DEALT FAIR
WITH HEARST
New York Newspapers Courteous "a
Business Rival in Campaign.

New York, Nov. 16.-In the recent
municipal campaign-the greatest the
world has ever seen-perhaps the
greatest that the world will see for
many years to comet is interesting
to note the spirit and the attitude Of the
various newspapers of the metropolis.
Paper Fair to Hearst.
Take it as whole the newspapers
have been extremely fair to their great
business rival, w. r. Hearst. Indeed,
there were many who thought that the
metropolitan newspapers would COM
bine to crush out Of existence their
opponent. No matter what the rea
for instance. the New York Sun, which
is supposed to be extremely friendly
to the corporate interests Of the city
The New York Sun quietly refused to
print thousands and thousands Of dol
lars worth of advertising attacking Mr..
It Is true that the Sun was opposed
to Mr.. Hearst editorially and every
other way and that it had q strong
leaning towards Jerome and a leaning
not quite so strong towards Mcclellan.
But the Sun. though arguing with its
readers gently against the propositions
advanced by Mr.. Hearst. was not bitter
in its attacks upon the municipal own
ership league.
Sun Bitter Against Murphy.
On the other hand Mr.. Hearst and
his newspapers were not more bitter
than the Sun in their attacks upon Mr..
Murphy, the leader Of Tammany hall.
And. Of course, 1t was Mr.. Murphy
who dictated the nomination Of Mayor
Mcclellan But the SUMS attacks on
Mr.. Murphy were not because ne pick
ed Mcclellan to run for mayor, but
because he refused to pick Jerome for
district attorney.
Had Way Of Coming Back.
Mr.. Hearst had. Of course. the sup
port of the Morning American and the
Evening Journal. his two leading pub
LEGATIONS. But he had more than these
dailies. The Stats Zeitung, the old
time old-line influential German pa
per, favored Mcclellan and attacked
Hearst. In the twinkling Of an eye he
came back at the proprietors Of the
Stats Zeitung. claiming that the
Stats Zeitung people were interested
in the election Of Mayor Mcclellan be-
cause they were anxious to sell their
building to the city. This became one
Of the interesting by-plays Of the cam
paign. But before It was over the peo-
pie and the politicians of the city
awoke to And that the "Morgen Jour-
nal" the evening edition Of the Amer
ican had greater circulation among
the Germans than any other German
paper in the city. Did the magazine
attack him Hearst could come back al
them with the Cosmopolitan. which he
recently acquired from John Brisber
Walker. and which certainly has 9
J large circulation. Thus it went all
along the line
