BRYAN IN new
YORK POLITICS
Nebraskan Takes a Hand for
Hearst Trying to Offset lnflu-
ences of Root and Croker.

NEW YORK, Nov. BIN the political
! situation in this state fresh interest
was aroused by the publication of a
letter from William ]. Bryan to Bird
s.. Coler, borough president of Brook
] Ign, in which the writer expressed the
hope that all Democrats would support
William Il. Hearst for governor.
This thing and the further fact that
both Charles Il. Hughes and William
r. Hearst. the candidates for governor
on the Republican and Democratic
Independence league tickets respective
ly, were once more on the stubbornly
contested ground of the city of Greater
New York has brought the political in
terest to a fever pitch.
Mr.. Hughes arrived from Utica early,
but Ell route be made a stop at Catskill.
At Utica he made three speeches, one
in a hall and one each at the works of
the two large Industrial concerns,
where he spoke directly to many thou
sands of workingmen. appealing to
them to support his party in the COM
ing elections.
His last speech outside the city of
Greater New York was made at Cats
kill, where he addressed an enthusi-
astic meeting.
Mr.. Hearst was forced to rest during
the day because of the serious condi-
ton of his throat after long speech
making. He has resumed his labors,
however, and was whirled aboutJ
Brooklyn and Long Island in an auto
mobile for speeches at many places.
His first appearance was at Watsofs
theater, Brooklyn, where an enthusi-
astic crowd awaited him. Mr.. Hearst's
voice showed the effects of his vigor-
Gus campaign up state, and when he
commenced his first address he found
difficulty in making himself heard.
Mr.. Hearst found voice enough to
pay his respects to Richard Croker,
whose recent cablegram to Senator p.
Ii. McCarren was construed as a con-
demnation of Tammany Halls indorse-
ment of Mr.. Hearst's candidacy. rT2
Secretary Elihu Root, who attacked
Mr.. Hearst at Utica, also came in for a
severe arraignment. Mr.. Croker and
Secretary Root, the speaker declared,
had furnished the most convincing evil
dence by their recent expressions that
the corporation elements of the
Democratic and Republican parties
were united in their opposition to him
because of his onslaught upon illegal
business combinations.
Il am proud of the enemies l have
made, and | am prouder of none than
| am of Elihu Root, Boss Croker and
Pat McCarren," declared Mr.. Hearst,
"for the enemies | have made are your
enemies.
1T is natural that Mr.. Root, who de
Tended Boss Tweed, the most corrupt
politician of his day, should join hands
with Boss Croker, the most corrupt
politician of the present day, in sup
port of Mr.. Hughes, the man their cor
poration masters insist shall be elected
to office In spite Of the will of the peo-
pie"
AT Visitation hall. in Brooklyn, be-
fore Mr.. Hearst arrived the audience
unanimously adopted resolutions dis
approving of the action of President
Roosevelt in permitting his views on
New York state politics TO be made
public by Secretary Root.
The resolutions were introduced by
Alfred J. Boulton, register of Kings
county, and after quoting from the
secretary's speech at Utica conclude:
1--WE deem it due to the dignity OF
American citizenship that we should
resent this fragrant attempt at federal
dictation to the electorate of this state
and that we should make known to our
servant in Washington our view of his
Interference
Briefly, the resolutions called atten-
ton to the f2ct tl21 thorcard.1 G. L.
citizens of New York. without regard
to party, favor the election of Mr..
Hearst and pointed out that not more
than six months ago another member
OF the cabinet OF which Mr.. Root is a
representative publicly thanked Mr..
Hearst for his work In securing the
evidence upon which the New York
central railroad and it's officers have
since been convicted in the United
States courts for Relating. cd
One of the speakers at the princinal
Hughes meeting in Brooklyn was Os-
car 5. Straus. who, ii is expected. will
soon become Il member Of President
Roosevelt's cabinet.
