Eugene V. Debs. "a governmental
anarchy" He described Mr.. Parker
as tool Of the oil trust and charac-
terized Roosevelt's record as one of
implacable hostility to the working
man.
Democratic Editors Meet.
About 300 Democratic editors and
many other Den. ocrats of prominince
were the guests of the Democratic ma
tiOnal committee at the Waldorf-Asto-
ria New York, Sept. 7. The principal
addresses were made by Colonel Wat
terson of the Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal, Editor Howell Of the Atlanta Con-
gtitution and Editor Ridder of the New
York Staats-Zeitung. Mr.. Watterson
described President Roosevelt as "as
sweet a gentleman as ever scuttled a
ship" and as ga self willed adventurer
upon the high seas of public life" Ed
'ftor Howell charged Roosevelt with
iwrecking sectional harmony. Editor
Pulitzer Of the New York World urged
Parker to take the reins.
Next day the editors called in body
on Judge Parker at Esopus. He in his
words of welcome aroused much en-
thusiasm by saying that the September
state elections decided nothing and
that the result in Vermont simply adj
monished Democrats of the need Of
harmonious cooperation.
Davis Majority Smaller.
Unofficial returns from the Arkansas
state elections. Sept. 6, showed that
Governor Davis had been reelected to
q third term by plurality Of about
10000, only half as large as was given
to him two years ago. The falling off
was largely attributed to personal un-
popularity of the Democratic candi-
date.

from Marion, Kan, to Brunswick, Me-,
made numerous speeches, in which he
telaimed that the Democrats had done
fROthing to restrain trusts. Chairman

It was reported at Elkins, w. Va,
chat Candidate Davis had limited his
campaign contribution to $4,000, but |
this was not confirmed.
Public attention was. called to the |
fact that in one part of the Republican
campaign book the Democratic reel
procity plank was quoted as a Repub-
lican one. Secretary Coolidge says |
there was very little difference be-
tween the planlks anyway and that the
Republican plank was correctly print
ed elsewhere.

Of accuracy. has voluntarily corrected
its report of the speech made by 'ex-
Senator Hill at Deposit, N. Y, Aug. rs.

charging President Roosevelt with be-
ing a fraud. whereas Mr.. Hill said
nothing Of the kind.
