Democratic Candidate Admits De

Direct Nomination and Will
Enforce Eight-Hour Law.
ELMIRA, X. Y., Oct. 12 William Ran
dolph Hearst today formally accepted the
Democratic nomination for' Governor of
New York State in a letter addressed to
W. J. Conners, chairman of the Demo
cratic etate committee, and made public
here late this afternoon. The letter says
in part:
"I accept the nomination of the Demo
crats party, hearing in mind the record
of that great party In the past, and know
ing that the membership of the party la
determined still to be ruled by the prin
ciples of Jefferson and Jackson for the
beet Interests of the whole citizenship,
rather than for the selfish Interests of
any party, class or Individual seeking for
special privileges.
Corporations Control Democracy.
"It cannot be denied that certain in
dividuals and cla6ses have at times se
cured control of the machinery of the
Democratic party and attempted to use it
for their own personal or class profit.
The duty of true Democrats is to deprive
of all authority with the party those
who represent only special Interests and
who seek to promote such Interests at the
expense of the general welfare.
"The Democratic convention at Buffalo
did this thing in a most conspicuous and
effective manner. Democrats, so-called,
but seeking after special privileges in
reality, were driven over into the Repub
lican party, where those of their class
flourish.
Privilege Versus Equal Chance.
"The line is now clearly drawn between
special privilege on one hand and equal
opportunity on the other. The Democratic
party, purged in this state of corporation
control and pledged to end the boss con
trol through which corporations act, nbw
has an opportunity to serve the people
as efficiently as It did In the times of
Jefferson and Jackson. To serve the peo
ple and the party today as In the days
of Jefferson and Jackson, It is only nec
essary to be sincerely Democratic and
loyal to Democratic principles.
"The attitude that the Democracy should
take toward great capitalistic organiza
tions now is precisely that of Jackson
toward the United States Bank, which
appeared as a menace in his day.
"The property rights of every man and
of every organization of every kind must
be respected, but today, as in the davs
of Jackson, it Is necessary to declare that
no power shall rise up greater than the
Government or menacing to the Govern
ment. "The Democrats of today must declare
and they must mean that no matter how
great the wealth of individuals or cor
porations, that wealth must not be an
irresponsible, dominating power in gov
ernment. Election and Labor Laws.
"The people beyond any question de
mand open primaries and the passage
of direct nomination laws to bring the
Government directly under the control of
the people.
"The enforcement of the eight-hour day
in Government work, the enforcement of
the law concerning the prevailing rate
of wages is demanded by the people, and
it Is demanded by Democratic principles
as old as the Declaration of Independ
ence. "Democracy speaks also in denunciation
af the Chinese labor menace, which is
now revived because of the Introduction
on a large scale of Chinese labor in
Panama. The suggestion to introduce
Into this country and to employ by the
taxpayers of this country a people of
low Intelligence and still lower 'morals
Is an attack upon the welfare, moral
and maierlal progress of the American
citizens.
Kid Government of Plutocracy.
"I accept the nomination of the De
mocracy, as I recall the great names
from Jefferson to Tllden which the party
has honored and that have honored the
party. I accept the nomination gladly,"
realizing the opportunity for useful work
which is offered today to all of those
that may be eleoted to office as servants
of the people and anxious to deserve the
confidence of the people.
"I promise faithfully, if elected, to do
all that I can as a citizen of the United
States In office to realize and apply the
great principles of the Democratic party.
"And I pledge myself to work with
others to rid the Democratic party, and,
so far as possible, all branches of Gov
ernment of that plutocracy trust element
that seeks to rule both parties and to de
stroy the Democratic party utterly."
Before a large audience, Mr. Hearst
spoke this evening in the Lyceum Thea
ter, and then left for Ithaca, where he
was scheduled to speak tonight.
The . theater where tonight's meeting
w-as held had been engaged and hilled
for a musical comedy tonight, but Mr.
Hearst bought out the comedy company's
claim, paying. It Is said, a bonus of $200.
The theater was packed to suffocation
half an hour before the time of the meet
ing, and a large crowd filled the streets
in front and on the side of the theater.
A feature of tonight's speech was what
most of his hearers took to be a repudia
tion of the suDDort of ex-Mayor Van
Wyck. of New Tork City, when he said:
"I do not want the support of any ice
trust Mayor." Hearty applause greeted
this sally, as did also his declaration
that "if any lackey of the trusts has
not yet departed from our purified party.
let him speak up, and ' I will help him to
go speedily, if not gracefully."

