figures compare with final returns OF 49,
100 failures and s1A,2.2,311 liabilities in
the previous year, while losses were .tlll
heavier In 1903. In fact. 1T is necessary
to go back to 1899 to find a year when the
total defaulted Indebtedness was smaller
than in 1900, and no other year makes as
favorable an exhibit In over two decades.
The real Significance. of this statement
cannot be grasped unless II Is understood
that the number OF firms in business has
increased almost steadily, and the
amount of money involved has also risen
beyond all previous records. so that the
mortality would have actually diminished

previous years. But with insolvencies

HEARST.
Repudiates Platform and Runs a Muck
With All Parties.

William Randolph Hearst.
Democratic nominee for govern
or of New York. has gone done
and did it several times better
than John B. Weaver ever
dreamed of.
He says: I'm Jefersonian
Democrat and as 1 understand
it, is practically the same as a
Lincoln Republican. I believe
in public ownership of public
utilities. believe in the pro-
tective principal for Infant In
dustries."
And then he says: Il will
run in this campaign, not mere
ly representing the Independ-
ence league, not merely the
Democratic party, but, l hope,
the people of the state of New
York. 1 appeal to them and
make my pledge to them 10 re-
tain for them the rights they
still have and to restore to
them the liberties they have
lost"
And the Quincy Herald says
editoriaIly:
William Randolph Hearst an
nounces that he is in favor of
protection, imperialism and
government or municipal owner
ship. The Democratic platform
in New York specially oppose
these tenets. Bro. Heart is en-
tirely Indifferent as to what the
platform says. but where does
the Democracy come in?
