JUDGE PARKER CHANGES HIS PLANS
Will Go to New York to Arouse Enthusiasm in the
Campaign Editors Advised the Move.

When lie heard that his visit TO
st. Louis was to be tugaed into
stumping tour and that he could not
avoid making speeches from the rear
end Of the train. he changed Ills mind
and said he could not only go 70 st.
Louis, but could make no other trips
until after election,
This change was very disappointing
to the Westerners Chairman Tag.
cart frankly said that he did not I'm,
derstand the kind Of campaign which
made no effort to arouse party spirit,
This induced him to make an effort
to get as many democratic editors
in New York as would accept invita-.
tiono so that they could have chance
to see Judge Parker, hear him talk
and know him personally. When the
editors came they did not conceal
from the candidate their opposition
of the program to keep away from
the people They said that It was OF
the utmost Importance that the peo-
pie get better acquainted with their
choice for the presidency.
Judge Parker has yielded and Will
come to New York, where he will be
accessible to all political workers who.
come to see him. He will remain
here for several weeks. If those who
are in favor of stirring things up have
their own way, he will stay until the
end of the campaign and make talks
in Connecticut and New Jersey, and
possibly elsewhere. In this he has
not yet agreed.

New York, Sept. 10--Judge Parker
will come to New York and make an
extended visit. He is yielding to the
representations of his friends, who
say that the campaign is dragging
and that something should he done
to arouse popular interest. Shortly
after the publication of his letter Of
acceptance he will come here and
make his headquarters at some hotel.
He will not be with the committee
at the Waldorf-Astoria, but Will take
quarters at convenient place, where
he can meet the leaders from the va
rious States.
This departure from his previous
plan is taken to meet the wish OF
many Western visitors who have call
ed upon him at Esopus within the
last ten days. Many of those who
gave him this advice were editors
who went to see him yesterday
The democratic candidate was re.
luctant to make this change in his
program. He has staid Ideas as to
the part which he should take in the
canvass So firm are his convictions
IN this regard that he Cancelled his
engagement to attend the st. Louis
fair and make an address before b
law association, although his visit
there was to he 4of the most informal
character. His Western friends had
induced him to accept the invitation.
They had planned to have him make
stops at Indianapolis md Chicago,
where he was to address political
meetings.
