TIME TO BE DECIDED UPON.
.Visited the Jurist at His Home
at EsopuR and Is Glimmcd
by His Pers6n-
alitr.
Harry B. Hawes returned from Fopus,
N. Y yesterday, where he went as a
member of the Parker Notiflcatlor Com
mitter, with the new a that Judge Parker,
the Democratic nominee, would tllt St
Louis before the close of the Exposition.
Mr. Hawes was. not prepared to say
when Judge Farkcr wottld come. "He Is
considering what would be the roost con
venient and enjoyable time." raid Mr.
Hawes, who visited Judge Parker at his
country home on the Hudson River.
"Judge Parker's lit," Mr. Mawes con
tinued, ''will not be made In a political
way, however, and, thereforo. he will
make no political speeches. When he
comes, he will make it a pleasure trip ex
clusively. While Mr. Hawes Is In doubt as to the
date ot the Democrat lo presidential candi
date's coming, he was particularly anx
ious that newspapers or members of the
American Bar Association make an effort
to suggest a time for the visit, which
would prove most interesting for a man
of Judge Parker's calling, and extend a
welcome to him.
New York Day, October 4. and several
days preceding It, are considered as excel
lent and suitable periods. The American
Hsr Association meets at the World's
Fair, September 2T. 28 and 29, and the
World's Congress of Lawyers on Septem
ber 29 and 90 and October J. The events
attendant upon two such leatherings, it
is believed, would offer great Incentives
to Judge Parker to visit the Fair at that
time, besides riving him several days to
Mo" tha Fair and be presen'st the exer
cises at the New York State" building be
fore returning home.
Mr. Hawes returned from New York a
stanch supporter of Judge Parker and an
enthusiastic admirer of his personality
and home life.
NOT TJNDEIWTOOD.
"People of the West do not understand
him," he said. "He la & big roan. HIb
personality Impresses Uself upon you Im
mediately, and two hours' conversation
makes you not only his friend, but his
stanch supporter.
"Hie household Impresses one with the
Idea that be was being entertained by an
old-fashioned Virginia or Kentucky gen
tleman. "He Is pictured In the Western mind as
an austere, cold Judge, and more a stndent
of books than of men. A knowledge of his
past snd a vision of his prefint life shows
this Impresst-m o be lncorrstt.
"That Judas Parker w'll iB)e to St.
Ixjula I am sure. Certainly, If the wishes
ot the gracious ladles of his household
have weight he will come."
Mr. Hawes Is confident that Judge Park
er will carry New York. Of the Empire
State situation, be scys:
'That he will carry New York there is

MR. FOLK MAKES REPLY
TO SENATOR STONE'S LETTER
Inferences Offensive to Democrats, According to the Circuit Attor
ney, Distinguish the Document Flat Denial nf Conferences
on Candidate's. With Some Allusion to the Course Purued by
he Leading Candidate at Jefferson Cit Democrats Kegret
the Impulse Prompting Senator Stone's Letter.
WILL MR. STONE SUPPORT
"INSULTS THE UNITED DEMOCRACY,"
SAYS FOLK OF STONE'S LETTER
".s-eii-itor William J. Stum- Instill- the united Democracy of his State
by tlu MigKcsllon that any candidate on a duly nominated Stale ticket will
not support the other candidates ail tlie nominee of one convention.
"Senator Mow, by broad inference, .-marks the head of the ticket chosen
by bis own party, an unparalleled instance of political irrej-nlarity. HN
two-column tirade can have no other purpose than to embarrass the parfy
that has placed him in hi high position.
"The Jeff ei son City contention was a contention of the people. No
candidate was nominated because of any alliance, agreement, understandinc
or combine of any nature. I am on record in half a dozen Instances ns
e-atin-r that I -would have no part iu dictating the nominee of a convention
of Democrats with minds of their own and wills of their own. The ticket
nominated was not chosen by me nor by any individual, but was the choice
of the Democracy of .MNsoun. Kvery h.idcr in lh.it contention glve hie
hearty xupiwrMo the tUkct.
"This suggests a question of minor importance that may possibly interest
good Democrats at thin time-
"Will Senator Stone follow the Ie.nl of Mr. Cook and Mr. Hawes ami
other men who took a hand in tile .leffeison City convention and pledge
himself to support the ticket. Including the head of the ticket? Or. will he
continue to support the ticket by assailing iti" Mr. Folk's Statement to
The Republic.
United State' Senator William J. Stone,
in a letter sent to the Kansas City Times
and Star, for publication esterday. eek
to place before t!w public certain phae
of a conference of Democrats held ntthe
Southern Hotel August S At that confer
ence Senator Cockrell. Mr Folk. MrMc
Leod, Mr. Vandiier, Mr Cook, Judge Ev
ans and Senator Stone were present.
In the course of the meeting there arose
a question cf whether Mr. Folk should
make a declaration In fat or of the entire
Democratic ticket. Senator Stone say
that this declaration was promised and Is
not forthcoming. Mr. Folk nad-prevlouI
and has since declared that it is unprec
edented that one candidate should be
asked'to dlscusi the merits of another, the
assumption being. In honest politics, that
men nominated on a ticket are compelled
to support the nominees and the platform.
Senator Stone, Iu his letter to the Kan
Ws City paper, also sas that Mr. FolK
really had dealri-d the nomination of
Cook and Allen, and had gone so far as
to propose an alliance. The chief question
ral-ed b the Slone letter, aside from the
natural Inquiry as to the purpose of the
document. Is that of the alleged alliance
and what It amounted to.
The friends of Mr. Folk insist that all of
the candidate s public utterances dis
claimed, as plainly as words could speak,
any feellns, of a right to combine for or
agalnm any candidate for a place en the
State ticket. Mr. Folk, In a statement is
sued last nlgnt, not only repeat this as
sertion, but takes Senator Stone severely
to tatk for opening an attack upon a reg
ularly nominated candidate of the Demo
cratic party.
Mr. Folk in his statement sas that his
record as to the candidacy of other men
than himself is perfectly clear Jle polnu
to the fact that on numerous occasions he
declined to Interfere either for or against
any man who was seeking a place on the
State ticket and that he maintained tills
position to the end of the convention, in
sisting that the Democracy of Mirsourl
needed no dictator and that other candi
dates had exactly the rarnit rights lfoie
the people as the men who were seekln:
the place at the head of lh- tl'.ket
There is a general feeling of regie; ;h it
Senator Stone should at this time raise
irrelevant Issues within the party lMie
that may be used for the purpose of dis
tracting the public from the central ques
tion that of good government as repre
sented by the Folk Idea
Mr. Nelson W. MoLeod, who was the
manager of Mr. Folk's preliminary cam
paign, said last night that he did not re
gard Senator Stone's attack upon the can
didate as a subject for lengthy discussion.
"The party has spoken," said Mr. Mc
Leod. "which means that all good Demo
crats will get together for the support of
the men who have been named by an en
thusiastic, united convention.
" "I am surprised that Senator Stone
should at this time devote so much news
paper Bpa;e to at Impossible contention
which amounts to an attack upon the bead
of the ticket, which all good Democrats
are supporting, and will upport at'the
polls In November."

In the voluntary effort of his colleague.
Friends of Secretary of State Sam B
Cook condemn the letter. They point out
that only- Mr. Folk and Mr. Cook will
bear the brunt of the attack.
Friends or Folk assert that the attack
is a long-headed effort of the Senator to
hurt a pofslble opponent for senatorial
"honors four years hence, at no matter
what cost to the ticket. Still others, who
are candidates and nominees for office in
