ROOSEVELT'S M IS SELFISH,
SMS HEARST 111 IN INTERVIEW
ON THE THIRD mH 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.”
Special Cable to The Georgian.
LONDON, Sept 10.—The London
Evening Standard publishes the
following
Mr. William Randolph Hearst,
the well known American news
paper proprietor, in a special in
terview given to one of our rep
resentatives today, made a critical
enalysie of the unprecedented po
litical situation in the i'nited
States, and in discussing the
Chances of the candidates In the
race for the presidency showed
how Dr Woodrow Wilson would
tn all likelihood, be Mr Taft's
•uccessor.
In doing so Mr. Hearst ex
pressed the opinion that the new
party movement would not he suc
cessful until the progietwlve 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 politics
"It seems to me.” began Mr
Hearst. “that the report cabled
from Now 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 1 don't think
there is the slightest possibility of
such a thing happening.
“The independent movement In
the i’nited 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 New
York and adjacent states in New
England—Vermont being a New
England state—in the middle West,
with Chicago as a nucleus, and
in the fat West, particularly in the
state of California. it attained
great strength In those states
and sections I had newspapers and
was able to give ample publicity to
the propaganda of th* third party
movement.
“As a result of this education
and agitation and development, the
third party e strength has in
< reused immensely in the last four
years. Pour years ago the Inde
pendence league had a candidate
for president, and. though It actu
ally carried no single state, it ex
hibited strength and vitality In
many sections of the country. To
day the prim-ip ra of this third par
ty movement ate more widely
known and more generally in
dorsed than four y<ars ago. the
organization of the movement is
much better and the enthusiasm of
the supporters of the movement is
as greet as ever.
“Mr Roosevelt undoubtedly real
ized the extent and importance of
the third party sentiment. and
when be was defeated for the Re
publican nomination at Chicago he
at once offe’ed himself as the
leader of this third party move
ment. He was gladly accepted as
the leader on account of his vig
orous personality and because of
the strength of his following tn
riie radi o wing of rhe Republican
party . also because the import
ance of the third party movement
you'd be gieatiy increased under
the leadership of a man who had
twice been president of the I'nited
States
Mr Roos< veil adopted in their
entirety the principles which the
third party advanced and subtract
ed little or nothing from the na
tions, pat form of the independ
ence party adopted at Chicago in
1908
The advocates of this third
pa’ty movement are enthuiastr
They be eve absolutely in the ne
cessity of a thitd party to free
tn> country from the corrup con
trol of both of the old parties
They believe that both of the old
parties ere tn tne gup of lite priv

s rai.glenoid of tne special In
terests tan not be broken They
also believe that there is no desi e
on the part of the leaders of the
old parties to terminate this as
sociation with the privileged in
terests. as it a profitable associa
tion and enables these to secure
la g<- campaign contributions as
has been shown in the Standard
Oil ietteis and so to tinanve and

take rhe control of government
out of the hands of party ma
chines and privileged interests
and restore it to the hands of the
people. Nearly all the measures
of the third party platform are
aimed directly at that end.
"You will see, therefore, how
impossible it is for that third
paity to unite with the Republi
can party, for the platform of
the national Republican paity is
conservative in the extreme ant
the Republican party is regarded
as the chief reactionary party in
the United States.
“Then again tne ptoposal of
Mi Roosevelt and Mr. Taft both
letiring was brought up at the
Republican convention in Chi
cago. Neither one was willing to
retire I can not believe that
either one is willing to retire
now or that a fusion between
these two diametrically conflict
ing factions can be satisfactorily
accomplished, even it both candi
dates should retire.
“Os course, if the division in the
Republican party continues, the
probabilities are that Mr. Wilson
will be elected, or that, failing an
actual majority ihe election will be
thrown into thi house of represen
tatlves. The Vermont election
shows not only no deflection from
rhe Demin ratlc party, but a slight
gain for it This is significant.
“The Progressive sentiment in
the I'nited 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 I'nited States. There are prob
ably. too. more progressive Demo
crat- than there are progressive Re
publicans, and Anally, the Demo
cratic platform was so vague and
indefinite as to fall far short of ex
pressing the sentiments of Hie pro
gressive Democrats.
“To a Democratic platform of
milk ami water. Mr. Wilson, in his
letter of acceptance, merely added
more water, bubbling water, spar
kling with euphonious phrases,
agreeably charged with gas, but
nevertheless water This situation
in lhe Democratic party must be a
disappointment to militant, pro
gressives.
'Why, then, is there not a nota
ble deflection from the Democratic
party to the new third party? Be
cause Mr Roosevelt committed the
distinct error of making this third
partv movement almost entirely He
publican recruiting It almost en
tiieiy from the progressive wing of
ihe Republican parly and officer
ing it with Republican officehold
er*.
Mt Roosevelt, being a Reptib
h'an. Should huve had g Democrat,
and preferably a Southern Demo
crat. for vice president, and if
Roosevelt had been as anxious to
unite the progressives aa he was to
disrupt the Republicans he would
have had a Democrat on the ticket.
But Mr. Roosevelt, the candi
date for president, is a Republican;
Air Johnson, the candidate for vice
president, is a Republican Nearly
all the leaders and speakers for the
thitd party in this campaign are
Republicans. Therefore. 1 believe
the third party movement will only
half succeed in this campaign
This agitation will go far, how
••ver. to establish a third party, and
the carrying of certain states b\
the third party will give added
hopes and confidence to the sup
porters of tlie Progressive move
ment In my opinion, the third
party movement will not be sue
• e.ssful until thd progressives of tne
Republican party and the progres
sives of the Democratic partv are
united in one third party
Ihe Democrats who know Mr
Roosevelt and understand his per
sona! ambitions and rather selfish
intentions believe that Mi Roose
v•• t s main object at present is to
break up the Republican organiza
tion, so that he can gain control of
it and dominate the Republican
party and be its candidate for
president In 1916.
Therefore ' added Mr Hearst
'many ardent progressive Demo.

NEGROES SELL DRUGS
TO ANY ONE, ASSERTS
CHARITIES SECRETARY
Joseph Logan, secretary of the As
sociated Charities, is authority for the
statement that Atlanta is swarming
with negro cocaine peddlers who will
sell the drug to anybody who can dig
up 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 he was now using
cocaine. He said that he could buy the
drug anywhere if he had 50 cents. The
negro peddlers won’t sell for less than
that."

HUMORS IN THE BLOOD
When the blood becomes infected with any unhealthy humor the effect is
shown by some definitely marked disorder like Eczema, Acne, Tetter, Pso
riasis, Salt Rheum, etc. Humors get into the blood usually because of an
inactive condition of the system. Those members whose duty it is to expel
all refuse matter do not properly perform their work, and an unhealthy ac
, cumulation is absorbed into the blood. Then instead of performing its
natural function of nourishing the skin the cirenla
tion irritates and inflames it because of its impute
condition. A thorough cleansing of the blood is
the only certain cure for any skin disease; external

IT. H. WAGES WAR
ON BALLINGER IN
HIS HOI
Colonel, in Seattle. Hopeful
of “Throwing Ex-Secretary
Into Discard.”
SEATTLE. 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.
Rooseveit 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. I think we i;an pull 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, the ex-presi
dent said he wanted to impress the
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 for the right to vote. Y’ou 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 be got out, "so
we may smash the bosses.”
