 Washington, Oct. a1--The washing Democrat angry by It's extreme partis- anship for the administration but which was always a. trucker to whatever power happened to be in the White House, contained story from q stan correspondent now in New York which is taken to mean an unmistakabfe in. dication of strong tide running Par kerward.
 What The Stars correspondent had to say, along with the fact that The Brooklyn Eagles canvass indicates the election of Judge Parker. has made . mostl marked hange in party aspects here. Since Sunday people have been busy comparing estimates respectively of The New York Herald and The Eagle The Herald last Sundays prospects in dicated the election of the Republican ticket. The Eagle not only announced the indication to be for Parker ..but speaking for itself. declared convic- tion that the Democratic candidates | would be elected. The Eagles system of estimating was by a postal card process | which has proved singinuariy accurate | the last three elections in New York. |, At the last great mayoraltv election | in New York. The Herald predicted Low would be elected. The Eagle. using l its postal card returnes. said that Mc- ECleilan would be elected, and would carry Brooklyn. which nobody believed at the time. The Eagles figures as in former tests. came within a few hum | dreds sof the actural result.
 The Washington stars correspondent today has this from New York: i Demoerntic week 'sThis Is to be Democratic week in 1 the campaign. The political pendu- fnm is likely to swing far over to- I wards the Democratie side within the next four days. Whether 1t will swing I far enough to indicate pemocratia 1 national victory, Is a question to,which i the nemocrHtis managers are hot ready tswhish flie Rspnblican tpanaeeta ent4s 2 z xz .ssaf snk fsy ;. ~ sss sss -1 . f n returned to New York from trip to find a marked change in the out 1 look here. There was undeniable in- | creases in Democratic hope. Among ! the rank and file there was a state of l joy almost hysterical. That condition was traced to the newspaper polls | made by The Brooklyn Eagle and The New York Herald, and which con- | firmed in the minds the thought of which the wish had been the father.

 the temper of theft own followers, and

 I 'TThe week is to be 6 whirlwind fin- ish for the Democrats. Up to this
 morning, when this dispatch was com menced the Republicans have no
 plans for the closing week which are l likely to bring forth a campaign as spectacular as the Democrats.
 Parker's Speeches.
 | judge Parker encouraged by the | outlook. Is to emerge from the soli- | tude of Esopus and so before the peo.
 pla. He will make speeches in New
 gsrsey, New York and Connecticut and | may 20 to Maryland and Indiana. | Praparations are under way for g demonstration In New York which the 1 Democratic managers expect win be a 1 notable ovation. The Republicans seem to have been caught mapping in

 MT. Roosevelt is by no means leav- ing the conduct of the campaign to Chairman Cortelyou and his aides in
 New York. Master of them all, as he 1 is admitted to be. he is using the heads of the departments and all their best advised lieutenants to further his cause. They are far busIer constructing cam paIRn deIiverances than they are at- tending to Government business
 Taft-WriEht Cable.
 The Taft-Wright cable correspond ence, which Judge Parker pointed out
 was A charge against the Government, was In A case In point illustrative of 1 the Roosevelt purpose to use his office holders to promote his campaign. Not l a day now passes but some Depart ment oficial has something to say In attempted refutation of Judge Parker. With all the imputed power of Chair
 man Cortelyou and his corporation al- liancea in New York the seat of the Republican national campaign head quarters 1t Is by no means all or the Republican campaign machinery. The noat nowerfuI part of 1t Is here in Washington.
 Moi within the memory of the old ast ohaervers of Presidential campaigns
 have the departments been so com
 nIetelv made a part of party campaign
 machinery as have the departments
 thia wear under President Roosevelt in
 his campalKn for election. There Is
 not a Cabinet officer who can make
 himself heard in a speech who has not
 hsen sent out on the stump, and there
 is rot A subordinate of any consequence
 who has not been told to get out and
 sbow what he knows that is useful to
 the Roosevelt cause.
 Judge Parker's attacks.
 It is remarked here today that this
 nsculiar waking in administration cir
 clas ia due almost wholly to the viril-
 itv of the attacks of Judge Parker
 vithin the past few days. That the
 Renublicans in office are deeply dis.
 tnrbed is as plain here as the Wash inxton monument. Correspondingly inc Democrats looking on are unusu. T ally elated. Today as the main resort of the sports who bet on elections there was no Roosevelt money to bt
