THE OTHER FELLOW SAYS
sIN THE CAUSE OF THE
KAISER AND HIS CREW"

In France wnei. a soldier has cross
ed the Great Divide they do ret say
he is dead. He has gone west" To
have gone west" is to have joined
the host of heroes. martyrs, brave
spirits who have given their lives in
Freedoms cause.
Anyone who inquiries at the offices
of Wilhelm Randolph Hearst today
will be told he has gone west" LIZ
terally and figuratively, the state
ment will be true. Mr.. Hearst is
seeking to get as far away from
New York as possible. Also Mr..
Hearst is dead-politically dead:
Mr.. Hearst is the most consistent
politician in America. He always
stands on the one platform Hearst.
He always runs for office of some
kind and always on a different ticket
from that he supported the previous
election. There always is a tremen-
dous public demand for him to be a
candidate. This is evident from the
way the Hearst newspapers call upon
him to run. He always gets defeat
ed, which is evidence of his wonder
full popularity. He has been a Tam
many candidate Aand an anti-Tam-
many candidate. ~He has been a po-
pulist, a Municipal Lacquer, an In
dependence Lacquer, a Democrat. a
Republican, a Fusionist and all the
time a Hard Boiled Egg.
Quitc recently it became apparent
in the Hearst newspapers that thu
great state Of New York needed
Hearst as Governor preparatory to
Wilhelm assuming the Presidency in
1920 A call to him to answer this
summons was issued by Arthur Bris~
bane. one of Mr.. Hcarst's hired hands.
In response to this nationwide and
spontaneous expression of the pub
lies desire. Mr.. Hearst announced
that he would accept the nomination,
reluctantly, of course, but nevcrthe.
less accept. That, of course, settled
the matter. All the Democratic State
Convention had to do was to go
through the formality OF nominating
him and those he desired on the
ticket with him.
One Of the first things the Con
vention did. however, was to adopt
unanimously a resolution introduced
BY former Supreme Court Justice
Seaburv, de%nouncing as a traitor an
editor who had preached treason,
practised treason and was among the
vilest of human creatures. Everybody
seemed to think Justice Seabury's
resolution referred to Wilhelm r
Mr.. Hearst thought so, too.
X decided. as he couldn't get it. he
not accept the Democratic no
mination. As a loyal Democrat,
he saw his duty was to
support the Republican ticket. As
Governor Whitman seemed sure of
denomination, Arthur Brisbane hur-
led over to assure the Governor of
t1earst's full and unfaltering support.
The announcement almost caused
Mr.. Whitman to throw a fit. He
ont with a public statement
hat he didn't want Wilhelm Hearst's
support and wouldn't have it, He
Hearst and all his works.
lie pleaded with Hearst to oppose
lin. He %insinuated that no decent
white man could afford to be seen
Hearst's company or be associat>
d with him in any way.
A day or two later Governor Edge.
If New Jersey, called off a proposed
because one of those invited
vas Hearst's chief lieutenant.
These evidences of lack of apprecia-
ion of him have led Mr.. Hearst TO
go west" But if he is not appre-
lated in America he certainly gets
.pplause in Germany, where he is
as a noble worker in the
of the Kaiser and his crew
