Esopus, N. Y, July 25.-Former
Senator James K. Jones, of Arkansas;
Senator John w. Daniel. of Virginia,
and Daniel j. Campau, of Michigan,
were callers at Rosemount, the home
of Judge Alton B. Parker, Democratic
candidate for president, today
Neither Senator Jones nor Senator
Daniel, who came here by special in
vitation, had met Judge Parker be-
fore. They left sounding in glowing
terms the praises of the party'S stand
ard bearer. Senator Jones told Judge
Parker that every Democrat who
voted for Mr.. Bryan in 1896 and in
1900 will vote the Democratic ticket
this fall Senator Daniel said that
the franchise plank in the Demo-
cratic platform would make the
South solid for the party and that
this plank also would enable the
party to carry Maryland, West Vir
ginia and Delaware.
a Boom for Campau.
1t was reported today that boom
for Mr.. Campau for the chairmanhip
of the National Committee may be
launched at the National Committee
meeting tomorrow. 1t waa stated by
W
ence with Judge Parker that this sub
ject was not discussed. The name of
former Senator Jones Smith. Jr.. of
New Jersey, was heard also in con-
nection with the craftsmanship.
Few calls have given Judge Parker
so much genuine pleasure as he re-
ceived from the visit of Senators
Jones and Daniel.
The former who managed both of
Mr.. Bryan's campaigns is the repre-
sentative of the Democrats who were
in control of the party conventions
four and eight years ago. Senator
Jones told Judge Parker that the
money question is not an issue in the
campaign, except as it was made a
personal issue by Judge Parker him
self. The fact that there is no money
plank in the platform is satisfactory
to Democrats who favor free silver
and therefore, Senator Jones said,
Judge Parker's position in declaring
for the gold standard is not offensive
to them.
After the conference the visitors
talked with newspaper men while
waiting for their train to New York.
Senator Daniel said'he came to Esopus
prepared to like Judge Parker. He
had supported the judge for the NOM
inatiol and knew great deal about
him. but his great learning and the
clear grasp he has of the business side
Of the campaign to be made this fall
particularly appealed to him.
Jones Won Over.
Senator Jones was not a Parker man
before the convention, but now he
confesses that he is completely won
over and may be counted on for any
service, he can perform in the cam
paign. Speaking of campaigning gen.
orally, Senator Jones said he does not
favor the presidential candidate max
ing a canvass by going on a general
stumping tour. From this it is taken
that the subject of personal campaigns
was one of the topics of the long con-
ference, and that Judge Parker reit-
Grated his objection to presidential
candidates taking the stump. 1t is not
believed that Judge Parker will leave
EoSemount on a speech making trip.
Some promises were made to Judge
Parker of Senator Jones in regard to
the fight that will be made to carry
certain Western States claimed by the
Republicans. Senator Jones said that
If the Democrats in the East and At
lantic States do as we'll as he expected
the Democrats in several of the West
ern States which have been termed
solidly Republican will do, there will
be Democratic triumph in Novem-
Der.
Il do not mean that we will make a
fight for every State" said Senator
Jones. There are some States where
it would be foolish for the Republicans
to spend money in the South, but l
mean the Republicans are not SO sure
OF some States as they profess to be"
Asked whether he had given assur-
9nces to Judge Parker that no silver
Democrat would oppose the ticket
Senator Jones said:
''I did not think that necessary
