alton b. parker

Alton Brooks Parker (May 14, 1852 May 10, 1926) was an American lawyer and judge and a U.S. presidential candidate in the 1904 elections. Parker was born in Cortland, New York and practiced law in Kingston, New York. He served as a justice of the Supreme Court of New York from 1885 to 1889, and later served as chief judge of New York Court of Appeals from 1897 to 1904. Parker was a protege of conservative Democratic politician David Bennett Hill. Parker resigned as chief judge after receiving the 1904 Democratic Party nomination for the U.S. presidency. Parker was supported by conservative pro-Gold Standard Democrats like former President Grover Cleveland who had been alienated from the party in 1896 and 1900 due to the perceived radicalism of the party's nominee William Jennings Bryan on economic issues. It was hoped that Parker could be acceptable to both factions since he was "sound" on economic issues but had supported Bryan in 1896 as a good party man. These hopes were frustrated however as Parker had little appeal to Bryanites and carried only the Solid South. Division within his party over currency issues and the popularity of incumbent Theodore Roosevelt led to Parker's landslide defeat. Parker, Alton B. Parker, Alton B. Parker, Alton B.
