THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1906. n T to BY NORMAN MACK Democratic Leader Declares Against Fusion With Independents. SPRINGS NEW CANDIDATE Abks Mayor Adorn, of Buffalo, to Run and Gets His Consent. Jerome Pours Forth An . other Wordy Torrent. . BUFFALO. N. T., Sept. 19. Norman E. Mack, member of the National Democrat ic committee for the State of New York, addressed a letter to Mayor James Noble Adorn today requesting a frank answer as to whether he would accept the Demo cratic nomination for Governor If ten dered him. In his letter Mr. Mack says: Kor some months, you are aware. I have been favorable to tlie nomination for Governor of Congressman William R. Hearst, believing thut he was the strongest and most available man for the party to nom inate. I'p to Wednesday nigiit of last week I favored Mr. Hearst's nomination by the Diniocratb: onveniiou, but the Independ ence League iionilnated Mr. Hearst and a ;iull state ticket and adopted a platform of principles. I am therefore now, and have been, op posed to the nomination of Mr. Hearst by the Democratic convention which Is to meet liero next !utsdny No matter how much I or others ir.lKht I: y to make It appear that this Is not a legal nomination, it has been made to appear so and ft Is so for all In- - tents and purposes and the press reports ftom Maine to California have put that con. atructlon upon it and should the Demo cratic convention to meet here. Tuesday next ncmlnate Hearst or indorse the, action of tne Independence League, as many people vruld say, it would to my mind be a surrender of Democratic principles which be a lasting humiliation to the great l(.mocratic party of this state and Nation.. Therefore, in common with other Demo crats In this state who favor the nomination of a full Democratic ticket from top to bottom by the regular party convention next Tuesday m Buffalo, I respectfully ask you. If the convention tenders you the nomina tion for Governor without pledge or condi tion of any nature beyond the performance of your duty as you see it. If elected, will you accept the same? If you will accept the nomination, as the, head of the party organization In the state I will at once proceud with other leaders of t!e party In the state to endeavor to bring; ' at.cut your nomination, not only for the rea son indicated in this letter, but because I believe you could lead the party ticket to victory. The Democracy of the Empire State must tav with the Democracy of the Nation and the Democratic party will never die or sur render. In replying to this, Mr. Adorn wrote: I would say that. If the Democratic party In convention assembled demands of any true and loyal Democrat that he serve his party and the people, it is his duty to re spond, even against his personal preference and to stand or fall fighting in the good old fashioned way for his party and principles. The Democratic party knows Its own mind and will express Its own choice and. If "this Is done freely and without dictation or compulsion, it Is the duty of every Demo crat to aid In the battle and assist In win ning It. Whosoever the Democratic party, free from dictators, should select as Its standard-bearer, that man should accept and fight to a finish for true Democracy. OFFERS TO SHELVE, HEAKST Chairman Muck W ill No Longer Fa vor Nomination by Democrats. BUFFALO, Sept. 19. The letter ad dressed to the district delegates of the second district of the Democratic con vention by National Committeeman Norman K. Mack and read this after noon in each of the six assembly con ventions held here for the election of delegates to the Democratic State Con vention follows: Tou are undoubtedly well aware that I have been favoring the candidacy of William R. Hearst for Governor on the Democratic ticket for several months past. I thought I was Justified In taking the attitude that It was for the best Interests of the Democratic party. However, since the nomination of Mr. Hearst by the Independence League convention held in Carnegie Hall In New York City on Sep tember 12, where a full ticket with Mr. Hearst at its head and a platform of prin ciples was adopted, making It appear from the Atlantic to the Pacific In the press that Mr. Hearst Is a candidate of another party, no matter what Individuals may say to the contrary, I am convinced that I cannot with propriety or justice to my position as the offi cial head of the Democratic party In this state any longer favor the candidacy of Mr. Hearst for Governor bji the Democratic. State Con vention to be held in Buffalo next week. As I understand It is the InUntlon to elect me as one of the delegates to the stat in vention from the Second Assembly District at your convention to be held this afternoon. I feel that It Is but proper you should know my exact position at thu time. In order that there may be no misunderstanding. However, should the convention honor me by selecting me an one of the delegates to the state con vention, knowing my position, I will deem It an honor and will fulfill the trust reposed in ma to the best of my ability In the Interest of the Democratic party. In the second assembly district Dem ocratic convention this afternoon, Nor man K. Mack and W. J. Conners were elected delegates to the state conven tion. A resolution was adopted in structing the delegates to the state convention to vote for Hearst to head the ticket, "providing that at the time of the convention he is not a candidate of any otfler party or organization.' JEROME'S LAST DELIVERANCE Dcwnils Loss of Popular Liberty and Roasts the Bosses. NEW YORK, Sept. 19. In a long inter view given out tonight District Attorney "William Travers Jerome, a candidate for the Governorship of New York, defines his attitude on various issues and gives views on political men and matters in the present Gubernatorial campaign. He says: There are. In my Judgment, some very seri ous Issued which seem not to have been touched upon at all in the present discussion of political