SPEAKS FOR THE PRESIDENT.
81 say to you, with President Roose-
weIt's aUthOrity," said. Root, "that he
regards ME. Hearst as wholly unfit to
be Governor. as an insincere, seIf-seek-
ing demagOEue, who is trying TO de-
ceive the yvorkfngmen of New York
by false statements and false prom
fses, and / say to you, with his au-
ahority. that he considers Mr.. Hearsts
election would be an injury and a dis
credit alike 10 honest labor and TO
honest capital, and serious injury
10 the work in which he is engaged
of enforcing just and equal laws
against corporations wrOngdoins.
President Roosevelt and Mr.. Hearst
stand as far as the poles aGunder.
Listen TO what President Roosevelt
himself said of Mr.. Hearst and his
kind. In President ROoseveIt's first
message 10 Congress, in speaking Of
the assassin of Mckinley, he spoke of
him as inaam ed 'by the reckless utter
ances of those who, the stump and
in the pubIic press, appeal 10 the dark
and evil spirits of greed, envy and
suIIen hatred. The wind is sosved by
the men who preach such doctrines,
ard they cannot escape the RESPONSE
biIfty for the VI kirIwind that is reaped.'
This applies alike TO the deliberate
demarogue. TO the expIOiter of sensa-
tfonaIfsm and 10 the crude and foolish
visionary who, for Whatever reason,
Apologies for cI:Ime or exeites afmIess
dIscOntent.'
II say. by the Presidents authority
that in penning these words, with the
horror of Preside nt NcI<5nIey's murder
fresh before I4irs, he had Mr.. Hearst
specfhcsIIys in his mind. And / say,
by hfs authority, that what he thought
OF Mr. Hearst then he thinks of Mr..
Hearst now"
VIOLENT, USWoRTHY DEMAGOGUE.
Cfaracterizing Hearst as a violent
and unworthy demagogue and persist
.Vnt ofice-seeker. Root declared that as
y Congressman be had proved worth
less public servant; that while pro-
Tossing to favor an Independents judici-
ary he had made a, deal with the Tam-
