Beaumont, Texts, April 9 —
Colonel R. It. Johnson, editor
Houston Post, Houston, Texts,
Dear Air» For some reason your
piper keeps nagging at me for
not supporting Judge Parker, or
^rather for preferring Hr. Hearst,
as a Democratic candidate for
preetdent. You must recollect
that when you asked me to sup*
port Judge Parker some time
ago 1 had no objection to him
uIf he was sound on the leading
Issues and was a straight Demo*
erat." While you could not
atate positively how he stood,
you seemed confident he was
sound all along tha line. Later
on ‘your correspondent from
Washington made a visit to the
Judge In New York state, and
wrote Interestingly about his
home,his library and family; not
a word did he tell us of his politi*
oal views or convict bars. When
you transferred this same cor-
respondent to Austin, the 29th of
last month, he came to me on the
presidential nomination. ! asked
him how Judge Parker stood on
the Panama question. He said
he did not know. 1 asked him
how he stood on the "endless
chain** question. He said he
did not know. Then 1 asked
him if ths Judge was in favor of
suppressing the trusts. He an*
SWered this question the same
way, arguing that the Judge did
aot discuss politics, as he was on
the bench I Since then the Post
has been criticising me. 1 have
been to New York often; have
mingled with the public men
there; have known of this gen-
tleman long and well, but up to
this data have never been able to
Inara from any source bow he
stands on any public measure.
Doubtless ho Is a nice man, a
goad man and a gentlemao—New
York is full of nice and good
mea—but before 1 support any
man for susb an office 1 want to
kaow hew he stands on import-
ant public questions. The Post

am gotting the more anxious to

the Post wilt get tha Judge to
answer affirmatively the follow-
ing questions, I shall aithar sup-
port him or not oppose him 1
1. is he opposed to ths Repub-
lican colonial policy, borrowed
from England?
2. 1c ha oppoood to tha Clove-
land-Carliolo "Pnanolal endless

waa forced to issue bonds to pro-
cure gold with which to tnke up

3. Is he in favor of submitting
a constitutional amendment to
authorise the collection of nn in-
come tax ?
4. Is he in favor of completing
the Panama canal, under the
present treaty?
6. le he opposed to the Aidrieh
financial bill, whereby the sec-
retary of the treasury is given
authority to accept railroad bonds
instead of government bonds, to
■court government money in the

0. le he opposed to transferring
tha power of the government to
Issue money to the National
banks?
and old-time enthusiasm
If Judge Parker "fills the bill,"
It will not lower his dignity or
diminish his chances of suc-
cess to speak out like a
fearless, free-born American,
capable of leading tha "regular
Democrats" to vi
rictory . Let your
talk. Wa have all
guessed and argued enough.

THK post's ANSWER.
1. "le he oppoeed to the Ro-
pubiican colon1it policy, borrow-
ed from England?** The answer
is found In tho Kansas City plat-
form which Judge Parker indors-
ed with his vote ae truly as Mr.
Hearst or Mr, Hogg indorsed it.
In psssing, it may be remarked
that Mr. Hearst*s papers pro-
nounocdly and vehemently ad-
vocated the permanent retention
of the Philippines. Wu don't
know whether Judge Parker in-
dorsed the act of annexation an
His whola life proves him (neap-
able of such deception.
Thus the questions asked

fession. are either idle or antici-
patoryof the expression of the
national convention which Is yet
several months off.
R. M. Johnston.
Under the able leadership of
8enator Dorman the republicans
of the senate have been foreed
into ordering an investigation of
the post office department. If an
honest probing to the bottom be
had, such a stenoh wound be
raised that the man in the moon
would be forced to hold his nose
when he passed over this coun-
try.

No well posted man who will
tell the truth can deny the fact
that Jim Hogg is the strongest
man, politically, in Texas today.
The peoplw have faith in his
judgment and henesty, and if he
decides to become a candidate,
he will be elected to a certainty.
