President Roosevelt's statement, contains very many strang recriminations, taking up the history of the advocacy of Judge arker as democratic candidate. He siserts that Parker SUGAR CULÙVATION IN THE has been the candidate of the trusts and of Wall Street from the first and but for the effort of these organizations in his behalf Packer would not now be nominee for president,

It is alleged that the Parker movement grew out of the attitude of the present administration
Governor Odell of New York is also out in a
statement in which he corroborates the charges made by President Roosevelt that Judge Par ker is in high favour with the sugar and tobacco trusts. Odell also asserts that Parker owns stock in many of the corporations that he has charged with assisting Roosevelt. It is also charged that the democratic nominee is not in sympathy with the Northern Securi ties decision and if elected will use the office of chief exentive to change judicial legis- lation along lines more favourable to combina tions that have for their object the elimination of competition.

Aiton B. Parker, Democratic candidate for president, has repeated his charge that the Republican' campaign committee has forced immerse contributions from the trusts, judge Parker says that he has knowledge of this from inside sources and defies the Republicans to disprove his assertions. So strong were his allegations that Senator Knox, formerly at- torney-general of the United States, Paul Morton, secretary of the navy and secretary Cortelyou, have issued a joint statement in which
they characterize Judge Parker's allegations as false to the core; they say that there is no foundation whatever for these charges and offer to give a large sum to charity if any proof at alt is brought forward. The statement made by the President that Parker was himself a tool of the trusts has made a pro- found impression throughout the whole country, and has started the strongest lever for bringing votes to the Republican party that has yet been used.
The assertions of Roosevelt as to Parker's duplicity, while resented with fierceness by the Democrats, seem to carry much weight with a large class of independent voters. There is a good deal of excitement over the election, but not as in the former years when the contest was considered closer.-Munila Cablenews.
