Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1908-07-30

Hearst When it served his purpose
he has clutched at favors from either
the Democratic or the Republican or
ganization. But for him California
would long ago have had Democratic
governor, but there he found it to his
political advantage or TO the profit of
himself or of some of those employees
whom he allows to dominate him to
support any ticket whatsoever that
would beat the Democratic ticket. In
New York he has been Independent.
Democratic and Republican by turns.
When he was an Independent candi-
date for mayor and beaten he spent
four years crying for the opening of
the ballot boxes only to find that the
ballots did not reverse the original
finding in his case. He traded on the
alleged fraud against him long enough
to get a Democratic nomination for
governor and was beaten by $1,000
votes when every other man on the
Democratic ticket was elected.
That may have been one of the
things that Disguised Mr.. Hearst with
the Democratic party. And so. being
disguised, he turned to the Republican
party and compelled his personally
owned and conducted political organ
ization to fuse with the Republicans
in order that one of his employees
might be elected sheriff of New Yorl,
county and enjoy the enormous fees
and patronage attaching to that Office.
But the Republicans would not vote
for Hearst's man any more than the
Democrats would vote for Hearst. and
so he emerged from that struggle dis
gusted again.
1t seems quite natural that after hay
ing tried the part of free lance. the
part of Democrat, the part of Re
publican and having failed in all he
should declare himself relentlessly
against the organizations which have
declared themselves very emphatically
against him. What may come out OF
his new line of politics no one can def
nitely prophesy. But with all defer
ence to his populistic editorial writer
Mr.. John Temple Graves. who has de
scribed the Independence party as the
birth of new party idea," l do moi
believe that new party can be built
upon the personal pique of man who
resents the failure of the Democratic

Labor In the Campaign.
Now, mark this. Everything that was
asked of the Republican convention by
the forces of organized labor was re-
fused. All that was asked at Denver

unreasonable in any respect But they
were not, and the expression given to
them in the Denver platform gives no
right to any critic to say that the De
mocracy has surrendered to labor.
Rather is it just and fair to say that
the Democratic party this year, as In
1896 and 1900, recognized the fact that
the working people of the country
form the foundation of the country's
prosperity and has extended to them
the promise of aid and assistance in
achieving their substantial advance

Especial Washington Correspondence of
The Argus.)
The center of Democratic political
activity after shifting from Denver to
Lincoln has shifted now to Chicago
On the 25th of July Mr.. Bryan met
here with the subcommittee of the ma
tional committee which had been Sc
lected to choose a national chairman.
weeks after their nominations before
they determined upon the man who
should be the manager of the cam
paign. 1 do not think they made any
mistake in selecting Frank h Hitch
cock, for his experience in gathering
delegates for Taft has given him a
knowledge of the national situation
such as no other man in the Republic
an party whose name was mentioned
possesses.
The Democratic party faced a differ
ent problem. Nobody gathered up any
delegates for Mr.. Bryan. No public Off

the wonderful outburst of devotion to
the cause which he represents there.

lation. had no aid from any office
holder-because the Democrats have
no offices-or any salaried employees
whatsoever. 1t sprang from the be-
lief of the American voter that here at
people and who neglected the poll
ticians. / do not exaggerate when I
say that what was accomplished at
Denver, practically without any or
ganization or any expenditure of mon
ey, paralleled what must have cost the
Taft forces at Chicago nigh on to
three-quarters of million dollars.
But that very triumph, won by vol
unteer aids, each working in his own
section of the country, made it all the
more difficult for the Democratic ma
tional committee to choose a chair
man. There are men of loyalty, abil-
ity and absolute devotion within the
party who might have been drafted,
though few care to undertake such a
task. But not one had, like Mr.. Hitch
cock, travelled the whole country over,
seeking for proselytes to his cause.
None except Mr.. Bryan himself has a
national acquaintance.
Craftsmanship Timber.
Here are some of the names dis
cussed, and, with long experience in
Democratic politics, l can fairly say
that each one is fit for the work:
Hon. d. ]. Campau of Detroit-Mr
Campau was the man who in 1896
made the fight in the state of Michigan
which justified the seating of the silver
delegation from that state. The vote
OF the Michigan delegation was essen
tfal, not necessarily for the nomination
of Bryan, but to the triumph Of the
radicals In the Chicago convention.
| After the convention Mr.. Campau be
| came chairman Of the executive com.
| ,mittee, worked In and out Of season
! and made a contribution to the cam
paign fund which he, as quiet and
rather retiring man, would not like to
have me record here
