THE SECESSION OF HEARST.
Independenco Party Convention Little
Mors Than a Joke Its Candidates
Arouto No Enthusiasm Movement
Inspired by a Spirit of Revenge The
Gompers Cablegram.
By WILLIS J. ADUOT.
Given Norman 11 Mack, the owner
of the Buffalo Times, for chairman;
Urey Woodson, the owner of the
Owensboro Messenger, for secretary,
nml Governor Hnskell, formerly n
newspaper miin of OUIiihotnn, for
treasurer, It would look ns If the Dcm
oerntle party was Kolns into this cam
imhsii pretty well fortified by working
n;e:nbors of tin press. Mr. Bryan
himself has not been Inching In bin
newspaper activities. HouietluieH, ln
iIlhhI, he luiH boon Jeered at by the .op
position because In JSOO before he was
nominated he was writing articles for
the Omaha World-Herald. It seems
curious that the only thing a man can
tin without being ridiculed by the Re
publican press Is to he a federal judge
and Issue Injunctions against labor, ns
did Mr. Taff, or to be a corporation
lawyer and take fees from the Stand
ard Oil company, as did Mr. Taft's as
sociate oil the Republican ticket, Mr.
Sherman.
A Persistent Job Holder.
So there go into the campaign two
parties, one of which stands, so far as
Its candidates are concerned, ns the
representative of the working element
of this country. We can match at any
time Mr. Bryan against Mr. Tuft us
a man who has fought his own tight,
won his own way, never held an ap
pointive otlice of any sort, and who. If
never yet elected to olllce, except In
his early days to congress, has made
his way successfully by Individual
and Intellectual effort to his present
I"w't'0H- l ls uo necessary to suy
liiiyuimg nosuie 10 .mi. mil. 11 is inn,
however, to recount his record. For
eighteen years he has never failed to
be on the government payroll. Once
only he ran for an elective otlice, and
that was after he had held that same
position by the power of presidential
favor. As a persistent anil long time
occupant of federal Jobs there are few
who can equal his record. There will
lie boys almost able to Vote In the com
ing election who were born when Taft
was holding his tlrst feiler.fl job and
who have not seen htm out of one. As
a pet of fortune Mr. Taft certainly
leads the list. As a real executive he

has yet to be tested, because lie lias al
and Miss! ways served absolutely under the ill-
rection of a bigger man, or at least a
more dominant man, who told him
what he had to do. And I have- found
that In tin.' middle west at least the
feeling that the more dominant man
will continue to dominate Is hurting
the Taft chances very materially. One
man's acquaintance, even though he
tries to extend It as far as possible. K
after all. but a tdlght Index to pubic
sentiment. But 1 think that here In
Chicago, which I should regard ns not
at all a friendly city to the Democratic
ticket, I have met not less than thirty
Republicans who have resented the
Taft nommitlon more because tlicy
felt It an affront upon their party and
a violation of the light of the party
Itself to pick Its standard bearer than
for any other reason.
Hearst's Secession.
The Democratic party goes Into the
campaign facing, of course, a serious
lack of funds, for that Is always Its lot.
But It goes la this time with absolutely
no apparent dissension among Its lead-
1 ers
The Hearst secession was made
ridiculous by the convention held
' on'v
lu Chicago. The Republican conven
tion wns liolil nt I ho ("ViIIkiimmi which
- sealed 14,000 people. The Democratic
national convention was held at Den
vcr In a convention hull whlchHeated
seven more nud was packed to the
doors. The Hearst convention, held
last of all In Chicago, was In a hall
thut 8eate(l so People, and one man
was nble to make so much of a clamor
,.., ,,. Tf .. ,..,,.
ngalnst the Hearst programme that
I the convention was nearly carried
awny, and it became necessary to call
out the police reserves to save the sin
gle delegate who asserted himself from
the riot and the wrath of the Hearst
employees. There was never so trivial
or so futile a convention held. But Its
I features are worth chronicling here lo
calise of their humorous character. A
delegate who offered a resolution de
claring that the convention was free
and untnimmeled by any Individual
' was howled off the floor by delegates
1 from Arizona, Missouri, Arkansas aud
other statfs. most of whom were rec
ogulzed to be drivers of the Hearst de
livery wagons In Chicago. The unfor
tunate delegate who dared to mention
Mr. Bryan's name was m roughly han
dled by the same forces that It re
, quired a detail of police to protect lilui.
A One Man Party. t
1 And yet at this writing, only a few
' days after the convention of the so
called "Indeiwndent" party has ad
journed, one cannot find hi any Chi
cago newspaper the vost cusual ref-
erouce to Its recent existence or to the
ticket It put in nomination. Doubtless
one could discover Information of this
sort In Mr, Hearst's own papers here,
but people In politics have long ceased
J to look to them for the expression of
1 any public sentiment whatsoever. It
i was Mr. Hearst who said not so mauy
years ago that he didn't want any
prominent men associated with him
because Ii- would have to consult
then and lw Intended to consult no
o ie In conducting his political cam
paigns. The danger Is likely to be that
few people, whether prominent or
otherwise, are going to consult Mr.
