A VAIL IND A WARNING FROM
HEADQUARTERS

All of Mr.. Hearst's newspapers on last
Monday sent up a wall and a warning
from their several headquarters which
clearly show that he Is arranging the
life preservers preparatory to jumping
overheard from the foundering Demo-
cratic ship-"Esopus.'
In a vitrolic editorial in each of his
papers, he laments, vociferates and reit-
crates that there is apathy. north, south,
east and west. among the Democratic
masses.

of Jefferson's best legacy to the Ameri-

his political philosophy of republican
government-"Equai and exact justice to

He argues that the managers of the
Democratic party have ignored the vital
questions involved in this campaign ana
given undue attention to minor matters.

masses have not been thrilled by them

He virtually admits tina the people
have turned deaf ears to all such pollt-
ical clap trap and party buncombe as
the party managers are INDUCING in. He
argues that such lines of attack on the
pat and e~ntrenched position of the Re-
khree months. ever since the st. Louis
convention adjourned and without effect.
He plainly sees that the puerile as

Mr.. Hearst entreats. aye, he demands or
the Democratic national COMMITTEES that
they shall abandon their Intellectual line
of tomfoolery and confne their campaign
to a vigorous warfare upon the methods
and practices of the trusts.
He says: The living issues AVE been
neglected.
THE platform has not been followed
in the conduct of the campaign, for it
gives greatest prominence and emphasis
to the trusts and the tariff. and these two

Have the party appeals to the country
recognized that all other issues are In

The apathy which marks the cam

With glee and satisfaction Mr.. Hearst

the national committee should make war
on the trusts and private monopolies.