speech was frequently interrupted by ap
plause. An article published this morning in
the Elmira Advertiser (Republican), in
which, under a California date, doubt
was cast upon Mr. Hearst's repeated de
nials of employment by him of Chinese
labor, called forth the following tele
gram from Mr. Hearst to the Elmira Ad
vertiser, sent from here tonight:
I had the pleasure today of contributing
to your local charity, the Home for the
Aged. In a small way. I would like to con
tribute in a larger way and 1 will give
$1000 to the charity if you will establish
tiie truth of your statement that I employ
Chinese labor, or that I own, directly or
Indirectly, through any Hearst estate or in
any way any property at Palermo, Cal., or
any other property on which Chinese labor
Is employed.

UPHOLD VON HOHENLOHE
Even William's Own Secret Agents
Involved He May Publish Own
Version of Quarrel With
Bismarck to Turn Tide.
BERLIN. Oct. 12. (Special.) "Is the
publication of Prince Von Hohenlohe's
diary detailing the relations of Prince
Bismarck and Emperor William part of
a plot by the Kaiser's enemies to under
mine his Influence and crush the auto
cratic power he has wielded since the
overthrow of the first Chancellor?"
That such is the case is the widespread
opinion of disinterested persons who have
analyzed the Incident which is now con
vulsing the country and which may be
truly described as the paramount sensa
tion of the decade in Germany. Upon no
other grounds can the political experts
account for the relentlessness of the
younger Von Hohenlohe in exposing to the
world such objectionable chapters in the
Fatherland's inmost history.
Tide Turns Against Kaiser.
Public sentiment, whch earlier in the
week was Inclined to the view that the
Kaiser had emerged from the Incident
with credit, has veered in the other di
rection in consequence of the publication
of fuller details and especially of the
quotation of the Kaiser's assertion that
he might possibly lock Bismarck up In the
fortress of Spaudau. This of Itself was
enough to reverse the tide and turn.it
in favor of the Ironj Chancelr.
Clique Undermines William.
It has been known for some months
that the Kaiser has been combatted by
one of the most powerful and influential
cliques that ever undertook court in
trigue. It includes a brilliant array of
princes, grand dukes, generals, admirals
and editors, who among them have con
trived to sow dissatisfaction cn an un
precedented scale in all classes of society
with Emperor William's methods of gov
ernment. It was these "pessimists" the
Kaiser had In mind in his Breslau speech
In September, when he advised them to
get out and stay out of Germany.
With the Intricate system of secret
intelligence wherewith the Kaiser is
surrounded, it Is almost inconceivable
that he could have been kept in ig
norance of the approach of the Von
Hohenlohe publication and thus de
prived of an opportunity to stop It.
This, it is surmised, could not have
been done without the direct conniv-

May Publish His Own Story.
The war for supremacy may thus be
said to have only begun. The Kaiser
is a resourceful fighter and will not
easily be worsted. Today It is offi
cially announced that he has for years
been compiling his own account of his
feud with Prince Bismarck. If he finds
that the trend of opinion is running;
too strongly against him in conse
quence of the events of the past 48
hours. Emperor William may do some
revealing on his own account.
The third volume of Bismarck's own
memoirs Is locked up in the vaults of
the Bank of England with instructions
that it shall not be published in the
lifetime of the Kaiser.
STOPS PANIC-WITH FISTS

