LABOR, BETRAYED,
TO DESERT DEMOCRATS
Democratic and COP,
Tickets Denounced
BY Mr.. Hearst

NEW YORK, July 1O.-WtWaGnn Randolph Hearst last
nght announced he could not support the Democratic
ticket headed by John w. Davis attorney for the firm of
Morgan Co. He also put the Republican ticket in the
category asserting that the common people must 40
outside both old parties and look to the franks of mesO
third pGty for hope of aeorotiom of present burdens
Mr. Hearst set forth his vieaOs IN the following editorial
White House to Wall Street, printed in his NeaO Yor6
morning newspaper today:
The proud old Democratic party proposes to substitute
the House of Morgan for the White House.
After spending than two weeks in deliberations the
Democrats decided to commit political suicide
They have nominated for President the United States
John w. Davis, attorney for j. p Morgan and Company
international bankers and fiscal agents for the British gov
eminent.
BY this action the Democratic party abandons its tradi
tona position of being party of the people and announces
itself frankly to be the party of the corporations
The people Of the country however, in reality have
cause Tor being deeply grateful for this kind of nomination
The Democratic party, instead of being secretly con-
oed by the bosses openly controlled by the Bosses
just exactly like the Republican party.
In the November elections no progressive or liberal
minded citizen will be fooled into voting for the Democratic
ticket because he at the head of that ticket the Demo
cratic emblem which used to be the emblem of the people
Every voter will now know that if he wants to cast
MS vote for that the bosses have NOT chosen he will
have to go outside both the old parties
The common people, both Republicans and Democrats
are thus plainly directed to the ranks new third party
the country -
THE candidate of that third party will now draw the
progressive votes of both the old parties Mr. Davis will
appeal to the conservative reactry voters already per-
fectly satisfied with Mr.. Coolidge
The arrogance of the Republican bosses was manifested
at Cleveland when upon platform which defended the indie
feasible corruption Of the last Administration they nom
mated ticket guaranteed to continue the last Adinra
tons policies
The arrogance of the Democratic bosses is now mani
tested when in the face of nationwide demand to drive
privilege plutocracy and corruption out of Washington
hey nominate the legal adviser of banking house that
represents chiefly privilege and putocracy and the most
sinister money power in this country.
Mr. Davis is able lawyer, a graceful speaker
charming personality and fine gentleman! He is also
next to former Justice Clarke of the Supreme Court the
most devoted advocate in the country of the covenant of
the League of Nations
Big business will pay him the compliment of making
money contributions to his campaign perhaps half as much
as they will contribute to Mr. Coolidge.
The Republican convention offered presidential can
didate who is eminently satisfactory to big business
man who has Cabinet in which big business is visiblv
represented.
The Democratic convention has sought to Guido the Re-
publican convention by offering the country an invisible
government of pluocracy for putocracy and by putoc
racy's agents.
"And both conventions nominated for President the man
who is the personal choice of the House of Morgan
