NEW YORK, Nov. S.-Melvin G.
Palliser. manager of the watson cam

in pursuance of plans agreed upon by
Watson, Bryan and Hearst shortly
after the st. Louis convention, a con-
ference would be held in this city.

formation of a new party on radical
lines.
york American says:
Judge Parker is Overwhelmingly
beaten. The reasons for his defeat are
perfectly plain. Judge Parker SIM
ply failed to inspire the earnest, gem
timely Democratic elements OF his own
party with confidence. They did not
feel that in voting for him they would

And he did not attract Republicans

interests and are ready to come over

August Belmont and other promi-

is it surprising that the masses,
and others who do not class them
selves with the masses. viewed the
sane, safe and conservative pro-
gramme merely as an equally sincere
and foolish endeavor to win the trusts

The ballot demonstrates what con-
struction the people put upon Judge
Parker's denuncia ton OF trusts. 1t is
manifest that they attributed his hos
tiiity TO the trusts to the failure of
the trusts to be friendly TO him: that
they read in his tardy antitrust atti-
tude a complete breakdown Of the
sane. safe and conservative pro-
gramme, a bitter disappointment OF
the expectation that the trusts could
