ROOSEVELT'S VIEW IS SELFISH.
SAYS HEARST IN AN INTERVIEW
ON THE THIRD PARTY MOVEMENT
“Many Democrats Believe His Main
Object Is to Break the Republican
Organization, So He Can Gain Con
trol and Be Its Candidate in 1916.” j
Special Cable to The Georgian.
tfONDON. Sept 10.- The London
Etching Standard publishes tno
follow ing
Mr William Randolph Hearst,
the well known Xmedcan news
paper proprietor, in a special in
terview given to one of our rep
resentatives today, made a critical
analysis of the unprecedented po
litical situation in the United
States, and in discussing the
chances of the candidates in the
race for the presidency showed
how Dr. Woodrow Wilson would,
in all likelihood, be Mr. Taft's
successor.
In doing so, Mr. Hearst ex
pressed the opinion that the new
party movement would not be suc
cessful until the progressive wings,
both of the Democratic and Repub
lican parties, combined and formed
an Independent party of consoli
dated progressives This united
progressive party. Mr Hearst be
lieves. would succeed and would
exercise a potent influence on the
future of American polities
“It seems to me." began Mr.
Hearst, "that the report cabled
from New York that, in view of
the result of the Vermont state
election Mr Taft and .Mr. Roose
velt may retire from the presiden
tial contest in favor of a man
agreeable to both factions, is an
entirely irresponsible suggestion.
If it means anything defined, it
probably means that a good many
Important Republicans would like
to see both Mr. Taft and Mr.
Roosevelt retire in favor of some
third person, but I don't think
there is the slightest possibility of
such a thing happening
"The Independent movement in
the United States is a real and
powerful force it began with the
Independence league in New York
and developed strongly in various
sections of the country, in News
Tork and adjacent states in New-
England- Vermont being a New
England state —In the middle West,
with Chicago as a nucleus, and
in the far Wi st, particularly In the
•state of California, Il attained
great strength. In those states
and sections I had new spatters and
was able to give ample publicity to
the propaganda pf the third party
movement
"As a result of litis education
and agitation and development, tile
third party's strength halt in
creased immensely in the last four
years. Four yeais ago the Inde
pendence league had a candidate
for p esid< nt ami. though it actu
ally -arrfed no single slate, it ex
hibited strength and vitality In
mativ sections of tile country To
day the principles of this third par
ty movement are mon widely
known and more generally in
dorsed than four years ago. the
organization of the movement is
much better and the enthusiasm of
the supporters of the movement is
as great as ever
"Mr. Roosevelt undoubted,y rea
(zed the extent and Importance of
the third party sentiment. and
when he w.i4 defeated for the Re
publican nomination at Chicago he
at once off.- ed himself as the
leader of this third party move
ment. He was gladly actepted as
the leade- on account of his vig
orous personality and because of
the strength of his following in
the radica wing of the Republican
party, a so because the import
ance of the third party movement
would be greatly increased under
the leade ship of a man who had
twice been president of the United
Prates
"Mr Roosevelt adopted in their
entirely the principles whlc-i the
third partv advanced and subtract
ed little or nothing from the na
tional platform of the Independ
ence party adopted at Chicago in
"The adv’oiates of* this third
parly movement are enthuiasts
They believe absolutely in the ne
cessity of a thiid party to free
the country from the < o rupt con
trol of both of the o'd parties
They believe that both of the old
parties are in the grip of the priv
ileged interest.-, and that the
stranglehold of the special in
terests can not be broken. They ■
also believe that there Is no des; <•
on the part of the leaders of the
old parties to terminate this as.
sociation with the privileged In-
's teiests. ..« it • a profitable as«. cia

