PARKER'S CHARGE

DECLARED FALSE BY ROOSEVELT

President in an Address to the American People Replies to "Slanderous Accusations" Against Mr. Cortelyou and Himself Made by ' The Democratic Candidate.,

liO LEVIES ON OR PLEDGES MADE TO THET RUSTS

Wt of Infamy Contained in Assertions Repeatedly Made by the St. Louis Nominee Declared to" Be Unqualifiedly and : Atrociously Untrue Is Under No Promise Except to Give Every Man Square Deal

President Kuosevttlt last . -.night n;iulp llie following siguedj statement to the American people in, answer to chillies made against. himself and Mr. Cortelyou in public speeches by Mr. lWkir,(th$ - Democratic candidate for the Presidency: White House Washington, D. C. To the American Teople. , Nov. 4, 1004. Certain slanderous accusations as to Mr. Cortelyou and myself have been repeated time and, again by Jmlge" l'aiker, the eamli'date of his party; for the office L' president. Ho lias neither produced nor can produce any proof of their truth; yet he has not withdrawn them; and as liis position yives them wide currency T speak now, lest the silence of self-respect be misunderstood. Mr. Parker's charges are in elTect that the President of the .United States -and- Mr. Cortelyou, formerly Mr. Cleveland's executive clerk, then Mr. McKinley's and my secretary, then secretary of commerce and labor, and now chairman of the Republican national committee, have been in a conspiracy to blackmail corporations, Ir. Cortelyou using the knowledge gained while he was secretary of the department, of eomiiierce and labor to extort money from the corporations, and I, tlve president, having appointed him for this especial purpose... The gravemen of these charges lies in the assertion that the corporations have been blackmailed4 into contributing, and iu the implication, which in one or two of Mr. 'Parker V speeches' -has' taken the form practically of an assertion, that"' they have heen promised certain immunities or favors or have been assured that? they would receive some kind of improper consideration' in '-view of their contributions. -;'-'' '- - ' 1 ; Parker's Statements Devoid of Truth. . That coiifributions have been j been made to the Republican com-; mittee. as contributions have In-en made to the Democratic commit tec, is not the question at issue. Mr. barker's assertion is in effect that such contributions have been made for improper V motives, either in consequence of threats, or m con-, sequence oi improper. promises, mrect or indirect, on the part of the recipients. . ; . -i; " Mr. Parker knows best whether it is true of the contributions r.to his campaign fund which have -come through his trusted ; frkmdsvand advisers who represent the great ' roiv porate interests that stand behind him. Put there is not one particle of truth in the statement as regards anything that has gone on in the management of the Kepublican cainpaign. ; Calls Parker's Charges" Monstrous" Mr. Parker's accusation against Mr. Cortelyou and myself are monstrous. If true they would " brand both of us forever witfi infamy; and

inasmuch as they are false, heavy must be the condemnation of the man making them. v""' I chose. Mr. Cortelyou as chairman of the national committee-after having failed successively to persuade Mr. Klihu TJootV ' Mr. W.7 -Murray Crane and "Mr. Cornelius X. -Bliss to i accept the position. I: chose liini with

extreme reluctance, becanse T could-

ill spare him fYo'nv the cabinet. -But I felt, that he possessed the high in tegrity which T demanded in the V-man who was to manage my campaign. I am content that Mr! Parker and I should be judged by the public on the characters of the two men whom we chose to manage our campaigns: he by the character of his nominee. Mr. Thomas Taggart, and T by the character of Mr. Cortelyou. -Brands the Charges as Falsehoods. The assertion, 'J hat Mr. Cortelyou had any knowledge gained" while in any official position whereby he was enabled to secure and did secure' auv

