WATSON PROHIBITION CANDIDATE TALKS FROM THE SHOULDER Says Judge Parker is a Chance Discovery He- Respects President Roosevelt. Chicago, 111., October 12. "I believe that Roosevelt could tie both hands behind him and fun Parker clear out of the ring by just shining his teeth at him." This declration was made by Thomas E. Watson, the people 's party candidate for president, grinning in imitation of the CiVicatures of P'sident Roosevelt to an audience of 1,200 persons at the Populist meeting at Princess ring last night. , Roosevelt, "the man," commanded the admiration of Watson, because he is "square and straightforward in telling the people where he stands," but for Parker the Populist had only the most stinging satire and harsh vituperation. The speaker had his audience with him from the moment he arose to speak until he had fired his parting gun aimed at the head of the Democratic tieket. "Who is this Parker? He is identified with no great speech,- with no great measure, with no great decision even though he be a judge. Parker is a discovery a regular find made by David B. Hill and August Belmont in the somnambulism of political necessity." Watson stopped to smile at his own characterization of , Parker, and his audience laughed with him. " O, what a campaign of humbug is this of Parker's," he said. "Hyr pocrisy and humbug. Why a Prohibition campaign led by , the whisky trust, a crusade against gambling led by Canfield and Tom Taggart, a campaign against corporations led by the Standard Oil, is no more preposterous than this."
