From the st. Lotus Globe-Democrat.1
Nobody will be surprised at the rev.
citation of John A. Mccall. president
of the New York life insurance COM
pany, that Democratic candidates
made existence for him a burden by
their opportunities for money for use
in the campaign Of 1904. He says
that Parker, when head of the Demo.
cratic State cammittee a few years
earlier. accepted every dollar that was
paid to him for campaign purposes.
Parker denies that he solicited money
in the campaign of 1904, but Mccall
did not charge him with soliciting
money in that campaign. PARKER knew
better thanto ask for money IN can.
vass IN which he was the candidate.
He was aware that he would be an
object of suspicion, and that any
move toward the collection of funds
for the support of his own candidacy
would be sure to come out sooner
or later, and overwhelm him.
But Parker's own campaign manag-
ers looked for cash wherever they
thought they had a chance to get it.
They accepted every cent which came
within their reach. The candidate
himself probably did not solicit any
contributions. Probably also he was
not told the sources in the fund which
the trusts Clipped in for his support.
There was no necessity for his cam.
paign managers to tell Parker these
little points of detail. He knew, how
ever, that the Taggart- Belmont.Shee-
han political syndicate were raising
all the funds that they could get. He
knew also that the trust magnates
whom Roosevelt had been hitting be-
fore the campaign, and whom he has
been hitting since, wanted the Demo-
cratic party to carry the country.
When Havemeyer. the head of the
sugar trust, was allowed to frame the
sugar schedule of the Mills tariff bill,
he showed his gratitude by making a
large contribution to the Cleveland
campaign fund Of 1888, That was a.
matter Of common report at the time.

Democrats carried the country In that
year he could get the sort of legis-
