nothing but q political bubble which II
pricked at Buffalo would vanish into thin
air. They recall that Henry George, who
ran for Mayor In the old city Of New York

man with the methods used by Mr.. Hearst
n his l~eutenants could have captured
the number OF delegates from the up country

for q number Of years. These old timers
went on to say that the crucial time Of the
Democratic party In the State viii be At
Buffalo.
They said 10 would be q good scheme
70 invite william r. Hearst 10 attend the
