The Nebraska Independent

Gratis who have pledged their party
to his support, or republicans, is some
thing that has never before been seen
in our politics at any time since the
foundation of the government.
Politicians have never before now
connived at and assisted in the forma-
ton of Independent leagues for the
purpose of using them to force recog
milton for themselves at the hands
of one of the great political parties
which they could not otherwise rea-
such cases in the past the independent
organization was used as a plaything
to be cajoled and betrayed after be
ing used to serve the selfish ends of
a schemer. Never before has it hap
pened that an Independent Organiza
ton such as the independence league
has been successfully used to capture
the nomination of great political
party as the New York organization
has been used, and then a terward held
to be the superior organization in the
manner that Mr. Hearst is now pro-
claiming the independence league of
New York
And never before has an aspirant
for Office under such circumstances
defended the right of an Independent
organization, so used, to threaten the
existence of the great organization
whose nomination he has captured and
whose support he expects to receive.
The conduct of Mr.. Hearst is com
manding the admira ion of all behold
ers as being brave, while at the same
time it is being condemned as bad
politics. Politicians who interpreted
Mr. Hearsts Independence league
movement to be mere repetition of
a familiar political trick to capture
the democratic nomination are non
plussed over his manner of opening his
campaign and are predicting dire dis
aster as a consequence But it might
be well for the reputation of politi-
clans and political philosophers to
go little slow in their adverse pre-
dictions. 1t may turn out that Mr.
Hearst reads human nature and in
terprets conditions more accurately
than any other and that he may prove
himself to be the master genius of the
age; and render his country a service
that none other was capable of rend-
ering. But, be that as it may all must
admit the novelty of his methods and
the marvellous character of the things
he is intrunental in bringing about

E. Gerry Brown, the nominee of both
the independence league and the dem
ocratic party in Massachusetts for the
Office of lieutenant governor is an old
friend and former neighbor Of We edi-
tor. Our friendship began over thirty
years ago when Mr. Brown was editor
and proprietor of the Bunker Hill
Times in Boston. Therefore from long
personal knowledge Of the worth of
Mr.. Brown as a man and a citizen
the Independent endorses him for the
Office for which he is named and
wishes the whole ticket nominated by
God speed.

Hearst's speeches are works of art.
They are short, pungent, epigramatic
and convincing, each sentence consti-
tuting short paragraph in itself.
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1906-10-11

Mr.. Hearst has started a campaign
in New York that promises to be the
most extraordinary in the annals of
time. 1t presents many spectacular
aspects at the outset, and starts under
pressure greater than average cam
paigns ever reached even at their most
exciting stages. The one thing that
distinguishes 1t at the opening is the
fierce character of the attacks made
by Mr.. Hearst upon his principle an
tagonists, and seemingly determine
ton on his part to draw out all the
opposition to his views in all parties,
evidently in the hope of massing in
his support the people of all parties
who believe in what he advocates. If
he can succeed in doing this he will
win by majority that will be aston
ishing

Mr.. Hearst being a journalist has
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1906-10-11

In attacking party machines as the
agencies of corporation government
Mr.. Hearst betrays evidence of genius.
In attacking corporation agents as
party leaders regardless of where he
finds them he exhibits tact, which If
backed up with the requisite strength
of purpose coupled with bold agrees
sive defiance is sure to bring him
victory. If he can succeed in drawing
fire from every venom battery of the
emmy, and from the most eminent and
successful of the brigands of commerce
and finance at an early stage of the
game the magnitude of the OPPOSITION
will compel men to give him and his
cause fair hearing and insure him
a decisive victory at the polls.

of the whole bunch in the Empire
