Is shown by the fact that when Mr.

conducted on a sound business basis. In

now paying $1, he replies that when he
came to New, Tcork be began at .once
the value that they had been paying and
prospered while doing It. One of the
remarkable featurea of the campaign 4s
the attitude of newspapers formerly bit
terly hoetlle to Mr. Hearst, t
The World repeatedly haa publlsbed
cartoons depicting him aa the only man
oppoeed to boas rule, while the- Press, a
Republican, paper has taken up his
fight on the bosses and carried It even
further, than have, his own newspapers.
