Hearst on Bryan.

There are at least two more national
conventions yet to be held. The Ma
tional Prohibition party is holding it's
convention today and tomorrow at
Columbus, Ohio, and Hearst's indie
pendence party will meet at Chicago
July q to name standard bearers.
Hearst through his papers makes it
plain that the attempt of the Ne
braskan to win his favor was COM
plete failure. In his attempt to carry
water on both shoulders-to pose as
having gained sanity and conservatism
with added years and at the same
time to keep the support of those radi-
Gals who hesitate to call themselves
Socalists-Bryan has made overtures
of late to the Hearst crowd. He
realizes the strength of the yellow
journal king with certain classes and
has yearned for the votes that Hearst
could deliver to him in the great
cities. But Hearst is for Hearst all
the time, and however much he and
Bryan may have in common in their
political views Hearst makes it plain
that he will oppose Bryan as actively
as he will oppose Taft in the coming
campaign.
Of course it goes without saying that
he will oppose Taft, and his OPPOSE
ton can hardly fail to be source of
strength to the Republican candidate
But his opposition to Bryan is a diff
ferent matter to that gentleman, for
the Hearst following is almost wholly
made up of former Democrats, men
who would follow Bryan were it not
for their greater allegiance to Hearst.
In announcing his attitude through
the New York American Hearst gets
in some very vigorous whacks at
Bryan ana the Denver platform. Here
is a sample:
"For the third time William ]. Bryan
has been nominated by the Demo-
cratic Party-or rather by that frag-
ment of former efficiency which is
called the Democratic party. We have
lost confidence in the Democratic
party, as millions of other Democrats
have done. We cannot see in this
nomination any hope.
1--WE are bound to add, with regret
that we have lost confidence also in
William j. Bryan, who by we'll
manipulated bosS-ship has compelled
this nomination.
mo reliance can be placed on the
Democratic platform or on Bryan's
declarations. The Democratic plat
form declares for one set of principles
at one election and for an entirely diff
fcr"nt set at the next election, while
Bryan is apparently without perma-
nent principle or sincere conviction or
even honest attitude.
"A note is promise to pay. 1t is
valuable according to who makes it
ana who indorses it, A platform is q
promise to perform; and a platform
made by the Democratic party and in
dorsed by Mr.. Bryan is not worth the
paper it is written on.
1.-The Democratic party has become
we2thercock Of what it's inferior lead
ers imagine to be the expression of
the corporation instinct and serviiity
of a Parker. and it is ready at the
next moment to reflect the half-baked
il,-matured opinions of some imagin-
airy radical"

This is the way Missouri exchange,
the Kansas City Journal, views the
political situation at is clearly evident
that Bryan is determined to make a
radical campaign to the farthest cX-
tremity in appealing to the masses
as against the classes. No dem
agogue in all history has gone
farther in stirring up class hatred than
this Nebraska office chaser will go this
year.

Why is buckwheat, once Aroostools's
staple crop, now almost thing of the
past? The Fort Fairfield Review has
asked that question of many farmers.
The answer is generally this: When
grain is sown here nowadays the
ground is generally seeded to grass,
and the grass comes along much better
with wheat or oats than with buck
wheat. Then farmers generally think
they can get along without buckwheat
better than without wheat or oats.
Again. buckwheat is a more uncertain
crop than oats. especially on low
ground.
