How Judge Parker Took His Defeat

Judge Parker conceded the election of
President Roosevelt at $3.50 p. m. when
he received bulletin that the democratic
national headquarters had already adj
mitted that every doubtful State bad
been carried by the republican national
ticket. He appeared to be not at all
downcast by the result, although it is
known that he greatly deplored his
overwhelming defeat in his own State
He received the discouraging news in
his study, where he sat smoking with
two of bis neighbors. The bulletin from
democratic headquarters concerning
Judge Parkers defeat was given to the
Judge by the Associated Press represen-
tative When asked if he had any
statement to make, be pulled telegraph
blank toward him and wrote hastily for
moment Then he said {:
81 am going to send this telegram to
President Roosevelt" The message was
dispatched at once. 1t was as follows ::
"RosemOunt, Esopus, n. Y,
$50 p. m, November g.
'rThe President, Washington, d. @.
"The people, by their votes, have en-
phatically approved your administration
and congratulate you.
(Signed) "ALToN B. PARKER"
At that hour returns were indefinite
and the Judge declined to make an ex-
tended statement. He said bis tele.
gram TO the President conveyed every
thing about the situation that he knew !;
that the result was evident even though
details were lacking.
The demeauor of Judge Parker as he
heard the bulletins read was of cheerful
resignation. Around Judge Parker
throughout the evening were the
members of his family and their guests.
In Esopus there was genuine grief
manifested by democrats that Judge
Parker ha failed to carry that village by
il voies.
At 10 o'clock Judge Parker received a
telegram from President Roosevelt as
follows:
81 thank you for your congratula-
tons"

Presidents Reception Of the News

Presidents Reception or the News
President Roosevelt arrived in Wash.
ington from Oyster Bay shortly after six
o'clock yesterday evening. After dinner
the President and Mrs. Roosevelt re-
paired to the parlors of the White HOUSE
where number of intimate friends had
gathered.
The first information of a definite
character was received by the President
while he was at dinner. The returns
laid before him then were in the nature
of assurances that he had carried New
York, his home State, by plurality so
large as to be astounding. Bulletins
from the newspapers OF New York city
were received conveying the welcome
news. These and rapidly succeeding
bulletins, each conveying to him more
cheering news, were read and discussed
by the President with oalmness.
Shortly after o'clock President Roosevelt
received personal telegram from his demo-
cratic opponent congratulating him on his
election.
At 1915 o'clock the President left his
guests at the White House and went to his
private office in the executive building There
he greeted cordially large number Of the
corps of Washington correspondents who had
been awaiting him. He subsequently re-
turned to the White House, leaving directions
that he was not to be disturbed unless some
thing of importance should develop.

PLENTY Of WORK

WASHINGTON TO GET SHARE
Local Architects and Contractors Max
ing Preparations-Large Apartment
House on Columbia Road.

It's an III wind that blows good to no
one. Thus the misfortune that has
come to our neighbor city of Baltimore
bids fair to advantage the architects
and builders OF Washington The
enormous amount of work involved in
the reconstruction of the devastated
business section of the Monumental City
viii call for the services of far more
talent than that city harbors, and thus
it is an almost assured fact that the
leading architects and building con-
tractors of Washington will get more
than a modest share of the work One
OF the busiest OF contractors said yes
terday:
There is no doubt that a number OF
the best architects and builders OF
Washington. will take an active part in
the rebuilding of Baltimore's fre-swept
section. Twenty-Five hundred business
houses are 10 be replaced, and all the
available talent of Baltimore will be
unable TO cope with this gigantic task.
II is natural, therefore. that in this
contingency the people of the neighbOr
city should look to the National Capital
with whom they always maintained
fraternal relations. We have never
trespassed unnecessarily upon their pre-
SSiNtSr HOI lut1 ~ any q
tent upon ours.
Work for Several Years.
I'm this emergency. therefore. they
will not take il amiss when we claim
a portion Of the work, all of which it
is impossible for them TO do. The con-
sequence is that there Will be a great
deal Of work for Washington architects
and builders for the next three or four
years. nor can there be n doubt that
the mechanics of our city will reap no
inconsiderable benefit from these con-
ditions. for Baltimore will have 20 call
for n great many more men than she
has at her own disposal. In all prob
ability l shall establish a branch office
III Baltimore just as SOON as matters
over there assume such shape as 10
warrant such a move on my part.
Similar views were expressed by on2
OF the leading architects OF the city.
This gentleman also intends to open a
branch Office in Baltimore as soon as
the time is ripe for il. He is confident
that he viii get not inconsiderable
share of the work 10 be done there. and
is looking forward TO employing an un-
usually large number Of craftsmen. the
majority Of whom he win keep in his
