A Possible President.
One of tho most eloquent md inras
s;onrd speeches ever delivered iii Il ma.
tional convention was that. of IIcn.
Thomas N. Patterson of Colorado ut
ST. Louis in 1883, nominating General
John G. Elack for vice president IL

cvitab!e that "tiae old Roman would

began by describing the Thnrman
movement rs .'aeeloud no bigger than Il

Iwisll to suggest to president malers
that there is another clcHd rot bigger
I than q mans hand now which Is liable
to grow and grow and grow until 1T
cnvclops tho land, and TINT is the
movement 10 give William Randolph
Hearst the Democratic nomination for
president. IIe IL easily possible pres
idcnt. 1t would not be overstating tic
case much to say that lie is a probable
president.
II he is nominal ted he can be elected.
He has always been n consistent Dem
ocrnt. lie is friend to the poor. He
owns and edits three great metropoli-
tan papers in three great doubtful
states. he is the champion of organ.
lied labor. and. what Is moro. organ.
lied labor recognizes him as Its cham.
pion.
The Labor Compendium, one Of the
organs of organized labor, is enthusi-
astic and vehement, in its support OF
him. Suppose the Democrats should
nominate Hearst and the labor unions
should support him. Then what? Why,
he would be elected hands down. Sup
pose another case. Suppose the labor
organizations should conclude to go In
to politics in a body, should hold a
convention and should nominate
Hearst before the Democratic national
convention meets. Can any sane man
doubt what the Democratic convention
would do? Unless fit for bedlaln Ii
would nominate him by acclamation,
and he would be elected with a whoop.
But he's young! Oh. yes, he's young!
So Is Colonel Theodore Roosevelt. But
Hearst is younger than Roosevelt and
all the veteran candidates and Their
friends will swear that he is toe
young. Hearst can't help being young,
! and it may be consolation to those
who deem him too young to remember
| that he will ontgrow that fault. Since
"a terrible cornet of horse named VIII
liam Pitt dressed down Sir Robert
Walpole for referring to his youthful
ness 1t hasn't been considered much OF
a sin to be young.
suppose that Hearst Is not bother
ing his head much about the presi-
dency, as he is enjoying his honeymoon
in Europe, but his friends IRE quietly
at work.
Roosevelt and Hanna.
Washington dispatches say that Pres
ident Roosevelt is insisting that Sen
ator Marcus A. Hanna shall retain the
craftsmanship Of the national commit.
tee and conduct the next campaign. II
Senator Hanna complies It will be q
hopeful sign Of the millennium, for he
will be practically obeying the injunc-
ton contained in the sermon on the
mount. which runs in this wise: t'Who-
,rer shall smite thee on the right cheek
turn to him the other also" Seeing Is
believing, and we will believe that Sem
ator Hanna will manage Colonel Roose-
velt's campaign when he Is actually
engaged in 80 doing, and not till then,
