HEARST PLANS TOAD SULZER
Representative to Be Candidate for
Governor of New York.
If Democratic Party Rejects Him
There VIII BE Third Ticket
in the Field.

New York, July BIT has beer learned
that W r. Hearst. before sailing for
Europe. told William Sulzer that he
would support him for governor, whether
he ran on the Democratic OF an independ-
ent ticket. Therefore. II Sulzer should
fail to get the regular party nomination,
there will be a third ticket in the field
with Hearst's backing. with Sulzer al the
head of it. and such Republicans and
Democrats as SuIzer and Hearst think
viii give it strength.
Sulzer has gone up the State 10 spend
several weeks gathering in delegates His
friends say that the indications are that
ne will go into the Democratic State
convention with at least as many dele
gates as any other candidate He ex-
poets TO be opposed by Charles F. Muir
ply, but that opposition, ne asserts, will
not be as great in the light of future
developments as it now appears. II
Murphy goes too far in his opposition,
Sulzer will make the speech that has been
burning within him ever since the Tam
many boss delivered TO the Cannon ma
chine in Washington the votes of the
Democratic Representatives from New
York
Sulzer will tell how Lucius n. Littauer
and Representative George r. Malby
acted as the representatives, Of Cannon
I'm the negotiations with Tammany Hail
that led 10 the transfer OF the Tam
many votes. He will also tell who acted
for Murphy. who issued the orders to
the Congressman, and how every one
of them but himself refused TO switch.
= Hearst has threatened ell along that
he would make war on the Congressman
who voted with the Cannon machine,
and it was the fear Of this that led
Murphy TO notify some of the most vul-
nerable of those Representatives that
they must withdraw Goulden. OF the
Bronx, has already declared that he will
not seek the denomination, and it is said
that Sulzer himself has had a hand in
this, as most of the assembly district
leaders in the Bronx are with him, and,
for local reasons. opposed 10 Murphy.
Sulzer hopes. and expects. TO get the
regular Democratic nomination. He
counts on the. upstate opposition to
Murphy to help him and he believes that
W. j. Corners will also support him.
He has the friendship OF big Tim
Sullivan. but he does not know yet
whether that friendship is strong enough
to lead the State senator 20 break with
Murphy in case the latter holds out to
the last for some other candidate. With
the fear of Hearst in their hearts. Sulzer
! believes that the Tammany crowd will
hesitate before they pass the steam
roller over him.
In the event of his not being nominated
By the regular convention. Sulzer believes
| that he can win anyway He and Hearst
have figured Il out that "Murphys tick
et.r as they would insist on calling any
/ ticket without Sulzer on It, could
be weakened by having Sulzer repeat
over and over on the stump his story of
the Cannon ammany deel. They also
assert that Sulzer would get a great
many Republican votes among the pro-
gressive who are opposed TO Cannon.

A SONG.

written for The Washington Heraldl
A song-each note rings true
Sent 10 my soul for you.
Twas God. who willed il so.
And love must learn and grow.
The song vibrates my heart.
Thou are its conscious part.
And so. sweetheart thro' you
LIES skies are growing blue.
1 need thy warmth and cheer,
Thy light; thy atmosphere
Dost bid me hide away
My soul behind its clay.
Why does the song prevail;
Why does my soul not fail;
Why does it come to pass
Since time began? Alas!
Why should 1 hear thro' you
Gods messenger so true?
Why is IL that you know
Thro' you ! live and grow?
The song the Master taught:
And thou vert In His thought.
Each quivering note rings true.
The melody rs you.
Shall hide my soul away,
Out Of thy light of day,
Before loves hour goes by?
The song: then let me die.
The song-then empty ache
A heart that's like TO break
What matters stone or bread
When numbered with the dead?
Why should best gifts fall last.
With JOY and beauty cast?
Why did the song come down
And bring so late my crown?
A song-the thing I feel
Twas God awaked the thrill;
A mans strong pity heard;
Each cord. each note, each worcW
Ny soul is at its height:
Forgotten sorrows night;
I stand on loves green hills:
The song-'tis as God wills.
