Jasper County Democrat, Volume 7, Number 23, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 September 1904 — Will Support Parker. [ARTICLE]

Will Support Parker.

A. B. See, a prominent elevator man of New York, simply expressed out loud the sentiments of many other Republicans who are saying nothing but doing a lot of hard thinking, when he said: “I never voted a Democratic before, but this year the business interests of the country demand the defeat of Roosevelt. While no one questions his personal integrity, still he is unfortunate in the possession of a rough-riding nature. He is impetuous and explosive, and is regarded by the best Interests in the country as unsafe. If elected president by a vote of confidence, he is not the man to have supreme power at his command.” It is a perfectly natural thing for Democrats of every shade of opinion to be in line for the Democratic nominees. The personality of the two candidates is such that the choice of every conservative man would naturally fall upon Judge Parker, and when there is added to this the marked distinction between principles as enunciated in the two platforms there would seem to be but one choice for a man who has the welfare of his country at heart.