OF BLACKMAIL

contribution from 'jmy corporation is a s, falsehood. . . . u .. The assertion that there has been any-blackmail, direct ,or? indirect, by Mr. Cortelyou or by me is a . falsehood. ; The assertion that there has been made in behalf and bv my authority by Mr. Cortelyou or by any one else, any pledge or promise, or that there has been any understandign as to future immunities or benefits,. in recognition of any contribution, from any source is a wicked falsehood. Base and Unworthy Personalities. That Mr. Parker should desire to avoid t he discussion of principles I can well understand, for it is but the bare truth to say that he has not attacked us on any matter of principle or upon any action cf the government save after first misstating that principle or that action. lut I can not understand how any honorable man, a candidate for the highest office in the gift of the people, can take refuge not merely in personalities, but in such base and unworthy personalities. If I deemed it necessary to support my flat denial by any evidence i T would ask all men of common sense to ponder well what has been done in this campaign by Mr. Cortelyou and to compare it with what Mr. Parker himself did when he was managing Mr. Hill's campaign for governor; and to compare what has been done as regards the great corporations and moneyed interests under this administration with what was done under the last Democratic administration, while Mr. Richard Olney was the attorney general; I would ask all honest men whether they seriously deem it possible that the course this administration has taken in every matter from the Nor thern Securities suit to the settlement of the anthracite coal strike is compatible with any theory of public behavior, save the theory of doing exact justice, to all men without fear and without favoritism: T would ask all honest and fair minded men to remember that the agents through whom I have worked are Mr. Knox and Mr. Moody in the department of justice, Mr. Cortelvou tne department of commerce and labor, and Mr. Garfield, in the bureau r of corporatiois, . and that no such act of infamy as Mr. Parker charges could have been done Avithout all -of these men being parties to it. Unqualified and Atrociously False. The statements made by Mr. Parker-are unqualified and : atrociously false. As---Mr. Cortelyou .-.has said to me more than once, during this campaign, if elected I shall go into the presidency unhampered by any pledge, promise, or understanding of any kind, sort, or description, save my promise, made openly to the American people, that so far as in my power lies I shall see to it that every man has a squai'e deal, no less and no more. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. A BLAZE OF GLORY (Continued From First Page.) entire wealth was sixteen millions of dollars, all of this cn account of the free trade oliey. All of our portable wealth wns sent to; the other countries for stuff that ' we should have been '-making here. We have accumulated "more wealth in forty years Sunder- the new policy than England has in its thousands of years of histcry. This country has grown beyond the reasoning of tin Democrats;- it has got to be a billion dollar conn try. -It is completely beyond the power of the Democratic party to understand or manage it. If we . have been wrong on the tariff luestion the entire world is wronsr. Every country in the world with the I ex Sceptioh of "England, has a tariff

and there is a strong fight going on in England "at the present' time fsr

tariff. In 1892, the Democrats had every branch of the government atl they were unable to pass a law i a regard to the tariff. What would they do with the government now if they had it with their seventeen brands of Democracy and no two brands agreeing. 'V In 1892 so well did Cieveland manage the government in times of peace that he bad to sr.H bonds to get money to run the government with. He sold the bouds to J. P. Morgan & Company; of New York, and the next day August Belmont, the man who is running Parker's campaign, turned around and sold the same bonds to a European syndicate and he and Morgan mad-? $80(Vi00,000, which they put into their own pockets and perhaps today some of that, same money is part of the Democratic campapign fund. Who knows? " Mr. Watson next mentioned McKinley V name and the audience applauded it to the echo. Mr. Wat son said: '.McKinlev was nsrat in 189G when he said : Open the mills and not the mints. ' A few weeks ago 1 wrote Mr. liryaii and asked him to send me copies of his paper in which he -had roasted Parker. In exactly five" days I received nine dif ferent copies ' of his -papers.''' Mi. Pryan reminds me of the young fellow who called on two of his sweet hearts one Sunday evening and fouv.d other fellows at each place. lie then went to church and while there he was called upon to pray. He said: 'O Lord we come to Thee tonight because we have no place else to go.' That is Bryan." "In his speech through this country Mr. Bryan has said that we are building forts in the cities to fdl tl'iem with soldiers who will shoot down the laboring man. Mr. Hryan forgets that Cleveland was the only president who used the troops to shoot laboring men. M Roosevelt settled his strikes by arbitration. Mr. Bryan also forgets that when it was proposed to build a fort in this section of the country that the president of the Commercial Club of Indianapolis, appointed a committee to go to Washington and try and get the fort erected in Indianapolis. The president of that Commercial Club was also a member of that-committee and by making speeches in Washing-ton and talking there for a number of weeks he finally secured the fort for Indianapolis. The president of that club is John W. Kern, who is now running for governor of Indiana on the Democratic ticket." ' Mr. Watson closed his remarks by making an earnest appeal to the young men of the audience. He said: "Do not join the Democratic party. It is like getting into a grave yard. What issue that it has stood for in the last twenty-five years is alive? not cue and I ask you now to support the entire Republican ticket." At the close of the speech by Mr. Watson the Newcastle glee club sang one more song. Mr. Barnard sang a solo and was assisted by the entire club in the chorus. TAGGART MISSING (Continued .Fr-om .First .. Page.).. ... t .. .. - . - ; .. . It is 'estimated that at least 1,500 spellbinders will take the stumps of spellbinders will take the stumps of Indiana tonight in the grand windup of one of the greatest speaking campaigns Indiana ever had. Each party will have from five, to ten speeches in every county in the State. . James P. Goodrich, chairman, was at Republican State committee rooms, directing the final reconnoitering for the battle of next Tuesday. W. II. O'Brien, chairman of the Democratic State committee, was at Lawrenceburg yesterday, it was said at committee rooms, and the supposition is tsat he was giving some final directions, financial and other, for Dearborn county. Thomas Taggart slipped out of town quietly Thursday on the Knickerbocker, and it was said that he went to New York, although Joseph T. Fanning, in charge in his absence said he had not gone to New York, and would return to Indianapolis soon, lie said Mr. Taggart was in Indiana, but he would not tell Avhere he had gone. A telegram from New York says that Taggart is expected by Delancy Nicoll, of national headquarters, to reach New York in time for a final meeting of the national committee today. There is apparently a great deal of secrecy about his movements in the last phase of the campaign. It was reported that he had gone to New York to appeal for $100,000: in Indiana, his argument being that the

