NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-The polit-
ical fight which now convulses the
Empire state is surcEarged with
elements vital to the interests of
the nation.
In many aspects it concerns Cali
fornia or Maine as deeply as it does
New York. State issues pale in con-
trast with the national ques tons in.
volved
1t may solve the gigantic trust
problem.
1t may spell the name of the next
president of the country.
1t may finally define a new polit-
ical system.
The basis of this remarka BILE and
entirely unique situation is COM
posed of the personalities of two
men Of national reputation. Dis
tinctly different types they appear
to represent the identical theory of
government.
VIM. Randolph Hearst and Chas.
E. Hughes have won fame as trust
fighters, Hearst as an editor who
has turned his vast newspaper ma
chinery into guns directed at the
money power; Hughes as lawyer,
who has devoted his keen and pow
erful brain in tearing down the cas-.
ties of two arrogant classes of
trusts and exposing to the world
the corruption at the base.
Whatever Hearst may be, states
man or mountebank, self-seeker or
altruist, he Is a hundred thousand
times pledged to the overthrow of
special trust privilege.
Whatever Hughes may be, sim
cere or insincere, corporation law

WALL STREET CORNERED
IN new YORK CAMPAIGN

yer whom the trusts have bought at
will or man above reproach who
knows no master but clean con.
science, his most conspicuous life
work has been to fearlessly un-
mask men in high Offices; expose
corrupt pratices born Of special
privilege, and political intrigue
with the money masters; and point
his honey finger in the faces of the
political commercial oligarchy.
Wall street is trembling at the
spectacle of these two men nomin-
ated by the two great parties for
the governorship.
Hearst is worth personally as
much money as some New Jersey
corporations are capitalized for. He
made fortune from the poor, to
which class his newspapers cater.
He stands now in the reflected
glory of the poor mans friend"
Wall street would hesitate per-
haps, to attempt to drag Hughes
from his pedestal of personal hon
esty, into the net of special priv
ilege for the few. Wall street met
Hughes at the insurance investiga-
ton. No man had ever dared to
make such a violent assault upon
the high dignitaries of entrenched
capital as he.
The New York Sun has declared
that the next governor of New York
will be the next president of the
United States. Such an event would
have precedent.
Either Hearst or Hughes will be
the next governor OF this state.
Where do the trusts get Off this
time?

LEAVENWORTH, Kas., Oct. 10
From pieces of wooden yarn, un-

HANDED HIM A
PhONY TlMEPIEcE

Len Adams, age 18, complained
to Chief of Police Waller this morn
ing that last night he had been
buncoed at the jewelry store OF
Rein Bros, on Main avenue. Adams
said he bid 81 on what was repre-
scented to him as a Waltham watch
with a 20-year guarantee. When he
put up his money he was handed a
"phony" not worth so cents. 1t was
highly carved piece of brass Gov
cred with a preparation to make it
look like gold. He brought the
watch to the chief and explained
his trouble. Both of the Rein
brothers were sent for and forced
