Hearst Bevives Faith and Hope In Tre Democracy Vigorous and Fearless Editor of Seven Great Democratic Newspapers Sustains Principles of Conservatism and Justice In American Government and Combats Corporate Greed. By the Hon. JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES of Georgia. The movement in favor of W. R. Hearst for president is founded on the essentials of Democratic tradition and Democratic principles. The Democratic party in its incep tion, mission and. history has been a party of the people. Its work and its record have been one of supreme consid eration for the rights and interests of great bodies of citizens as opposed to the privileges of class or to the favorit ism expressed by legislative enactment for the few. The reason why Mr. Hearst has de veloped a strength so remarkable and so sustained in the ranks of this great party is because of the fact that he, above all the men now active in jour nalism or in politics, has been con sistently and vigorously true to these traditions and to these ideals. Vigorous, Eloquent, Successful. Without a break within the last decade and with all the combined forces of his great newspapers, scat tered in different sections of the re public, he has been the vigorous, elo quent and in most instances the suc cessful chanspion of the rights of the many against the few. He has fought corruption, he has opposed extrava gance, he has combated the greed of syndicates and the selfish propositions of corporations. It is the force of this record, which has had no change or variation, that has endeared the editor of the seven Democratic newspapers to the hearts and fixed him in the confidence of the people of this country. More than this, the strength of the Hearst movement is in the magnetic and rallying force of definiteness against uncertainty. He came to the front in a period of uncertainty, de moralization and general Democratic depression. While other leaders, how ever loyal and however interested, were dangling their plumes and holding their tongues in uncertainty and discourage ment, the young and vital editor of seven Democratic newspapers struck boldly out in behalf of the traditional principles of his party. Without a note of hesitation or uncertainty he rallied the fainting spirits of a dis couraged Democracy and inspired the rank and file of his party with new faith and new hope in the ultimate tri umph of principles which had found a champion bold, clear, definite and elo quent. It Is the old, old story-whenever a mass is demoralized the one clear and definite spirit in it finds the opportunity in seizing the reins of authority In the sublime mastery of his own purpose and of his own clearness and rallies the multitude about the one man who sees things clearly and dares to do them. N~o Factional Candidate. Mr. Hearst has a definite strength in almost every state in the Union and stronger than that of any individual candidate suggested by any faction of the Democratic party, and in most of the states of the Union stronger than the forces of all other candidates com blned. It is no reflection on the merits, capac ity or the service of these old and hon ored naines in'Democratic annals that this young and vital figure of Journal ism and politics should have gone so fast and so far to the front. They are doubtless as true and as loyal and as capable as he, but he has had the cour age and the clearance of initiative. The clarion notes he has been sounding for the last six years logically and In evitably have rallied the Democratic host around him. Unless I am greatly mistaken, and unless all the political signs of the times are at: fault, the early primaries of the spring will register a confidence In William Rarndolph Hearst as a na tional leader which will be an inspir ing augury of the Democratic success In the November election. With the ranks of labor for him al most as a unit, with the conservative American people looking to him with confidence and hope, with the sound business interests of the country com pelled by his own record and his own immense vested interests to respect him, and with the magnificent adminis tration of his journalistic eiluipment to sustain and diffuse his ideas, William Randolph Hearst is at this moment easily the most formidable candidate for the leadership of the Democratic party in the next national election. To Prose'cute Trusts. If house bill 11,SS8, introduced at the beginning of the Fifty-eighth session, becomes a law United States attorneys will be empowered, without instruc tion from the attorney general, to in stitute proceedings against trusts that unlawfully restrain trade and com merce. Circuit courts arc given juris diction to -prevent and restrain viola tions of the antitrust act and it will bo the duty of district attorneys to bring proceedings against offenders. The Hon. W. R. Hearst, representative from New York, Is the author of the bill. His First Shad. Abner Stone had lived "Inland" all his days and knew all there was~to be known about pork and beef as articles of food. His acquaintance .with the products of the sea, on the other. hand, was very slight. Once, however, when at the seashore he was introduced to shad and asked how he liked it. "Well," said the old farmer, with a brave attempt at a smile, "I calc'late I shell when I get kinder wonted to It, mebbe, but it does seem, jest at fust, ye know, consid'able like tryin''to eat a paper o' buttered pins!" Rarely Experienced. "We want a man for our information bureau," said the manager, "but he must be one who 'can'answer alk.sorts ofquestons and-not~lose-his-headi" "That's me," replied the- applicant.

