haven't suggested that Mgans firm should have refused
to see Boo should have guessed what actually the
fact that the millions that he left with Morgan Co. were
given to him by the Kaiser for bribery
If another Bolo comes from France with credentials
from his government saying he great newspaper
Hearst will probably see him if he calls And the Morgan
firm undoubtedly will take his money he has any For
no reads the minds of visiting reads the future
Interests that hate Hearst and the tools that they
poy begin to realize that it is hard to build up edce
Of sander with nothing to support it. So they rely the
old maxim-"h you throw enough mud, some Of It win
stick"
They are encouraged IN their efforts by the fact that
Hearss newspaper competitors always ready to help IN
the mud singing.
If any man, not knowing Hearst as his millions Of
friends know him. has been influenced by the combination
Of corporation mud singing and newspaper envy let him
consider what follows:
You read that the German ambassador who saw nearly
everybody in America also Hearst who receives every
body
You read that Bolo little villain who left millions at
MOgans office left visiting cards at Hearsts house
And you read perhaps columns Of editorials attacking
Hears-prnted In newspapers that Hearsts competition
has crippled and made bitter.
Notice also the sequel and end Of the eaboratey built
up BernstOrf and Bolo fiction
Of course Bernstorf would have been glad to influence
Hearst
OF course Bolo, the swnder, would have liked to be
well acquainted
What happened7
They saw Hearst They sat talking at him one at time
while he sat drumming with his fingers trying to look as
though he listening to whatever lies arguments they

unpleasant duties that go with his public position.

No one read it, no cared what said, except the

good by the Kaisers money.
When Mr.. Lewis, or any other individual, tells you
through the columns Of Hears competitors any of the
varegated les ask one question before allowing yourself
to be Influenced by mud
''What would the Kaisers gang have wanted with the
dying useless Mail if they had been able to influence
Hearst's powerful newspapers
Would YOU put one and a half million in newspaper
worth nohng-unless it because you found out that
you could not influence real newspaper?
Lewis says for his corporate friends that BernstOrn
and Boo travelled together in taxcabs and together visited
Hearst's apartment "to plot Could you imagine any
thing decousy ridiculous In the way Of comic opera
than this asinine statement?
Bolo a spy in the pay of the Kaiser BE came to
this country to receive through Morgan Co., money that
he did not dare to receive In France
Bernstorf representing the Kaiser knew Of course the
real character of Boo the Pussan spy Nobody else knew
it. Can anybody imagine Bernstorf being such raving
maniac to travel about in taxcabs and go visiting
in with Bolo who representing himself and whose
own government had given him credentials as dstn-
guished Frenchman Of great French newspaper?
It takes individual Of Mr. Lewis high intellectual
capacity to allow his employees to make adavits pre-
posterous.
There is in Hearsts little finger loyalty,
devotion to his country and to the public welfare than IN
all of the cheap New York editors that take their pennies
from the poor and their dollars from the rich
Corporation interests foohly advised when they
seek to undermine Hearst through publicity They forget
that he controls publicity His millions of newspaper read
