The Brandon news. (Brandon, Miss.) 1892-1961, 1904-03-17
AN OPPORTUNITY TO WIN:

AT no time in the history of this
government has the democratic party
had better opportunity to win out,
provided they do not ignore the wish
es of the common people-the labor
ing masses.
Allmen will admit that New York
is the pivotal state, and without it
we cannot hope to win.
Politicians of all sections, demago-
CUES of all hues, may rise and remark
but the man and the only man, that
can electrify and soiidify the wage
earners, the farmers as we'll as the
artisans, is William Randolph Hearst,
of New York
Since the hour he entered journal :
ism, he has fearlessly, withou t
favor, fought the master trusts and
has spent his money, exerted his
brains in behalf of the toiling mil.
lions of this country.
Some of the wise-acres and schem-
ing would-be bosses in the democrat ic
ranks, are at their old game. tryi ng
to muddy the political waters by hold
ing out false prophets and other Moses
to lead us out of darkness. But the
people, the honest yeomanry OF this
broad land, has long since learned
that their siren voices have hollow
meaning and selfish tone, and the
people are now looking to the man
of the hour for deliverance from the
hands that have pressed down the
''crown of gold" upon their furrowed
brows.
Will not history and disaster ever
teach these political pirates that the
people. the long suffering people,
have stood the brunt of their political
treachery and plumbers until patience
has ceased to be a virtue' Will they
ever award to those who, in and out
of season, have stood by the people
amid the raging torrents of oppression
men who have sacrificed time, en-
ergy and money to keep back the
wolves who are ever ready to devour
the helpless masses, who have heroic
ally and manfully stood by the Demo
cratic party?
Let reason be restored and let us So
berly and wisely read the hand-writ
ing on the wall. The national DEM
ocracy has one more opportunity to
come into our power. The man who
can win is William Randolph Hearst,
and the momentous hour at the st.
Louis convention will decide our fate.
