Warned the people

In this printed extract of a speech, Alton B. Parker states that the purpose of a previous address was to warn the people about the electorate being corrupted by “tariff-bred trusts and other monopolies” and their political contributions. President Roosevelt did not, in response to this, return the money his campaign received from corporations, and Parker alleges that the contributions to Roosevelt have in fact increased because of the attitude he has taken.

Letter from Alton B. Parker to Elihu Root

Letter from Alton B. Parker to Elihu Root

Judge Parker provides his opinion on James F. Tracey for Secretary of War Root. He points out that Tracey has a very good reputation in the community, but that he does not have much courtroom experience. His reputation in Albany is fair because they do not like lawyers who are not in the courtroom. Although he is a Democrat, Tracey voted for President William McKinley. His wife also has a good reputation and her father was on the King’s Bench in Montreal.
