REFUSES TO STEP FROM HIS PERCH Watson, the Populist, Says Bryan Has Ignored South. He's Gone the Limit. (By Associated Praia) NEW YORK, July 1U A cable gram iiaa beit received from William Randolph Hearst, In reply lo a mes sage transmitted tn Mr. Hearst from Samuel Gompers, muting that in view of the democrats' stand for labor It would be 'an act of greatest patriot ism for the Independence party to en dorse the democratic platfoim" and urging him not to run a third ticket, as It would elect Mr. Tuft. Mr. Hearst's cablegram follows: Paris. July 13. "Tell Mr- Gompers that 1 am not authorized tq speak for the member ship of the Independence League, but according to my personal standards a purer patriotism consists in laboring to establish a new party which will b consistently devoted to the interest of the citizenship and particularly to the advantage and advancement of the producing classes. 1 do not think the path of patriotism lies In supporting a discredited and decadent old party, which has neither conscientious con viction nor honest intent, or in en dorsing ehameton candidates who change the color of their political opinion with every varying hue of opportunism. I do not think the best benefit of laboring men lies In sup porting that old party becnuse of a sop of false promise, when the per- foimance of that party while in power did more to injure labor than all the Injunctions every issued before orj since. I have lost faith in the empty profession of an unregenerate mocracy. I have lost confidence In the ability in the sincerity and even in the ' Infrmrdty of Us leaders. I do not con-1 liter It patriotism to pretend to sup port that, which as a cltlwn I distrust, and detest and I earnestly hope the Independence Party will give me an opportunity to vote for candidates that are both able and honest, and for n declaration of principles that Is both sound and sincere.
