never was a better time for making
straight, fearless fight on both the
old parties. BY all means make the
effort" His Endorsement Of Hearst is
a personal matter and contains no
counsel to Watson admirers. The
Independent has hish regard for
Dan Corcoran, for example, but that
does not bind it to entertain the same
for all his friends.

If the peoples independent party
has a desire to elect governor for
