The candidates on the Democratic State
ticket who believe they won out at the
election on tuesday gave a dinner last
night to their ~vanquished associate and
head Of the ticket, William r. Hearst. The
dinner was given at D~elmonico's. IL seemed
to be a sort Of consolation feast for Mr..
Hearst, who il to leave for California on
Wednesday for regeneration.
All of the candidates. from Lewis Stuy-
Vesant Chanler down. seemed to be very
grateful to Mr.. Hearst for THAT he had
lone for them. They expressed this in
their speeches, and Mr.. Hearst had the
consolation OF hearing his associates say
how gladly they would receive his advice
in the future and how valisntly they would
pursue the fight against the interests he
had opposed.
In fact, all Of the new State officers, if
such the canvass shows them to be. seemed
to be loyal to Mr., Hearst, with gratitude
~unbounded. II remained for Julius Hauser,
the baker suddenly lifted from the OBJ
security of Sayville,'L l., to make the only
declaration OF the evening for Mr.. Hearst
for the Presidency. He said he hoped to
have the pleasure of working for him in that
campaign.
Mr.. Hearst seemed to be pleased at Mr..
Hauser's remarks and the others that were
directed at him and made a speech in which
he pledged himself to continue the battle
against the interests that he had been
fighting.
The dinner, which was a small one, was
given in the red room at Delmonioo's.
Mr.. Chanler, candidate for Lieutenant
Governor, presided and his fellow hosts
were William s. jackson, candidate for
Acknowledgement; John s. Whalen, candi-
date for Secretary of State; julius Hauser,
candidate for Treasurer, and Frederick
W. Skene, who ran for State Engineer.
Mr.. Hearst lsat on Mr.. Chanler's right and
Records Golf on his left. The other guests
included the members of the executive
committee OF the Independence League
and some of the judges on the Hearst
Murphy ticket Judge Otto Rosalsky, the
Republican who was indorsed by Hearst.
also attended, The guests sat around one
big round table.
The other guests included the Hon. Fingy
Corners, Nathan Straus, T. c. T. Cgain,
c. W. Dayton, Melvin O.. Palliser, Leonard
A. Giegerich, Robert W. Chanler, Peter A.
Hendrick, Clarence J. Shearn, Otto Ro-
salsky, Samuel Seabury, Charles L.. Guy
and J. G. Follansbee.
In opening the speechmaking Mr.. Chan
Ter said that the dinner had been arranged
hurriedly by hose who were successful
in the battle waged against corruption and
who felt that they owed their success to
the name in which that fight had been
conducted "by him who was and who to-
night is our leader"
When Mr.. Chanler hailed Mr.. Hearst as
leader there was great applause on the part
Of most of the diners and napkins were
waved.
"As to the cause of his defeat" vent on
Mr.. Chanler, there can be little discussion.
He was beaten by the votes of Democrats
under the organization of those who feared
for their own political existence should he
be elected and of those who feared for their
own ~nancia existence should he be in a
position TO expose their actions in the past.
For my part l think the time has come
when the Democratic party should realize
that if IL is 10 be the party of the future IL
should recognize a. Democrats only those
who are Democrats all the year round

the principles of Democracy. ] have always

Mr.. Hearst, believing in Mr.. Hearst, | felt

anCe and landing before those elected
with me upon this ticket.
Mr.. Chanler said that all Of those elected
had but little experience in State affairs
and that they must stand together.
Realizing that we are for the time lead
ers, realizing that we are without an efficient
guiding hand or a brain to show us the
difficulties and lead us out Of them, VT
must unite. and when times OF doubt come,
as they must, when we do not know what
to 10 or where to go for guidance, We must
turn back to the principles as enunciated by
him during this campaign and see how far
we can travel together along the road which
he showed us. When we do not know what
to do let us say to each other, What would
he ave IFS do were he hereP
Speaking again for myself continued
Mr. ChanlQr after the QnnlQlSn had alh-
sided, Il say frankly that should he who is
to-day the accented elected Governor of
this State prove himself a man with brain
enough, a man broad enough, fearless
enough, to realize the truth of the great
popular demand which Mr.. Hearst repre-.

which we Democrats believe bind him, |

Mr.. Whalen followed Mr.. CHAMBER. He
pledged himself to carry ont the principles
enunciated by Mr.. Hearst and said that
he looked TO Mr.. Hearst for even greater
efforts in the future in behalf Of the plain
people"
When Mr.. jackson got up the diners gave
him a great ovation, particularly the out
and out Hearst men. Mr.. jackson did not
refer to the question Of a recount, but he
had a lot of nice things to say about Mr..
Hearst. whom he said he put in the same
class as Bryan. Even az a defeated candi-
date, he said, he had lone a great service
to the party.
"As far as I am concerned in my adj
ministration." he said, Il have never con-
templated such a situation ~ Mr.. Hearst

Julius Hauser, the new State Treasurer

and Mr.. Skene both pledged themselves
loyal to Mr.. Hearst.
