Ayers He is Not Candidate
for the Presidency.
DECLARATION EMPHATIC
Comments on Remarks Made by Bry.
an and Says Any Candidate Would
be Welcome to Him Except
Joe Bailey Of Texas.

Congressman William R. Hearst,
who is at present in San Francisco,
has given out the following:
Il would like to state very posi-
lively tha. am not a candidate for
the democratic presidential nomina-
ton in 1908.
"Mr. Bryan said the other day In
London that there were others be-
sides himself who lad claims on the
nomination through services rendered
the democratic party, and mentioned
pleasantly Mr.. Folk, Mr.. Bailey and
myself.
while appreciating Mr.. Bryan's
compliment must decline to be con.
sidered a candidate. Let the list stand
If MI. Bryan pleases, Bryan Or Folk
or Bailey. For my part I would sub
stitute Stevenson for Bailey.
"Mr. Bryan's services to the democ-
racy are too we'll diagnosed to be re-
hearsed. He has led the party con-
spicuously in two presidential cam
paigns and one senatorial campaign.
In the national house of congress he
has made the issues himself and ex-
pounded them with brilliancy un-
equaled and unapproached.
MIR. Folks services to the democ-
racy are notable and real. In fact, his
services have been rendered to all
citizens irrespective of party for his
career as an honest and efficient pub
lie servant is an example to republi-
cans and democrats alike.
AS for Mr.. Bailey, well. Bailey's
services have been rendered to that
corporation end of the democracy that
I do not consider democracy and
whose control of the machinery OF the
democratic as well as Of the repub-
hcan party has led me to seek my
ideals of the democracy of Jefferson
and the republican that of Lincoln
in the Independent league.
"Bailey's nomination for first place,
even by the machine that nominated
Parker, would be impossible, but Bal
ley's nomination for second place Is
conceivable. It would have the mate
rial advantage Of insuring Texas to
the democracy and Of eliciting a sub
stantial campaign contribution from
John D. Rockefeller. But its advan-
tages are obvious. Folk and Bailey,
for instance, would be an oil and wa
ter ticket that would not mix-a ticket
Of good, pure water and Standard Oh.
bryan and Bailey would be litter
ative and tickling to the ear, but
would sound too much like Barnum
and Bailey to suit the discriminating
taste Of the convention.
"Why not Bryan or Folk or Ste
vens In 1908 on the democratic side.
and why not Roosevelt and LaFol-
lette on the republican side?
Il repeat definitely and positively
I am not a candidate"

,blIND-AND DEAF CENSUS.
One Person in 1900 In United States
Blind and One in Every $50 Deaf,
According to Report Issued.

About one person In every 1,20o
was blind and one In every $50 per-
sons was dumb In the United States
in 1900, according to special CEN
sus report On the blind and deaf in
the United States in that year, just
issued by the census Office at Wash
ington. The inquiry was conducted
under the direction OF DR.. Alexander
Graham Bell. .@,... .''-.-.
The total number OF blind In the.
United States in 1900 was 64,76S, Of
whom 35,645 were totally blind, and
29,11s partially blind. OF the total
blind 37,O54 were males and 27,709
females Almost 65 per cent Of the
blind became blind after 20 years OF
age. About pnetenth OF the total
number Of blind were born 80. The
number Of blind per 1000 Of popula-s
ton was greater among the negroes
than among the whites. In about s.
per cent of the cases of blindness re-
ported the parents OF the blind were
cousins. OF the blind whose parents
were so related rs per cent were con-
gentially blind, while among the blind
whose parents were not cousins; the
proportion congenitaily blind was only
6.8 per cent. OF the blind at least To-
years of age, 20 per. cent were en-
gagged in some gainful occupation. Tho.
percentage of persons engaged IN
the professional pursuits, trade
larger among the totally. blind than.
among the general population.
Deafness, on the whole, the report
saws, is more common in the north-
ern part Of the United States than
in the southern, and there are more
males than females. The total num-,
ber Of deaf In the United States l5a
given as ss,2S7, of which 37,24S were
totally deaf and 51,S61 partially dear
From the latter class, however, ara
eliminated those merely hard OF
hearing"
The census report of 1890 gave the
number OF persons deaf as 121,178z
and the opinion is expressed that the
returns for 1890 are undoubtedly ex-,,
cessive while those for 1900 are de-
ficient. Of the totally deaf 52.5 per-
cent were males. Negroes constitute
lis per cent OF the general popula-s
ton and only So per cent OF the
deaf. That the negroes seem less sus-
ceptible to deafness than the whites
the report says, is probably due in;
part to less complete returns for the
negro deaf. OF the totally deaf 81 per:
cent were from childhood (under 30s
years of age) and 36 per cent from
birth. OF, the Ss,2s7 persons returned
as deaf, 55,5O1 were able to speak
well, SALT imperfectly, and. the re-
mainder not at all.
Heredity has played a part In pro-
ducing congenital deafness, and the
deafness occurring In adult lifei
whereas deafness occurring in early.
childhood after birth and under the
age of five, is probably to large exsl
tent adventitious. e
or those at least ten years OF age:
among the deaf, 3S.5 per cent were
gainfully employed as compared with
5O.2 per cent among the general pop
ulation.
