A Palpable Victory.

~oS NV" NC inanlleSJ tO the
most casual observer that William
IL. Hearst is powerful factor in
American politics, and that the
Democratic party cannot reckon
without him. Noteven Mr.. BRYAN
is a more masterful party magnate.
and, now that he is reinforced by
Iammany and the South, Mr..
Hearst stands forth the most COM
manding figure of his party and
the most dominant political per
sonality of the country. save Mr..
Roosevelt only.
The selection Of Hon. James NJ.
Griggs to captain the Democratic
campaign this year is a distinctive
and a palpable Hearst victory.
The issue was made-it was the
sole issue-and competition fled
from him as from the glance of
destiny" Mr.. Griggs is every
where known as the personal friend
and political partisan Of Mr.. Hearst.
That was the one point that was
made against his selection as the
leader in the field in the campaign
of 1906; but the opposition was so
weak that even its candidates took
TO the woods when Mr.. Grigg, en-
tered the lists. less than two weeks
before the selection was made.
And hence we speak adviSedly
when we say that the South is on
the Hearst band wagon. The
minority side of the tow houses of
Congress i the South, the cream
of the South. That minority has
spoken, and there is nothing un-
certain in its voice. The selection
of MIR. GriggS was the deliberate
act of the South, and Mr.. Griggs
is the most enthusiastic supporter
of MIR. Hearst in Congress.
Thus it can no longer be said
that the Hearst following is the
rabble. The tremendous vote cast
for him last year; the moral GER
tainty of all his friends and most
of his enemies that the majority
honestly given him was stolen
from him: the disgust of Tammany
with Mcclellan, and its overtures
TO Hearst; the rottenneSs of high
finance in Wall Street. and the
corruption of high politics at Al
bany these, and other matters
akin To them, make Mr.. Hearst the
foremost Democrat OF the North
and the logical candidate for Gov
ernor this Fall.
The support of the South is but
the mounting of the band wagon. .
IL Mr.. Hearst is nominated for
Governor for the campaign he will
be the leader of the national De-
mocracy; and if he is elected he
will continue that leadership. The
support the South has given him
in the selection of Mr.. Griggs adds
as much to his strength as it does
to his prestige.
If he should be Governor-de-
pend on it, that if he is not the
Democratic nominee for President
it will be because he will not be,
and not because he cannot be.
Mr.. Hearst is as much of doer
of things as Mr.. Bryan is a sayer
of things. and that is immense. -
