John Ford made a speech attacking MI.
Hughes; .,
fifteen minutes Of his time to any prpno
cause thus far unless he has been paid Ior
IL. He has lived on the West Side OF New
York for years and nobody ever heard OF
him joining In any public movement.
There were upward OF 1000 people
crowded into the hall when Mr.. Hearst
came in. He was cheered for several min
utes. His speech was the same as he had
delivered at the other meetings. When he
mentioned Sheehan, Shepard, Cravath and
Jerome as being opposed TO him SAID
he thanked them for their opposition m
body yelled; How about Pat McCarrenr' =,
Yes, there's anotherlone OF them, said
Mr.. Hearst, which brought a yell from the

up just a minute to tell him what we think
OF him.
MI FRIENDS: I think the lines in this
campaign should he clearly drawn between
those who are in favor OF special privileges
and those who are in favor of popular rights:
between those who are in favor OF govern
ment by corporations for their private
profit and those who are In favor Of govern
ment by the people for the public benefit.

for the purpose OF freeing the government
from the corrupt and communicating control
Of corporations and liberating the people
from such unequal and un-American condi-
ions.
The Democratic convention at Buffalo
openly and scoTnfully repudiated the cor
p~oration agents who we're there to invest
their masters money in the purchase OF
delegates, and that reputation was the one
thing that made II possible for the nominees
OF the Independence Lea que to accept the
Democratic Endorsement.
The corporation forces are now united
behind the corporation attorney OF the corpo-
alton party and the line | have so long
labored to have clearly drawn IL clearly
drawn AT last.
In all my speeches and in all the acts Of my
life | have endeavored to make my position
clear on this important matter. but ] wish to
politely ackno wledge the assistance | have
received from others.
Nothing has helped me more to make this
DISTINCT ion clear than the opposition OF Alton
q. Parker. William r.. Sheehan. Edward VI.
Shepard, Paul ID. Cravath. District Attorney
Jerome and other corporation attorneys and
paid political agents OF corrupt interests.
Alton h. Parker is a typical corporation
lawyer. He can be ( eed TO hold any opinion
on any subject and argue any side of any case.
Alton B. Parker is the attorney who APP
peared in the election case on the side OF the
election criminals in the very court he had
formerly graced. and there argued against
the very opinion he himself had formerly
rendered and there succeeded in securing q
reversal OF his own verdict.
IL IL possible that the arguments OF Judge
Parker were not a. effective IA the argu-
menJs OF the employees OF Judge Parker.
but nevertheless it cannot be denied that
Parker argued TO secure the reversal Of
Parker and to deny the public their political
rights.
And he did this because the corporations
who employed him as their corporation Attor'
! ney wanted him to do IL aud paid him to do
il. wish publicly to thank Judge Parker
for his opposition to me.
William +. Sheehan is the attorney for
| the Brooklyn Rapid Transit and other public
service corporations who buy politicians in
order TO be able to steal franchises, who
deoauch the representatives. OF the people
in order TO he able to exploit the property
OF the people. william +. Sheehan was
driven out Of Buffalo because some of his
corrupt political practices had been exposed
He il able to live in New York only because
the rest OF his corrupt political practices
have not vet been exposed. ! wish publicly
to tn ank william r. Sheehan for his oppo
sition, to me.
Paul ID. Cravath Is the corporation attorney
of Thomas Fortune Ryan. the speculative
| hnancier who put through the criminal MERGE
OF the New York city transportation com
panies with the assistance OF Attorney-Gen
eral MAYER and secured control OF the Equi

ance Of the Investigation conducted by Charles
f.. hughes. Paul ID. Cravath, the genera
utility man for Thomas Fortune Ryan, puts
Oh the black mask. hoists the black flag anC
boldly enters the domain OF law or politics
at the demand OF that political pirate anC
financial freebooter.
Paul ID. Cravath is the gen tleman WHIT
