"WALL STREET AND THE MIG.
GER"

Democratic Desperation in New York
State-What Judge Parker and
Wall Street Are Doing to Try to
Defeat Roosevelt and the Repub-
lican Party-The "Nigger" and
the Trusts Being Used by the DEM
ocrats in New York as Well as in
North Carolina.
New York, Oct. 22-The Demo-
cratic organization in this State, I'M
der the guiding hand of Judge Allan
B. Parker, the late Democratic can
didate for President, seems to be
well supplied with campaign funds
from Wall Street They are appeal
ing to every "malefactor of great
wealth" to put up money to crush
out "Roseveltism.'
Their last move is to pour out
liberal sum of Wall Streets money
to organize the negro vote against
the Republican party.
There is abundant evidence that
this trust blood-money is already
talking.
The State organization of the
United Colored Democracy is con-
Quoting an active campaign among
the colored voters in support of the
entire Democratic ticket. There are
10000 negro voters in this State,
and If they can be thrown as a
body against the Republican ticket,
the loss of so many votes may have
a material effect on the general re-
suit. A series of addresses and leaf
lets appealing to the negroes are be-
ing circulated. These condemn Col
Rosevelt's present attitude in New
| York State political affairs, his treat
ment of negro soldiers at the time
of the Brownsville episode, and his
more recent advice to colored peo-
pie to stop whining" The leaflets
consist of ardent appeals to the ne
groes of the State to vote against
Roosevelt and support the Demo-
cratic ticket, asserting that the for
mer President owns the Republican
party in New York and is using it
to the end that he may again be
elected President ito crafty his
| overweening ambition to make ne
/ groes stop whining and crawl to
race prejudice"
Advice to Negro Voters.
The appeal concludes with this ad-
vice to negro voters: "Mr. Colored
Voter. are you man? Can you re-
sent insult and injury Then vote
like man. Remember Brownsville
and bury Theodore Roosevelt so deep
On election day that his advice to
stop whining will be buried with
him."
w. Bourke Cockran's unexpected
alignment with the Republicans re-
calls the time when he performed
his most effective political flop twelve
years ago. He had not then become
known as frequent shifter of allie
/ glance, and his turning created
more of stir than it has this year.
The Tammany boss in 1898, Rich
ard Croker. had declined a re-nomi-
nation to Justice DAILY. The situa-
ton was somewhat similar to that
created by Murphy's recent refusal
: to nominate Justice Edward B
| Whitney. Among the Democratic
, lawyers who bolted the Tammany
, ticket was Cochran. who had the
: special reason of personal differ
ences with Croker. In a speech a
Carnegie Hall, on the independence
: OF the judiciary, the former Tam
many orator increased greatly hi
: reputation as platform thriller
: The speech is still remembered b,
: politicians as one of the clever talk
l er's most finished efforts.
s Senator EIihu Root will make
l speech in this city toward the end o
S next week, unless plans which tn,
s Republican State chairman has undo
way fall through.
