Lenox, Mass., Aug. 1. New
York World: John E. Parsons,
the eminent New York lawyer, de
clared unequivocally todaj that be
will support Judge farter ior pres
ident, and that he will exert his in
fluence to bring about Parker s e-
lection.
Mr. Pais ns fust in from a long
drive over the beautiful Berkshire
region of which Lenox is the cen
tre, showed no hesitation in . ex
plaining his position in the pend
ing campagn. The eminent New
York lawyer attired in a light suit
fnntri rnA nf thnen olH.faohinnfln
black alpaca coats ex-Senator Hen
ry G. Davis so much affects, and
having on his head a comfortable
Panama bat, was sitting on the pi
azza of his splendid country place,
Stoneover, when a World corres
pondent called on him. He seemed
to be in excellent health and spirits
and these facts are interesting in
view 01 bis statement teat be lnvl
tendsto do active work toward the
election Judge Parker.
It has been a dozen years since
the democratic paty has had the
benefit in a national campaign of
the mature advice and - potent as
sistance of Mr. Parsons. . In fact
the eminent New York lawyer has
held himself so aloof from the efforts
of the democratic national mana
gers during the last 12 years that
the impression - has become -quie
general mat flirv-rarsons naa DC-
come a republican. -
I was brought up as a demo-
ocrat," Mr. Parsons eaid as he ush
ered tbe writer into his comfortable
library. "So far as I have bad par
ty associations 1 nave felt that those
associations ought to be with the
democratic party. The difference be
tween tbe democratic party and me
is that I have (tuck to what I have
considered to be tbe principles of
the party and tbe party has not al
ways done so. Furthermore, in so
far as concerns the ordinary ques
lions, and particularly municipal
questions, the point ib often rather
tbe man ibfen the party. So my
reword would vary much according
to the' accidental situation.
"Now comes a time when the
nominee i, according to my judg
ment, an exceptional man for
the position, and the platform,
helped out by what I know of Judge
Parker, makes me feel that it may
be safely accepted. Putting these
two thiogs together, therefore, I felt
that t might 6afely follow my old
allegiance to tbe party and my per
sonal inclination and support my
fiiend the chief judge.
Mr. Parsons through hislong and
active work in New York City re
form movements, and particularly.
through his membership in tbe City
Club, bas enjoyed for years the
same close relation with President
Roosevelt which as one of the con
spicuous leaders of the New York
bar he has enjoyed with Chief
JudgeYarker. In view of this fact
he was asked for hie 1 opinion aB to
the probable result of the election
next November. After a few mo
ments' careful consideration, Mr.
Parsons eaid:
"I have thought that what hap
pened a year ago in the case of
Judge Parker's friend, Judge John
Clinton Gray, illustrates what may
happen in New York state at the
coming election. Judge Gray to
his surprise and somewhat to his
disappointment, was elected, al
though tbe party ticket was defeat
ed. That may very easily have
been due to the esteem in which
Judge Gray Is held by the lawyers
of the state. The same considera
tions apply in the case of Jndge
Parker, so that it has been my o
pinion that he might carry the state
of New York.
N 1-I observe that Mr. Cortelyoa re
cognizes that New York is a doubt
ful state. If New York goes dem
ocratic, I can see no reason why oth
er so called doubtful states may not
also go democratic." .
Mr. Parsons did not specify New
Jersey or Connecticut or Indiana
or other of those states generally
classed as doubtful, but which al
most, without exception, haveg one
as New York has gone in presiden
tial contests. . nut ne eummarizea
his view as to the probable result in
these strong words:
I think, therefore, that Judge
Patker has something better than a
fighting chance. . I recognize fully
the pereanal popularity of President
Roosevelt and the enthusiasm which
his presence creates. It must be
recognized, however, that there are
a considerable pumber of persons of
more or less prominence or influ
ence who differ with Mr. Roosevelt
in respect of a great many matters
with which tbe administration has
to deal. Now comes the possibility
of their voting for a man who in all
respects is satisfactory to them. It
would not at all surprise me if this
was sufficient to enable Judge Par
ker to carry tbe doubtful states, or
enough of them against the present
administration.
r "What I particularly wish to say
is that I and, as I believeall, of his
friends have such confidence in
judge Parker personally, in his
courage, his firmness, his intelli
gence and his capacity as to believe
that he will dominate the party and
protect it against any excentricities
on the part of persons whose names
are conspicuous in the campaign
and whose identification with some
things famishes cause for alarm."
Mr. Parsons made it plain tbat
be does not intend merely to take a
passive part in tbe campaign. He
never has made a practice of sneak
ing at political meetings, but be
will actively woikfor Judge barker
in those directions in which his influ
ence can be made most enective.

has administered a severe defeat to
the Russian forces which defended
the east flank at Liao Yang, win
ning separate actions at Yushulik
zu and Yangee Pass. These two
places are 26 miles apart, but tbe
two actions were fought at tbe same
time. The Russians held strong
positions. Tbe thermometer regis
tered over J.10 degrees Fahrenheit
and the soldiers suffered cruelly
from the heat and exhaustion.
At Yushulikzu the Russians "bad
two divisions of infantry and some
artillery and they resisted the Jap
anese assaults vigorously.
At Yushulikzu the Japanese car
ried the Russian right and left
wings, but on acconnt of the main
strength of the main Russian post
tion they were unable then to press
tbe attack. The two armies rested
Sunday night facing each other.
At dawn Monday the Japanese
resumed tbe attack and by noon
they had dislodged tbe enemy and
driven him four miles toLaoholing.

Chicago, Aug. 3. Homer D.

"The greatest feature of thestrike

1890 to 1900, tbe consolidation of
the meat companies was carried on,
and lrom liUl packing plants in

"Now the tide will set the other

possible to assist in the defeat
