 Washington, September 26-(Special.)- The democrats, who called at congress- tonal committed headquarters today were enthusiastic over Judge Parker's letter of acceptance. One and all pronounced it an able document which will have decided influence II. the campaign. They believe it will appeal in comparison to the blus- ter and swagger of the Roosevelt let ter. very strongly to the independent voter.
 sThe letter." said Chairman Cowherd, speaks Cor itself. The democratic party will benefit wherever it is read. That it has and will continue to do the demo- cratic party great good cannot be doubt ed"
 Senator g one of Missouri says the let ter is vlrile document and will in- ject no little ginger in the campaign. which the senator thinks has been very slow and lacking interest up to this time.
 T was especially pleased with Judge Parkers strong stand on the tariff," said the senator. There is no better issue for the democratic party than the tariff. We won on that issue twice, in fact the only times we have won in forty years have been on the issue of the tariff. The con- ditions now are very much the same that they were when we won and I cannot see why we should not stick to the Issue which proved so important to the peo- pie then.
 Many Other Callers.

 Call 1t Before Election,
 The President it is stated at the White House today, had decided to call an in- ternational peace conference immediate ly before the election. The effect of such an announcement at once would proba- bly die out before the election and there would be no political necessity of call peace conference after the election.
 The Big Stick" seems safely in storage at least until the morning of November g. The president realizes that one of the strongest points being made against him by his political enemies Is their desire to act the party of constitutional police man." The call for a peace conference or the eve of the election will 1t is thought be a complete refutation of the charges of belligerancy. The suggestion was made that the call for the peace con ference be delayed until peace be restor- ed between Russia and Japan in order that they might send TepTeSeHldliNfb The importance however, of maintaining peace among the other nations of the world, overweighted a postponement ir the opinion of the president.
