whichever man gets the nomination
the other will run Independently.
The situation was further complicat-
ed by a break in the lines Of Tam
many when a friend of Mayor McClel-
Ian, OBrien, came out for Jerome and
Leader Murphy virtually declared him
self for Hearst. Promptly Mr.. Jerome
delivered scathing rebuke for both
Murphy and Hearst, saying birds Of
feather flock together and describ-
ing Hearst as "a person intellectually
stefile, socially vulgar and morally OBJ
fuse" who insults the decent people
of the state, irrespective of party, by
seeking the nomination of a political
party by advancing dollars and not
ideas and by methods akin to those of
the blackmailer" He said the fight
was to free parties of just such men
as bosses.
At the same time Hearst reiterated
his previous assertion that he had no
alliance with Murphy or McCarren,s
but was opposed to boss rule and cor
poration rule. He referred to the
Roosevelt demand for a square deal
and said that to have a square deal
the people must have a new deal, as
NEARLY all the cards in the old politi-
cal packs are marked by the corpo-
rations and dirty and dog cared from
the corrupt uses to which they have
been put"
Revision Wins In Nebraska.
The Nebraska Republican convention
at Lincoln named Morris Brown, the
state attorney general, for United
States senator and State Senator
George L. Sheldon for governor. Both
men stand for limitation of corporate
powers. The platform demands direct
primaries and tariff reform by Repub-
licans only.
Illinois Stands by Sullivan.
The Illinois Democratic convention at
Peoria refused to follow the dictum of
W. J. Bryan as to the dismissal of
Roger Sullivan from the Democratic
national committee. Sullivan with
solid delegation from Cook county was
in complete control of the convention,
and the motion demanding his resigna-
ton was rejected, nearly two to one.
At the same time the convention car
ried out its purpose of indorsing Bryan
for president in 1908.
Hearst Defines His Attitude.
In al address at Salem, Ind, Will
liam l.. Hearst said that blind party
alle~;lnce tends to interfere with the
ais and objects Of our government
and is responsible for most of the po-
litical evils under which we suffer.
These evils would never be remedied
until the people vote for men and
measures Irrespective Of party.
He declares that no longer does the
word Democracy define any definite
doctrine, nor the word Republican ex-
press any particular principle. He
says it Is an axiom that the corpora
tons never support man whom they
do not expect to use.
Roosevelt's Campaign Letter.
President Roosevelt in long letter
to Representative James e. Watson of
Indiana, the Republican whip of the
house, refers to the phenomenal amount
Of good work accomplished by the last
house under CannOn's speakership and
points out that a change of organiza-
ton would bring confusion upon those
engaged In working out scheme for
the betterment of social, industrial and
civic conditions. He says it is easy to
play the dema gogue by denouncing the
evils of wealth and to be an obstruc-
ZIONIST, but that it is not easy to disre
gard the self interests of those who
have profited by the present evils
which he believes the present congress
has done He believes that the ques-
ton of revising the tariff stands apart
from that of dealing with the trusts.
He insists that his party favors trades
unions as indispensable instruments in
the economic life, but when they are
guilty of abuse he does not propose to
weaken the remedial powers in dealing
with them.
Printers Indorse Candidates.
The resolution indorsing W. r. !
Hearst was rejected by the convention |
of union printers at Colorado Springs,
but in it's place a resolution was adopt
ed commencing all legislators and edi-
tors who have exerted themselves in
behalf Of union labor.
Tom Johnson Turned Down.
Congressman CARRIER became the rec
ognized leader of the Ohio Democracy
when the state central committee was
at Columbus on Aug. q, in
which Mayor Johnson Of Cleveland
was able to control only four of the
twenty-one votes. The state conven-
lion named Samuel Hoskins for secre-
.ary Of state and refused to adopt the
ocal option blank.
Uncle Joe's Boom Started.

ng at Washington held meet

ION presidential BOOM" Thousands of
