Mr. Bonaparte on “gum shoes”
Charles J. Bonaparte comments on how Maryland will vote in the upcoming presidential election between President Roosevelt and judge Alton B. Parker. Bonaparte believes the race will come down to the success of the Democratic managers in manipulating the vote totals and the attitudes of independent Democrats. Bonaparte himself believes that Maryland should vote for Roosevelt, as Parker’s campaign is working with Senator Arthur P. Gorman of Maryland and former New York Governor David B. Hill, and will be beholden to them as his “twin sponsors.” There has been much more natural support for Roosevelt from independent factions than there has been for Parker.
