Mayor Hylan has perfected an al
lance with Mayor Thompson of Chi
cago and they are ready to begin their
nationwide drive for the nomination
of William r. Hearst for President in
1924
The club to be held over the heads
Of the Democratic leaders is threat
that Hearst will lead a third party,
into which will be gathered all in
surgents. farmer and labor elements
dissatisfied with the two old line
policies.
In their political dream the New
York and Chicago Mayors are believed
to see themselves in the United States
Senate battling for Hearst policies
emanating from the White House.
Seek Insurgent Help.
Effort Is now being made to attract to
the Hearst leadership the group of in
surgents, chief OF whom are Senator's
Johnson, Borah and La Toilette. Whether
these men would enlist under the Hearst
banner Is not so certain. They are
credited with aspirations similar to
Hearst's and their ambitions may con-
fict
Such Is the purpose OF Mayor Hylan's
mission into the middle West. To spread
the propaganda the Mayor had thought
OF going through to the coast, but In
-. rxtav nd mo
to sound out Charles F. Murphy and the
TIA nlmany leaders and TO deliver 10 thon
the third party message. Mayor Thomp-
son never has been recognized as regu-
lar by Republican leaders, although nom
inally he Is Republican.
Mayor Hylan made the following
statement regarding the formation or
third party which he said seemed TO be
inevitable:
with reference to the likelihood Of
a third party In 1924 my comment is
this: The people of the country have
been fooled In the past by international
bankers. the powerful public utility in
terests and their agents throughout the
United States. controlling both the Re-
publican and Democratic parties.
These interests are at work now TO
control the nominees Of both parties In
1924 and will endeavor to place in nom
ination at the national conventions that
year men whom they can control and who
will do their bidding. II that can be
accomplished their work is done They
then will allow the people to fight 1t
out among themselves. Either candi-
date will suit them
"The honest people Of both parties
and OF the different religious denomina-
tions have seen the light and are not
now fighting among themselves, as they
were once while these powerful inter-
ests were exploiting the people. In the
past big interests have kept the plain
neople al odds among themselves. be-
lieve these interests are now stirring
I'm religious and race prejudice through
the Ku Klux Klan.
warns Of HoodviniSfng.
."This sideshoy they hope will be of
sufficient national interest TO detract
the publics attention from the many
vital national issues to the extent that
the people will again be hoodwinked into
voting for standpat candidates, whether
they are on the Democratic or Repub-
lican tickets.
"Both Of the old parties must adopt
n progressive platform and select men
OF proved progressive records. III the
people want to get rid OF wall Street
nanipuIators and big interest control
at Washington they must begin now
70 4 ganize in every State In the Union.
"ff the old parties do not nominate
men OF the character Of Hiram Johnson
and William Randolph Hearst who have
fought these interests openly In behalf
OF the people, and neither party nomi-
mates a candidate OF progressive type,
then n third party will be inevitable
The Mayors arrival has not brought
political cheer TO the New York poll
ticians Triumph OF the recent victory
in New York has been dimmed by the
new Hearst cloud. Murphy showed no
sIens OF alarm, however. when word
came from Chicago that In his six
deys' "rest" there Mayor T7ylan had
been building Hearst political fences
with the aid OF Mavor Thompson. Dur
ing Hylan's stay In the Windy City it's
Mayor was In conference with Demo-
cratic state leaders throughout the
middle West.
Murphy has been kept Informed OF
what was taking place. He also has
been told that the Democratic organiza-
ton IN the middle West does not look
with disfavor on Hearst for the nomina-
ton Frankly, they say they would
take Hearst rather than risk n third
party split under his leadership. The
time ~ more propltious than ever before
In his lifetime for Hearst TO capitalize
third party movement Hylan Is fired
with new enthusiasm as result Of the
warm indorsement he has met.
Hvlan has spoken very frankly on the
subject Stree his arrival. He has told
the Tammany men that n the Demo
cratic party in natlon and state does not
resrond 60 the popular demand for In
srrgcncy nothing can head off a third
party. Nor has he been less candid IN
expressing doubt whether Tammany can
rise to the heights dems nded by the
neg thought" The Mayor appears
