EXPOUNDS BATTLE SOUND DOCTRINE Secretary Wilson Addreaaea Republl-can- a of Vermont, Giving True Light Upon Democratic of Roosevelt. mm Llndonvllle.Vt., Aug. 81. In addressing a Republican rally here tonight, Secretary Wilson said: The Republican party wanta honest money and said ao in Its platform; the Democratic party by a vote of more than two to one in its committee on resolutions refused to eay a word in favor of sound money. The American people are alow to believe that Judge Parker perpetrated a trick upon the 8t. Louia convention by securing the a vote and nomination before saying a word with reference to the gold standard, but people will have opinions and Judge Parker is very close to Ur. Hill, who delltierately misrepresented the facta when, in a speech delivered a few days ago, called President Roosevelt a fraud. saying that Roosevelt had promised on taking the oath of office at Buffalo not to be a candidate In 1904. Now, Mr. Hill waa not present on that occasion, but I was, and seven or eight gentlemen who are at til living were present, and we know that President Roosevelt made no such promise. Judge Parker's utter immunity from tricks would go down with the people all the better If he were not ao intimate with Former Senator Hill."
