Parker Speaks
 to the Democracy
SAYS PEOPLE WILL SOON REAL iZE DISASTER IN BEND
 ING TO TRUSTS.
"The People Win Wish to Be Rid of These Leeches, But the Republican Party Will Not Aid Them to Do It."

Rosemount. Esopus, N. Y, Nov. 14.- Judge Parker gave forth h.s political valedictory to the Democracy of the na- ton tonight, in a statement full of hopefulness for the party's future and showing not the slightest trace of re sentiment or chagrin.
 Fur her than he has outlined in the statement Judge Parker will say nOth- ing about h.s future plans. The state ment follows:
 To the Democracy of the Nation:
 Our thanks are due 10 the members of the National Committee and 10 the Executive Committee in charge of the campaign fo. most unselfish, capable and brilliant party service. All that it was possible for men to do they did but our difficulty was beyond the reach of party managers. I am most grateful to them and wish in this gen eral way to exten1 my thanks to the workers as well as the rank and file all over the country. l know how hard they struggled against overwhelming odds and 1 only wish could take each enc by the hand and thank h.m.
 Deeply as I regretted leaving the bench, in the presence of oyerwhelm- ing defeat I co not lament it. 1 thought it was my duty. In the light of my present information l am now even more confident that 1 did right I shall never seek a nomination for public of force but shah tc the best of my ahil- ity serve the party tha- has honOred me and through the party serve my country.
 The party has in the near future @ great mission. Before long the people will realize the tariff-fed trusts and illegal combinations are absorbing the wealth Of the nation. Then they will wish to throw off these leeches, but the Republicans will not aid them to co il, for it's leaders appreciate too well the one use 10 which the money of the trusts can be put in political cam paigns.
 When the time comes, and it will come, the country Will come to the Democratic party for relief. And the party should be ready, ready with an organization of patriotic ciG-zens GOV ering every election district, who are wiling to work for the love of the cause, an organization supported by as many town, city, county and State officers as We are able 10 elect in the meantime.
 We entered this canvass with every Northeastern and Western State save one in Republican control. That gave to that party a large army of office holders reaching into every ham ct, many of whom gladly followed the ex- amples set them by the members of the Presidents cabinet in devoting their time and services to the party.
 TO accomplish much in this direc- ton, however. We must forget the diff faculties Of the past. If any one sus- poets his neighbor of treachery let him not h4nt of h.s suspicion. If he knows he has deserted us, let him not tell it. Our forces have been weakened by L4N164OlS. we uclhG QUd4 4GAE4 dL lll4Go over non-essentials. If We help the people, if We would establish an organ izat.on through which we may be re. lievec uf q party grown so corrupt that it will gladly enter into partner ship with trusts to secure money for election purposes, We must forget the differences of the past and begin this day to build up wherever it may be needed. a broad and effective organi- zation.
 And We must. by constant teaching through the press and from the plat form, apprise the people of the way the vicious tariff circle works. We must bring home to them at other than eiec- ton seasons the fact that the money circulated through the Republican par dy by the trusts is not only dishonest money. out is given that the trusts may. without hindrance. take a much larger sum from the people
 Tn the presence of a defeat that would take away all personal ambition were it t7ue that otherwise it possess cd me, I do not hesitate to say that in my opinion, the greatest moral ques- ton which now confronts us is, Shall the trusts and corporations be prevent cd from contributing money to control or to aid in controlling elections?'
 Such services as I can render in that or n other directions will be gladly rendered, and I beg the coop e-auon of fellow worker of every Democrat in the country.
