “and a reduction seems inevitable.” The foregoing is a sample of what | is going on the country over in a greater or less degree according to locality and industry, and yet the Republicans insist that this is a time of great prosperity. But when the Pullman employes’ wages are reduced, who Is going to reduce for them the cost of living? A Boy’s Wild Ride for Life, With family around expecting him to die, and a son riding for life eighteen miles to get Dr. King’s New Discovery for consumption, coughs and colds, W. H. Brown, of Leesville. Ind., endured death’s agonies from asthma, but this wonderful medicine gave instant relief and soon cured him.

Speakers may awaken enthusiasm, devotion to principles may inspire desire for success and wrongs, long borne by a people, may incite distrust of and resentment against the party in power, but these things all go for naught in a campaign unless they find expression in a compact organization which is designed to bring out the entire vote of the party on election day. Such a work cannot be begun too early or be prosecuted with too much vigor. The expectation that every man will come out and vote is often disappointing, and nothing is more comr. on than for party managers to find the vote falling off on election day and be wholly unable to account for the slump. The effective remedy against such a condition is organization —an organization that will impress upon every Democrat the fact that his vote is necessary to success. The best way to do this is to hold precinct meetings from time to time, encourage the voters to attend them and allot to each some particular part in the work of the campaign. Votes are made among the thinking, discriminating class, not on election day, but during the earlier stages of the campaign, and it is in heart-to-heart talks, such as would come from neighborhood meetings, that Democrats could be most sensibly impressed •with the necessity for each to bear some part in the work of the campaign. The State Central Committee expects to supply speakers for all localities and there ■will be a liberal distribution of literature bearing upon the issues, but outside of these and more effective than these, will be the organizations which can be perfected in precincts or neighborhoods if active Democrats will take hold of the work. Let the effort be made now in every precinct in this county. The party is united, the Republicans are on the defensive, and organization—systematic, earnest, effective —is only wanting to assure success. DO IT TODAY. The time-worn injunction, “Never put off ’till tomorrow what you can do today,” is now generally pre sentedin this form: “Do it today!” That is the terse advice,; we want tc give you about that hacking cough or demoralizing cold with which you have been struggling for several days, perhaps weeks. Take some reliable remedy for it today—and let the remedy be Dr. Boschee’s German Syrup, which has been in use for over thirty-five years. A few doses of it will undoubtedly relieve your oough or cold and its continued use will cure you completely. No matter how deep-seated your oough, even if dread consumption has attacked your lungs, German Syrnp will surely effect a cure—as it has done before in thousands of apparenly hopeless cases of lung trouble.
