The Emblem.
The next question was the selection
OF an emblem for the new party, and
this likewise brought out a flood OF
suggestions.
II suggest that we have a hat In
the ring" said Charles Well.
Make It the hat worn by the Con-
tinental soldiers who fought under
George Washington" sang out dele
gate.
GOOD" shouted the crowd, and ac-
cordingly it was voted to have the
cooked hat of the American Revolu-
tion. inclosed in a circle-as one of
the men put II, George Washington's
hat in the political arena
'"rhis is Americanism with a ven
geance," said Chairman Mahoney as
he put the motion, and 1t was carried
with a whoop.
A motion then was made and unani-
mously passed naming William Ran
dolph Hearst as tho candidate of the
party for the office of President OF
the United states.
Letters were then read from men
aiding the movement in Pennsylvania.
New Jersey, Illinois, California, Ohio.
Louisiana and Florida A communi-
cation also was read from West vir.
ginia asking for information and lit
erature. This led the delegates to
consider the question OF distributing
literature and the widespread publi-
cation OF q more extended platform.
Julian B. Thomas was called spon
to act as chairman of platform COM
mittee and to draft q suitable PAM
phlet to be distributed to all State
branches which are to be organized
in the near future.
Thomas also read q score of letters
which he had received from men in
the Bronx. Manhattan and points up
the state in New York. Many OF
these were enthusiastic endorsements
of Hearst and volunteered the infor-
nation that the writers were going
ahead with plans suggested by Thom-
az.
A committee WAS appointed to Sc
cure headquarters for q permanent
national organization which would be
located in Manhattan. and in order to
expedite this work Charles We'll was
made head Of the committee.
Meeting in Two Weeks.
Before adjourning it was decided
to hold a meeting within the next
week or two, either in Brooklyn or
Manhattan, at which reports are to
be heard from fve States outside of
New York and plans are to be made
for a convention and the organiza-
tion OF a speaking tour throughout
the country.
"I believe this movement is going
to win," sad Chairman Mahoney.
THE people are. growing more and
more disgusted every day, but they
seem to have no certain man around
whom they can rally. That is why
we have gone ahead and decided to
use Mr.. Hearst's name whether he
likes it or not. We think he will see
the necessity OF the movement and
come along with us when he gets
going"
There is no other man who is so
| we'll equipped to handle this move
ment as Mr.. Hearst" said Winfield.
| "He has been through the mill. He Is
! u fighter. He is known to the people.
They know for what he stands, and
there can be no uncertainty in their
| minds as to where he will stand IL he
is elected. His Americsnism is the
outstanding feature of the man. He
will make the strongest candidate
| that can be put up All the other
! third party organizations will swing
| to him and with the dissatisfaction
| that exists. there will be no doubt
as TO the tremendous vote he will get.
This time a third party movement
will win in the nation"
| at is now or never" said Thomas
| "The people are ripe for rh's move
ment. Hearst Is the man to lead It
and we will force. him to run"
II think the name OF the party and
| the hat of George Washington will
top the whole thing off," said Barry.

executive committee to assist in
starting the campaign: Charles w.
