The San Francisco call., 1906-10-19

should compel the support of the
Republican nominees by every voter
in that State who has a sense
correct administration of public af-
fairs and an antagonism to the rule
of bosses and the reign of the political
grafters. There is no doubt that
Hearst's nomination mas been effected
by the very means which his string
of newspapers has been making cap
ital for their owner by denouncing
1t was brought about by the direct
aid of Murphy and Tammany, the en-
tire vote of the Tammany delegates
being thrown to Hearst. The
partisan issues are of less moment than
the real danger that menaces through
Hearst Murphy administration
Hearst believes only in advancing the
political interests of Hearst, and Muir
ply is after the political patronage
that will help to enrich himself and
reward the men who have been instru-
mental in keeping him In power
Grass Valley Union.
Considering all the good money 1T
will have cost him to make the cam
paign, the coming defeat OF Hearst In
New York may be properly viewed as
a financial disaster-for Hearst.-Los
Angeles Times.
If you catch the faint echo of rat
tie and a metallic ring coming from
the East, do not be frightened; it is
only the movement of the great army
of Democrats boiling Hearst.-Pasa-
dena Star.
Hitherto the people of the State Of
New York have not been considered a
body of degenerates sunken so low in
vice that a reward had to be promised
for observing their oath to perform
specific public duties and administer
public trusts in accordance with the
law of the land. But If Mr.. Hearst's
estimate of them be fair and reason
able, the people of the State of New
York should be encouraged to remove
themselves to the wilds of Timbuctoo,
where In the course of ages the mills
creatures possessing at least the seeds
Of honesty, morality and ordinary po-
litical ntegrity.-Berkeley Gazette.
Pretty much all the big orators of
the Republican and Democratic parties
are going to turn themselves loose
against Hearst in New York. Perhaps
they are scheming to make Hughes
majority about half million.-Berke-
ley Gazette.
Before his nomination for. Governor
at Buffalo, William r. Hearst asserted
that Sachem Murphy and his influence
were for sale to the highest bidder.
OF course, from the fact that Hearst
was nominated the inference is plain,
but what Hearsts impertinent foes
want to know is how much did he
pay Santa Ana Blade.
Strange things have to be done or
left undene these days by Hearst pa
pers in their efforts to boost the politi-
cal aspirations of their owner. At the
present stage of the campaign the sup
preston of important facts in which
the general public has keen interest is
the most notable feature of yellow
journalism as conducted by the Demo-
cratic and Independence League nemi-
nee for Governor of New York .
Now this sort of journalism is simply a
form of dishonesty. People who buy
a daily paper do so on the supposition
that when it purports to give political
platform in full, or to print the salient
features of a speech, it will not de-
liberately suppress any really imnor-
tant feature of either. In it's way this
sort of crooked work is as much a
swindle on the public as short weight
or imitation products sold by an un-
scrupulous merchant. Nevertheless.
this Is the method of the Hearst papers,
and not infrequent1y it is supplement-
ed with downright falsehood-.' taking,
is the euphemism commonly employed
to denote the latter-San Diego Union.
The nomination of W. R. Hearst as
Governor of New York State on the
Democratic ticket is the eonsummation
of shameful betrayal of party inter
ests. The Democracy in that State is
entitled to the sympathy of the nation
at large. As to New York State most
Impartial judges will incline to the
opinion that so far as Democratic sue
cess this year is concerned the party
is doomed to isnominious failure. The
nomination is Tammany deal straight
through 1t seems altogether beyond
belief that the rank and file of the in
telligent people Of the State will swal-
low such an edious composite pill as
Murphy and his gang of political thugs
have concoeted. d.-Humbold Standard.
