!. Sane voters of whatever political
party should unite throughout the
State of New York to the one end
that Hearst be disastrously defeat
ed and the Empire state thus be
saved from disgrace. That they will
do so in sufficient number to at least
elect Mr.. Hughes may be confidently
expected, but 1t is to be hoped that
there will be something more than a
bare defeat for the yellow Journalist
Tulare Register.
The San Francisco Labor Council has
put Hearst in position that will cause
him more than a bad half-hour before
he finds solution. 1t demands that
he withdraw Langdon; it asks Gompers
to demand it, and it asks the Demo-
Gratis to exert every influence on the
New York Democracy to compel Hearst
to respect their wishes. And
Langdon, who so eloquently shouts de-
nunciation of the bosses from the ton
neau of Hearst automobile, what will
Langdon say? Will he consent to be
ignominiously sacrificed and proved the
puppet of Boss Hearst? He will not,
the reason being not that he is so inde-
pendent that it hurts him, but that he
is selfish and ambitious and will have
no faith in Hearst's promises of reward
in the dim future.-Palo Alto Times.
The contest in New York is now on
in earnest between sMr. Hearst and
Charles E. Hughes. and the issue is be-
tween genuine reform by sane and pa
triotic methods and bogus pretension
pealing to the most un-Aperican eIe-
ment of the city of New York and the
Empire state. - The foreign
element in New York, the criminal eIe-
ment. the corrupt political manipulat-
ors who have made New York City a
hotbed Of civic vice will be for Hearst.
Men who hate government and state
and municipal decency will whoop it up
for Hearst and reve1 in free drinks
He will draw from the Republican
party in New York an element that
that party can well afford to part with
in exchange for self-respecting Demo-
Gratis who have no faith in the abillty
or sincerity of Hearst. They win re-
pudiate his candidacy and support
Hughes.-Pasadena News.
One need not be a prophet to believe
that by capturing the New York con-
vention-throus methods about. which
nobody has any doubts-Wflliam r.
Hearst will find that he has committed
political suicide. Democrats nave en-
dured much at one time and another
They have swallowed many bitter pills
for the sake of keeping up a semblance
of party organization. But unless all
signs fail Hearst is too disgusting a
dose and will be rejected by the better
class in the paYty throughout the EN-
pire State. This will make doubly GER
tain his defeat in November, and, beat
en- then, his last hope of being a Pres
idential candidate. except as the nomi-
nee of an insignificant party created
by his checkbook. will have been dissi-
pated 1t will surprise no
body if Hearst. should be the most bad
ly beaten candidate that ever ran for
Governor of New York-a result that
will insure for him the political obliv-
ion which decent people all over the
land desire should be his portion.-san
