State Convention is openly opposing the
election Of regular Democrats on regular Dem
ocratic tickets. All through the state. from Eric
TO Kings, he has had his Independence League
place many in nomination against regular Dem

for these nominations as the independence
League is a corporation organized, incorpora ted
and controlled absolutely by him and his hired
men If this man. who takes a Democratic in
dorsement. refuses to support Democratic nom

support him.
In addition, 1t is known that Hearst through
the Independence League. proposes TO nominate
himself for President two years from now
against Mr.. Bryan any else that the reg
ular Democratic convention may nominate The
support of him in New York by Democrats will
only encourage him in his Independence League
movement, and the only salvation for the Dem

bury him He has absolutely no right to claim
the support of any Democrat He has repea tedly
bolted regular Democratic nominations, and in
tends to do so in the future. This year he saws
he will not vote the regular Democratic ticket
and put his mark under the star" but will vote
the Independence League ticket, and this is
probably the only promise he has made that can
