LEADER TALKS ON
ATTITUDE TO BRYAN.

MIR. Hearst is not opposed to Mr..
Bryan, but"
Without tho suggestion of a smile,
without the inferential winking of an
eye, with entire sincerity. Joseph r.
Buchanan, political henchman of Will
lam Randolph Hearst and New Jer-
sey State organizer of the Independ-
ence party (no longer league) made this
remark to an EVENING STAR repre-
sentative today.
But" continued Mr.. Buchanan, "the
independence party is not organizing
to support or oppose m particular
candidate for the presidency or any
other office. We have adopted a definite
platform of principles and our move
ment is composed of men who from
past experience are not disposed to
hope for the enactment of those prin-
ciples into law by either of the old par
ties"

league), continued Mr.. Buchanan, lis a
movement demanded by the people.
The fact that Mr.. Hearst is the fount
and inspiration of this movement does
not indicate that he asDifes to become
a candidate for the presidency neXt fan.
1t does indicate, however, that MIR.
Hearst and the tens of thousands who
are flocking to the standards of the In
dependence party have girded them
selves for the long and strong fight
against corporate abuses, against spe-
cial privilege and interests inimical to
the welfare of the nation
When asked if the Independence party
would nominate Mr.. Hearst for the
presidency, Mr.. Buchanan said:
Such a nomination. If made, would
be the expression of the desire of the
delegates to the national convention.
1t is entirely possible hat the candi-
date of another political party might
be indorsed."
