JUDGE PARKER,S STATEMENTS
Before PRESIDENTS Reply.

Cortelyou's chief duty has been.
and still is, to collect funds for
purpose Of securing election Of the
President,
1t is notorious that there has re-
suited from organized Importantly
an overlooking treasury to the
committee. of which boast is
openly and continually made.
We do not need and ought not
to have a modern iuquisitOr who
exploits corporations to collect
money for corrupting the fran
chise, or capturing the electoral
vote Of pivotal States.
We do not want a Department
of Commerce and Labor whose
Secretary shall go out from it
every four years, after he had
filled his brain and his notebooks
with secrets of great corporations
in order not TO serve the people.
but 10 raise money to corrupt
them.
Our people do not want a depart
ment TO send sJatisticiaIs, at ex-
pense of the Government, into the
service of a great political COM
mittee, in order to put forth doc
tored statistics.

After President s Reply.

If he had said Parker is right"
it would have sounded like the
Roosevelt we once knew.
In coupling the Democratic
campaign fund with the Republi-
can the President attempted so to
associate the two that a denial
OF his assertion could not be made
without implication Of the Dem
ocratic committee.
If there had been no trust con-
tributions he could easily have
said so. He did not say SO. He
cannot say so.
He has waited until the closing
hour of the campaign to make
easier the answer. But it is not
an answer. 1t IS a confession
with a plea in avoidance.
The Presidents argument and
his position seem TO justify trust
contributions, and the inference
he would have as draw from his
utterances is that contributions
have been made by trusts to the
Democratic National Committee.
