Favor Thru Familiarity.

It is here that our national institutions
and popular idiosyncracies differ from 9TH
er lands, and ancient days. We have a
prejudice in favor of personal familiar
ity, at least the belief of a certain famil-
lar knowledge of our candidates for office.
We must see them in the flesh. We must
hear the tones of their voice. We must
feel the grip Of their hands. Happily, the
owner of the various newspapers referred
to enjoys the means promptly, .decisively
to determine whether there is any such
person as. William. Randolph, Hearst. OF:
whether that mama style and title IS mere
ly myth. simple figure of speech. He,
or it, has the right to the floor, may any
time catch the speakers eye, and it is
odds with no takers that if he cares to
dispel the mystery surrounding tor him
he will have the ear of the house and
the country.
Since he has shown no backwardness in
announcing and. promulgating his candi-
dacy, let Mr.. Hearst proclaim in his own
person on the floor Of congress-, let him
fling his banner on the inner as on the
outer wall. Let him rise up and assert
himself let MIN invite all corners to enter
the lists and at his expense If they care to
amuse themselves, crying: Have at We,
all We bucks in the gallery and damned the
son Of a gun that first cries enough"
