(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.
