The Judge Says Roosevelt's Manifesto Is Misleading.
NOTRUSTMONEYIN IN DEMOCRATICFUND
Democratic Candidate Said That Great Issue Was Not Who Was Elected, but That Elections
 Should He Honest.

NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-To every per son that the reception room of the Kings County club, in Brooklyn, would hold Judge Parker made answer to President Roosevelt.
 Characterizing the presidents state ment, in effect, as ninth hour at- tempt to mislead his countrymen, the Democratic candidate for president de- clared that, instead of a denial of as- sertions made by him, there had only been an attempt to shift the blame by declaring that there were Democratic ms well as Republican trusts.
 Then, halted by cheering that for two minutes threatened the safety of the building itself, he declared that on this score, at the outset of the campaign, he had requested the Democratic man. agers not to receive directly or indi- Fectly any money from any trust for campaign or other purposes, conclud- ing with the assertion, And they have informed me that they have followed my wishes"
 Citing no specific instance, Judge Parker reiterated that the trusts of the country have contributed lavishly to continue the present Republican ad- ministration, and for this they will de- mand a reward from the administra-' tion in a relaxation of the laws or the enforcement of the laws.
 For the first time in his speeches he frequently mentioned by name the pres ident and George B. Cortelyou, Repub- lican national chairman, as he traced the origin of the department of labor and commerce, its creation by con- gress, the purposes for which it was formed and its powers, and finally the connection of MT. Cortelyou first with the president, then with the depart n1ent and afterward as the head of the campaign committee, to which the trusts had been so munifcent
 The name or the assertions of Gov ernor Odell were ignored.
 Speaking in small room, Judge Par ker had better command of his voice than at any other meeting of the cam paign. During the twenty three min utes of his address he was by turns judicial, calm, earnest and sarcastic. The sarcasm was most noticeable when, in commenting on the reply itself, he declared amid cheers:
 ''It (the presidents statement) ought to array every honest man on the other side. It contains no criticism of my assertions. It is plea of confession in avoidance"
 Continuing, Judge Parker said:
 Eff when I had pointed out these things he had said: Yes, Parker is right. This is wrong; shall stop., will join hands with him in doing this,' then there would not have been the present emergency. It does not mat ter, after all, so much what man is president so long as the principles are true. If he had said that it would have sounded like the Roosevelt we once knew"
 At another time Judge Parker be- came sarcastic again. It was when he reached the phrase square deal" He asked, "When the time comes for it, what do you think the trusts will con- sider square deal?'"
 At the outset of his address, before unrolling his manuscript, Judge Parker said:
 Ladies and Gentlemen-In all likeli- hood this is the last opportunity shall have to talk to any considerable num- Der of Democrats in this campaign. It gives me great pleasure to say to you that the outlook is very promising for Democratic success. Great work has been done in this campaign. There was much of it to be done to fix the fences all over the country, and am glad to say to you now that the party is more harmonious than ever before"
