CHICAGO, ] uly 27.-Wm. r.
Hearst, at the head of his new ma.
tional party, will loom large as a
factor in this years presidential
campaign. He will sound the key
note as chairman of the Indepen-
dence party convention, July ~.
There's no danger, of course, that
his candidates will come within 40
miles of election, but the POSSIBLE
ity will exist of the Hearstites
holding the balance of power in
some closely-contested state.
This will be Hearst's first ap-
pearance in the large arena. -Four
years ago he tried for the demo
cratic presidential nomination and
failed, although nearly 200 dele
gates voted for him In the st.
Louis convention. Convinced that
demands of the old parties for re-
form were mostly pretense, Hearst
then determined to enter national
politics at the head of new
party.
Hearst's party, as an aggressive
force in lesser than the national
field, has made old party leaders
take substantial notice In several
states. AS democrattic candidate

as good a man as Hughes in order
to save the state. Hearst was de-

ticket were elected. He ran for

His followers have carried

They have cast heavy votes in
Massachusetts, California and

at November's election is a mat

and democratic managers.
Bryan has made no concealment
of his disappointment over the fact
that the Hearst newspapers will
not be for him this year. He re-
Gently opened the way for Hearst
to come in, but the New Yorker
has said he is done with fusion
and will hereafter proceed along
independent lines. Republicans
have much hope that the indepen-
dence party votes will be drawn

The city council Tuesday night
will be asked to require owners of
private water systems to establish
a uniform charge no higher than
the city rate. There has been fire.
quent complaint against the high
private rates. The fact that own
ers of private mains eventually
sell them to the city for the origin
al cost of installation, would seem
ito indicate that they could charge
a cheaper rate than the city.
An instance which will be cited
to the council is contained. in a
petition of property owners in
North Kenwooi addition. More
than 200 protest against the water
charge varying all the way from
$1.50 to SITS for water nj the
homes, and from 81 to 81 a month
for lawns. The city water charge
here would be 81 cents a month
with 81 for lawns, such as are own
ed by addition residents.
