the people. He alone has facilities for
creating and maintaining an effective
organization in the upstate counties.
Who else beside Mr.. Hearst is In posi-
tion to make a campaign which will in
sure the election of Democratic Legis-
lature?
"In the next place, because Mr.. Hearst
has no entanglements whatever, he could
bring more Democrats In the State Gov
ernment and turn more Republicans out
than all the Democratic Governors COM
bined since Flower. He isn't afraid. For
five years he has been 100 per cent.
efficient in aiding and building UP the
New York city organization.
"Will it pay to throw away an OPP
portunity for real Democratic party
organization UP State. a Democratic
Legislature and hundred per cent.
Democratic State government in order
to crafty personal antagonisms and
promote personal ambitions?
ANY one who knows New York city
conditions will tell you that Mr.. Hearst
and Mayor Hylan are the only ones who
can carry New York city by plurality
large enough to make success in the
State possible. On the other hand, IL
all the Democrats in the New York
counties, where the leaders said re-
Gently that there was no one for Hearst,
would refuse to support the ticket. the
total loss would be less than $4,000, and
common sense tells you that out OF those
$1,000 Democrats the Democratic candi-
date would get at least 10000.
Mr.. Hearst offers to the Democratic
party OF the State of New York the
greatest opportunity which it has had in
thirty years"
Tilden Plan Recommended.
In regard to the organization up
State Mayor Hylan supplied information
as to what was in hs mind and that Of
Mr.. Hearst He said the publisher had
gone to the City Hail to find out how
he might help. The Mayor said:
II told him. he ought to do as Samuel
Tilden did: Help the Democratic organ
ization and go into every Senate district
and organize 1t, so Senators and As
semblymen may be nominated whose
sympathies will be with the people and
who are not controlled by the public
utility corporations OF the State"
Democrats who read this remembered
that Mr.. Tilden afterward became Gov
ernor OF New York and almost Presi-
dent. The Mayor said further:
Mr.. Hearst agreed with me that the
question Of a candidate Is not to be con-

locally is started. Then a candidate
for Governor and for other offices. par
ticularly for the Senate and the As
sembly. can pledge themselves to sup

While the Mayor said he would not
bc candidate, he did not state he would
decline IL nominated. but ii was prac-
teal withdrawal from consideration.
He added:
IT promised the people OF New York
would work for them for the next four
years. and / want TO keep that promise.
Then ] could not afford to 90 to AL

600 and ! can live in my little home in
Bushwick avenue. IL I became Governor
I could not afford to live in the Execu-

$4,000. ! would want to conduct affairs
honestly and would have to live in a
hotel or furnished ROOM"
Mr.. Conners was on hand bright and
early when the Democrats started to
get together for the State committee
meeting at the Hotel Commodore. He
wore his most expansive smile as he
greeted one after the other. He chided
Winfield $. Huppuch for attacking
Hearst some time ago and suggesting

you acted too soon," said Corners.
You can't get started too soon to
scotch a movement like that" replied
