JUDGE PARKER The editorial party who called upon Judge Parker at his E.-opus summer home, are all aglow with that kind of enthusiasm that sinks deep and lasts long. The greeting extended was truly characteristic of the man and of the party he so bravely leads. Standing six feet two, a handsome spt cimen of physical perfection, wearing an eye that penetrates to your shoe soles and with an expression that is adorned all over with determination, Judge Parker at once takes possession of your best thoughts, and in this case your best efforts. His voice is vigorous and well trained, and while he has not the magnetic traits of a Bryan, yet that sincerity so captivates one that he forgets all else but a renewed

pledge of fidelity to the leader and his cause. The address of thi presidential candidate was perhaps his first political speech in years, < and in that short time be said so i many good things, so many truth- 1 ful things, said them in his vigor- i ous well styled manner that we ■ feel constrained to think it a shame 1 that his tour of speaking can not tie more extended in a contest that personally means so much to him. Could every voter in Adams county m j et him. the verdict would lie a u lanimous conclusion that Judge Parker is one man in the United . States who ought to be president. ( His home is of simplicity and com- ( fort and his family -to and in- < clu ling the red-headed kid—are <

modest, i nassuming und pleasant in the extreme. His eighty-acie farm has a prosperous look and is well kept, confirming previous rep >rts of the thoroughness of the owner—be he farmer, juri-t or citizen. Judge Parker is well informed about the political situation, and in a short conference with the Indiana guests. informed them that New York. New Jersey and Connecticut would register an approval of the dem icrati ■' candidates. His anxiety as to Indiana’s condition was apparent, thus sh wing that he is not idly devoting his time. EASTERN POLITICS

Politics in Ne v York while practiced so different from that in Indi--1 ana yet at this period it can not ■ help but impress the casual obser--1 ver, of the completeness of eastern ' organization, as well as of the earn- ■ estness into which they are now con centrating their forces for a demo1 oratio victory. National headquarters is a busy place, the four | floors of the New Century building being fairly alive with employes, all busy with not a minute to idle away. Nearly two hundred people take care of the business that involves the work of carrying on a national campaign. It is quite a revelation to one unacquainted with the manner and methods evolved in party organization. It is certainly a great business institution and demands great ability to master the details of so great a

work. One appreciative thing to j Indiana callers at headquarters, is the fact that they are shown preference. It is an easy task to reach the inner circles, should you happen to be from Indiana. This comes from the fact that Indiana i.well represented therein, having besides the national chairman a number of other Indianians, all of whom extend the glad hand in true Hoosier style. COMMITTEE HARMONY The republican hasjhad much to say about disaffection in the democratic committee, that the eastern end were making life a burden for Chairman Taggart. This is cut out of whole cloth, with not a par-

t tide of truth to substantiate st ch a claim Personal talks with - August Belmont and W. F. Sheehan deny and refute the charges in every particular. They sp ak highly of Mr. Taggart in e very wav and esjiecially teem pleased and . delighted with his mm igement of i the camptign. Some more dis i affection of this kind is wh.U is needed to make more complete the I democratic victory that is on the way. THE NEWSPAPERS The eastern press ure almost unanimous for the election of Judge Parker. The number and kind of newsp.ip i s that are supporting him I is a tribute that is given to but few men. The New York Herald ■ World, Tinies. Journal, Zeitung. Post. Commercial, Harpers’ Weekly i Puck. Brooklyn Eagle and Citizen with a combined circulation of four million daily are supporting the democratic nominees, and except the Journal, they all supported McKinley in 1896 and 1900. In addition the Baltimore Sun. Herald and News, the Boston Herald. Globe, Traveler and Post, Spring- ( field. Mass.. Republican. Wilmingt >n. Delaware. News. Philadelphia Record and News all supported McKinley and are now supporting ! Parker and Davis. There is not 1 a political German newspiper printed in the United States but 1 what is supporting the democratic 1 national ticket, and they all sup- 1 ported McKinley. The only New ' d ork newspapers that are suporting 1 Roosevelt are the New York Tribune, Press and Sun. < Hear Gen. James B Weaver at 1 the court room Friday evening.
