Hearst will probably be a candi-
date for the Democratic nomination
for governor of New York In a full
page editorial in the Washington
Times, Arthur Brisbane urges his boss,
Hearst. to run. AS Brisbane is
chances are the editorial was not writ
ten without Hearst's knowledge and
consent.
That mean q hot time politically in
New York, where a persistent fight
has been going on for weeks against
the Hearst newspapers as disloyal.
Town after town in the state has
barred his newspapers. In some places
bonflres were made Of them. In one
town the city council forbade their
sale.
Tho New York Tribune has made
a bitter fight or Heast. The Times and
World have printed the stories of the
fight OF the National Security League
against his newspapers. The charges
are that Hearst was strongly pro-Ger-
man up until the time when we en-
tered the war; that he tried to stir up
American sentiment against Japan,
persistently attacked England and
desperately strove to embroil this
country In war with Mexico so that we
would be too busy fighting Mexico to
take part In the war against Germany.
Fol a time Hearst's International
News Service was barred from Eng
land and France He was not permit
ted to send cable news out of either
country. Last ear Arthur Brisbane
bought the Washington Times from
Frank Munsey. Very suddenly he be-
came ultra patriotic. He quit roast
ing President Wilson and began soft
soaping the entire administration.
Now Brisbane urges Hearst TO go
after the Democratic nomination for
governor of New York. There is much
guessing on what II all means. There
is some wonderment as to whether the
politicians OF the administration are
going to get back OF Hearst. There
is also some guessing as to whether
Hearst has really seen a light, or is
still pro-German and is camoufiRging
behind the flag so that he can reha-
bilitate himself and cut some figure
for his German friends when the time
comes TO arrange the terms OF peace.

JAMESBURG, July ILL., Repre-
sentative men to the number of thirty
from Jamesburg and Monroe town
ship met last night at the call or
chairman of the war savings drive,
John Kirkpatrick, in the rooms of FL

mary of the report made by Secretary
of War Baker to President Wilson on
Independence Day.
r. B. Elmore of Texas, a worker
for the thrift stamp drive. spoke for
a half hour on the drive, bringing out
many telling points.
I'VE must not only kill Prussian-
ism." said Mr.. Elmore, but we must
bury 1t In the dirt and then bury the
dirt after Ii. I have q son who Is
'over-there' and the asst words I told
him before he sailed was to kill every
German he saw and not to refrain
from giving him the bayonet even II
he was up to his old tricks of yelling
"kamerad" when a Yankee ap-
proaches and danger threatens him.
We must not only kill everything that
smacks of Prussianism, but right al
home we have n OF the worst en-
emies in our midst that must also be
conquered and that is extravaganza
among the non-combatants. The
habit of giving that has its inception
at this time will also be of the great
est benefit. to every religious denom-
ination after the war Is over"
John H. Baremore said a few words
In regard to the drive and euiogized
the workers of the George w. Helme
Company at Helmetta for giving as
small a sum as 10 cents per month
