PARKER ON THE ELECTION.
A Bryan Victory Would Have Been
For Country.
SOME FAIR TALK
FROM PRESIDENT ELECT WIL
LIAM H. TAFT.
THE CRUEL CLAN
That Tennessee’s Military Power
—— r-, 1- —
is Now Rounding Up. -
Washington, Mov. 5.—“WhWe 1
believe that Ju ige Taft will ably and
(‘onsclentloufly perform the duties
of th* Presidency. I am neverthe
less of the opinion that- the election
af Mr. Bryan would have been far
better for the country,” shid Judge*
Alton B. Parker, of New York, the
'lemocratic nomine; for President
in 1904, in a statement issued here
last night. ‘ •«
“While we are greatly disappoint
ed, we should not be discouraged. It
s apparent as we scrutinize the
source and volume of the support of
he assistant Republican parties, viz.
he Populist and Independent par
ies. that thd" Democratic party must
-onttnue to be onj of the two grea>
parties.
"Now for the first time in years,

"we have a united party. Once ^gain
'here Is a disposition among iy
v\*miburs ta, reasen -.tog 'tl\pr a n f’
work together for the public good
We should, therefore, cbngratulatf
Mr. Bryan and ourselves upon thh
improvement of general party con
Htions und:r his candidacy and se*
ourselves resolutely to the strength
•mlng of the party for the contest:
ofAhe future. _
But We Fear It Will Amount to
Nothing I tactically When He Be
comes President.
Cincinnati, O., November 5.—
Speaking to the Cincinnati Commer-
vial Club, where he has beeu a mem-
ber'for fourteen years, William How
ard Taft tonight sounded the keynote
of prosperity for the county for the
next four years.
"Every business man who Is obey
ing the law may go ahead with a.I
the energy in his possession, every
enterprise which is within the stat
utes may proceed without fear of In
terference from the Administration
when acting legally, but a-H inter.sis
within the jurisdiction of the FeiL
eral Government may expect a rigid
enforcement of the laws agalpSt di i-
houest methods,” was the keynot >
of what Mr. Taft said.
The speech which Mr. Taft de
livered here tonight created a pro
found impression among the business
men of the city who are members
of fhe club. The speech was pre
ceded by expressions of frlendshli
and n.ighborly felicitation on UK'
part of the distinguished guest, an
was responded to with the greatest
enthusiasm. _ A..-
"Seriously," Judge Taft declared,
“the indications are already appar
ent, and ths hopes which I entertain
are that the business .communities
and the investors of both foreign
nations and among our people wil.
take heart in carrying ou*-4he great
enterprises which have been protect
ed, and must be carried to'a con
-elusion ilt-the country is to reach it.-
full need of prosperity and busine.-.-
ittending.
“Business men are to be shown th
lines of legality, and are to be dl
reeled in keeping with these line.--,
which have been emphasized durin ,
the last four years. Business men
shall know that they are to conform
to the laws upon the statute-book?
and that no favors are to be expect
ed for. these who br ak the laws.
“Tills shall be so that the nun wh.
cdhducl ft legitimate buMnews n»v
understand that fhe Government i>
bark of them and d ws not iateni
to do anything to Intcffer; with t'u'j
legitimate advancement.’’
After the applause which met he
declaration had subsided. Judge Tuf
added:
J’lt i? a question of the d fini^
knowledge of the statutes and of
their clear understanding which i-ha.l
make the honest progress of our bif^
Iness possible. And that is, in ni*
belief, all that is necessary to mak
that, progress- substan \lal and en
during.’’
Judge Taft.apologized for dlrec*-
Ing his words into sucu a serious dis
course. —sr —

Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 7.—Dead
men tell no tales.
Neither do the oath-bound mem-

men who took their obligation In

and signed their names in dripping
blood, jsrbile about them the stillnes-
of a night as dark as Erebus was bro

heron or the loud too-hoo of the
swamp owl. , ^
But the terrible secrets of th:
fierce clan are being given up—and
by the living. Lips- that have beci
sealed/ through fear of k d ath,
through fear pf the silent riding
biftad of masked men and horses with
muffled feet; lips that have feared
the oaths, the threats of the mid
night assassin, the noose, the swing

The bloody rule of tire night riders
