DEMOCRATS OPPOSE HEARST.

The Democratic state convention which met
at Wichita this week to select delegates to the
national convention practically turned down
the Hearst men, who were given seven dele
gates "for the sake of harmony" The con-
vention was controlled by Jim Orr aud other
corporation men who are working for Parker,
gold-bug Democrat and former supporter of
Cleveland.
The Democrats who opposed Hearst claimed
that they did so because there was strong evil
dence that Hearst was using money to secure
delegates. This is certainly amusing. The
idea of Orr and his ilk turning down. anything
that looked or smelled like money is excruciat-
ingy funny. Nobody believes they would.
The fact is that the Cleveland. Parker Hill
German gang controls the crowd that domi-
mated that convention. We do not believe,
however, that the rank and file of the party
endorses that crowd, and when the big split-up
takes place at St. Louis, there will be division
OF the sheep from the goats.

HEARST'S VICTORY.

Special dispatch to the AGIrAroR, from New York.
New YORK, April o.-The supreme court at
Washington has rendered decision in favor of
William Randolph Hearst in his suit against
the coal trust. The court has decided that Mr..
Hearst, as citizen, has right to do what all
of the Republican officials at Washington said
was out of the question, namely, prosecute and
expose the trust
President Bair and his partners in the fuel
monopoly must now produce records and give
testimony which they refused to give at the
hearing.
The decision of the supreme court means
that Mr.. Hearst has kept his promise to swat
the coal trust.

BOWMAN FOR CONGRESS.

A number OF Populists have suggested the
name of Noah l.. Bowman for congressman
from the Second district, and many of his
friends insist that he make the race again.
As is we'll known, MI. Bowman was the can
didate against Bowersock two years ago, and he
conducted magnificent campaign Having
become we'll acquainted with the district, an
other campaign would be much easier, and we
believe that the united support of the forces
opposed to the Republican candidate (be he
Bowersock or Allen would result in Mr.. Bow
mans election.
Mr. Bowman's ability is known and recog'
nized all over the district, and, should he allow
his name to be used as candidate, there is no
doubt that he would be nominated But what
he will do about it we do not know at this
writing.

BURTON RECEIVES HIS SENTENCE.

Senator Burton received his sentence, We'd
nesday, for receiving fees illegally from the
Rialto Grain and Securities Company. Judge
Adams gave him sentence of six months in
Jail and fined him 81 500.
Attorney Judge Krum Immediately filed
bill of exceptions in the case and offered bond
for $40, 900, which was accepted. The case
will now be appealed to the United States cir
cult court of appeals, the highest tribunal in
the matter.
To us, the sentence seems extremely light,
considering the enormty OF the crime. He cer-
tainly should have received more severe SEN
tence Probably six months in Jail would be
as much of disgrace as term in the peniten'
tiary, but it would not be SO severe. But
Jail sentence is not accompanied by hard labor,
while penitentiary sentence would mean hard
work-which is something that Burton knows
nothing about. Such sentence would have
seven him this experience, and would have
made him useful as we'll as ornamental.
Burton is certainly lucky dog.

Cleaning Needed.

From the Kansas Democrat.
Kansas needs to do some house cleaning.
The questions that should be pressed home to
every Kansan this year are these
Do you want another state administration
that will be ruled by the trcksters, grafters,
boodlers and professional politicians.
Do you want state administration that takes
in ]. Ralph Burton, summed by his colleagues
in the United States senate and convicted by

Do you want state administration that at
tempts to force down the Threats of the voters
Tom Kelly, the defaulting eXtreasurer of Mi
ami county? Will you have him again, with
his fingers on the state treasury?
These are the things the Republican machine
in Kansas stands for in this campaign.

Mrs. Potter Palmer and other society leaders
of Chicago gave musical "beneht,' Tuesday

fund No political significance is to be at
tached to tie benefit, the organizer pointing
out that Red Cross societies of both nations
extend aid not only to their own wounded, but
to the enetny's wounded, as we'll, and the fact
that this particular aid is to be sent to Russia
does not mean that it is formal expression OF

POLITICIANS AGAINST HEARST.

The politicians are opposed TO HearSt-hot
only the Republican politicians, but the Demo
Gratis, as we'll. They are afraid of him, and
are leaving no stone unturned to accomplish
his defeat. They are undertaking to turn the
people from him through ridicule. 1t has even
been said of him that he is almost devoid OF
sense; that he cannot make speech, nor carry
on conversation.
There are many smart men who cannot make
a speech, and some who cannot carry on con-
versation. Mr. Hearst may be one OF these.
AT any rate, his management of his extensive
business interests proves that he is man pos
sessed Of brains.
But, the reason why the politicians are OPP
posed to Hearst is that he is opposed to trusts,
corporation and political combines, and has
waged a relentless warfare against trusts and
political corruption. He has done these things
at his own expense-has spent thousands OF
dollars in bringing big criminals to justice.
His papers have always advocated the cause OF
the common people as against the capitalist
class, and he has proven himself the friend of
the laboring class.
MI. Hearst is probably not fully informed
along all lines, especially the money question,
but he was warm supporter of Bryan, and
endorsed Organism"
Will Carleton, in his magazine, Every Where,
says of Hearst:
civilian X. Hearst is the most singular OF
all the candidates for nomination. He is at
present member of the house of representa-
tives at Washington
"Hearst is apparently seh.nomnated can
didate, having for some time used his newspa-
pers and his money largely toward that purpose.
Modesty does not prevent him from exploiting
his own claims under his own name, and his
candidacy is really unique in the history OF
American politics. He sends agents all over
the country to boom his claims, and altogether
there has been strong influence in his favor.
He will go into the Democratic convention with
quite good many delegates pledged to him,
and will have to be reckoled with
"He has always, in his various papers, adj
vocated the cause of the laboring man, and has
been the uncompromising foe of the trusts:
and this will give him certain power he
will be opposed however, by all the leading
politicians of his party

was the result of the first boss-buster movement

the present disgrace OF the state. The same
men who elected Burton are the men who
are posing as reformers to-day. They defeated
Bailey for governor and nominated man who
was Burton man.
