MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP,
representatives of ! the Municipal
Ownership League of the State met in
the lroquois today and nominated a
state ticket to oppose the Hearst DEM
ocratic ticket. 1t will be headed by
Joseph w. Cody. who was the Hearst
nominee for Sheriff. last fall in New
York 1t is the Intention of the league
to send Mr.. Cody on a tour through the

1t is not at all likely that the voice
of William ]. Bryan will be heard In
the Murphy Hearst campaign. In his
speech in the convention John N. Car
Isle asserted that the bargain between
Mr.. Murphy and Mr. Hearst sinvolved
the support of Tammany in Mr. Hearst's
campaign for rthe Presidency in 1908,
and there is not a Bryan Democrat In
the State who does not believe IT. Mr.
Hearst's refusal to permit Mr.! Bryan
to be Endorsed in the platform and his
substitution of a mild Endorsement OF
the glittering generality type are re-
garded as corroborating Mr. Carlisle
statement of the situation.
THE HEARST BARREL.
Mr.. Hearst's allies In the convention
are engaged today in deciding how
much money will be r9dufteu TO elect
him. They place his contribution to
the campaign fund at s2.000.O00.- They
admit this seems like high figure,

Hearst cannot be regular in New

is more important he is not likely to

Hearst league is based on a revolt
against political bosses, yet he was
