sounded like dropping stone on q I'm rooI. tlao
the goods" when he yelled:
"On behalf of Allegany County I nominate
| William Sulzer"
Instantly the convention sprang into life.
Senator McCarren jumped UP. waved ms hail-
like arms and led the cheering.
''sulzer! Sulzer. Sulzerr' "Hurrah for BIZ
| Sulzerr' yelled the delegates. and war dance
was begun around the striking resemblance to
Henry Clay
When George Raines walked TO the platform
the delegates began 10 laugh and make rough
house" The cheering lasted for ten minutes
with the delegates on the chairs. Mr.. Nixon
pounding with HIS gavel. Mr.. sulzer swelling
bigger and bigger. the thirsty drinking beer and
ginger ale and everything in sort of half
maudln and hilariously happy condition. Sui
seemed 10 be the lost chord divine that
every one wanted to twang. II Suffers
hour OF triumph
Mr.. Raines told of Mr.. Suffers political his
tory.
While he was speaking Miss Ethel Barrymore,
the actress. came the stage. She was greeted
by State Chairman Cord Meyer and sat beside
him.
NEVER FOE OF DEMOCRACY"
Mr. Raines. in speaking of sulzer said:
He has never been the foe of Democracy. Who
does not know that the tribute that you have
paid him tonight is personal tribute Of friend
ship for his magnificent record?
Mr. Raines then turned to Hearst's record
When he mentioned his name the Hearst fol-
lowers tried TO get back at Sulzer's cheerers
and shouted loudly for few minutes, but the
effort did not last nearly as long as the cheers
for Sulzer. AS the cheers subsded some one
shouted
mo Belmont in him."
That started the turmoil anew, and a roar of
Hearst! Hearst! Hearst" was started, but it
soon died out
Mr.. Raines went right with his attack on
Hearst, in spite of many and frequent Interrupt
tions. Tried campaigner as he is the Interrupt
tions did not trouble him in the least, and he
waited quietly at each interruption until the
noise ceased. At one time when quiet was re-
stored he asked:
WAS the last speaker interrupted like this?"
There were cries OF NO! Mo-" The simple
question seemed 10 quiet the crowd.
Once, later. cries of Hurry up!" were given,
and Mr.. Raines quietly said:
ut would be better for you to let me address
the convention. then you will get through
quicker than If am interrupted"
He referred to Cockran's attitude in the last
mayoralty campaign at the Sunday night meet
Ing at the Hippodrome. before election when
he attacked Hearst
MI Raines then began attack on Hearst
was a representative of anarchy, communism
and socialism. He also again referred to Mr..
Cockran's previous attitude.
Il shall not be able in strength of statement
TO match in sharpness and intensity the state
ment of Mr.. Cochran at the Hippodrome in
condemnation of Hearst"
He spoke at some length of that MayoraIty
campaign and said:
Democracy triumphed. as Democracy always
triumphs when principles are involved"
He then referred to Hearst's attempt to capt
ure the state organization, going into the matter
at some length. In this regard he said:
For the first time in the history of the De-
mocracy of the Empire State the paid agents of
William r. Hearst created an organization to |
oppose the regular Democratic organization
flood wood OF the old parties He named 1t the
Independence League. The opponents of Mr
Hearsts organization were pictured in the most
brutal manner by cartoon and picture
I stand here resenting every editorial, every
picture defaming every man whom I honor and
trust. Since last fall there has been made g.
corrupt ceal between the leader of Tammany
Hall and William r. Hearst"
1T depends you here tonight whether you
will sanction the deliverance of the unholy goods
bargained for by those leaders. We all know
that the Independence leagues have been run
ming local tickets at the price of the salvation
OF the city of New York" he continued las a
Democrat I do protest against the delivery of
the Democratic party
Mr.. Raines then sprung mine on the Hearst
crowd by reading a telegram received by John
B. Stanchfeld from Timothy Speissy ex-Gov-
ernor and chairman of the Democratic State
Committee of California, Hearst's own state It
read:
TT seems inconsistent to Democrats of Cali |
fornia for the State of New York to nominate |
man who is doing everything he can to defeat
the Democrats of California"
There was wild cheer from the Hearst oppo-
they came to quickly and both cheered for
Hearst and jeered the speaker.
Mr.. Raines then went on to speak of Hearst's |
Presidential possibilities, said he was using "the |
necks of the Democrats Of this state for the |
stepping stone 70 the Presidential chair"
He attacked the newspapers controlled by |
Hearst. and said they were the sign Of oppro- |
brium known yellow journalism
At the end of Mr.. Raines's speech there was a |
pandemonium Of cheers, side for Sulzer and |
one side for Hearst.
W. w. Farley, Of Broome County. made a |
brief secOnding speech for Hearst. He did not go |
TO the platform but stood in the rear of the hall
NJ B. Jewell, of Cattaraugus seconded Mr. |
Hearst's nomination. He also stood at his seat /
