speech in the course OF which he said
that when there is evil seen I'm the govern

not so much the fault OF the machine or
the officials, A. primarily due to the in

one could be considered as approachable
for corrupt purposes.
After paying an eloquent tribute TO Gov.

he concluded as follows "1 want to say

~ against President Roosevelt.
1t may be regarded rs strange that
the "high finance" should support q
democratic candidate, in view Of the
things that democracy stands for,
for instance, with respect to the tar
in. It is only at first sight, how
ever, that this seems strange, for the
fact is that no matter who is presi
dent there is very little chance for
radical action by the house or senate
for some time to come. The repub-
lican majority in the senate will take
a considerable time to destroy, and
besides, 30 far as tariff is concerned
the chances are that it will not be-
come very active issue in the very
near future. The currency question
is all right, and, with the tariff and
currency removed from the sphere Of
practical politics, it matters very
little to the "high finance" whether
the president is democrat or re-
publican, therefore they can safely
support Judge Parker as against Mr..
Roosevelt because the democratic
administration il it secures the reins
can accomplish very little for some
time to come.
1t Is safe to say that while Wall
street will contribute to the cam
paign fund of both political parties
this year, the largest share Of cam
paign money will 60 to Judge Par
ker. Very confident assertions arc
made by local democratic politicians
that there will be any amount Of
STANDARD Oil" money for Judge
Parker. The hatred Of the "high
finance" for President Roosevelt is
undiminished and, indeed, rather re-
freshed by the hope Of defeating
him. He is unforgiven, because be
is unrepentant. 1t is still in Wall
street as it was in February, 1908,
