to Rest Of Ticket.
Commenting on the results Of Tues.
days election William J. Bryan
Thursday night issued q statement,
in part as follows:
THE election of 1906 indicates q
trend in favor Of the Democratic
party. 1t proves that the Denoora-
tic party is growing stronger as Be
publican policies are developed. In
NaT York the party hss eon signal
victory in spita OF the tremendous
eforss put forth in behalf OF the Ad-
ntnistration. Ths Republicans had
al the money they wanted. They
had the support Of al the great cor.
porations and at the close they had
whstsvsr influence the Administra-
sion could land. The fact that the
Democrats elected every State officer
excepting the G Gjvernor shows that IN
the Empire State the Republican
party has bean repudissed.
The defeat OF Mr., Hearst, the
Democratic and Independence League
candidate for Governor, while 2 great
disappointment to bis friends and to
toe uarsy, Is explained b7 facts which
rob Mr.. Hughes victory OF both glory
and political significance. Mr.. Nc
Carren, whom Ar. Hearst denounced
IS a boss, threw his influence to
Hughes and Gus down Mr.. Hearst's
votes In Brooklyn. Mayor NcClsl.
lag, the Legality Of whose election MIR.
Hearst had denied, used bis indusnce
Tor Mr.. Hughes and cut down the
Hearst vote In NV York. Mr..
Jerome, the prosecution attorney Of
New York, who had also been attack.
ed bJ Mr.. Eearst, supported the Rs-
publican ticket and his irduencs vas
telt In Greater New York. Mr.. |
Crck3r, during the last days OF the
campaign made an attack upon Mt. |
Gsarss which doubtless weakened |
he Democratic candidate among the
Tam mmanyises. Mr.. Murphy, the
aead Of Tsnmany, while supporting
she ticket, could not put much en-
thusiasn into the campaign owing to i
the personal controversies which be
mad With Mr.. Hesrst. It Is evident, |
there f1re, that Mr.. Hughes owes his
victory net to B publican votes, bu. |
TO Democratic yoaes brought to him
oY the very nea whom no and the |
Republican Leaders haV- been de
auuncirs for years.
President Roosevelt cannot find
very much cause for ejoiciag In the
New York rsturns. To have his osn
State go Democratic cannot be
to hin and tc fiad that his
personal attack upon Mr.. Hearst hsd
little IL fl lerce oo~4the result, com.
pared with the Influence e1erted by
McCarrea, Murphy and Croker, will
not GLADDEN. his Thanksgiving DGy.
The Presidents personal attack on
Mr.. Heart was In bad taste, TO say
the least.
"Mr. Hearst is, Of course, disap.
pointed. and yet when all the facts
re known be has much to congratu.
i,te himself upon. he made q tre,
mendous fight against great odds,
and while he himself failed OF election
ats heroic struggle brought victory to
BE- rest OF the ticket. His personal
enemies have contributed to bis de.
feat, but the triumph Of his ideas
still leaves him In position to con
ainue the fight tor the protection Of
the public against the encroach.
uents OF predatory wealth.
IF the trend toward Democracy
continues as strong tor the next twc
gears as 1t had been for the last two
years, New YORK can bs counted
among the Democratic States In 1908
and Mr.. Hea.st Is Ii position to 90
valiant Wo.k in securing q nationa.
triumph tor progressive, Democratic
Ideas.
THE Republicans have had an et
isctive campaign cry in standing by
ahe President. Wnils the record
showed that the Democrats in the
Senate and House stoci by the Ptesi
