NEW YORK, Nov. ITO every per-
son that the reception room Of the
Kings County club, in Brooklyn, would
hold Judge Parker made answer to
President Roosevelt.
Characterlzing the presidents state
ment, in effect, as q ninth hour at
tempt to mislead his countrymen, the
Democratic candidate for president de
clared that, instead of a denial of as
sertions made by him, there had only
been an attempt to shift the blame by
declaring that there were Democrat,
as well as Republican trusts.
Then, halted by cheering that for two
minutes threatened the safety of the
building itself, he declared that on this
score, at the outset of the campaign
he had requested tile Democratic man
ayers not to receive directly or indi
rectly any moneyTfrom any trust TO.
campaign or OTHER purposes, conclud
ing with the assertion, 'And they have
informed me that they have FOLLOWED
my wishes"
Citing no specific instance, Judge
Parker reiterated that the trusts of tho
country have contributed lavishly t.
continue the present eRepublican ad
ministration, and for this they Will dc
mand a reward from the administra
ton In a relaxation of the laws or thu
enforcement of the laws.
For the first time in his speeches III
frequently mentioned by name the pres

the origin of the department of labo,
and commerce, it's creation by cor
gress. the purposes for which it was
formed and its powers, and finally tho
connection of Mr.. Cortelyou first Will
the president, then with the depart
ment and afterward as the head of tho
campaign committee, to which the
trusts had been so munificent.
The name or the assertions OF Gov.
ernor Odell were ignored.
Speaking in a small room. Judge Par
ker had better command of his voice
than at any other meeting of the cam
paign. During the twenty-tlree min
utes of his address he was by turns
judicial, calm, earnest and sarcastic.
The sarcasm was most noticeable
when, in commenting on the reply,
itself, he declared amid cheers:
1T Ghe presidents statement ought
to array every honest man on the other
side. 1t contains no criticism of my
assertions. 1t is a plea of confession in
avoidance
Continuing, Judge Parker said;
IF when l had pointed out these
things he had said: Yes, Parker is
right. This is wrong; shall stop. l will
join hands with him in doing this,
then there would not have been the
present emergency. 1t does not mat
ter, after all, so much what man is
president so long as the principles are
true. If he had said that it would
have sounded like the Roosevelt we
once knew"
At another time Judge Parker be-
came sarcastic again. 1t was when he
reached the phrase square deal" H,
asked, when the time comes for it,
what do you think the trusts will con
slider a square deal?"
At the outset of his address, before
unrolling his manuscript, Judge Parker
said:
Ladies and Gentlcmen-In all likeli-
hood this is the last opportunity shall
have to talk to any considerable num-
Der of Democrats in this campaign. 1t
gives me great pleasure to say to you
that the outlook is very promising for
Democratic success. Great work has
been done in this campaign. There was
much of it to be done to Ak the fences /
all over the country, and | am glad to
say to you'now that the party is more
harmonious than ever before
