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.

Frank Brown charged the President j tli
'v trtih throwing the negro issue in the al

srnor, "ho has sought to humiliate the j in

^wfiooped things up" for white su- :

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