questions. I have always contend ed that there was practically little political 'liberty for the people; that they were simply given a choice between candidates, none of whom was their own selection. The first tep of paramount necessity is for the people to gain control and fight to the last ditch for the ballot used in Massachusetts, namely, a ballot on which there la no narty column. If we had the Massachusetts ballot In this stfcte. together with the privilege of nomination by petition, the decent people of the state always would have it In their power to correct the mistakes and wrong-doing of a political party. The starch must be put back into the civil service to the very limit. The decent people of this state. Irrespective of party, do not Aealra that their appointive publlo offices should be .used as bribes to perpetuate polit ical power. There should be a great extension of the corrupt practices act and a rigid enforcement of these principles. I believe thoroughly In home rule as a Democratic principle. I believe that every mu nicipality should have the power to perform for itself all these services, which Involve the granting of public franchises, such services as are now usually performed by what are called public service corporations.. For in stance, I believe that New York City should have the right to own and operate gas, elec tric and all car lines. Asked as to his opinion of the pres ent strength up the state of W. R. Hearst, Jerome said: I think precisely what I have always thought about it that the strength of Hearst rests entirely on the cowardice of the men who assume to be Democratic leaders, but who do not and cannot lead the Demo crats of this state. This state Is naturally as normally Democratic as Pennsylvania is Republican. But the Democrats up the state are "men of probity and Intelligence and are moved by appeals to patriotic principle, and they would no more think of following the riff-raff whfch sets Itself up as the Democratic organization than they would of following Pontius Pilate or Judas Iscariot. If at the Buffalo convention it should ap pear that Hearst had great strength, you would find the great majority of delegates would be falling over one another In their desire to be proclaimed as . the original Hearst man. If. on the other hand, the pre liminary . conferences go to show that Hearst's strength is overestimated, the rats that would sell out the Democratic party for their own self-interest would run to cover s:o fast thai it would take a micro scope to diycuv.r a Hearst man in Buffalo. Mr. Jerome bitterly assails Norman J3. Mack and W. J. Conners, of Buffalo, who he saij would ruin the Demo cratic party purely out of self-interest, and pays his respects to C. F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall. A very con siderable nart of the Interview Is de voted to an uncomplimentary review of W. R. Hearst's political career. This Store Will Be Closed All Day, Watch Evening Papers for Full Friday Announcement MIRPIIY HAS CLEAR MAJORITY May Force Unit Rule to Secure Hearst's Nomination. NEW YORK. Sept. 19. According to the returns and the reported affiliation of the leaders elected at the Democratic primaries. Charles F. Murphy will be in control of 24 votes in the executive com mittee at Tammany Hall, representing 20 districts, and will control 60 of the 105 delegates to the Democratic state con vention. These CO votes will enable the Tammany leader, if he so desires, to apply the unit rule and cast the vote of Tammany Hall solidly for the candidate determined upon by a majority of the i delegates. Up to the present time Mr. Murphy has made no statement as to his intentions in this respect, but during the primary campaign it was generally understood that Mr. Murphy was friendly to Mr. Hearst. In Brooklyn. State Senator Hackett and Mr. McCarren retain control . of the county Democratic committee, and will control 63 of the 69 delegates to the state convention. In the Republican party, Herbert E. Parsons, president of the county Repub lican committee, carried 22 of the 35 dis tricts. There was no opposition to William R. Hearst in the Democratic primaries in Erie County yesterday, and the full county delegation, including Buffalo, will be instructed for him. Ex-Governor Benjamin B. Odell does not appear to be discouraged by the re sult of the primary election in New York. He said: "I see no reason to feel discouraged, looking at it from our standpoint. It was a battle against tremendous odds, and the state organization has won a sub--stantlal victory. While a few of the leaders have lost their leadership, we have retained a majority of the dele gates to the state 'convention. I figure that from Greater New York there will be about 168 Odell delegates, while Par sons, Higgins, et al will have 15S., With a few things to hear from up state, we have nearly half the votes in the state convention within 20 or 30, I think cer tainly enough so that now there is no question about the state convention being opposed to the re-nomination of Higgins. "The time has gone by for personali ties. I want to make It clear that 1 am not saying this against Higgins because of any personal feeling. I merely mean that there must be a far stronger candi date to carry the Republican party to victory." Murphy was asked today if he thought the result of yesterday's primaries indi cated the nomination of W. R. Hearst on the Democratic ticket for Governor. "I cannot say," he said. "Tammany Hall is not commited to any condldate." Murphy 3aid he thought the unit rule would prevail at the Buffalo conven tion. In many section in up-state counties, the results are still in doubt. Former Mayor McGuire, of Syracuse, claims all three Onondaga districts for Hearst, but State Committeeman Haven declares Jerome has carried one and possibly two dis tricts. Mayor McClellan, in commenting on the result of the primaries, said: "I am content with the result." Complete Result In Minnesota. ST. PAUL Minn.; Sept. 19.
