the necessity of reform and the rescue of the
administration of government from the head-
strong arbitrary and spnntdic methods
which distract business by uncertainty and
pervade the public mind with dread distrust
and perturbation. ' ;

burdened; the prompt and sacred fulfillment
of public and private obligations, including
fidelity to treaties; peace and friendship with
all nations, entangling alliances with' none;

Judge Parker said today that if he did not
resign his position as chief judge of thecourt
of appeals before August 8, his " successor
could pot be elected at the November , elec

have to be filled by appointment by Governor
Odell. The judge would ,not discuss the
matter beyond setting forth the constitutional
point
It is considered more than likely that he
will not resign until after lie is formally
