William X. Hearst. the candidate or
the Democratic party and the Inde-
pendence reague for governor, last
night paid a flying visit to Brooklyn,
where he addressed five mass meetings
in half as many hours. Mr.. Hearst
was accompanied by Lewis Stuyvesart
Chanler. nominee for lieutenant gov
ernor on the same ticket. who also
spoke. Large and demonstratiyc
crowds greeted them, the greatest gath
ering being at Prospect hall, where the
final meeting was held. Here Mr..
Hearst said in part: az
Il think the lines in this campaign
should he clearly drawn between
those who are in favor of special priv
ileges and those who are in favor OF
popular rights, between those who are
in favor of government by corpora
tons for their private profit and those
who are in favor of government by the
people for the public benefit
''rhe Independence league was Gre
ated for the purpose of freeing the gov
ernment from the corrupt and con-
Eliminating control of corporations and
liberating the people from such I'M
equal and un-American conditions.
A man shouted, How about Muir
phyY'
Don't pay any more attention te
him than pay to Murphy" exclaimed
Mr.. Hearst. "l've said right along that
] didn't care whether Murphy was fol
me or not; am not for Murphy"
'"rhe Democratic convention at Buf
! falo openly and scornfully repudiated
| the corporation agents who We're there
to invest their masters money in Tho
purchase of delegates and that repudia
ton was the one thing that made Il
possible for the nominees of the Inde
| cratic Endorsement.
Nothing has helped me more tt
make this distinction clear than thu
opposition of Alton B. Parker. William
f. Sheehan, Edward NJ. Shepard, Pau
d. Cravath. District Attorney Jerome
paid political agents of corrupt in
terests. Alton b. Parker is a typica
corporation lawyer. He can be led t.
hold an opinion on any subject ant
argue any side of any case.
"Alton B. Parker is the attorney whit
appeared in the election case on tn,
side of the election criminals In tn,
very court he had formerly graced ant
there argued against the very opinion
he himself had formerly rendered ant
there succeeded in securing reversa
of his own verdict
II wish publicly to thank Judge Par
ker for his opposition to me-.
civilian f. Sheehan is the attorney
for the Brooklyn Rapid Transit ant
other public service corporations VIII,
buy politicians in order to be able t.
steal franchises, who debauch the rep
resentatives of the people in order t.
be able to exploit the property of thu
people. l wish to publicly thank VIII
liam +. Sheehan for his opposition t,
me.
"District Attorney Jerome has always
been corporation lackey, but such al
insignificant brass buttoned bellboy OF
the trusts that few realized his posi-
ton until he became prominent in poll
tics.
HE has kept no single public prom
Use that he made to secure the peoples
votes and has broken no private pledge
that he made to secure corporation
campaign funds.
"He is a notorious example of the
confidence man in public life. of tn,
petty larcenist in politics. who secures
preferment he does not deserve b!
promises he does not intend to per
form.
while condoling with Mr.. Hughes
wish publicly to thank Mr.. Jerome 70
his opposition to me-
Il present all these corporation at
torneys along with the campaign fund
of all their corporation masters in on,
