hNbAAAN ~
a Criminal Element Among the Rich
-Decorates McCarren win n New
EpIthet Eight speeches In Brooklyn
In Brooklyn last night, where he delivered
eight speeches, William r.. Hearst made the
most violent attack on newspapers opposed
to him he has yet made this campaign.
He accused practically every newspaper in
New York except his, own and the Press
of unfairness, and then attacked the pro-
prietors of those papers personally.
Mr.. Hearst renewed his attack on Senator
McCarren, in the heart Of McCarren's Senate
district, the Seventh, n found a new
phrase To belt McCarren with.
This man McCarren," said Mr. Hearst,
no more deserves the name OF Democrat
than a carrion crow deserves to be called
the American eagle
All Of Mr.. Hearst's meetings in Brook
lyn were large and the audiences invariably
made plenty Of noise. In Franz's Hall,
Long Island City, where there is much
feeling against Mr.. Hearst because Of the
deal Borough President Bermel got at
the Buffalo convention, he was received
with less favor than had been anticipated.
The audience was big enough to jam the
hall. II gave him a yell when he went
in and a veil when he left. There was not
the real ring OF enthusiasm about it, how
ever, and most Of the cheering wan done
| by two or three dozen men in the front
| rows and on the speakers platform, that
shouted themselves hoarse and red In the
face.
In Brooklyn Mr.. Hearst addressed meet
ings at Decorior Hall in Gates avenue, in a
big tent at Broadway and C~hauncey street,
in the Fifteenth Assembly District Jefferson
| Club, a McCarren organization in
Assembly rooms in Wyona street, in Apollo
Hall in Thatford avenue and finished up at
Watson's Theatre. Mr.. Hearst's reception
in Brooklyn was undoubtedly more en-
thusiastic than he got in CAssidytown.
Starting his speechmaking in Long Island
| City, Mr.. Hearst declared that a criminal
element existed among the rich and power
full as well as among the poor and ~iendless
He said that a number OF trust officials had
been convicted recently, and that the trusts
will make a desperate effort to preserve
their special privileges and political power.
The Board of Elections, said Mr.. Hearst,
-has already begun its ~disgraceful and
discreditable work. 1t has allowed the
peoples petitions, intrusted to its care, to
be marked. mutilated and destroyed"
Mr.. Hearst read a letter from Herbert 8.
Limburg, addressed to Chief Justice Edgar
NJ. Cullen Of the Court Of Appeals, in which
| Limburg asserted that the action OF the
Court in throwing out petitions was nothing
less than revolutionary and that IL this de-
cision should be upheld IL would mean the
death Of all independent movements in the
future.
while I could afford myself" said Mr..
Hearst, ito get up the most expensive Pc
titions, what opportunity would a poor man
haVe?- Then Mr.. Hearst broke put against
newspapers which are opposing his election.
He asserted that the people were deserted
and BETRAYED by the so-called free press.
In attacking the Board Of Elections. which
he said lis composed Of discredited poll
ticians who last year helped the Fraud
mayor TO steal his election Mr.. Hearst
declared that one of the board has sever
teen service stripes in the shape OF indict-
ments for various offences and that AN
other is the minion Of McCarren, that 30
called Democrat, who has no more right to
the name than a carrion CT " has 20 the
name Of the American eagle
Mr.. Hearst got most OF his cheering last
night when he insisted vigorously hat he
had no personal desire for Office and that
his sole object was to serve the people.
If you think another man can do that
better" said he, vote for him by all means.
II you think l can serve you best l ask
your votes for that reason, and for that
reason alone. Whether l am elected OF not
/ an enlisted in this battle to the end, and
l will fight in the lead or in the ranks, as
you desire. If you see fit to elect me and
my associates and give us an honest Leg

the power OF the people and whip these
corrupt corporations out Of the temple OF
our Government"
Mr.. Hearst rang in a new Lincoln phrase
OF two that caught the fancy OF the crowds
and evoked a yell of delight every time.
He said: Mr.. Hughes has asked II Lin
coin were here. would he be for Hearst?'
Whether Lincoln would be for Hearst or not,
Hearst would be- for Lincoln"
Mr.. Hearst repeated this speech sub
stantially at every meeting. In Decorior
Hall. Brooklyn. he was'a little surprised to
see a fine large lemon on the speakers
table. No explanation was offered for the
presence OF the fruit and it highly amused
q considerable section Of the crowd. There
were 5000 people under a big top az Broad
way and Chauncey street. Williamsburg,
and they gave the candidate a warm re-
ception. Al the Cory Corner. where he
wound up the nights work, he got one Of the
best receptions OF the evening. The audi
encc wasn't 20 big. but IL was full OF ginger
