HEARST'S STATEMENT
The Rule of Corporations Through
Party Bosses Must Be
Destroyed

BlnSndIuLOu, IN. IL He lolloWluS
statement was issued by w. r. Hearst
in response to questions by upstate
newspaper men:
ct was very glad to hear Judge
Lyon say today in his speech that
he had always maintained that when
the people had a chance to vote for
certain principles and certain issues
in their own interest they would GER
tainly do so. l feel without any part
isan prejudice that that is statement
of exact facts. Hitherto both parties
have been largely controlled by the
large corporations that speculate in
public officials in order to be able to
appropriate public property and to
secure special privileges.
"These corrupt corporations have
worked in favor Of the republi-
can party, but have controlled the ma
chinery of the democratic party In
order to prevent that latter party
cial interests This year at Buffalo
the democratic masses repudiated the
paid agents of the trusts and attor-
neys of corrupt corporations and

The democratic masses then united
with the independence League in an
effort to restore truly American gov
ernment.
"The independence League was
started for hte positive purpose of
giving the people an opportunity to
vote for American principles, for the
democracy of Jefferson and the repub-
licanism of Lincoln and for candidates
that had not been nominated by the
corporations and were not controlled
by the corporations.
"This independent movement
showed immense strength in New
York City last fall and was without
any doubt elected by the people with
a plurality of not less than 10000
votes. The immense flow Of money
that was poured into the campaign
by the corporations seeking to de-
fend their privileges resulted in inn
mense election frauds at the polls and
in the suppression of election news on
election night for nearly two hours,
while ballots were being defaced or
miscounted or destroyed.
Notwithstanding all these frauds 1t
is undoubtedly true that there are at
this moment in the ballot boxes that
are being preserved in New York City
enough votes to elect the whole inde-
pendent ticket. But the corporations
have been powerful enough to control

A FIERCE SNOW STORM

A fierce snow and wind storm which
began in eastern Wyoming and Colo
RADIO, which has extended a little into
the extreme portion of western Ne
braska, has caused traffic on the Bur-
lington to be somewhat delayed. Pas
senger trains from Denver are report
ed from over an hour to two hours
late. The Portland express is three
hours late
The storm is unusually severe for
this time of year. At Akron from
eight to ten inches of snow has fallen
and it is still coming down at a
furious rate. In the greater portion of
Nebraska territory the weather is not
nearly as cold, and rain instead OF
snow is falling.
At local headquarters it was stated
this morning that the storm had not
in the least interfered with the tele-
graph lines. A force of linemen was
held ready at Lincoln to be sent to
the west as fast as possible if it be-
came necessary to repair damage on
account of the hard blow.

had fallen at Florence by nightfall.

The result of last Tuesdays
election for governor was clearly
a victory for the opposition to the
state dispensary. BY common
consent that institution was made
the paramount issue in the cam
paign. The personality Of the
two gubernatorial candidates,
Ansel and Manning, was lost
sight of. 1t was conceded that
the character of each was above
reproach, and that either would
make a good Governor. 1t was
therefore to the platforms of the
two men that the voters looked
for guidance in determining how
they should cast their ballots
They saw that Manning stood for
the state dispensary and Ansel
against it. By an overwhelming
majority they voted for Ansel. -
Doesn't that mean that the senti-
ment of the people is unmistaka-
bly, against the continuance OF
the state dispensary? 1t certain
ly looks that way to US.

THE COTTON ASSOCIATION.

As will be seen by Vice P.esi
tbnt McMurray's call in today's
E'per, the County Cotton Grow
a. Association will meet here
next Saturday, 22th instant.
We cannot too strongly urge upon
ossr farmers the Importance of
Eee ping up and enlarging the
usefulness of their organization.
What it has already accomplish
od is matter of recent history
and need not now be recalled.
Pat past achievements should act
1T an incentive to still greater
andeavor in the future.
AS a factor in enabling the
fnrmers to obtain a remunerative
price for their cotton, the
association has proven Itself
to be of inestimable value, and if
For no other reason it should be
maintained and strengthened
aSong all lines. Upon this point
the News and Courier we'll
Gays:
From our point of view, the
9tlect and reason of the AssOCia.
fipn's existence is to enable the
ptoducers of raw cotton to parri
ospa'e in fixing the price In the
absence OF such an agency, the
price will be fixed solely bv the
AGyers, and if the cotton farmers
neglect TO support the Association
ehiy surrender abjectly the con
Gs5l or the marKet to persons
VahOsC motive and interest are to
bay al the lowest possible puce.

thing to say as to the price, and
G,S should have the seller OF bale
Or cotton. The Southern Cotton
association, makes this "sav" Of
&se original cotton seller, the
farmer, effective, and the cotton
SIying world "sits up and takes
notice"
Now that the political season
IL over and the cotton season ia t
beginning, let the farmers renew
tAeir interest in the Association
and strive to make 1t more efec-
tive 'or good than ever before. -
8he meeting in Lancaster next
Saturday should by all means be
a large and enthusiastic one.
