Judge Parker.

New York, Nov. 5.-The democratic
presidential nominee spent most of the
day in his room, at the Hotel Seville.
preparing the answer he will make in
Brooklyn tonight to President Roose-
velts denial of his charges Of republican
campaign graft Visiting democratic
delegation at the Seville today declare
that President Roosevelt sudden answer
to the charges of campaign frauds is a
practical confession that this is the para
mount issue in the campaign, and was
animated by fear that the repeated itera-
ton of them was making Roadway
throughout the country. Judge Parker's
reply tonight, before the Kings County
Democratic Club, will probably refer to
the fact that President Roosevelt does
not deny the receipt of funds from the
trusts, contenting hi nself with the in.
situation that the democratic campaign
fund was similarly larded and merely
denouncing the accusation of black mail.
1t is said at the Seville that President
Rooseyelts statement of last night was
forseen by Judge Parker, when he first
put forth the charges, and that the latter
was prepared for such a denial. In all
probability sarcastic reference to
President Roosevelts comment of
Square deal'' will be one of the strik-
ing points of the judges peroration
He may take occasion in the same speech
to reply to Governor OdelPs charge that
he was interested in the shipbuilGing
trust, while writing court OF appeals
decisions in the shipbuilding suits.
Judge Parker will remain in Brook,
tonight, returning to Esopus tOmorrur.

Mr.. Roosevelt's Reply.

President Roosevelt issued statement
from the White House last night deny
ing the oft repeated charge made by
Judge Parker that campaign funds we're
wrested from the trusts and big corpora
tions By species of blackmail. Mr..
Roosevelt says he chose Mr.. Cortelyou
as chairman after having failed to secure
either Mr.. Root, Mr.. Crane or Mr.. Bliss.
As between Cortelyou and Chairman
Taggart, of the democratic committee,
he leaves the public to judge who is the
better man. He concludes his statement
by saving: "The statements made by
Mr.. Parker are unqualifiedly and afro
ciously false"
The statement issued by President ROOSe-
welt in Washington and the speech Of Cover
nor Odell, in New York last night, in which
the governor made certain charges against the
democratic candidate for President were
shown 10 Judge Parker at a late hour. The
Judge had decided not TO make any more
speeches during this campaign, but after read.
ing the Presidents statement and the govern
ors speech, he announced that he would make
a reply, which will be delivered before The
Kings County Democratic Club tonight
Judge Parker would make no comment on
the statement and speech last night.

Evidently the sailor hat is to have q

The new lowered sash ribbons are
used for making waists, many of
which are sumptuous garments.
The coming spring and summer are
to be distinguished for color. The all

Spangied robes promise to be ex

are seen.
The touch of color is apparent every
where. Nearly all the new laces and
many embroideries, when they are not
varied with pastel or light tones of
blue, pink, mauve. etc. show different
shades of white.
Embroidered linen shirt waist suits
are tempting. Some of these come
with hand tucked skirts, the embroid-
cry forming panels between the groups
of tucking. The blouses have tucks for
fullness and embroidered bands, cuffs
and stocks.-New York Post.
