WILL NOT SUPPORT HEARST
James X. Nct.uirc * for Bryan Be.
cause the Nebraskan E'ayOrs the IHi
tiatiyc and Referendum.

Syracuse, n. Y. April 27.-FOrmer
Mayor James K. Mcguire. of this city,
recently declared that he could not
support Hearst any longer because
Mr.. Hearst is not a democrat but that
he was for Bryan stroag, because Mr..
Bryan is for the initiative and refer
endum.
The Herald asked Mr. Hearst to com
ment upon the statement, and today
received a reply. Mr. Hearst says in
part:
Il am not a candidate for any Of
fee whatever, so there would be no
opportunity for Mr.. MCGUIRE TO favor
me with his valued support, even f
he were in complete agreement with
my principle and purposes. Then,
again, Mayor Mcclure may be quite
right in his assumption that l am not
a democrat l am a firm believer in
the principles which Jefferson enun-
ciated, in the principles which Lin
coin revived interpreted and eXem-
plified. | believe absolutely not only
| in JeffersOn's theory Of equal rights
for all, and special privileges to none
but in its practical application to
every phase Of public policy. l be-
lieve in Jeffarsons government for
| the greatest good of the greatest num-
Der and in Lincoln's government Of
the people, by the people, for the peo-
pie Il would have been a democrat
in Jefferson's day, and a republican
in Lincoln's day but whether I can
properly be classified as a democrat
in the present day is a matter, which
1 admit is matter subject to legiti-
mate doubt.
'In conclusion, let ME say that in
my opinion there is no question about
the value of the initiative and ref
erendum and let me add l have ad-
vocated the same measures for many
