Hearst Harmony In Buffalo and O
Discordant Note From Ithac ca.

A Republican newspaper in Buffalo,
the Express, makes the announcement
that the Hon. NORMAN E. MACK, editor
Of the Times, and the Hon. WILLIAM J.
CoNNERs, editor Of the Courier, are now
politically cahooting as follows: Both
Democratic papers having gone over to
HEARST, the conservative Democrats OF
Buffalo are left without an organ
Incidentally, Mr.. MACK is New York's
member of the Democratic national COM
mittee, made so by WILLIAM ]. BRYAN
in the Ne%braskan's second campaign.
Incidentally, also, Mr.. MACK in 1904 was
retained in his place as New York's
member Of the committee by ALTON B.
PARKER.
Mr.. MACK in the Times, replying to the
statement of the Express that the con-
sentative Democrats Of Buffalo are left
without an organ, retorts:
" Following the line OF argument OF the Exprsss.
Is tho plutocratlc element OF the Republican party
In Buffalo without an organt II the Ezprsss. the
Commercial and the Netcs are standing by President
ROOSEVELT this must be 90. Tho plutocrats OF
the Republican party all over the country arc de-
claring that President RoosEvELr's expressed
views on public questions stamp him quite 40 much
Of q radical and anarchist 40 Mr.. BRYAN, Mr., HnARsr
and Mr.. la FoLLErTR ever were. Is any one Of
the Republican papers OF Buffalo standing with the
plutocrats as against the PRESIDENT Or are the
plutocrats without an organf"
Mr.. MACK OF the Times also
that "Mr. HEARST is coming, and pre-
diets a splendid reception" Of Mr., HEARST
by "the citizens of Buffalo, He adds:
Mr. HEARST Is one of the most prominent men
In public life to day. He represents a district Of
New York in the House OF Representatives whore
he has distinguished, himself by introducing and
supporting measures In the interests Of the people.
He was the candidate OF the Municipal ownership
party for Mayor of Greater New York last fall, and
he believes that with q fair count he would have
been seated. He Is now mentioned as a candidate
for Governor Of the State"
In Justice to Mr.. CoNNERs OF the
Courier it should be set forth candidly
that on this political occasion he has
been far ahead Of Mr.. MACK in political
nimbleness. While Mr.. MACK was hand
ing out scraps Of interviews in New
York city and at Lakewood, Atlantic
City and Washington, saying he didn't
know and he didn't know, and olutching
at every political thought waited within
a furlong Of his mental t~entacles, Mr..
CoNNERs was in London, England, bois-
terously and vociferously declaring for
HEARST for Governor.
Yet it is delightful to know that Mr..
MACK and Mr.. CoNNERs for the first time
in their buoyant lives are In political
accord. Mr.. MACK of the Times will not,
at least under present conditions, assail
MIR. CoNNERs OF the Courier in NOR than
eighteen of the nineteen editions OF his
paper.
The truce can only be temporary,
however. Mr.. CoNNERs ambled aboard
Mr.. HEARsT's wagon first. There is
abundant evidence to support this state
ment. Mr., HEARST, therefore, cannot
refuse to make him Democratic national
committeeman for the State in place Of
Mr.. MACK. it,. Mr.. HEARST for Gov
