In 1902 vermueie was selected by

New Jersey independence Party
Organizer Makes Statement
Regarding Hearst's Position.
[speclal to tn, Evening start

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-Is it the in
~tention of the Independence League to
nominate Theodore Roosevelt for Presi-
dent On the radical platform outlined at
the Hearst gathering in Chicago last
week? This is a question that both
Democratic and Republican leaders are
discussing today with considerable con-
! Germ, for it is reported that this is the
plan which Hearst has In mind.
Those who are in the confidence of
Hearst assert that his one object in or
ganizing and financing the Independence
League was to split III the organiza-
ton of the two older parties. He a
! expended a considerable sum of money
in establishing his political organization
In the various States, and now has a
following in the principal States from
Massachusetts to California. 1t is as
serted that Hearst made w his mind
at the close of the last New York
gubernatorial campaign never to run
for public office again, and that he has
no ambition to appear at the head of
the leagues presidential ticket. What
he is said to besseeking is\the nominal
ton by the league of Theodore Roose-
welt and a campaign for him, regardless
of declarations and ~disavowals from the
present occupant of the White House.
1t is a significant fact that the re-
~lations between the White House and
the Hearst papers, or perhaps it would
be better to say the attitude of tire
Hearst papers toward the White
House, has been decidedly more
- l...i-- H. ~@zA f...t .,,Nnths
| than formerly. There are indications
that the editor does not entertain very
bitter animosities toward the President
because of the famous Root sDesch at
Utica during the closing days of the
Hearst-Hughes fight for the governor
ship, in which Root delivered the
Presidents message to the voters of
New York State.
."How could Hearst deal a craftier
blow at the machines of the two big
parties than by nominating Roosevelt
and throwing his league support to
him?" asked a Republican politician
today.
~ don't believe that Hearst proposes
to waste the time and money he has
put into developing this big organiza-
ton with a mere Endorsement of n
or the other of the nominees of the two
big conventions. I must confess that
II am greatly interested in what his
party will do"
Hearst has planned to hold the
League convention after the Democrats
and Republicans have met and made
up their tickets. The idea is to launch
a third party if neither of the plat
forms and tickets of the major organi-
cations is satisfactory to the radicals
Of the League. 1t is admitted that II
the Hearst organization should put out
a Roosevelt ticket, with Taft nominated
by the Republicans and Bryan by the
Democrats, it would present a most in
teresting situation.

done to save the inventors life.

Mr.. Edison has been confined to the

in the operation. He stayed with him
after the others had left and did not
leave the inventor until late at night.
He went to New York again today.

The following statement was issued
today by j. B. Miller, a member of Mr

was very successfully performed. Mr.
