THE TALK ABOUT HEARST,
Ie11o" Journalist Receives support
Which Causes Old Line DEM
Ocrats to Worry.

More Hearst sentiment is being re-,
vealed in the country 1T large than the
so-calIed conservative democrats like.
Over half of the members of the demo-
cratic state committee Of Kansas are
Hearst men. The same aspirant is said
to have Wyoming, Idaho and several
of the other states in the Rocky
mountain region and the Pacific coast
on his side. The fact. too, that Bryan
is said to be favorable to him, as
against any other aspirant except him.
self, says the ST. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat, is calculated to bother the Cleve-
land section of the party.
Some of the conservative democrat
ic papers are ridiculing Hearst, and
say that he intends to use the tOot-
ball tactics in the convention, and try
to get the nomination with sudden
rush. These tactics are not quite So
new as they may seem to be. but it IS
unquestionably true that Hearst's
candidacy is being managed in difs
ferent way from that of any Other
presidential aSpirant whom the cOun-
try has had. Not many serious per
sons thought a few months ago that
Hearst would De mentioned at all in
the convention. A large majority OF
the sane people of the country still, CT
all parties, think that he has not the
faintest chance to get the nomina-
ton
1t is undeniabe. however, that
Hearst is developing strength which
gives the old-line democrats cause for
their anxiety. Until a week or two
ago his own newspapers in several
of the country's cities were his only
boomers Since the meeting of the
democratic national committee, men,
ton of him in connection with the
candidacy appears in other papers.
Politicians in different states talk Sc
riously about him as a possibility OF
desirability. The fact that he stam-
peded the national committee and
frightened all the other aspirants
counts for something i'll his favor
among many democrats who are dissat-
isfied with all the men who have hither-
| to been mentioned in connection with
| the nomination. That he vii! be pre-
sented to the ST. Louis convention as
a fit person on whom: TO beStow the
nomination prize is now certain. The
chances are that he will get enough
votes to make the older and more Sc
r:Cus leaders begin to despair Of the
| outlook for the democracy

rejection of Organism in candidate and
