8 1 Lou la. July . Judge Parker's
messag on tha gold standard plank
proved a veritable bombshell to the
delegates. Some idea of thi may be
gained from th following Interviews:
M. F. Marphy, South Dakota delega
tion If Judge Parker does not agree
With th platform of his party let him
decline th nomination. South Dakota
refused to " support him for th vary
reason that hi views were unknown
and that some such condition as this
might arise, South Dakota Democrats
he disrobed. Every garment Was where
he had been accustomed to place It,
even his shoes standing at the foot of
the bed. Taking these things Into con
sideration Mr. Kennedy says there I no
doubt In his mind that th unfortunate
max arose in his sleep snd fell over
board, Kenned y - la also -of -the opinion
that th sleeper never woke after strik
