IN DOUBT NOW
JUDGE PARKER'S FAMOUS
TELEGRAM AND ITS
EFFECT.
Said to Have Mads New York. Illi
nois, Wisconsin .. and Other
States Doubtful Bryan
WiM Support the
ticket.
Washington, Jul? 11. Almo3t
without exception eastern papers
today express the opinion that Par
ker's telegram on Saturday gives the
democrats some chance of suc
cess in the - election - this year,
whereas, had that telegram not
been sent, and Parker had entered
the campaign on the platform a
dopted at St. Louie, Roosevelt would
have had a walkover. It is admit
ted that Parker's declaration for
the gold standard has strengthened
"-Ihini in the East, ' bat destroyed his
chances of carryibg the Western
states. It ia likewise admitted that
he will draw back Into the party
many gold 'democrats who could
not stand for Bryan and 16 to 1,
though the oarty at large is - evi
denced by the action of the conven
tion, even yet reluses to repudiate
the Chicago and Kansas City plat
form. "
Parker's action is declared to
make New York a probable fight
ing ground, and placing Indiana, i
Illinois and Wisconsin-in tbe sec
ond place. At the same time tbe
nomination of 1 Davis as 1 Parker's
running mate makes democratic!
success in West Virginia quite prob
able, and poesibiy will make Mary
land again in the democratic col
umn. It is apparent that Davis was
selected because of - his enormous
wealth, because the party ' had to
have some source of campaign funds.
.New York papers today ' freely
comment upon the fact that Par
ker's telegram was Bent to Sheehan
and not to Hill. . They interpret
this to mean Parker has shaken off
Hill, and will insist the campaign
will be conducted throughout in a
straight forward manner.
' Lincoln, Neb., July 12. W. J.
Bryan today gave out the following
statement: ,
"I shall vote for Parker and Da
vis, the nominees of the democratic
national convention, and shall do
bo for the following reasons;
"First Because the democratic
ticket stands for opposition to im
perialism, while the republican tick
et Etneds for an imperialistic poli
cy. On this q aet tion, w hich wss
tbe paramount issue uf 1900, and
which must remain an important
issue so long as as an attempt is
made to hold colonies under tbe
American flag on this issue tbe
sod mention was unanimous, the
pin form emphatic, and I have no
don t that the candidate will carry
ou' the platform.
'.Second Mr. Roosevelt is inject
ing tbs race issue into American
pou. ice, and this issue, if it becomes
net nal, will make it impossible
to V nsider questions that demand
solution. The election of tbe dem
ocra ic ticket will put a quietus on
this subject. s h --:
"Third -Mr. ' Kooseveit stands
for the spirit of war. His friends
preeent him as a mao of blood and
iron; He believes in strenuousness
and inculcates a love for warlike
things. Tbe democratic ''ticket
stands for peace, for reason, and for
arbitration rather than tor force,
conquest and bluster. -
"Fourth Tha democratic plat
form declares in favor of the redac
tion of the standing army, and as
this plank was unanimously adopt
ed, there is reason to believe a dem
ocratic statement on this - subject
would bring some advantage to the
people. For these reasons, I feel

TROUBLES :
P "I find Thedford's Blaek-Drxngbt
, a good medicine for liver disease. 1
It cored my pon after he had a Dent 11
$100 with doctors. It is all the med-
MABTIN, Farkersbuig, W. Va.
If yonr liver does not act reg-
ularly go to yonr drnsrsrist and
- secure apackage of Thedford's
Black-Drsheht and take a dose -tonight.
This great family
medicine frees the constipated -
- bowels, stirs up the torpid liver
and causes a healthy secretion
of bile.
Thedford's Black - Draught :
will cleanse the bowels of im
purities and strengthen the kid-
; neys. A torpid liver invites i
colds, biliousness, chills and
fever and all manner of sick-
, sees and contagion. Weak kid- v
neys result inBright's disease,
which claims as many victims ,
as consumption. .- A 25-cent
package of Thedford's Black
Draught should always be kept .
- in the house. .
"I used Thedford's Black
Draught for liver and kidney com
plaints and fonnd nothing to excel "
it." WILLIAM COFFMAN. Mar
