grafters working" him for all he would stand Not all the men who have favored Hearst for the presidency have been hired to do so. There are honorable exceptions. There are men who actually believed in him and who thought him a savior of his country and his party. But it is safe to say that the great majority of active workers for Hearst were active because they were paid salaries and expenses. At one time the friends of Richard Olney knew of sixty cheap politicians of Mas sachusetts who were on the Hearst pay roll, averaging $10 or $15 a day each, and doing almost nothing to earn their money. In New Jersey. Hearst was ''orked'' to the queens taste by a gang of grafters shrewd enough to make him believe he had a chance even after the state convention had assembled and shown by a test vote that it was over whelmingly anti-Hearst. In California, 1t is declared, game was deliberately set up by the leading politicians to make the first showing adverse to Hearst by small majority, compelling. him to put up thousands to buy the margin and win out By these means Hearst got Califor- mia, but the victory did not help him elsewhere. As some one has said, the immoral effect was unfavorable
 End of Picturesque Movement.
 Thus comes the ingorious end of the most extraordinary and picturesque move ment known to the history of American politics. Hearst's candidacy for the pres idspcy was born in the brain of Hearst himself. He fed it with his money. That was about all there was to it-his news papers and his bank book If the full his tory of this wonderful effort could be written it would make a startling tale story of how one nervy man set out to put nilnself into the White House. and by sheer force of cheek and intrepidity managed to make himself the most talked of man III America, and to plunge the democratic party in more than a score of states ard in a thousand counties into Q Kilkenny sort of fight, in which his followers wielded their sticks as Justify as their opponents. As MT. Hearst is re- ported to have said. he has had run for his money; and it was great fun while 1t lasted.
 There is serious side to the strange episode which cannot fail to attract the attention of thoughtful men. Rich, reck- less. daring and by his side some man or men with a genius for organization unsurpassed in the annals of our politics, Heat st has failed to buy the nomination of the democracy He has only hundred votes out os a total of 1000 in, the conven- tion-a pitiful showing for the expendi- tnre of $2O00 O00-$ -$20, GOO to the delegate. The lesson is that no man In America can be rich enough or bad enough to buy his way to the White House.

California. Her income is estimated at about a half-million d year, and she doubtless has been prudent enough to stop the outgo through the political bung hole before it was too late.
 Caused No Great Surprise. Though there is not much surprise at the polltlco-tinaneial collapse of the Hearst boom. It's completeness has caused d distinct shock. Mrs. Hearsts advisers urged her not to cut off her subscriptions to various schools and philanthropic en- terpr,ses till after the St. Louis conven- tion, arguing that such a thing could not be done without attracting attention and hurting her sons cause. Even those who thus advised her were not prepared for the sudden announcement that Hearst himself had reached the end of his rope and was pulling up with a jerk. The inference Is that when Mrs Hearst cried enough and shut the purse, there was nothing for her son to do but to follow her ex- ample.
 enc of Mir. Hearsts friends with whom I talked today said he has been expect irg this denouement for several weeks. He denied that the Hearst finances were in bad shape, and said the explanation of the change of tactics was that MT. Hearst had become satisfied he could not reach the nomination, nor even make satisfactory showing in the convention, pnd that 1t was useless to send good money after bad According to this gentle n,an Hearst is not a bad loser. lie taxes the whole thing philosophically says he has had a run for his money, that he has learned a lot and that he expects to be heard from in the future.
 Feels He Has Been Worked.
 One of MT. Hearst's confidants tells me the late candidates chief regret IS that he permitted himself to be worked so ea grantly by gangs of political grafters who have been hungry for his money. He realizes now that he has been imposed upon by men who pose as his friends ard admirers, but who were simply vulgar

New York, Nov. 25.-James Wallace.
iwho is charged with the theft of stock
certificates valued at nearly $4,000
from Edward NJ. Breitung, a Mar
quette, Mich, banker, by whom he
was employed as confidential secrc-
tary, has been arrested in Liverpool.
Nearly $25,0OO Of the sum alleged to
have been stolen from Breitung was
recovered. Arrangements are now be-
ing made looking to the extradition of
Wallace to this country. Wallace fed
from Marquette on October 30, leaving
word with his employer that he was
going to an institution for the cure Of
inebriety, in Illinois. When he did not
return, Mr.. Breitung began an inves-
tigation, with the result that $50
shares of Michigan Copper Mining
stock and 200 shares of United States
Steel preferred were found to be miss
ing. He at once reported the case to
the American Bankers Association,
with the result that a search was be-
gun for Wallace. 1t was found that
he took passage from Boston on the
Cunard liner Saxonia for Liverpool on
November - with a woman said TO
be his wife, under the name of Mr..
and Mrs. James Wilson.
II was subsequently learned that
Wallace had obtained letter of credit
in Boston for e44OO. When the steam
er reached England a detective was at
the pier. and the man and woman
who had gone over under the name Of
Wilson were followed until the man
was positively identified as Wallace.
Wallace was then taken into custody.
The e4400 and the money which Wal
lace had in his possession was re-
covered.
