engaged of enforcing just and equal laws
against corporate wrong-doing.
President Roosevelt and Mr.. Hearst
stand as far apart as the poles asunder.
Listen 10 what President Roosevelt him
self said of Mr.. Hearst and his KIND. In
President Roosevelts first message 10
congress i'm speaking Of the assassin OF
Mckinley he spoke OF him as infamed
by the reckless utteranceS OF those who,
on the stump and in the public press,
appeal 20 the dark and evil spirits OF
malice and greed, envy and sullen hatred.
The wind is sowed by the men who
preach such doctrines and they cannot
escape the responsibility for the whirl-
wind that is reaped This applies alike TO
the deliberate demagouge, to the explolter
OF sensationalism and TO the crude and
foolish visionary who. for whatever rea-
son, apologies for crime or excites aim
lessly discontent
HEARST IN MIND.
'I say. by the presidents authority,
that In penning these words, with the
horror of President McKinley's murder
fresh before him, he had Mr. Hearst spe-
cifically in his mind. And i say, by his
authority, that what he thought OF Mr.
Hearst then he thinks now of Mr..
Hearst"
Charactcrlzing Mr.. Hearst as a violent
ana unworthy utlndSpEAt aAiN a P''N-@N
ent office-seeker. Mr.. Root declared that
as a congressman he had proved a worth
less public servant; that while profess
ing to favor an Independent judiciary, he
had made a deal with Tammanys leader,
Murphy, for the nomination OF a judi
clary ticket in New York; that while In
Weighing against corporations, his own
corporate management shows the insin-
cerity of his profession; tnat II is not
calm and lawful redress OF wrongs which
he seeks. but the turmoil OF inhamed
passIons and the terrorism or revengeful
force; that he is guided by selfish mo-
tives and that he is mot guiltless Of Nc
Kinleys death"

New York" said Mr.. Root 'one or these

HEARsTs MEASURE.
what evidence has Mr.. Hearst pro-
duced OF hts htess for this onice2 lie
IS really known TO us solely as young
man, very rich by inheritance, VINO mas
become the owner OF a number or sen
sational yellow Journals; he has taken
IN his newspapers the popular slue on al
questions relating 10 labor and corpora
tions aud has sustained IL by much Vlo-
lent denunclation and many falsehoods,
and he has been a persistent seeker TOT
office on the strength OF taking the popu-
lar side: he has published Whatever ne
thought would please the working people
for the purpose of getting the laDor
