Washington, Oct. Ex-senator Phil
ander G. Knox. former attorney gen
eraI, tonight issued a statement in
answer to Judge Parker's speech on
trusts and CleveIand's remarks on the
same topic.
rR Speeches Contradictory.
Mr. Knox quotes the remarks on
trusts by both Cleveland and Judge
Parkef made some time ago, and com
pairing these with speeches recently
delivered by them, said they were
contradictory.
Considering Judge Parker's state
ment concerning campaign contribu-
tions by great corporations, Mr..
Knox declared that Judge Parker is
describing precisely and exactly the
sources which give Tammany Hall its
strength and the cutting off of which
| in the present election would remove
every chance of his carrying New
York. There 10 not an honest man in
political life who does not know that
this is the case, and know that Judge
Parker is now seeking to be the ben
eficiary of the very methods which
he affects to denounce."
parkcr's Temerity.
Referring to Judge Parker's deela-
ration that contributions by corpora
irons and trusts mean corruption" and
that corporations making such con
tributions expect through its con
troll OF public officers, executive and
Legislative, to do, something for the
benefit of the corporation or refrain
from doing something to Its injury"
Mr.. Knox expresses surprise that
Parker should have the temerity to
say this when his own intimate as
scciates and supporters, the men who
conducted his campaign for nemina
ton, and who are now conducting the
campaign for his election, represent
these very corporations which he af'
fects to denounoe. or else owe their
political strength solely 70 contribu
tions they have received from them In
the past and expect to receive from
them in the future"
Trusts Supporting Parker.
In this connection Mr.. Knox names
several Democratic leaders including
Belmont, Taggart, Hill, who. he said
zone and all owe their whole power In
politics TO the intimate connection
they have established between the
of corporations and the
of public business" Con.
tinuing. he declared. Judge Parker
was created by them and would never

and has not now one chance Of sue
cess save what they give him.
After quoting the Democratic plat

Knox asks "As Republican con