but settled back In Its seats when the

Wrangle Between
Unions the Cause.
ALL BUILDING MAY BE TIED UP
Contractors Threaten to Re
sort to Open Shop.
AFFECTS 50,000 WORKMEN
Strikes of Unions Against One An
other May Ruin Contractors and
Abrogation of Closed-Shop Con
tracts Is Remedy Proposed.
CHICAGO. Oct. 12. (Special.) Owing to
quarrels among labor unions, whereby
contractors are the chief losers, Chicago
is facing the probability of a great lock
out in the building trades similar to that
of 1900. Disgusted by the constant bicker
ing among the different unions, all of
which have been granted their demands,
the contractors threaten to abrogate all
contracts for the closed shop.
Here is the situ tion in a nutshell: The
new Marshall Field & Company building,
a two million dollar structure. Is tied up
because of a quarrel over the question of
jurisdiction between the Plumbers' and
Steamfltters" Unions. A heating plant
was being installed. The plumbers de
manded the work and the steamfltters
struck. Then, to conserve"peJlce, the con
tractor -decided to abandon the installa
tion of the plant, whereupon the steam
fitters struck. Then work was resumed
and an effort made to. divide the work
between the disputing unions. Then both
struck and called out the other trades.
Thus the contractor Is facing ruin, no
matter what he does.
Contractors and Unions Confer.
One of the most Important conferences
of labor leaders with representatives of
organized building contractors since the
historic stagnation of the building indus
try six years ago was called hastily this
afternoon in the rooms of the Building
Contractors' Council In the Chamber of
Commerce building. Those in attendance
representing the employers were: Presi
dent William O'Brien, of the Contractors'
Council; Superintendent Graham, for D.
H. Burnham & Co.. contracting architects
for the Marshall Field & Co. building and
the new Commercial National Bank build
ing. Representatives of a dozen organ
izations of contractors affiliated with the
General Council, like the Master Steam
fitters' Association and that of the Master
Plumbers. In addition, the Mason Con
tractors' Association was represented.
For the building trades unions there
were Martin B. (Skinny) Madden, pres
ident of the Asociated Building Trades,
and subcommittees from each of the 87
different local unions of the general
body. Recent alliances, which were
disclosed as existing between Shea,
president of the International Brother
hood of Teamsters, and Madden's or-
ganlzation. and between Shea and the
Bricklayers & Stone Masons' Union,
tended to show that lines had been
drawn by the building trades and
teamsters to wreak vengeance upon
certain labor unions unfriendly to the
allies, and the employers became
alarmed.
Threat of Open Shop.
As soon as the shut-down order went
out, tying up the Field building con
struction today, plans were set on foot
by employers to have a definite under
standing -with the men in control of the
various unions with which the several
contractors' associations have made
agreements. It was plainly Intimated
that, unless the leaders could devise
some way of settling lnter-union dis
putes In the future and particularly
the one between plumbers and .steam
fitters, contracts now existing, which
bind employers to closed shop rules
and the eight-hour day for 50,000 or
ganized building craftsmen would be
declared invalid.

JOHN BARRETT TO
GET PROMOTION
Chosen for One of Two
High Positions.
MAY BE AMBASSADOR TO RIO
Also Recommended for Vice

WINS ROOT'S GOOD OPINIOM
If He Does Xot Succeed Griscon
at KIo, When Meyer Enters Cabi
net, He May Help to Gov
ern the Philippines.
OREGOXIAN- NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. Oct. 12 John Barrett, now Min
ister to Colombia, is in line for early
promotion and probably will succeed
Lloyd Griscom as Ambassador to Brazil
with headquarters at Rio Janeiro. If
this change Is made Mr. Barrett will ba
promoted from $10,000 to $12,000. Mr.
Griscom, It la arranged, shall succeed
George L,. Von Meyer at St Petersburg
when the latter is brought to Wash
ington to enter the Cabinet. This changa
is expected to take place some time
during the coming session of Congress,
probably in February.
There is a possibility, but not a prob
ability, that Barrett, instead of being
transferred to Brazil, may take Mr. Ma
goon's place as Vice-Governor of the
Philippine Islands. It has been decided
that the office cannot be held open until
Mr. Magoon concludes his duties In Cuba,
and Mr. Barrett is one of the men being
considered to fill this important position.
Secretary Root is understood to look
favorably upon the Oregon man In this
connection, but no selection will ba
made until Secretary Taft returns one
week hence. Then the President, Mr.
Root and Mr. Taft will make the choice.
President Roosevelt and Mr. Root era
both very favorably Impressed with Mr.
Barrett's work in tha diplomatic service,
and since his return from South and
Central America Mr. Root comments
more favorably than ever before on his
efficiency. It seems almost certain that
If Mr. Barrett does not go to the Philip
pines he will be promoted to the Brazilian
diplomatic post.
