Undoubtedly the larger portion OF
the independence party's vote in
the campaign OF 1908 will I've drawn
from the Democratic party. This
will I've true regardless OF whether
Hearst or somebody else heads the
Independence ticket. The prob.
ability is that Hearst will be the
nominee. lie is the favorite OF his
party tor that honor. Hearst will
take a special delight in defeating
Bryan. His hostility to BRYAN
dates from the Democratic Con.
vention OF 1904 in St Louis, in
which Hearst was an aspirant Tor
the presidential candidacy. Bry.
an himself did not seek the nomi.

Cockrell OF Missouri, who had no
chance OF getting il. Cockrell re-.

which the convention took, while
Hearst had 7o4. Parker received

inmate, but several states changed
to him before there was a chance
tor a second ballot, and he obtain
ed the candidacy. Hearst believes
that II he had secured Brvan's sup.
port at that time several ballots
would have been needed before a
choice was made, and in that event
he thinks he would have beaten
Parker. In 1908 Hearst will coun.
ter on BRYAN.
