he has always stood for Democratic
principles, and no one has worked
harder for party success. Not only
have his journals since their establish
ment thundered throughout every ma
tional campaign, but he has been one
of the most liberal contributors to the
cause and personally organized through
out the Union and conducted an asso-
citation Of congressional clubs for the
purpose Of electins a Democratic con-
gress.
Labor can expect nothing from the
party in power. Still, those Of the toll
ers now Of the Republican rank and
file must be given strong reasons for
making change.
Having taken small part in the
canvass Of Mr.. Hearst for congress, I
was made to know how labor regarded
him. do not alone judge from the
many hundreds Of Endorsements he re-
ceived from labor organizations all
over the Union, but also from the vol
untary aid Of great labor leaders desir-
ing to show their devotion Ey increasing
his majority I need not cite the Hon.
Eugene SchmitZ, twice elected labor
mayor Of San Francisco, who crossed
the continent and made q strong and
brilliant fight for Nj. Hearst. He is
Republican, but a labor champion first,
and he wished thus to testify to the
great work Of Mr.. Hearst in the cause
Of labor. And there are many like him.
Were Hearst named for president la
Dor leaders would flock to him again
and thus assure his election as easily
as they did that immense majority Of
! $4,000 rolled up for him in his congress
sional district.
Who else can so unite these toilers?
Yet Hearst is not an enemy to capt.
tai nor to corporations. He believes in
both. He has never attacked either as
such. Only their abuses have called
for their condemnation. His position
on this subject was we'll stated in his
acceptance Of the nomination for con-
gress In a workingman's district. 1t is

lie believes in every legitimate en-
largement and Improvement Of capital,
and that labor and capital have COM
mon interests so commingled and inter-
woven that one cannot be injured with
out the other suffering. It is the un-
| just distribution Of the products Of the
joint operation Of capital and labor, and
the efforts Of criminal combinations to
absorb Of such products all but a scant
living for the toiler, against which he
protests.
Hearst is one Of the fnanciers who
would suffer from financial depression
in this country. His businesses are
large and ramifying and Of the kind
that must be affected by financial dis
turbance He is in every sense Of the
word one Of our greatest captains Of
industry.
What do we greatly need in any
president at this particular time in our
country's history? 4 strong, positive
business man with extraordinary exec
utive ability.
The daily disturbances in the de-
partments Of government show that
underneath there is seeth1ng mass
Of incapac:ty or corruption and that
the methods long in vogue are crude,
imperfect and costly. Abuses incident
to long continuance in power Of one
party render the introduction Of a
thorough business system necessary.
The management Of the affairs Of
the government requires much more
than an able jurist or a resource1ul
politician; it requires a chief exec
utive in fact as well as in name. Not
an enemy of Hearst-and he could not
redress wrongs and pursue evil doers
without having them-but will admit
that in his business career be has
keen insight, calm judgment and an
executive ability seldom equaled.
Hearst has handled and created mil
lions and, to his credit be it said, with
out a blunder.
Is he not a safe man? Who IS safer
Of all the aspirants?
Mr.. Hearst is not lawyer, nor IS he
an orator, but be is thinker and
doer, a gatherer Of facts and judge
Of them.
He believes in equality before the
law. He also believes that social
equality depends on factors beyond
the reach Of legislation and official rec
ognition and that herein the utmost
liberty Of personal choice and inclina-
ton must be guaranteed the ind1vid-
ual; that an ehdeavor to force such
equality upon q people IS contrary to
our laws and is an outrage on decency.
His rcbuke to the president, one Of
the first protests made, is replete with
strong reasoning. Yet no colored man
would ever appeal to Hearst and be
denied full hearing and fair treat
ment
In fact, if elected president, Mr..
Hearst would enforce the laws, re-
move or cause to be removed the out
rageous burdens Of the trusts and tar
if and give to the country one Of the
best and strongest and most success
full business administrations 1t has
ever had
If nominated be cannot be defeated,
and we shall truly have government
Of the people, by the people and for
the people, and not government Of
the people, by the trusts and for the
trusts!