Noted American Writer. Dencribes William Randioph Hearst. In these days. when much is being written about leaders in national life, a woman's estim::te of prominent indi viduals is always apropos. Helen M. Gougar, who has met nearly all of America's noted men and who has written numerous interesting stories and interviews, published the following in the Lafayette (Ind.) Call: "Who is William Randolph Hearst? "I will answer as I know the man. "Mr. Hearst is forty-one years old. "le was born in San Francisco. "He is the only child of the late United States Senator George Hearst and Phebe A. Hearst. "His ancestors were of North Caro lina and Virginia stock, his mother be ing a descendant of the Randolphs of Virginia. His mother is noted for her great charities, having endowed the University of California. "He is a most devoted son and co operates heartily with his mother in business and benevolent enterprises. "le was educated 'In the public schools of San Francisco and in Har vard college. "He is a man of fine physique, robust health, indomitable energy and great executive ability. He Is a 'business man' in every sense of the word. "He Is exceedingly temperate in hab its, never gambles or races horses, but is a devotee of the automobile. He once owned a yacht, but during the Spanish-American war it was fitted up as a cruiser at his expense, and he pre sented it to the government, then en listed himself as a private in the war and risked his life on the firing line before Santiago. "In April. 1903, he married Miss Milli .cent Willson of New York. There is a charming romance connected with this marriage. Miss Willson was a poor girl. Mr. Hearst met her and fell desperately in love with the vivacious miss. His affection was reciprocated. He requested her parents to put her in ' ia wILLAM RNDOPH RARS. colg /n ewudfrihtemn eyfo erhghs posbl/dcain Aferhe gadatonhetok7 e cleand hete woul afturnish the wond that she might have the culture of travel. She is a very beautiful wom an, with a charming personality. She is much beloved by the mother of Mr. Hearst. "Mr. Hearst is a strict moralist and holds women in high esteem. "His charities are unbounded. Ev ery winter he furnishes free coal, food and ralment to thousands of the suf fering poor of the tenement districts of New York, which city Is his pres ent residence. He sent out three re lief trains-one from New York, - an other from Chicago and another from San Francisco -- and hurried supplies to the Galveston sufferers. He gave large sums for the relief of the Jews in Russia; also to the victims of the St. Pierre volcano district. "As a newspaper nan he has had a remarkable career. He understands the business in every detail, from set ting type to - editorial writing and business management. His first ven ture was the San Francisco Examiner, which he took when it was almost de funct. Hie put life and enterprise into It until it has the largest circulation of any newspaper on the western coast He owns the Los Angeles Examiner, Chicago Examiner, a morning paper, and the Hearst Chicago American, an evening paper, the latter having the largest circulation of any Chicago daily. In New York he owns and runs the New York American, the Evening Journal and Das Morgen Journal. "He is a devoted advocate of the principle of 'equal rights for all; spe cial privileges for none.' He is an aggressive foe of the new form of hu man slavery known as 'trusts.' - "He prevented the waterworks of New York from going into the bands of a few monopolists known as the Ramapo robbers. He smashed the Ice rust of New York at an expense of $250,000 to himself, and the babies of the tenement districts call him 'blessed.' He killed the food trust and is now locked In deadly embrace with the coa] trust, at the head of which is Mr. Baer, who claims that the Almighty and he are in partnership to rob the firesides of America in the Interest of this most grasping combination. "Doubtless If he is nominated for president on the Democratic ticket he would cause these combinations to tremble in their boots. "With such a man for candidate on a wise and conservative platform the Democratic party will doubtless make a lively campaign that will put metal In Republican ranks." Selling and Buying. The department of commerce and labor recently published the statement that the average cost of living In Amer Ica has Increased 16 2-3 per cent. This statement is based undoubtedly on wholesale market quotations. Since Nov. 1, 1903, there has been an average reduction of wages throughout the manufacturing .centers of the east of 10 to 20 per cent Flour and other foodstuffs have Increased in price since the same date. The price of newspapers in the great cities has been reduced two-thirds In ffteen years. The cost of producing them has Increased. "Notwithstanding these conditions," says William Ran dolph Hearst, "my papers pay hand some profits, and wages are higher and the hours of toll reduced." Americans Want Them. Among the earnest and powerful supporters of the Panama canal and the greater navy for America none did more than Representative William Randolph Hearst to bring about the accomplishment of these two distinctly Ameicn npnojects.
