Aroused by the interview given out by
Judge McCabe, John w. Kern, Of this city,
yesterday turned on Hearst and the
Hearstites and gave them a sample OF
caustic criticism that will engage their
attention for some little time. In the
course of his interview Mr.. Kern said:

the history of the Republic by the open
and unblushing effort of a multi-million-
aire to purchase the presidential nomina-
ton. Our State has been overrun with

One of the most amusing incidents of the
day occurred late in the afternoon in the
