newspaper about legislative reforms
and the duties of others, totally failed
to perform his own duty and proved
a worthless public servant in a legis.
lative of1ce-the only Office he ever
held.
An Apostle OF Hatred.
"But the worst of Hearst is that,
with his great wealth, with his great
newspapers, with his army OF paid
agents, and for his own selfish pur-
poses, he has been, day by day, and
year by year, sowing the seed of dis
.sension, strife and hatred throughout
our land. He would array labor
against capital and capital against
labor, poverty against wealth and
wealth against poverty, with bitter
vindictive feeling. He would destroy
among the great mass Of our people
that kindly, friendly spirit, that con-
si6eration Of the interests Of others,
that brotherhood Of citizenship, which
is so essential tor the peaseful con-
duct of free popular government.
He would destroy that respect for law,
that love of order, that confidence In
our free institutions, which are the
basis at once of true freedom and true
justice.
PoIsons the Alien Mind.
"The malignant falsehoods Of these
journals read by the Immigrant In his
new home, where none can answer
them. making him hate the people who
have welcomed him to liberty and
prosperity, abundant employment, am
pie wages, education for his children
independence for his manhood such az
he never had known before.
"It is not calm, lawful redress o1
wrongs, which he seeks. 1t is the tur
moil of iDflamed passions and the ter
rorism of revengeful force. He spreads
the spirit, he follows the methods, ne
is guided by the selfish motives of {
revolutionist. He would plunge oul
peaceful land into turmoil, discord and
perpetual conflict out Of which the re
publics Of South America happily are
now passing.
Vile Assallant Of Honor.
Does any one question the iustic.
of these statements? Then let hin
turn to the pages Of the newspaper,
through the ownership of whicl
Hearst Is pressing his political for
tunes.
What public servant honored by tn
peoples trust has he not assailed witt
vile and vulgar epithets? What brancl
of our free government has he no
taught his readers to be the corrup
agency Of oppression? Listen to thi
from the New York Journal:

/ to announce to the people Of tn
United States that their president