has bet n she--) in the Standard

taka the control of government
out of the hands of party ma
chines and pivceged interests
and restore it to the hands of the
people Neatly all the measures
of the third party platfdrni are
aimed directly at that end.
"You will see. therefore, how
impossible it is for ihat third
party to unite with the Republi
can party, for the platform of
the national Republican party is
conservative in the extreme and
the Republican party Is regarded
as the chief reactionary party in
the United Stages
"Then again the proposal of
Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Taft both
etiring was brought up at the
Republican convention in Chi
cago. Neither one was willing to
retire. I can not believe that
either one Is w-llling to retire
now or that a fusion between
these two diametrically conflict
ing factions can be satisfactorily
accomplished, even if both candi
dates should retire.
"Os course, if the division in the
Republican party continues, the
probabilities are Ihat Mr. Wilson
will be elected, or that, failing an
actual majority, the election wiU be
thrown into the house of represen
tatives. The Vermont election
show s- not only no deflection from
the Democratic party, but a slight
gain for it. Tnis is significant.
"The Progressive sentiment in
the United States is tremendous.
The men who class themselves as
progressives, no matter to what
party they belong, constitute a con
siderable majority of the voters of
the United States. There arc prob
ably. too. more progressive Demo
crat’ than there are progressive Re
publicans, and, finally, the Demo
cratic platform was so vague and
Indefinite «s to fall far short of ex
pressing the sentiments of the pro
gressive Democrats.
"To a Democratic platform of
milk ami water. Mr. Wilson, in his
letter ~f acceptance, m rely added
more water bubbling water, spar
! kling with euphonious pitra-es,
agreeably charged with gas, but
nevertheless water. This situation
In tile Democratic party must be a
disappointment to militant pro
giessiv >•“
It by th, ti. is there not a imlii
bie deflection from the Democratic
t»artv 11. the naw third part! ." Be- j
cause Mr. Roosevelt committed the
distinct error of making tins thiid
partv movement almost entirely Re- i
publican, recruiting Ij almost en
tirely from the progressive wing of
Hie Republican putty and office

ers
Mr Roosevelt, being a Repul.-,
Iran, should have bad a Democtat,
and preferably a Southern Dento
i rat. for vice president, and if
Roosevelt had been as anxious to
unite the progressives is he wa « t „
disrupt the Republicans he would
h tv had a Democrat on the ticket.
'But Mr. Roosevelt the candi
date for president. Is a Republican;
Mr Johnson, the candidate for vice
president, a Republican. Nearly '
-id the leaders and speakers for the
third party in this campaign are
Republican-. Therefore. I believe '

"The Democrats who’ know Mr

NEGROES SELL DRUGS
TO ANY ONE, ASSERTS
CHARITIES SECRETARY
Joseph Logan, secretary of lite As
sociated Charities, is authority for the
statement that Atlanta is swarming
with negro cocaine peddlers who will
sill the drug to anybody who can dig
tip 50 cents.
Logan bases his assertion upon the
information which daily comes to the
charities office from chronic cocaine
users who apply there for treatment.
"A short time ago." said Logan, today,
"a man came to us for treatment as a
drunkard and we helped him. Yester
day this same man came into the office
and announced that be was now using
cocaine. He said that he could buy the
drug anywhere if he had nrt cents. The
negro peddlers won't sell for less than
that."

ONBALLINGERIN
HISHDME
Colonel, in Seattle. Hopeful
of ‘"Throwing Ex-Secretary
Into Discard.’’
SEATI'LE. WASH.. Sept. 10. into
this reactionary stronghold came Colo
nel Roosevelt today. As the train neared
the city, the ex-president remarked that
he was "hopeful” of putting down the
machine of western Washington and
throwing ex-Secretary Ballinger, leader
of the Taft forces, into the discard.
Roosevelt expressed himself as ex
tremely satisfied with the situation in
eastern Washington. His stay yester
day in Spokane convinced him that the
Progressive party in that part of the
state is going to make a clean sweep.
Tm no prophet, but I'm told that
the Progressives will carry Washington
in November." observed the colonel.
"No doubt exists as to the eastern part
of the state. 1 think we can puli the
western part with us."
The colonel reached here at 9 o'clock
this morning after an all-night ride
from Spokane. He was greeted by a
great crowd, waiting to see him.
Vote, He ,Urges Women.
He went direct to the county conven
tion of Progressives, where he talked
on the issues of the fight. Alluding to
the suffrage of women, tltg ex-presi
dent said he wanted to impress tlie
women voters of Washington with the
necessity of using the ballot.
"You women here in Washington
have the right to vote," he said, turn
ing to the women delegates at the con
vention. "If the women fail to exer
cise the ballot privilege, they show that
they do not regard the suffrage as of
practical value. It is not enough to
fight foi the right to vote. You must
go to the polls and fight for the princi
ples of government."
The colonel felt impelled to give this
advice because of the apathy shown In
many parts of Washington by women
who failed to register. He urged that
a complete registration he got out, "so
we may smash the bosses.”
