HAN ALLEN, one of the most public men in New York, and wtention of votiug for Parker, He spoke of Mr. Roosevelt in the follow- ing plain fashion: “He is an independent who 1s sycophantic to power. He isa trust-buster who safeguards trusts and will not ‘run amuck.’ He 1s a hero who never fought a battle. He is a man of truth, whose word 1s not worth a contunental damn,” Colonel Allen preeeded these remarks by saying he had no per- sonal grievance against Roosevelt and that he condemned Inm sole- ly upon his recerd. ‘Phen jump- ing into his subject he sasd: “I do not believe that politi- cally speaking, he has an honest hair in his head. In my jndge- ment there is hardly any length to which he would not go to ad- vance his political ambition.” ++ —_ 4A WORD WITH DEMOCRATS. n gives this adv Every man is responsible for his in- fiuenee, be it smail or great.

Roosevelt bas brought the race fssve i national politics; Parker would remove the race issue from politics.

Roosevelt took into the white house aspirit of war; Judge Parker would substitute for it a spirit of peace. Four years more of Roosevelt would make ceonomicand industrial reforms more ditticult; Judge Parker’s election would clear the issues. Let no @emocrat, by voting against Parker or by refusing to vote, take upon himself responsibility for four years more of Rooseveltism, wees A CONFESSION OF WEAKNESS. One would think, to read the regular Republican organ the: z vbat John Lind instead of dJuhn A. John- son must be the Democratic candidate for governor. For they are all berating Lind in the loudest tones and with the largest type at command. Ac¢ord- jug to their own definition they are “abusing” Lind most unmereifully, and he is entitled to the sympathy: of all Republicans in sonsauiinene Now, Mr. Lind is amply able to take care of himself. He bas been before the people of Minnesota many times and has secured and still retains their entire confidence. He has a record avsolutely clear. He has stood in the full light of publicity and no shadow has ever fallen upon bis name. In this campaign ve has bad thetemerily to oppose the election of Dunn, tha’ is all: and everybody knows by this time that to do this is to expose yourself eo a store of carrion missiles such as noue knows better how todeliver than Mr. Dunn himself, with his copious fiow of language. unless it be that pupil which bas surpassed its teacher, the Minneapolis Tribune. So Mr. Lind js at present the target for many mud batteries. Voliticuliy this would seem to be a [sequent trials of that same head, om way for economic’ | variance with the law.
