FOR PRESIOENCI
WELL KNOWN NEWSPAPER MAN
WILL TRY FOR THE WHITE .
HOUSE.
TO START ANOTHER PAPER
In Furtherance of His Ambition He
Will Soon Establish One at Wash

and Common People.
Washington. November 21.—-William
Hamli'lph Herast, editor of Ine New
York Journal, tho Chicago American
and the San Francisco Examiner, is
a ( umiUldate tor the office of presi
dent. of the United States, subject to
the decision of the democrats and the
voters. He lias been elected to con
giows from a New York city district,
and wiil soon takcup his residence in
Washington, where he will establish
another paper, which will be more ol
a political organ than a purveyor of
news. It will be used with the oner
Hearst papers to push along the politi
cal ambitions of the proprietor,
Th'e idea lias been well received b\
the men who make it their business
to anticipate the wishes of tne people.
What is needed most by the party out
of power is a man. Issues are sure
to develop, to bring together tne
scattered and discordant elements, a
new man must be found, and Hearst
steps to the front.
He Is without a political record save
for tne general policy of his papers,
which have been strongly in favor o,
labor and the common people. Then
he has some mUttons back of him i
the sinews 01 war. U is no new ot
sudden thought with ucarst. He is a
young man of fixed ideas, and plans
reaching far ahead. With the stop
ping stone of his father's wealth aim
prestige and the iutluenoe of four
great organs, lie sees no reason why
ho should not aspire to the 'highest
office in tue land—and scuceed. He
figures that the chances arc not so
bright in 1901 as they will bo tom
years later. By* that -time the two-term
rule will have eliminated Roosevelt,
the dominant party will have made the
inevitable mistakes, factional differ
ences will have caused divisions, the
high wave of prosperity will have suls
sided, and tue country will be ready
for a change. It is the hope and plan
of William It. Hearst. to he ready .m
just this state of affairs.

In connection with the nomination

iut the contra condition.
Early yesterday it was currently re
torted that Judge Crovatt's friends
were to attend too meeting and seek

He said he wasn’t in it.
They refused to accept Inis state

those who cared for him best turned
out in numbers, determined to support,
him for mayor and no man in the con
fines of all Brunswick could have won

It was an unusual scene.

claim seconded the nomination of
Judge Crovatt.
iti a rear seal, as might become some
humble citizen, sat the nominee,
graceful of poise, as is his want, in
happy recontre, with those about him
apparently oblivious of the scene that
might or might not make him mayor
of this vigorous little city, he, of all
present, seemed to be less Interested
in the very local historic actions being
done. “
He attempted to rise. His friends
' said nay. He acquiesced. The crowd
was impatient. “Crovatt, Crovatt,
Crovatt," was the call of the people,
but the old time mayor Brunswick,
ex-judge of the .county court, the pol
ished club man, tne able lawyer, was
in the hands of his friends below, ana
it was impossible for him to respond
to Ms anxious friends wfTo wished to
hear from him.
Along these lines and without
tent to reflect upiTiV how his nomina
tion came about it is but pure justice
to Judge Cioval to say that nis nomi
nal ion last night was one, if not the.
most distinctive honor ever conferred
upon an individual citizen oy a people
| who knew him and loved him best for
'l i service in a cause They" deem
righteous.
A committee was named by the
meeting to notify the nominees of its
action and those who are in position
to know assert that, tne five gentle
men conspicuously honored by the rep
resentative gathering of tiioir follow
citizens will accept the call.
Its Personnel.
With reference to last, night's meet
ing it can truly be said that those
present did not come for idle curiosi
ty. Those in attendance were taxpay
ers and citizens, who were there for
Ihe purpose of exercising the only and
greatest rigot that is accorded a tax
payer of his state, county and city.
Men from all walks of life occupied
seats and in tne deliberations of the

other.
Some Speeches.
During the course of the meeting
short addiesses were made by Hon.
Edwin Brobston, Judge Boning Whit
