san Francisco. July e.-congress-
man William r. Hearst said tonight
'I would lisc Co state very positively
that I avn MOI candidate for the
Democratic presidential nomination m
1905.
"Mr BRYAN said thc other day IN
London that there were others beside
himself who had claims ON the uomi-
nation through services rendered The
Democracy and mentioned pleasantly
SIR. Folk. Mr. Bailey and myself
"While approaching Mr. Byan's
compliment ! must decline 90 Doe con-
sidered candidate. Let The list
stand n Mn Bryan pleascs. Bryan or
Folk or Bailey For my part | would
substitute Stevenson for Bailey.
"Mr Bryan's services 20 the De-
mocraCy are too well recognized 10
De rehearsed He has Ted the party
c0uspicu0usly IN two presidential
campaigns, and one senatorial cam
paigu ln the national house Of Con-
Frcss he has made the issues himself
and eNpounded them with a brilllancy
uucqualled. unapproached.
Mr.. Folks services 10 the De-
mocracy are notable and real. IN fact
his services have been rendered 70 an
citizens irrespective Of party for his
career as an honest and efficient pub
lie servant is an example 10 Repub-
leans and Democrats alike.
"As for MIR Bailey well, Bailey's
services have been rendered o. the
corporation end Of the Democracy that
! do not consider Democracy and
whose control Of the machinery NJ the
Democratic as well as Of the Repub-
lican party has led me To seek my
ideals in the Democracy OF Jefferson
and the Republicanism ~ Lincoln. ln
the Independence league. BJiley's
nomination for first place even by the
machine that nominated Parker
would be impossible but Bailey's nom-
nation for second place is conceiv-
able II would have the material adj
vantage Of iuuring Texas 90 the De-
mocracy ana Of ellciuug a subStan-
tial campaign contribution from John
y Rockefeller But its Disadvantages
are obvious Folk and Bailey for in-
stance would be- an OH and water ticket
that wouldn't mix-d ticket OF good
pure water and standard OIL
Bryan and Bailey would be- ALTER
atiye and tlckliug 90 the ear but would
sound too much like Barnum and
Bailey 10 suit the discriminating taste
Of the convention.
"Why not Bryan or Folk or steven
son in 1905 on the Democratic side
and why not Roosevelt and LaFQl-
lette on the Republican side?
