PARKER A MEJ STAR CHAi Candidate Watson Says ^Democratic Nominee Owes His Nomination ^|Hrap<y to Wall Street Influence. CHICAGO, Oct. 12?Thomas E. ~ "Watson, nominee of the People's party for President, Monday night ad pressed ; an ' audience -which filled I'rincess rink to overflowing. The " policies of both the Republican and ; |fe t,' Democratic parties -..-ore scoicd bitturly-by Mr.; Watson, and his doeiaraIF, tlons received with enthusiasm. Mr. , AVatson spoke in part as. follows: assS^'fT'." " "The- most striking feature of the i I .-present;, campaign is that there was "mitre energy displayed in obtaining 1 nominations than there has been in i i'Sfeeuring elections. In Judge Parker's, i 'campaign, pai-ricuiarly, tlioro was ten ( Stimes;: ;more industry, .' earnestness, < systematic effort put forth in the ef- s fort to have hint, named as head of 1 the -Democratic ticket than is now ' lioing used to-have hiin elected Pres- i Went. How are we to explain it? The ' corporation influence to which Parker < owes his nomination were hell-bent i oil bavins him nominated, but it is a I matter of indifference to them wheth- < sr be be elected of not; Standing on t the kind of platform that he stands < on. controlled by the kind of influence 1 which controls him, his election t would mean the continued existence 1 of the systems just as the election of i Roosevelt would. If Roosevelt be ' elected, the system stands pat. If * Parker is elected the system is not 1 hurt.. In either event corporate wealth wins the ballot. 1 "politically the country is governed on the star chamber system. That Inciter ntmseu is an output 01 this f method of government,' no intelligent man will deny. And the reason why he cannot take any bold step in any possible direction, nor declare himself openly to be opposed to any principle of the Republican party, is that t he dare not offend the star chamber c influences who purchased the editors s ".and the delegates and secured the ij nomination for him. Altogether the ?w campaign is an effort to delude the r - people, a 'confidence game' as P.ry- d -an called it and 'playing with loaded a .dice.' as Bryan called it. "A Prohibition campaign led by the v. ' "Whiskey "trust; a "labor movement, e led by the Bell and Friek and Pea- b fsabods*; a crusade against gambling led i t.i by Ricbard- Can(iold, of New York, | a S and Tom Taggart, of Indiana, would , act he more of a . selfevident and j A . iiiazen attempt to deceive than this j w V Barker campaign, which pretends to | I" -'"Tfieagainst class legislation and at the j C -.sanie xime is Ted and cashed by such ' C "beneficiaries of class legislation as j u Angusi Belmont, the Standard Oil j v'-.Company and kindred corporations ol"; the Wall street sort. "If .'Mr. Bryan had bolted the St. '."Louis convention and called upon Democrats everywhere to rally to his M ' support against Wall street, Parker's j S'i campaign would have died in its birtli. j l? ' Tlte-Belmonts and Gormans, and OI- ! I" nejusand Cievelands would have been j 'i'-drfven Into the. Republican camp, ! i! if ' where the belong. Parker lias not a ' ' sit ghost of a chance to be elected, and the only practical effect of his contin- :n '??>V canaiaacy is to suuiu 111 lae u > sfeljl?; of real opposition to the present sys. .... . A CONTRAST. ^ I?;.;'.; :r ? -p "- . - , ' __ " Kdw ths Negro issue is Being rnrown C: In Our Faces. ''< p'..' . or (:New York Evening Sun.i ((i .It ihe Democratic mass meeting in a a' . " Baltimore on Tuesday night ex-Got. ! Frank Brown charged the President j tli 'v trtih throwing the negro issue in the al faces of the American people. "So- ; ec Ij'j daily and officially." said the ex-gov- i m srnor, "ho has sought to humiliate the j in t, people of the South and what he has j ftt ' etone cannot he swallowed by the : ar hi white men of Maryland. When the ba President of the United States under- j takes to tell you before his election bi that he does not propose to draw any PH | Bsc of distinction as to race, color or j previous condition of servitude, then ; w X f tell you it is time for the blood of j jpS - ' the white men of this country to he-; J ctnne aroused." Senator Rayner also j ^wfiooped things up" for white su- : ? premacy, and used this inflaininahio [ islanguage: "The President may cause ! j ,-n P-Vsreat and serious trouble?be may . ' sow the seeds of discord; he may re] v provoke insurrection; he may rouse ,] the feeling of passion and revenge; ;,]< he may fill the towns and hamlets of sa the South with turbulence and dis- j>r order: he may rekindle the fires of of ~ prejudice and sectional hatred and {]Q cause a <ieadly conflict of the races? y0 hut let me predict to him that he will th never subordinate the intelligence rn; v i and the refinement of the people of ra "S. the South to the rule of barbaric ig- I ; norance and degradation," etc., etc. pa ; Thus the race issue was fairly sic launched in Baltimore, and Senator nit ilBER OF HBER SYSTEM Gorman is, confident it will prove a vote winner. At Boston, on the previous evening, President Eliot, of Harvard University, was a guest at a dinner given in honor of Booker T. Washington by negroes constituting the Men's Forum o'f Cambridge. President Eliot was introduced by the toastmaster with the statement that "for the first time In history a president of Harvard puts his feet; under the mahogany with black mcii." Mr. Eliot, however, corrected 'lie r oast master. "1 have -ai at table with colored men many times in my life/' he said." "f began when, a boy in my father's house at. .he top of Beacon Hill. In nay l/oyioot.1 home I ate with an old colored nan who had been a slave and- had mossed the Canadian line imiro than race. Then I have had the honor to sit with Dr. Washington at the colege table on commencement day. rhere's nothing new in this associaion. Your foastihaster, gentlemen, ivas a bit in error in thinking the conditions of tho meeting had any fovelty to me." So we have another president, the head of the leading educational institution of the country, hrowing the negro issue in the faces if the American people?if cs-Gov. 'rank Brown, of Maryland, speaks :he language of sober wisdom. Mr. Sliot may also be charged with excitng sectional hatred and provoking 'a deadly conflict of the races," if Senator Rayner was not talking like i demagogue. /VAS DIVORCED. BUT DID NOT KNOW IT. drs. Clark Was Surprised to Find a Decree Was Secured Two Years Ago. SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 11.?Up to i wo short months ago Mrs. Agnes 'lark, of Keystone. S. D., thought that ? he had been married for 31) years. 'tit .Mrs. Clark was mistaken. Her . red.ded life had extended over a peiod of but 37 years, as she had been ivorced for two years and was never * ware of the fact. . This rather peculiar state of affairs as brought to light in the county leek's office when Attorney John Alar- i * le, acting for Mrs. Clark, filed a pe- ; -r. .(foil asking the Superior Court to! nnul the divorce which John Clark retired from his wife on June G, 1.90:1. ccprding to Mrs. Clark's deposit Um hich was placed on record with the virion, she was married to John lark in Dakota, in the year "ISO!, lark came to California in ISDS and )lcl his wife when lie left her that bras coining to the Golden State to take a home for them both. As years went by and Mrs. Clark tiled to hear from her husband, sherote to the Pension Department or j 'ashing* on and asked that she be ranted one-half of her husband's snsion, as she had no means of sup >rt. To her surprise she was inform- | 1 by the authorities at Washington Kit her husband had secured a diirco from her ami t.liat they had ! ?en notified not to allow her any oney. That was in .Tilly of this; ?ar. Clark secured his divorce on the ! round of drunkenness and desertion, i his complaint he told how his "wife j id disposed of property worth 1.500 for the ridiculous sum of $600. his. it was alleged, took place while 1 lark was away on a visit and whib | s wife was under the influence of 1 pior. As papers were never served . i Mrs. Clark the case was nor con sted and the husband was granted divorce without any opposition. In her prayer for an annullinenr. of e decree Mrs. Clark denies all the j legations in the original . divorce j implaint; states that she was never! ade aware of the fact that proceed- j gs had been taken against lior. and. rrher. that she is too old to work id should be cared for by her bus ?d.

"Moses. | u know, was slow of speech, and | e Lord selected Aaron as his speech- j tker.
