which both of the other parties have
been exploited by bosses to their per-
sonal advantages" Scores of papers
believe that the popular indignation
aroused by the insurance scandals
gave him wide but only ephemeral
popularity. ANY stick is good enough
to beat dog with" as one paper ex-
presses it. HE represents" says the
Nashville Banner Dem.), IAN element
found in all large cities, but which
does not represent the thoughtful
American people" AS the New York
Worker (Socialist) explains it, what
was really behind Hearst was not the
will Of the people, but their ignor-
ance and Incidence, their readiness to
cast the burden of their own eman-
cipation on the shoulders of a lead
err" Hence, says the Chicago Chron-
icle (Rep.):
Counting them all (the causes) to-
gether, as they Individually should be,
one can see the genesis of the Hearst
vote and can entertain a reasonable
hope that it can never again coalesce
| in one aim"
But in spite of differences of opin-
ion as to Mr.. Hearst's prospects for
greater power and further honors, all
seem to agree with the Chicago Jour
nal (Rep.) in saying that he is evil
IDENTIFY in politics to stay" Says the
Nashville Banner Dem.), his extra
ordinary methods of self-eXploitation
and sensational propaganda make nat
ural the assumption that he will again
essay the role of national leader" for
he has "the audacity and nerve to at
tempt the impossible" The charge
that the movement back of Hearst
carries the "red flag" seems to be los
ing force. The Cleveland Plain
Dealer Qnd. Dem) maintains that
the Hearst vote was not an anar
chistic outbreak and not a socialistic
tidal wave" and the Indianapolis
Star (Rep.) declares that ut would
be folly to assume" it was such.
What will be the consequences of
Mr.. Hearst's appearance as an active
factor in politics remains an open
question. The Worker (SocialisD, OF
New York, asserts that MIR. Hearst
has let loose forces that he will be
unable to control, and that this strad-
ding demagogue may take from us
today, but we shall take from him to-

lister and Leader (Rep) cautions us
that if the conservative classes do
not want Mr.. Hearst in control OF
the destinies of this country" they
Should lose no time in setting up
for themselves a true democracy, and
work it without fear or favor" 1t is
of course expected that whatever in
terest Mr.. Hearst will take in ma
tional politics will be as Democrat.
But to accomplish anything of i'm
portance, as such, he will have to re-
organize the party and get possession
of the predominating faction. Many
papers, as shown above, believe that
he can easily succeed in this under
taking; others express doubts. Among
these may be cited the Nashville Ban
ner Dem.), which says:
"The organization of national
radical party, under whatever name,
is not improbable with leaders like
Mr.. Hearst and Mr.. Bryan, who has
insisted upon the formation of a rad
ical democracy, but such an organiza-
ton, because of the many incompati-
BILE elements which might be brought
upon special aDpeal into the organiza-
ton, would be constantly tending to
factionalism and to the breaking up
into smaller parties. At any rate,
whatever may come to Mr.. Hearst's
movement the majority Of the Ameri-
can peOple are for sound safe and
