Democrats Should Give Guarantee of ! Sincerity by Nominating the Champion - ' pion of the People's Rights , Who is ; a Platform In Himself , Says Former - mer Governor of California. By JAMES II. BUDD , Former Govcrn- | or of California. : William Randolph Ilearst should be nominated for president of the United States by the Democratic national con vention because lie is the only candi date who typifies opposition to Crim inal Trusts and on whom the toiling masses will unite. William Randolph Hearst is the ONLY ONE of the many good Demo crats mentioned for the nomination .whose life work stands for opposition to and a continuous fight against cor porate exactions aud trust extortions , and who bas unceasingly striven for tariff reform and to better the condi tion of the toiling masses. Others may have fought nobly in some of these matters , but none caiik equal him in devotion to them all. and the ques tion "Who is the greatest champion of the people's rights against trust oppression ? " finds but one answer- " " Hearst. / And if we are sincere as Democrats , and platforms are not molasses with which to catch flies , we should give a guarantee of that sincerity by nomi nating the man whose name on these Issues is a tower of strength. The people believe in bim , and they know Le would enforce the laws ; they could but hope this of others. Mankind judges by the Biblical rule , "By their works ye shall know them , " and of this man's works there can be no ques tion. tion.Whatever Whatever may be the fundamental causes , of criminal trusts , they have come Into existence under Republican administrations , and they look to that party for assistance and support in return for open coffers during hotly contested elections. The sister iniquity , the present un equal and discriminating tariff , is in it self a direct creation of the Repub lican party and has been so scaled by repeated legislation as to fatten favor ed industries. No better evidence could be had of the close relations between the crim inal trusts and the Republican party of today than that disclosed by the lat- ter's repeal of the punishment of im prisonment for violation of the anti trust laws. When Hearst commenced his fight against the trusts , in court and before officials , violations of these laws were punishable by im ison- ruent. He insisted that there should be no distinction between big thieves and little thieves , but that all should be treated alike. And he could not be bought or bullied or turned aside. The trust operators saw7 ahead the prison door ajar and Hearst as an avenger of the outraged law behind. Pursued by Hearst , the trusts fled to a Repub lican congress as to a "city of refuge , " and they found a haven , for that con gress passed , and the president of these United States signed , a practical pardon for the past crimes and an im munity for the future offenders by re pealing all provisions of law which im posed imprisonment as punishment for the criminal violation of certain anti trust legislation. This was in effect licensing viola tions of law and fixing the license fee at such sum as might be imposed from time to tune for conviction. It is absurd to urge that the men criminally guilty of robbing the people would be deterred from so doing by a comparatively small fine. Protected from arrest by such re peal , the coal operators when brought before the interstate commerce com mission on the petition of Hearst re fused to comply with the orders of that body , and the cause now drags in the courts , while Hearst is endeavoring to have the effective penalty restored by congress. ' During the proceedings before this commission one of the trust operators , Baer of Pennsylvania , chief of them all , was forced to admit when pressed by Mr. Shearn , Hearst's attorney , that during a recent presidential election the trusts which he represented had been urged by the managers of the Re publican part } * to juggle their affairs BO as to assist in electing a Republican president , and they had done so. On this answer wonder at the repeal of punishment for their acts ceased. The Republican party owed the trusts this pardon and paid its debt , and Hearst was temporarily checked. The unrelenting fight by Mr. Hearst against the coal and meat and other trusts and the vigor he has infused therein , cou pled with the fact that congress could be moved , but he could not , is one of the strongest indorsements of the man. It is a matter of history. | A hundredth part of the energy dis played by him would have enabled a president to crush every criminal trust In the land. The persistence of Mr. Hearst in the interest of the plain people and his many efforts in their behalf are too jwell known to require a recital in de tail. And his devotion is not of re cent or of political growth , but is of k-ery long standing so long , in fact , 1 that it commenced many years slnci and without a break has continued One may scan the files of the Sar Francisco Examiner from the day he assumed control and there cannot be found a single lapse from devotion tc and advocacy of the cause of the plain people. If the Democracy stands for the rights of the people and is sincere in opposing criminal trusts , as it is , there could be no better way of convincing the people of the fact than by nominat ing Ilearst. William Randolph Hearst is a plat form in himself for the rights of the plain people against trusts' exactions. When the iniquities of the tariff are considered it will be generally conced ed that than he no one has done more to educate the people as to the neces sity for a revision. For tariff reform he stands in the front rank. In fact , he has always stood for Democratic principles , and no one has worked harder for party success. Not only have his journals since their establish ment thundered throughout every na tional campaign , but he has been one of the most liberal contributors to the cause and personally organized through out the Union and conducted an asso ciation of congressional clubs for the purpose of electing a Democratic con