Hughes's remarks on government by the
New York American. Mr.. Hearst said:
Mr.. Hughes says that he does not believe in
government by the New York American. and
i agree with Mr.. Hughes in this. l do not
think that any private citizen like the pub
Usher of the New York American should be

rations against which they should proceed.
These public officials often neglect the inter-
ests Of the people and consider only the inter-
ests OF the powerful corporations, and they
often refuse to protect the rights and
property of the people, and then it becomes
necessary for a private citizen to step forward
and take up the case Of his fellow citizens.
