BY the Asseeioted Press

The death of William Randolph
Hearst yesterday has brought
statements of regret from prom
inent Americans and newspapers
throughout the Nation, many of
which opposed his methods of
journalism.
In New York, Francis Cardinal
Spellman termed Mr.. Hearst, "a
great American patriot who
fought battles on many fronts for
all that America signifies and
who leaves to posterity traditions
to continue the fight for freedom
and justice that will encourage
and inspire Americans for gener-
ations."
In Chicago. Col. Robert r. Nc
Cormick. editor and publisher of
the, Chicago Tribune and the
Washington Times Herald, wired
William Randolph Hearst, jr.:
My sincere sympathy to you in
the loss Of your father His
life up to the moment of his pass
ing was devoted to the interests
of his country and of humanity
/.
At Palo Alto, Calf, the secre-
tary to former President Hoover
released the following statement
from Mr.. Hoover:
William Randolph Hearst was
the most powerful individual
Journalist in his day. His positive
views, his trenchant expression
and his enormous circulation
alone warrants that statement.
He. however, was more. for he
built a great newspaper empire
that has endured and will con-
tinue to be the most potent force
in American life"
Will Be Missed, Barley Says.
Vice President Barley said:
"Mr. Hearst occupied long and
colorful career in the Journalistic
world. He made a distinct i'm
preston in formulating the
opinions Of the American public.
He will be greatly missed by many,
many Americans"
In Washington. White House
Press Secretary Joseph Short told
.newsmen that President Truman's
immediate reaction was to ex-
press his sympathy for the fam
lily OF MIR. Hearst"
The Maryland State House at
Annapolis released a statement
from Gov. McKeldin who is vaca-
tioning.
He (Mr. Hearst kept his An

tive at $265, 900 a year. In three
months the Journals circulation
Ileaped from 10000 to 10000.
Mr.. Hearst was elected to Con-
gress in 1902 from the 18th New
York District and reelected two
years later. Those were his only
successes at the polls. In 1905 he
ran for Mayor Of New York on the
Municipal Ownership ticket
against Tammany Hall, headed by
Charles F. Murphy, and was de-
feated by less than $500 votes.
Four years later he made another
unsuccessful try for mayor on the
Independence League ticket.
In 1906 he was a candidate of
this league and the Democrats for
the governorship OF New York
against Charles Evans Hughes,
later Chief Justice Of the United
States. The publisher referred to
his Republican opponent as ''the
animated feather buster" an
allusion to his whiskers.
Mr.. Hearst openly repudiated
the support Of the New York City
political bosses and was the only
Democratic candidate who failed
of election.
Sought Presidency.
1t was in 1904 that Mr.. Hearst
amid great fanfare, sought the
Democratic nomination for Presi-
dent. Supporters hailed him as
the great advocate Of popular
welfare" Eight States and Hawaii
voted for him at the Democratic
National CONVENTION, but the
nomination went to Alton B.
Parker. who was defeated by
Theodore Roosevelt in the cleo
ton.
-Four years later he was selected
by the Independence League as
its standard bearer.
Mr.. Hearst carried on a long
feud with Alfred E. Smith, who in
1922 refused to run for reelection
as Governor Of New York if Mr..
Hearst were named on the ticket
with him as Democratic candidate
for the Senate. The senatorial.
nomination went to Royal S.
Copeland.
The publisher offered large
prizes to encourage the develop
ment Of aviation. He also went
in for motion picture production,
starting during the first World
War in New York and continuing
for a time in Hollywood. Many of
the guests he entertained at San
Simeon, with the former Actress
Marion Davies as his hostess, came
