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 !

IN INTEREST OF PRODUCERS.
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

"Hearst Against the Field. "
William Randolph Hearst's candida
cy for president has advanced so far
that it's now a question between
"Hearst and the field. " What a shak

dry bones who jeered at the very sug
gestion of Hearst's name nine months
ago ! Seattle Times.

Ei < r t months ago I was so ill
that I vas cccr.pelied to lie or sit
clown nearly all the time. My
stomach "was so "weak and upset
that I could korp nothing on it
ai'l I vomited frequently. I
could not urinate without great
pain and I coughed so much that
iny throat and lunpswere raw
and sore. The doctors pro
nounced it Bright's disease and
others said it yas consumption.
It mattered little to me what
tftey called it and I had no de-
sircr o live. A sister visited me
from St. Louis and asked me if
I had evvr tried Yv'ine of Cardui.
I told her I had not and she
bought a bottle. I believe that
it saved my life. I believe many
women could save much Buffer
