Washington, August 6.-(Special.) )-Sen' ator Carmack of Tennessee, has come t' Washington. at the request of Chairman Cowherd, to spend several days assisting In the work of the democratic congress ional committee.
 He expects soon to return to Memphis to take part in a murder trial, in whict he is assisting the prosecution. When asked whether he would take advantag, of the opportunity to visit Esopus. he replied that while he had had cordia invitation to go to Esopus, he was of the opinion that Judge Parker needed { little solitude at this particular time and chance more to think than to receive Senator Carmack said
 .The prospects for the democratic party are bright, and growing brighter every hour. The chief issue of the campaign Is to put into the White House a man of sound mind, a man who would give tn, country safe, rather than sensationa, administration. The country has had a three year epileptic fit of strenuousity and it needs a rest.
 Has Reverence for Law
 T believe the people are growing more pleased with Judge Parker's candidacy all the time. He has impressed them as man of judicial temper, well poised sound judgment and patriotic motives His whole training has taught him a rever- ence for the constitution. a respect for the law and a just regard for precedents and traditions. He has, in word. made the impression upon the people that he is both courageous and level-headed. The people will elect him President of the United States because he is so different from MT. Roosevelt"
 A democratic leader at the headauar- ters of the congressional committee com lnented somewhat caustlcally upon Mir. Roots criticism of the age of Senator Davis.
 ''The attack made by MT. Root" said he, upon Senator Davis discloses only MT Roots consciousness of the weakness of his party's position. He knows that the Roosevelt administration hasn't a leg to stand on Republican spell binders even cannot revive the bugaboo of "cheap money" In their despair they are driven to invoke the grim reaper to keep them out of the hole. As for Senator Davis, he is not only able to sit up and take nourishment, but he and his friends are sufficiently powerful to carry West Vir- ginia. If you doubt it, all you have to do is to read Senator Scott's historical predictions of ever twenty-four hours. The truth is we have the republicans on the run"
 Colonel Russell Is Pleased.
 Hon. Edward l.. Russell, of Mobile, gen. eral counsel of the Mobile and Ohio, is here en route home from a trip to Esopus. Colonel Russell Is a great admirer of Judge Parker and did good word for him in the campaign leading up to the nomination at St. Louis
 Tt is impossible to meet Judge Parker, says Colonel Russell, without forming the highest opinion of him as a man, a jurist and a statesman
 He makes the same favorable impress sion on all his visitors. It was gratifying to note the feeling of confidence that east ern democrats entertain as to Judge Par ker's chances of success. I met men of recognized standing and cool judgment in the city who say that even at this early stage in the campaign the indica- tions are strongly in favor of the demo- cratic nominee. It would indeed be no surprise if the election should turn out landslide. If I am not greatly In error, this is going to be a democratic year."
 Granger of Rhode Island Talks.
 "The democrats of New England feel greatly encouraged at the general pros- poets for a democratic victory this fall" said Representative Granger of Rhode Island today.
 Rhode Island has in the last two cleo tions chosen a democratic governor, and it is not at all improbable that it's cleo toral vote may be given to Parker and Davis The ticket is one that comments itself to the intelligent and conservative men of all sections. All through the New England states are to be found voters of independent views, and to this class the personality of the democratic noml- nees appeal with unusual force"
