PARKER'S
TOUR OF WEST
Candidate Has Not An
nOunced His Plans

Esopus, N. ", Aug. 2s.-No definite
plans have been made for Judge
Parker to visit the west during the
campaign, but It is almost certain
that = speaking tour of some kind
will, ,e arranged. 1t may be that In.
diana will be the only state in the
west where the candidate will speak
though his presence is desired in Ne.
braska, wisconsin, Colorado and Ill
inois as well.
This Is a question which viii be
taken MP at once by the national com
mittee and an early announcement
is expected. It was stated at Rose
mount today that Mayor G. V. Men
zies and John w. Spencer, Of Indiana
had received no answer to their in
vitat.1u > Judge Parker to visit their
state, but it is known too, that he
did not decline. The general impress
sion here is that Judge Parker viii
make several speeches in the wesi
wien he goes to the st. Louis expo
sition. The date for that trip ha'
not been settled but the judge and
Mrs. Parker viii probably leave here
late IN September and remain away
over the first week in October.
