Judqe Alton B. Parker Shows UD Weakness of ROOSe-
 ve|t's Speeches
DEMOCRATIC APPEAL IS MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE
Menace of New NationaIism Is Held Up to View and the Extrayagances of the Republican Party Are
 Clearly Pointed Ont

Plattsburg, N. T., November 1.-Judge Alton B. Parker spoke here tonight for the democrtic state nominees.
 He called attention to Colonel Roose- velt's discovery of an alleged alliance be- tween MT. Dix and Wall street. and said that the only evidence the colonel had pretended to adduce was a circular ask ing for funds, issued by the chairman of the finance committee of Tammany Hall
 q hold that circular in my hand,'' he said, "and also similar circulars issued by the republican committee and the dem ocratic state committee. In the appeals therein for funds they do not differ in substance, but there are marked differ ences in the reasons assigned for the need Of funds as well as in the affiliations of the men who sign them.
 T am bound to say they each make 1t clear that they want contributions. and whether large or small they will be ac- cepted, that all insist that contributions will be applied only to the legitimate ex- penses of the campaign, and what is more ceived from corporations.
 Impressive Appeal
 q cannot help feeling that the dem- ocratic appeal is more impressive than that of the republicans. They speak of the people who will be benefited by this election, whereas the dominant republican thought appears to be of their party and what may or may not happen to it here after if i'll befalls it this particular year.
 1A. afc haf fhnt. arc fQ- sues in this fight which so transcend in importance all party ties and so affect all who place patriotism above perty as to Justify and require the giving of an opportunity to all to share In the work and have credit in the triumph. They point to the menace of the new national ism and the blighting effect 1t will have upon business and labor, to the extrava- gance of the party that has for so many years controlled affairs at Washington and Albany and to the corruption of life in Albany. The republicans are evidently having hard time in impressing the merits of the cause and their candidate upon the average business man of New York this year. They approach him with false representation in their open Ing sentence-this is not a circular they say, but an appeal to your patriotism
 And how the republicans do resent
  CT in a little money for the legitimate expenses of their campaign. Their own cries for help have filled the air and when they discovered a circular from Tammany, also asking contributions for the legitimate expenses of its campaign. there were frantic calls for the police and loud demands for the colonel to just listen to this.
 Facts in the Case
 Tie circular simply says that the democratic party stands for tranquil 1ty and Is opposed to the wild doctrines of Roosevelt which would unsettle which the conservative forces of the country fully realize now after the colonel's three weeks of strenuous campaigning. From the republican point of view it Is positively rude for any body but republicans to look for funds in the business center of New York
 T don't find on Sthe democratic cir cular the names of many Wall street men who would be supposed to have special infiuence with the Wall street brethe ern, but do find great volume and variety of Wall street interests in- terested among the signers of the re- publican circular.
 The speaker then mentioned the names of Cornelius Vanderbilt. Ogden l. Mills. Otto T. Barnard B. Aymer Sands. Cornelius N. Bis and other men as directors of corporations, financial Institutions, etc., as being upon the re- publican circular.
 T present these facts to you," Judge Parker said in conclusion, mot in crit icism of the efforts of these gentlemen to help their party, but solely to show how absurd is the colonels contention that there cen be any connection be- tween Wall street and any body of men that is diligently seeking to promote the candidacy of MT. Dix for governor"
