BEAT BOTH.

Mr. Hearst's friends assert that he has
made innumerable converts among the
young men OF the Republican party, while
on the other hand many conservative Re-
publicans would be expected to prefer Mr..
Jerome to the present governor. Some OF
the best-informed observers opine that In
the event OF a triangular contest between
Higgins, Hearst and Jerome the frst
named would be last in the race. Scarcely
anybody doubts. however, that II Mr..
Hughes were nominated he would beat
both Jerome and Hearst and be the next

THOUSANDS WELCOME BRYAN.
Made Madison Square Garden Thpn-
der and Would Not BE Silenced.

New York, Sept AT Madison
Square Garden Friday night William
Jennings Bryan was rendered his
first public reception since his ar
rival from Europe on Wednesday.
Other receptions will follow on Mr..
Bryan's way westward. but it is not
likely that any of them will equal
the demonstration either in point of
numbers or in genuine enthusiasm.
1t was notable in many ways. 1t
showed palmer than anything else
that Mr. Bryan has lost nothing Of
his old-time following and that his
oIG-time following have lost no. hing
of their affection for the Nebraska
leader
The reception was given under the
auspices of the Commercial Travel
lers' Antitrust League.
Looking over the great gathering
OF 10000 people it seemed strange
that so many persons of such radi-
cally different political beliefs
should be found bowling and cheer
ing and waving flags under the up
lifting of the magic hand of Mr..
Bryan.
But so it was. 1t was Democratic
Utopia in all its modern forms-iu
the Bryan form of free silver. in the
Hearst form of public ownership, in
the Belmont form of plutocracy and
in the johnson form of populism
They were all there, wing with
each other in their cheers and their
flag waving and seeming enthusiasm
for Mr.. Bryan.
The doors were opened at o'clock
and the long lines of patient ticket
holders began to file into the Gar
den. They found it undecorated
save for the lofty speakers platform
at the Twenty-seventh street en-
trance, which was draped with
American flags.
AT the Fourth avenue end of the
Garden a band was stationed. \
great yellow jungle of chairs covered
the floor, and in each chair was
small American flag.
Mr. Bryan has grown in ten years.
The growth has been gradual, but it
has been steady. He dropped the sill
yer issue with a thud. He said that
natural causes had won a victory for
both the monometallists and the BIZ
metallists If the former were sat
isfied to retain the gold standard the
latter were satisfied with the in
creased volume of money caused by
the vast production of gold. So hon
ors are easy and 16 to l has finally
passed from the arena of American
politics, for Mr. Bryan has said it.
The keynote of Mr.. Bryans speech
was the scheme for the ownership of
railroads by the Federal govern
ment and by the States-trunk lines
by the government, branch lines by
the States. In his speech he went
even further in advocacy of it than
the copy which had been furnished
to the newspapers the night before.
He had been warned by prominent
Democrats who think, with Senator
Bailey, of Texas, that this is the
dangerous doctrine against plunging
the country into a discussion of this
issue. He had only intended to sug-
gest 1t as remedy. But, like the
self-reliant, headstrong Bryan of
old, he rejected the warning and in
stead of saying, as he intended TO
say, that he believed government
ownership would come, he declared
fatty that he favored" government
ownership and operation.

fair election, and hence that it was
futile for an opposition candidate to
remain In the field. General Gomez
later paid n visit to the United States

Gas Magnate for State Control

Mcmillan, the Boston capitalist who
is at the head of the Mcmillan chain
of gas plants, in a letter to the gen.
eral manager of the Milwaukee COM
pany says:
Il favor a State commission to
control the gas companies, chiefly
because l desire the public to be-
come informed concerning our bust
ness and to secure this knowledge
through a source in which the pub
lie will have confidence. The person
mel of such boards may be composed
of political workers, rewarded for
support given a governing power.
Even a commission so constituted
would not be more dangerous to the
gas companies than when compelled
to deal with local authorities elected
for periods too short to permit them
to acquire the requisite knowledge
of the business essential to intelli-
gent action"
