convention.
Tn the state it must be admitted that
Hearst has been making terrific in
roads upon the regular Democratic
state organization. The Mack Demo-
Gratis and the Corners Democrats, the
rival Democratic newspapers in the
citv of Buffalo as well as the Independ-
encc League followers, are for Hearst
at the present time though many
things may happen between now and
the holding of the convention in Sep
TENDER. The southern tier is report
ed to be on the fence and nearly ready
to tumble into the lap of Hearst. One
shrewd politician says that the situa-
ton appear sto be somewhat like it was
last fall in New York city, when to
Judge from the volume Of talk and
noise it would appear as though the
entire city was for Hearst. Indeed,
the New York Herald openly declares
that nothing would please the friends
of Hearst better than to have him run
as well as he did in New York last fall
and then to have the two machines
join hands in once again counting
him out" 1t is argued that a second
counting him out would make his mar
tyrdom so complete that not all of the
money, not all of the politicians in the
country could prevent his election. For
according to the Hearst men who hope
for a second m~artyrdom there is moth
ing that the American people will in
sist upon 80 much as a fair ballot and
a fair count. And if Hearst stands as
the exponent of this sort of a thing
against the two old parties it would
apper as though he might put up a
pretty effective canvass upon almost
any kind Of a platform.
But it is in Brooklyn that the
Hearstites have been having their
greatest troubles during the past few
days. In the borough of Brooklyn
there are at least two warning camps
of the Hearst reformers. There are
probably a dozen or more factions, but
perhaps only two of these branches are
worth taking into consideration. One
of these wings insists in participating
in the Democratic primaries and in this
state participation in a primary prac
tically binds pou, no matter whether
you are a politician or a gentleman, to
support the candidate Of the party
For the Hearst men to participate in
the Democratic primaries would there
fore appear to be equivalent to bind
ing them to support a man like Her
rick next fall in the event of his nom
nation, and this from the Hearst
point Of view would never. never 10
On the other hand, suppose by partici

Brooklyn and other sections the Hearst
men could capture the Democratic pri

ization nominate Hearst for governor.
1t would appear as though the political
future Of Mr.. Hearst was bound up in
a correct solution Of that problem. If
his followers participate in Democratic
primaries and if he is nominated by the
Democrats for governor he alienates
the support Of tens of thousands Of Re-
publicans who are willing to support
him provided he will have nothing 10

the other hand, If he could capture
