REPUBLICANS ON RUN
CONSERVATION CAUSED BY DEMO-
 CRATIC OUTBURST.
Judge ParIker's Attacks On the Cause of COrtelyOu In Bleeding the Trust is Having Great
 Effect.

Washington, Nov. 2.-The nearest vehicle of White House utterance Is the Washington Evening Star. It has been most ardent supporter of the ad- ministration, Yesterday the S:ar said that ''The course taken by Judge Par ker in making the subject of campaign contributions the paramount issue of his speaking tour in the few days that intervene until the election is being ac- cepted by many as a forerunner of the usual Quadrnnial charge of corruption that bobs up in the form of a chorous on the part of Democratic spell bin- ders on the day after Presidential cleo tions which have showed them un- der"
 Nevertheless. 1t is generally recog- Eized that it is up to the administra- tion and the Republican campaign com mittee to make specific answer to Judge Parker and the independent press ac- cusing Chairman Cortelyou, with know ledge of the president of using duress the big corporate interests.
 A general denial by Irresponsible agents will not be sufficient.
 It is believed here that the result of the election will largely turn upon whether President Roosevelt will make answer to the serious assaults that have been made upon the dignity and integrity of his office.
 The Evening Star practically ad- mits that the corporations have con tributed to the Republican campaign fund, but that they had done so for definate reasons based on the differ ence of principles fthe two parties, D and because the Democrats have spoken of protection as Robbery"
 The great demonstration for Judge Parker in New York has hat decided effect here today, It Is every where recognized that there are unmis- takable indication of'~.a strong trend to the Democratic ticket, and that If there Is time for other doubtful States to be persuaded that New York is go ing for Parker, they, too, will surely fall into line for him.
 A report from New York today, com ing from Republican sources, speaks of surprise at Republican headquarters over the great Democratic outburst which read between the lines, nigh be consternation rather than mere surprise.
 The report says that the Republicans are not wavering over Roosevelt's cleo tion, and adds: '"They do not concede New York to Parker, but simply scale dow nthe estimate of Roosevelt's pro spective plurality to fit the apparent ErOWIn OI OeiuOCiatiS SShNiAhSA1 III Manhattan. When thus scaled down, it shows still, in their estimation, suf- flcient margin to promise victory.
 "As to the State ticket. the Republi- cans have at no time felt more than reasonably hbpeful of victory That hope is diminished. but not extinguish- ed by the present Democratic outburst. The task is made little harder for the Republicans. but, in their cold judg- ment. still practicable"

Congressman Adamson Confident

Congressman Adamson Confident of
 the Party's Success.
 Columbus, Ga, Nov 2.--iSpecial.)- )-- Tt looks like landslide for Demo- cracy," is the verdict of Congressman, w. c. Adamson. of the Fourth Georgia District. who has just returned from the north. where he made speeches in the interest of the Democratic tick ct.
 "I believe that our congressional representation will be substantially in- creased" he continued. T believe we can count upon five more Democratic representatives from Maryland, a num- Der from West Virginia, and even a number from Ohio. Things look brigh- ter for Democracy than they have in many a day. I think our chances. are unquestionably excellent. The Repub- licans did not discover until few days ago that they were in real dan ger, and now they are moving heaven and earth. They are putting up the same bluff that they have all along about the country being overwhel- mingly Republican, but it's case of whistiing to keep up courage now.
 As for Indiana and Illinois, Judge , Adamson is willing to trust to the judgment of Carter Harrison and Tom Taggart, "They are on the scene and ought to know" he said. T don't be- lieve that they would say those states i are going Democratic if they did't i believe it."

 Captain Tubbs replaced the bottle in his locker, fastened the door, pock- eted the key and then said in a feel ing voice:

| As the result of a conference of ac- | tive librarians in all parts of the State l led by Dr. Thomas M. Owen, durina
 the past few days, meeting has been called to be held in the Carnegie Li- l brary building in this city on Novem- Der 21 and 22 to organize a permanent 1 association of Alabama librarians. | Circular letters have been prepared | and were sent out yesterday over the State urging a large attendance. | The circular letters bear the sigma lures of the following well known li- | brarians and library officers who have l originated the movement: Thomas M :. Owen, Director of the Department of Archies and History: Miss Laura M {.
 Elmore, Librarian of the Carnegie Li- brary. Montgomery; Junius M. Riggs. Librarian of the State Supreme. Court Library: William H. Dingley, Treas urer and Librarian of the Grand Lodge Ancient. Free and Accepted Masons: Eliza M. Bullock. Principal of the Girls High School and Library of Montgomery; and L. L. Dix, Secre- tary of the Young Mems Christian As- sociation of Montgomery.
 preliminary program of the meet ing is a part of the circular letter and includes papers and speeches by the following well known State officers and other citizens who are interested in the cause of better and more num- erous libraries in Alabama:
 Dr. Thomas M. owen of Montgom- cry, Acting Governor R. M. Cunning ham, Phares Coleman of Montgomery. Dr. J. H. Phillips of Birmingham. Hon. Isaac w. Hill of Montgomery. Mrs. F. H. Happer of Mobile. Dr. Herbert A. Sayre of Tuscaloosa, Pres ident Charles c. Thatch of Auburn Miss Laura M Elmore of Montgomery and A. c. Harte of Mobile.
 A revised program of this conference will be sent, out in a few days which will show that several more speakers are to be added.
 Dr. Owen said yesterday that the plan of organizing State Library As- sociation was under way as far back as two years ago but 1t was decided that the time was not ripe. Subse- quently there have been such rapid strides in the libraries in all parts of the State that the time Is considered to be opportune for a union of librarians and literary workers of the State.
 Through the proposed organization 1t is expected that interest in the value of books will be stimulated, methods compared and discussed, the extent and limitation of collections discovered and a proper emphasis laid on the high character of the functions of libraries and the dignity of the men in charge of them. Social features will be pro- vided by the bylaws of the proposed association, the purpose being to pro- mote acquain tanceship among the members.
 The preliminary committee on or- ganization sets out very good reasons why the meeting should be held in Montgomery. The latter Is rich in history and traditions. The libraries
