II William Randolph Hearst doesn't
care 70 run for Governor, John F.
Hylan wants him 10 run the next elee-
tlon anyhow In letter he wrote 10
Mr.. Hearst yesterday imploring him
20 save the state, even II he had TO
consult Herbert c. Pell, chairman Of
the State Democratic Committee, 10 do
50, Mayor Hylan gracefully gives his
patron the opportunity either Of an
nounclng his candidacy for Governor
or Of assuming the role Of Warwick.
With equal grace the Mayor calls
attention to his own ability 20 play
York 70 Mr. Hearst's Warwick, and IL
is believed that the answer 90 his
epistlc will clarity the situation and
reveal the real Hearst candidate,
whether Il be Hearst himself, Hylan
or some one so far unnamed. There
are strong indications in the letter
that il will not be Al Smith. who Is
thought 20 be the "lsth and plaster"
candidate referred 10 in the letter.
II is clear, in any event, that Mayor
Hylan wants Mr.. Hearst to lead the
uplift movement IN person" neyt fall,
either as candidate or as editor and
campaign speaker. His power rs an
uplifter, the Mayor points out. Is
proved by the success which crowned
the Hylan uplift movement in the city,
once il was backed by the rslrst news
papers.
Up State In Bad Way, Says Mayor.
Nov the Mayor wants Mr Hears. TO
exert his efforts in behalf o. the whole
state, which, outside OF New York
City, the Mayor says, is ruled by fraud.
Ostensibly the lettc. - n comment
on the declaration OF PRINCIPLES Of the
Womcn's Democratic Alliance. which
Mayor Hylan uses as a means OF nitro
ducing the sterling worth OF that noble
power for political and GIVE uPlltt
which is vested in William Randolph
Hearst. The Women's Democratic Al
lance, originally a Hearst organiza-
ton exclusively, is understood now 10
be inclined strongly 20 the candidacy
OF Hylan himself for Governor.
"You have so constantly ohampioned
the very things for which these women
are fighting" the Mayor writes, "the
ideals o. the alliance are in such thor
ough accord with your own, you have
waged so unremitting campaign
against the heartless profiteer in the
necessities Of life and your efforts in
behalf Of women and children have
been so humanitarian and uniformly
successful, that make bold 10 suggest
that much good would follow your
open. avowed, vigorous and courageous
declaration 20 aid personally In wrest-
ing the control Of the state from
vicious corporate rule.
Speaks for "Plaln People
81 know that the plain people are
thoroughly aware Of how whole
heartedly you have been devoted to
their cause and how consistently you
have opposed their exploitation by the
,elf-seeking corporate Interests. IL is
my conviction, that this new and time
IN manifestation Of your determina-
ton 10 come out personally and wage
their battles with even greater ygor
will assuredly be attended with the
most salutary effects.
81 cannot stress with too much en-
phasis the fact that inscriptions cor
pora:ions will retain their hold on the
government 81 Albany and continue 20
impose grievous burdens upon the peo-
ple unless the honesty ea5 purity OF
the conduct Of our elections are sstS
safeguarded. ! make this statemen
adyisedly, because IL is rumored that
vast sums will be expended by these
eornorations 20 continue the State OF
New York under their regime, thus
preventing the return Of the hye-csni
fare in the cities upstate, a reduction
In gas, telephone and electric service
costs throughout the state and the in
stitution Of needed reforms IN the ad-
mlnistration OF state government which
will permit that government 70 function
efficiently and economically and with
a decent regard for the rights OF hu-
manity.
ave already learn that the corpora
lions and tho reactionary elements in
both parties are striving 20 have can
didates nominated on both the Demo.
cratic and Republican tickets who will
serve their interests. They are deter
mined 70 force the denomination OF
Governor Miller on the Republican
ticket. They are equally determined 70
force the nomination on the Damo-
cratic ticket Of q plaster and lath Dem
ocrat, preferably masked reaetlonary
Who Will serye their interests"