gress. Labor can expect nothing from the party in power. Still , those of the toil ers now of the Republican rank and file must be given strong reasons for making a change. Having taken a small part in the canvass of Mr. Hearst for congress , I was made to know how labor regarded him. I do not alone judge from the many hundreds of indorsements he re ceived from labor organizations all over the Union , but also from the vol untary aid of great labor leaders desir ing to show their devotion by increasing his majority. I need not cite the Hon. Eugene Schmitz , twice elected labor mayor of San Francisco , who crossed the continent and made a strong and brilliant fight for Mr. Hearst. He is a Republican , but a labor champion first , and he wished thus to testify to the great work of Mr. Hearst in the cause of labor. And there are many like him. Were Hearst named for president la bor leaders would flock to him again and thus assure his election as easily as they did that immense majority of 18,000 rolled up for him in his congres sional district. Who else can so unite these toilers ? Yet Hearst is not an enemy to capi tal nor to corporations. He believes in both. He has never attacked either as such. Only their abuses have called for their condemnation. His position on this subject was well stated in his acceptance of the nomination for con gress in a workiugman's district. It is sound and strong. He believes in every legitimate en largement and improvement of capital , and that labor and capital-have com mon interests so commingled and inter woven that one cannot be injured with out the other suffering. It is the un just distribution of the products of the joint operation of capital and labor , and the efforts of criminal combinations to absorb of such products all but a scant living for the toiler , against which he protests. Hearst is one of the financiers who would suffer from financial depression in this country. . His businesses are large and ramifying and of the kind that must be affected by financial dis turbance. He is in every sense of the word one of our greatest captains of industry. What do we greatly need in any president at this particular time in our country's history ? A strong , positive business man with extraordinary exec utive ability. The daily disturbances in the de partments of government show that underneath there is a seething mass of incapacity or corruption and that the methods long in vogue are crude , imperfect and costly. Abuses incident to a long continuance in power of one party render the introduction of a thorough business system necessary. The management of the affairs of the government requires much more than an able jurist or a resourceful politician ; it requires a chief exec utive in fact as well as in name. Not an enemy of Hearst and he could not redress wrongs and pursue evil doers without having them but will admit that in his business career he has a keen insight , a calm judgment and an executive ability seldom equaled. Hearst has handled anel created mil lions and , to his credit be it said , with out a blunder. Is he not a safe man ? Who is safer of all the aspirants ? Mr. Hearst is not a lawyer , nor is he an orator , but he is a thinker and a doer , a gatherer of facts and a judge of them. He believes in equality before the law. He also believes that social equality depends on factors beyond the reach of legislation and official rec ognition and that herein the utmost liberty of personal choice and inclina tion must be guaranteed the individ ual ; that an endeavor to force such equality upon a people is contrary to our laws and is an outrage on decency. His rebuke to the president , one of the first protests made , is replete with strong reasoning. Yet no colored man would ever appeal to Hearst and be denied a full hearing and fair treat ment. In fact , if elected president , Mr. Hearst would enforce the laws , re move or cause to. be removed the out rageous burdens of the trusts and tar iff and give to the country one of the fcest and strongest and most success ful business administrations it has ever had. If nominated he cannot be defeated , and we shall truly have a government of the people , by the people and for the people , and not a government of t&e people , by the trusts and for the trusts !

Ilearst Bill to Prevent Railroad Dis crimination. In Favor of Trn.st.s. Representative William Randolph Hearst has introduced an interstate commerce bill in congress which de signs to prevent unjust discrimination by transportation companies in favor of trusts and against producers of farm products and manufactured arti cles. This bill is of the greatest im portance to the farmers of the coun try in that it will limit the exactions placed upon producers by traffic com binations. The bill provides for the creation of an "interstate commerce court-which will have jurisdiction over all ques tions affecting interstate commerce and give effect to orders of the inter state commerce commission. Under Its provisions the interstate commerce commission will , after investigation , have authority to fix rates in lieu of unjust and unreasonable rates estab lished by transportation companies. One of the important features of the Ilearst act is a provision which will effectively prevent discrimination in the allotment of freight cars to ship pers. The withholding of cars from points and shippers not in favor with the railroad managers and the grant ing of adequate service to the Stand ard Oil , the coal and the steel trusts have been one of the constant and effi cient methods of unfair discrimination. The Hearst bill will stop this. HIS "TAKING" WAY. Trusts Fear Hearst. The trusts and the so called business interests of the country are afraid of Roosevelt because they do not know what he may do. They are afraid of Hearst because they know what he will do ; hence they are moving heaven and earth to induce the Democrats to nominate some man on whose favor they may surely rely. This is the situ ation in a nutshell. Tyler ( Tex. ) Dem ocrat. "Hearst Against the Field.
