HEARST SPOKE - ON SITUATION IN NEW YORK - ---- from page one) for the confinement of public office, but that is not the reason I am suggesting other candidates. “I will do whatever the situation demands, but first I want to know what the situation really does demamd.” The journalist bitterly attacked Governor Miller. “This arrogant un-American attitude on the part of public servants owing allegiance to the big interests, is a genuine danger to our republican institutions. “It is the beginning of autocracy, that curse of older countries. “It is the beginning of the end of democracy. It should be fought to a Inish before it gains a foothold. “I am doing my best to fight it in my capacity as a journalist. That way would seem to me the best and most effective way for me to carry on the campaign in defense of the exploited and in defiance of the exploiters, on behalf of honest property earners and property owners as against bullying, blackjacking big interests. “I am a democrat because I believe the democratic party should be the party to preserve the rights and liberties of the public as Jefferson formed it to be. I believe in the principles of Jefferson, and I feel that the principle is ever more important than party. Therefore a Lincoln republican is a good enough democrat for me. “No one ever spoke in higher term of Jefferson than Lincoln did, and no one can possibly think more of Lincoln than a genuine Jeffersonian, democrat does.”
