PLEASED BY DENIAL
THE REPUBLICANS APPROVE MIR.
 ROOsEVELTS STATEMENT.
Democrats of the Opinion That Judge Parker Had the Best of Grounds For Charges
 Brought. \

Washington, Nov. 5.-(Special.)- Republicans in and out of ofiicial life in Washington are very chesty today over President Roosevelt's dash at de- nial of Judge Parker's charges
 They have been calling today at the White House or sending messages con- graduating the President for what they regard as a complete and crush ing report of an honest man unJustly accused.
 It has been felt on the other hand, among Democrats that their candidate for President would never have made so serious an onslaught upon President Roosevelt and Chairman Cortelyou without warrant of fact. Judge Par ker's style of pitching into the pair surprised even Democrats. But the things he charged had been repeatedly put into print by three of the leading independent newspaprs of New York without a sign of response upon the part of the accused. It was not deemed necessary that the allegations should be specific. 10 was notorious that corporation heads. regardless of their supposed party afhliation, were importuned for campaign funds by Chairman Cortelyou, who was guided and advised by Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island, who went to New York and conferred with Cortelyou before he made his collecting round.
 It is felt also among Democrats here that If it becomes an issue of political veracity. the people will know whom to believe without assistance of strenuous denials and that when Republicans on Presidential years fail to attempt any fat-frying process 1t will have become an organization of & character radically different from that 1t has been ever since 1t was high tariff, protection party. depending upon pro- tected interests for campaign financial support.
 A Delaware Democrat. until recently a Republican and converted because of the administrators league with Ad- dicks, the notorious and confessed cor ruptionist, referred to that fact today and said the administration denial of having received aid from the trusts would at least not go in Delaware and that State would certainly cast its vote for Judge Parker.
 But everything political here is wait ing the further statereent of Judge Parker as to his charges, Judgment of merits of the case being among those not recklessly partisan being practi- cally suspended.
