(By Iho Associated Press.)
San Francisco, Onl., July - 7.--Congressman
William Itandolph Hearst,
who In here, makes the following statJ-
mi'iil: '
,,,,,1,1 liifn to Klnfn vein- nosllively
.1.... i ..... o oo.ii,i,it.. r,.f tli. item-
ocralio presidential nomination in WHS.
"Mr. Bryan said tin; other day. in
London that I hern were others besides
himself who had .claims on the nomi
nation through services rendered the
democratic party, and mentioned pleas
antly Mr. Follf, Mr. Italic-, and my
relf. "While appreciating Mr. Bryan's
compliment,' I must decline to be con
sidered a candidate; Let the list stand
if Mr, Bryan pleusos, Bryan or Folic
or Bailey. For my part I would sub
Htitute Stevenson for Bailey.
"Mr. Bryan's services to the democ
racy are too well diagnosed to be re
. hearsed. . . . ' .''
"He . has led the party conspicuously
III two presidential campaigns and
one senatorial campaign. In the na
tional house of congress he has made
the issues himself and expanded them
with . a brilliancy unequalled, unap
. preached.
"Mr.. Folk" -services' ' to the democ
racy are noted and real, la fact, his
services have been rendered to all citi
zens irrespective of party, for his ca
reer aS an honest and efficient public
servaift Is an example to republicans
and democrats.
"As for 'Mr. aBiley. well, Bailey's ser
vices have been rendered to that cor
poration end of the democracy that
I do not consider democracy, and
whose control of the machinery of the
democratic as well as of therepubli
can party has led me to seek my ideals
of the democracy of Jefferson and the
republicanism of Lincoln In the inde
pendent league. Bailey's nomination
for first place even by the machine
that nominated Parker would be lm-
' possible, but Bailey's nomination or
second place is conceivable. It would
have the material advantage of insur
ing Texas to the democracy and of
eliciting a substantial campaign con
tribution from i John D. Rockefeller,
but its disadvantages are obvious.
Folk and Bailey, for instance, would
be an oil and water ticket that would
not mix a ticket of good, pure water
and Standard Oil.
"Bryan and Bailey would be alliter
ative and tickling to the ear, but would
sound too much like Barnum & Bailey
to suit the discriminating taste of the
convention. .
. "Why not -Bryan and Folk or Ste
venson In 1908 on the democratic side,
and why not Roosevelt and LaFolletto
on the republican side?
"I repeat definitely and positively
I am not a candidate. I made the light
In 1804 for what I considered true de
mocracy for the democracy I had been
taught and the democracy I believe In
and for the democracy that represented
the will of the majority, and for the
best Interests of the majority. I made
the fight against what I believed to
be, 'and still believe to be, the forces
for- corporation corruption. I offered
to lead that fight only when no other
would undertake the task. I consider
that I did my duty in that contest, but
I will, never undertake another In that
way. V A man's motives are much mis
understood and his purposes; much mis
represented if he can be charged with j
hairtg a personal object to attain.
"I am moreover well pleased as I
anv well satisfied to use the powers' of
mys publications to drive put of office
the White slaves of the trusts and to
promote the fortunes of the honest
scrvants of the people, and I
cannot
do this as effectually If I am mixed up
In purely party politics.
"I am eager to see the line drawn

that believe In special privileges and
those that believe In popular rights
between the producing classes anfl- the
