ney Jerome said of the recent election:
If Hearst had not undertaken to
sandbag the democratic party into ac-
cepting him and had made himself an
integral part of the democratic party,
the result, in my opinion. would have
been a sweeping democratic victory.
He would have a powerful and import
ant position in it. He did not take
that course. however. and | don't see
democratic party again.
THE American people are always
willing TO forget and forgive. Hearst.
can do much good yet. and if he ham
dies himself with good poise and judg-
ment in matters generally he can ac-
complish much good He must aban-
don wholesale abuse of anybody and
must confine himself to attacking in n
clean way the abuses which he wants
to assail His past offenses then will
be forgotten and forgiven. He could
be of service TO the organization. He
must decide his course. however"
