Hearst Shown Up as Corporation
Man by the Eastern Press.

n n r. HEARST is distressed by the
NH charges leveled at him in this
vi campaign. He complains that
he is not treated fairly. To be
charged as a corporation man when he
has for years been denouncing cor
porations of all kinds seems to him
most unlxind To have the charges
proved, to have it shown that each
one of the Hearst newspapers is ad-
ministered by a corporation, of which
he is the chief stockholder; that they
have been worked into a trust under
the form of a holding company con-
trolling all the stock corporations; to
have 1t spread before the State that by
such cunning device he evades the pay
ment of taxes and escapes personal LA
bility for the conduct Of his business
that suits for damages, for the coilec-
ton of claims and for prosecutions for
libels are made difficult, if not mpos-
sible, seems to him the height Of un-
fairness-Brooklyn. Eagle.
AS the candidate of the Independence
League, the mouth of Hearst is full
of fine sentiments. AS the candidate
of the Buffalo convention by deal
with the man he had pictured in stripes
as a criminal doing the lockstep, Hearst
is politician without qualm. y
In the one character William r. Hearst
pleaded with intense moral earnest
ness for a non partisan judiciary ticket
free from corporate or political inf1u-
ences: in the other character, in spite
of his professions, he indorses list
of candidates for the Supreme Court
arranged between himself and the
trusty but disreputable Murphy in pur-
suance of the compact made at Buffalo.
New York Sun.
The Hearst candidacy in New York
has produced a more complete chaos in
the Democratic party in that State
The San Francisco call., 1906-10-27


in which party committee control
completely sets at naught the
splendid and elaborate machinery de-
signed to place nominations directly in
the hands OF the people.
The New York law Is compulsory In
itants and on all parties casting at
least per cent of the total vote for
Governor. With smaller communities
and parties it is optional. 1t provides
an elaborate and worthy system of en-
roIlment and registration and provides
also for the direct nomination of can
didates but 1t permits party organiza-
tions to designate what candidates
shall be nominated by direct vote and
to what offices nominations shall be
made by convention. The result Is OBJ
vious. Nominations are made by con-
ventions. Members of the committees
are elected at the September primaries,
and on the seventh Tuesday before any
general election primary elections of
delegates to conventions are held. The
polls are open from to 9 o'clock in
the afternoon and the parties poll at
different places. These primaries are
official If held by parties coming with
in the provisions of the act: that is.
casting more than 3 per cent of the to-
tai vote for Governor, and unofficial for
smaller parties. The official primaries
are held at public expense The ex-
penses of unofficial primaries are borne
by the parties.
The enrolment feature of the New
York law, designed to protect and pre-
serve the partisan integrity of the pri-
mary elections, has been the model for
practically all the subsequent enroll
ment laws, and the registration feat
ures of the Minnesota primary election
law. At the first registration day in
September and at subsequent stated

SUPPORTING
CARMACK
A. L. MIMMs, PoPULIsT NOMINEE
FOR GOVERNOR, GIVES REA-
SON FOR HIS FAITH.

Prof. A. L. Mimms, the Populist
nominee for Governor of Tennessee in
1896, is a supporter of Senator Car
mack in his contest for reelection to
the United States Senate. Attorney
General NJ. N. Whitaker, of Winches-
ter, few days ago addressed a COM
munication to Mr.. Mimms, asking him
his attitude upon the Senatorship Mr..
Mimms' reply has been published in
Franklin County, and is given here
with. 1t is as follows:
ANTIOCH, Tenn, May 4, 1906
M. N. Whitaker, Esq, Winchester,
Tenn. Dear Sir: Yours of the I'd
inst. to hand. In reply will say that
no man fought us-the Populists-
more bitterly as blind partisan than
Mr.. Carmack, nor did any man make
more fun of us than did Mr.. Taylor.
The present political unrest in this
country, causing thousands of patriot
ic men to change their former politi-
cal faith for our principles is, of
course, gratifying to me, because in
this movement l think | see ultimate
relief to my race and country but the
battle is by no means won vet, and he
knows but little of the worlds history
who imagine that aggregated wealth
is going to surrender the reins of the
Government back into the hands of
the people of this country without first
losing series of desperate battles.
Now, as I see it, these battles are just
before us and must be fought or we
are lost.
"As social gentleman, l prefer Mr..
Taylor, but he never fought anything
and never will, politically; first be-
cause of his natural disposition, and
secondly, because of his want of polit-
zeal information.
i "Mr.. Carmack is the ADLER man of.
the two, and naturally pugnacious, al
ways ready for the fray, and, as pub
lie sentiment, especially in his party,
is rapidly drifting to my view of the
situation, 1 am not afraid but what
he will fight on my side of the con-
flict. Neither fills my idea of a Sena-
tor in toto, but as l must choose be-
tween the two, I turn my back to the
past without surrendering a single
political view, and support Mr.. Car
mack as the ADLER man of the two, the
more willing and the better qualified
to fight the political battles now be-
fore us. Yours,
"a. L. MIMMS."
