PARKER INTO It
HEART AND SOUL
A Glance at His Political
Workshop.
HOLDS MANY STRANDS
lie is Acquainting Himself With The
Minutest Details of the Canvass in
All Doubtful States and Him
self Doing Much
Work.
CIV the Associated Press

New York. Oct. "a glance into
Judge Parker's private reception
room at his apartments at Hotel
Seville reveals a political workshop
equipped almost as completely as his
library at Rosemount. He only needs
a review of stacks of correspondence
and imposing looking documents to
corroborate the report that the Dem
ocratic political candidate intends
spending a great deal of his time be-
tween now and election day in New
York, where he can keep in close
touch with the campaign.
That Judge Parker is acquainting
himself with the minutest details of
the canvass in every one of the States,
placed by either party in the doubtful
column. is evident from the discussions
with campaign managers. Many re-
ports are being made to him by in
dividual workers. which do not pass
through the hands of the national
committee and which are given his
personal attention. This work takes
much of his time. so much in fact
that scores of callers who have no
particular business with the candi-
date are unable to find him olsen
gagged Little of Judge Parker'S COR
Every letter that goes out. unless it
be some formal acknowledgment of
service is read and signed by the
Judge.
In this political workshop the cam
didate little resembles the dignified
man so much photographed. Ere
quently he wears bobbed-off sack
coat, with elbows shiny and thin, and
he does not always change to his
frock when visitors are announced.
In this apparel he usually toys pen
or pencil nervously while talking to
visitors as if anxious to get back to
his work
This is as newspaper men found MN
today when they were admitted for a
daily talk. Little information comes
from these visits. Their candidate
will discuss his personal plans, but
not questions of a political character.
He has made it plain that matters
which might influence the destiny of
the campaign would not be answered
in an off-hand manner, as might be
the case where replies are made to
questions carelessly propounded or
.capabie Of more than one interpreted
ton. He had adhered to a, policy eS-
tabliShed soon after the nomination
that of answering formally any ques-
tons, vitality affecting party inter-
ests.
Judge Parker found time today to
answer much correspondence. His
callers were fewer than on any preVi-
Gus occasion, when he has visited New
York

Makes Confession.
(By the Associated Press.)

ST. Louis. Oct. 3.-In written con-
fession today Charles F. Kelly, speak
er of the House of Delegates, during
a period in the life of Doodle COM
bine. relates the story of that combine.
He declares that a prominent local
politician. promised himself and 9TH
ers implicated that the next circuit at
torney would be 'all right" and prom
Used if they would remain firm he
would secure for them either continue
ance until the new circuit attorney
took office, or pardons afterwards.
Kelly declares he refused this offer
and that he makes this confession Ito
satisfy the pangS of an accusing con-
science to obey the request of ~
wife. and to do what he can to MAKE
atonement to the public and prevent
other young men from following the
path which he declares has led him to
ruin"
In his confession Kelly details the
story of the city lighting deal. for
which he says Doodle fund of SAT-
800 was divided between the nineteei,
members of the combine at julius
Lehmann's birthday party.
Kelly says:
II know from my own knowledge
and from the statements made to me
by those on the inside that bribery has
been going on in the municipal as
sembly of st. Louis for the past TWEEN
ty-five years. Hardly bill passed that
body in the last quarter of a century
unless it was paid for. He did not
fear exposure and punishment for the
reason that he believed that no one
dare to do it. In case of attack we
knew most of the politicians and many
OF the large financiers Of st. Louis
would be with us. A former prosecu-

"When the present prosecutor (Ci1~
cult Attorney Folk is meant herc)
commenced his war on us. we tried TO
ntimidate him by threats OF assassi
nation and when this had no effect we
laid all sorts of traps for him. with
out success. Then some one decided
that the best plan would be to start
a newspaper and libel him so flercely
as to draw his fire by taking Up his
time in libel prosecuting. or il he did
not, his influence would be weakened
and destroyed. Although we could
find nothing after a thorough search
to make attack on. libels were dei1b-
erately made up for the purpose of
affecting public sentiment. This plan
was participated in, not only by mem
bers of the House of Delegates un-
der Indictment, for boodling, but by
prominent financiers of st. LOUIS VINO

gave us the money.
OF the combine, Kelly had this to
say: nosa,nn hi,
out of which any money could be
obtained. unless we were paid for our
votes We went about it in a business
like way and had combine meetings at
stated times and fixed the bride prices,
which we we're to receive tor our
