kins had not played his mastery game
The Hearst men were so badly alarmed
by Hopkins program that, even though
they knew their own strength. they were
afraid to trust to 1t.
They tried bluff and buster first, and
that not availing. at the last moment. they
humbly surrendered to Hopkins on the lat
ter's promise that "if they would be good
they should have their instructions for
Hearst" They threw over Dunlap and
conceded everything to Hopkins, including
the complimentary reference to Bryan and
the Kansas City platform that they de-
sired Incorporated in the platform for the
sake Of Hearst instructions.
Hopkins carried through his program
chairman ruled the convention absolutely
with the gavel. He first unseated 219
Hearst men to make his victory more cer-
tain. Even then on the only roll call his
chairman granted the convention the vote
against him was more than two to one.
The Hearst men got their instructions.
but now Hopkins smilingly announces that
1t is hollow victory for them since Hearst
stands no chance of winning at St Louis.
and he cites a ruling Of the last national
convention to the effect that instructions
are not binding on a delegation after the
first ballot.
The great majority of the delegates
chosen are Hopkins men, and strongly
opposed to Hearst, and it seems morally
certain that they will not cast more than
one ballot for Hearst.
Thus has the overwhelming sentiment
for Hearst among democrats of this stete
been blocked by She astuteness and trickery
of one man.
