TJie movement in fnvur of V P.
Ilcai'st for president is fouiidrcl 0:1 in
essentials of Democratic tradition an.
Democratic principles.
j Tlie Democratic party in its inec i >
tion , mission and history has been : .
| party of the people. Its v/ork aim it ?
J record have been ono of supreme ccnsld
: eration for Ihe rights and interests or
' great bodies of citizens a ? opposed t < ,
the privileges of class or to the favorit
ism expressed by legislative enac-tmom
for the few.
The reason why Mr. Ilrarst has de
veloped a strength so remarkable and
so sustained in the ranks of this great
I
party is because of the fact that ho.
above all the men now active in jour
nalisui or in politics , has been con
sistently and vigorously true to thes <
traditions and to these ideals.
Vigorous , Eloquent , Successful.
Without a break within the last
decade and with all the combined
forces of his great newspapers , scat
tered in different sections of the re
public , he has been the vigorous , elo
quent and in most instances the suc
cessful champion of the rights of the
many against the few. lie has fought
corruption , he has opposed extrava
gance , he has combated the greed of
syndicates and the selfish propositions
of corporations.
It is the force of this record , which
has had no change or variation , that
has endeared the editor of the seven
Democratic newspapers to the hearts
and fixed him in the confidence of the
people of this country.
More than this , the strength of th < -
Hearst movement is in the magneti-
and rallying force of den'mtpn *
against uncertainty. He came to ti ,
front in a period of uncertainty. < '
moralization and general Democrat
depression. While other leaders. lm ; ,
ever loyal and however interested , wt .
dangling their plumes and holding theii
tongues in uncertainty and discourag"
ment , the young and vital editor of
seven Democratic newspapers struck
boldly out in behalf of the tradl.i : i\l \
principles cf UIs party. W
note of hesitation or unccr.i..K. > . .
rallied the fainting spirits of a il
cotiraged Democracy and inspired .
rank and file of his party \vl.li i.
faith and now hope in the ultimate tn
umph of principles which had tow'
champion bold , clear , definite and elo
quent.
It is the old , old story whenever a
mass is demoralized the one clear ami
definite spirit in it finds the opportunity
in seizing the reins of authority in thy
sublime mastery of his own purpose ?
and of his own clearness and rallies
the multitude about the one man who
sees things clearly and dares to do
them.
Xo Factional CantlJUuU" .
Sir. Hearst has a definite strength in
almost every state in the Union and
stronger than that cf any individual
candidate suggested by any faction of
the 'Democratic party , and in most of
the states of the Union stronger than
the forces of all other candidates com
bined.
It is no reflection on the merits , capac
ity or the service of these old and hon
ored names in Democratic annals that
this young and vital figure of journal
ism and politics should have gone so
fast and so far to the front. They ai'e
doubtless as true and as loyal and as
capable as he , but he has had the cour
age and the clearance of initiative.
The clarion notes he has been sounding
for the last six years logically and in
evitably have rallied the Democratic
host around him.
Unless I am greatly mistaken , and
unless all the political signs of the
limes are at fault , the early primaries
of the spring will register a confidence
in William Randolph Hearst as a na
tional leader which will be an inspir
ing augv.ry of the Democratic success
tn the November election.
With the ranks of labor for him al
most as a unit , with the conservative
American people looking to him with
confidence and hope , with the sound
business interests of the country * com
pelled by his own record and his own
Immense vested interests to respect
him , and with the magnificent adminis
tration of his journalistic equipment to
sustain and diffuse his ideas. William
Randolph Hearst is at this moment
easily the most formidable candidate
for the leadership of the Democratic
party in the next national election.

University of California.
"He is a most devoted son und co
operates heartily with his mother in
business and benevolent enterprises.
"lie was educated in the public

"He is a man of tine physique , robust

"He is exceedingly temperate in hab

and risked uis life on the firing line
before Santiago.
"In April. 1003. he married Miss Milli-
cent Willson of New York. There is
a charming romance connected with
this marriage. Miss VTillson was
poor girl. Mv. Hearst met her and fell
desperately in love with the vivacious
miss. His affection was reciprocated.

After ho- graduation .lie took her
and her mother on a tour of the world
that she might have the culture of
travel. She is a very be.iutiful wom
an , with a charming personality. She
is much beloved by the mother of Mr.
Hearst.
"llr. Hearst is a strict moralist and
holds women in high esteem.
"Ills charities are unbounded. Ev
ery winter he furnishes free coal , food
and raiment to thousands of the suf
fering poor of the tenement districts
of Xew York , which city is his pres
ent residence , lie sent out three re
lief trains one from New- York , an
other from Chicago and another from
San Francisco and hurried supplies
to the Galvcston sufferers. Tie gave
large sums for the relief of the Jews
in Kussin ; a'lso to the victims of the
St. Pierre volcano district.
"As a newspaper man he has had a
remarkable career. He understands
the business in every detail , from set
ting type to editorial writing and
business management. His first ven
ture was the San Francisco Examiner ,
which he took when it was almost de
funct. Te put life and enterprise into
it until it has the largest circulation
of any newspaper on the western coast. '
He owns the Los Angeles Examiner ,
Chicago Examiner , a morning paper ,
and the lierat Chicago American , an
evening paper , the latter having the
largest circulation of any Chicago
daily. In Xew York he owns and runs
the Xew York American , the Evening

"lie is a devoted advocate of tLe *
principle of 'equal rights for all : spe
cial privileges for none. ' He is an
aggressive foe of the now form of- hu
man slavery known as 'trusts. '
"He prevented the waterworks of'
Nov.- York from going into the hands
of a few monopolists knownas tlie
Raniapo robbers. He smashed the ice
trust of Xew York"at an i : peas of
$2.30.000 to himself , a'rtd the babies of
the tenement districts call him 'blessed. '