Hearst's newspapers as to how they
shall voteMrext November.
Movement Lacks Vitality.
No otic can really tell what the
Hearst movement for It Is a Hearst
and not a Hlsgen movement tuny
amount to. One of the strongest fac
tors in Hearst's newspaper organlza.
tlon announced cheerfully that they
would poll 'HX).(X)0 votes, but he was
the same newspaper malinger who tie
ilarcd that Mr. Hearst would be elect
ed mayor of New York by l.'O.OOO
votes. Arthur Brisbane, a more cau
tious compiler of political statistics
and not a less enthusiastic servitor of
his great chief. Is quoted on trust
worthy authority as saying that the
ticket of Hlsgen and Graves will get
In the neighborhood of "JW.OOO. And
yet Mr. Brisbane In making this proph
ecy llgured that even If the Hearst
ticket got l'JO.000 votes In New York
state It would hurt rather than help
the Republican ticket. The last state
ticket for which votes were cast in
New York left the I ndeppiidcnce league
candidate the trilling amount of near
ly 1.000.000 votes In the. rear. Prior to
that time, of course, under fusion
Mr. Hearst's Independent party plus
the Democratic party was able to elect
all its ticket save Hearst alone. He
was beaten by fi7,0X). As a result
there Is a feeling that even though
Hearst himself Is not n winner as
l candidate the men whom ln se
lects are even less strong.
Inspired by Revenge.
The really humorous phase of the
Hearst convention came from the ac
ceptance by John Temple Graves of
the nomination for vice president after
the clamorous Kansaii had been
thrown out. Mr. Graves Is Justly cele
brated for being the man who at a
banquet some two years ago warmly
urged that Mr. Bryan should arise lu 11
Democratic convention and put Mr.
Roosevelt In nomination for the presi
dency. Yet Mr. Graves took a nomi
nation from a convention which not
merely refused to hear Mr. Bryan's
name, because he did not happen to be
n member of the party, but nearly
killed the niau who mentioned that
name. I do not know what a Repub
lican convention would have done un
der such circumstances or what a
Democratic convention In like case
might have done. My guess Is that
the man might have been ridiculed, but
that the whole body of delegates would
not have risen as one man to assault
li 1 111 nor that the police reserves
would have been necessary for hs pro
tection. And that Incident more than
any other seems to me to Justify the
belief that this widely heralded move
ment for absolute Independence hi pol
itics amounts as yet to nothing, be
cause It Is not truly Independent, but
wholly under the control of one man
ami his hired men.
Parties, like poets, are born and not
made. They v:uuut he created for the
purpose of Justifying the whim or the
malice or even the revenge of a mil
llonalre, even if he owns a number
ilf widely circulated newspapers.
Opening the Campaign.
I have not the slightest doubt thar
many readers of this letter will won
tier at what may seem to them nnrt
has seemed to others the delay In open
lug the formal campaign of the Dem
ocratic party. At this moment the
Democratic national headquarters are
open-at the Audllorluin Annex, Chi
cago, and any Democrat who desires
to co-operate will receive courteous re
spouse If he communicates either with
any of the ollicers whose names are
mentioned in the tlrst paragraph of
this letter or with me. Thus far the
Republican, headquarters have not been
opened; but, as that party Is always
well fortllled with funds, they have
mi'lntalneil a certain organization be
tween the campaigns. In what Hhapo
the Democratic party will be as to
film1)! will depend upon the Individual
Democrat. At Mr. Bryan's Instance
nml with the very hearty and sincere
co-operation of the national commit
tee It has been determined that no
contributions will be received from
corporations, that no Individual contrl
tuitions or over $10,000 shall be re
ceived and that all contributions In
excess of $100 will be reported to the
public press prior to the election. If
I may urge upon Democrats who may
read this letter the absolute necessity
of contributing lu accordance with
their means, however small. I would
suggest that they send those contri
butions either direct to the Commoner
nt Lincoln, Neb., or. If their local Dem
ocratic paper has started lu response
to the appeal of Mr. Bryan himself a
campaign fund, send It rather there
Slips will be sent out from the national
committee ns fast as contributions
come In, giving full credit to every
contributor. Moreover, every news
paper lolulng lu this effort to secure a(
campaign fund which shall not be
drawn from the coffers of trusts and
monopolies will bo given a place on
the roil of honor.
Hearst and Gompers.
The Issue raised between Mr. Gom
Iters, president of the American Fed
eration of I.alRif. and Mr. Hearst Is a
curious one. Mr. Hearst sent a bitter
message to his papers, purporting to
be In auswer to a message sent by
Mr. Compels. The latter says he
never cabled Hearst on any subject
Query: Who sent the forged Oompers
cable message? Was any Hearst em
ployee capable of. doing such things
either to deceive his chief or to get a
good bit of news? Certainly that Is the
only way In which the Invitation to
Hearst to attack Gompers and Bryan
from Paris by cable could ever have
been made effective.