organization of Indiana Democracy

was never in better condition to win a victory. Only Makes a Matter Worse. Perhaps jou have never thought of it, but the fact must be apparent to every one that constipation is caused by a lack of water in the system, and the use of drastic cathartics like the old fashioned pills only makes a bad matter worse. Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets are much more mild and gentle in their effect, and when the proper does is taken their action is so natural that one can hardly realize it is the effect of a medicine. Try a 25 cent bottle of them. For sale" by A. G. Luken and W; II. Sudhoff, Fifth and Main streets. BEDFORD STONE Last Three Shipments Arrive For New Government Building. The last three car loads of stone for , the new ' Government buildinsr C7 - O have been shipped from the Bedford quarries, two arriving Friday afternoon.'-' and one yesterday. The contraetbr in charge stated yesterday that now the stone was all here there would be no more unnecessary delay and that all the . stone work on the building would be up in ten days. The demand for Jed ford stone is greater than the quarries can accommodate and while the contractors of the local government building have had to put up with an embarrassing delay they are sincerely thankful that the last three shipments of stone arrived before extremely cold weather sets in. T Are the Citizens of Harrisburg Over The Recent Fire. (Special to the Palladium.) Cambridge City, November 5. A disastrous fire early Monday morn ing at Harrisburg, 30 miles southwest of this city, causing a total destruction of the I. 0. 0. F. hall and resulting in a heavy loss, has aroused the ire of many residents of that town, who claim it to be the work of an ineendairy. They think they have a good clew to the parties avIio committed the deed. The Odd Fel lows' building was a large frame j structure, finely furnished on the second floor for lodge quarters, and a large store room on the ground floor was occupied by Herbert Thomas, who conducted a mercantile store and all of the entire contents, with the building was reduced to a bed of ashes. . The loss to Mr. Thomas is estimated at $1,200 with partial insurance. The -Odd Fellows' lodge loses $1,500, but it is thought' to be insured for full value. BIG INDUSTRY For Cambridge City is the Green- . ! .house of Thos. Peet. (fecial to the Palladium.) CamVndge City., Nov. .". Thos. Peet, who recently purchased the Greenhouse of Howard & Lively, has made no little improvement in its arrangement and his plants and flowers are looking well. He has two large houses devoted exclusively" to carnations, principally among which is the Thomas W. Lawson $30,000 flower. Mr. Peet expects to grow slow but sure, and from present indications he will find a ready market for all the flowers he can produce. Few people in Cambridge City realize the importance of this industry. YOUNG TROTTER Has Been Sold by John S. Lackey For $600. (Special to the Palladium.) Cambridge City, Nov. -5. John S. Lackey sold a very promising young1 trotter, by llulbert, to John Brownin sr. of Indianapolis, last week, for ,(00. Mr. Lackey regretted to, part with him as he regarded the price no value of the horse's worth. Mr. Lackey had made the price soon after he had bought the horse and before he had given him any track work the second mile Mr. Larkcy worked this youngster he turned it with ease in 2:26, and with proper handling he think he will learn 'to ro very fast. Henry Kroma and William Walter were arrested last evening bv lOfhccr Lawler for being drnnk.
