HEARST TO THE FORE LR R Declares Reorganiza- tion of Party IS [mperative. e Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Nov. 9.—That the Dem- ocrats, plunged in defeat, are thinking seriously of the future of their national organization was shown to-day by the! wide discussion of the ‘‘reorganizing” of the party and of the policies to be pursued in the immediate future. It is becoming clear that if the ‘“safe and sane” element of the party is to remain in control it must fight to maintain its ascendenc No one doubts that Wil- liam J. Bryan intends to make a very strong effort to take the National Com- mittee and the organization in the va- rious States from Judge Parker. None very seriously doubts that he will have the support of Thomas Taggart, chair- man of the National Committee, who was elected against Judge Parker's wishes, and in whose selection Judge Parker acquiesced because there was nothing else go do, nor does any one campaign for the Presidential nomina- tion in 1908 and that he has made some headway in the way of strengthening himself in the National Committee. Hearst and Thomas E. Watson, the late Populist candidate for President, it is understood, will be found working together. It is not clear that Bryan and Hearst can work together, because their ambitions clash when the question of nominaticn is considered. Bryan de- nied at Lincoln yesterday that he in- | tended coming to New York soon to confer with Hearst and Watson en the subject of the reorganization of the Democratic party. There is little doubt that Bryan is coming on business con- nected with the control of the party, | the only question being whether he is coming especially to confer with Hearst. Hearst also had a statement to make regarding this report. He said: | “I have no knowledge of any meeting between Mr. Watson, Mr. Bryan and | myself. 1 think the Democratic party will reorganize itself on a basis of true democracy, eliminating the Wall street influence that proved so disastrous in this campaign, and I, as a loyal Demo- crat, will be very happy to see that done. I am always ready to contribute my own services, and those of my pa- pers, to the Democracy for the reorgani- zation or for any other purpose, if they shall be required. “I will be glad to work with all loyal Democrats for the success of Demo- cratic _ principles, but I think these loyal Democrats are quite capable of choosing their own leaders, and I imagine this point will now be con- ceded by those who endeavored to force leaders upon them.” The substance of interviews obtained from prominent Democrats by The Call as to the future policy of the party varies widely. Some, like Hearst, notably J. G. Johnson of Kansas, a Bryan follower, believé the party must be reorganized on radical lines, with Wall street influences eliminated. Others, like Bourke Cockran and Tim- othy D. Sullivan, hold that the party should wait, should choose no new lead- ers now, but take advantage of the mistakes the Republicans will make. Judge William Lindsay of Kentucky sald the party would have done better to make the tariff more prominent, and Edward M. Shephard thinks the old party issues must be maintained. et South COarolina’s Vote. CHARLESTON, S.

RETURNING 10 PARAY' OLD 1D01S Democratic ~ Leaders Again Lining Up With Bryan.. QUICKLY DROP PARKER Conservative Faction IS Denounced in Interviews. A Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Nov. 9.—Representative W. Bourke Cockran said to-night: “The Democratic party has not been left in a constructive position. It has been ligked to death. The affairs of the country have been placed in the hands of the Republicans, and we must wait and see what they are going to do. If their policy opens the way to criticism, we must make our plans accordingly and the people will turn to us to in- quire what we propose. Until that time comes any man who talks does so from motives of personal ambition and his opinion is worthless.” William Lindsay, formerly United States Senator from Kentucky, said: “It is not necessary to go far for an explanation of the result where the vote for Parker was less than that given to Bryan, and for Roosevelt more than to McKinley. We know that many who voted for McKinley voted yesterday for Parker, and it seems evi- dent that where Parker had one Mc- Kinley vote, Roosevelt had two Bryan votes. I expected Roosevelt's election, but I did not foresee what has hap- pened. ‘Now, I suppose, Bryan and Hearst will take hold of the party and attempt to reorganize it./ Hearst editorially . declares that the Démo- cratic party must have a Democratic platform and Democratic nominees. We have not heard from Bryan yet, but it is fair to assume that when he is ready to speak he will say he did all in his power to assist the Parker ticket. “What he said at the outset was enough to forestall any efforts that he might make afterwardérand in his speeches he did not take back anything that he had said earlier. It is doubt- ful, anyhow, whether he could have turned over his entire vote. He. as leader, had to retain his party regu- larity. Do you imagine that the con- stituents of the two hundred delegates sent to the St. Louls convention to work for Hearst voted for Parker? I do not think they did.” Joseph G. Johnson of Kansas. a Bry- an leader at Democratic headquarters, said: “I felt certain of Parker's defeat be- fore clection. The Democratic party has departed from its own ideas of Jeffersonian Democracy and before it wins it has got to get back to first principles. 1 feel confident that Wil- liam Jennings Bryan will be the can- didate in 1808, on a platform more radi- cal than that of 1896 or 1900.” John DeWitt Warner said: “The result {s just what might have been expected from the tactics pur- sued by the Democrats. The campaign committee selected was not only unde- serving the confldence of the party. but an insult to its Intelligence and good faith. That committee proceeded on the assumption that success was to be gained by obtaining trust support or, at least, dividing it with the Repub- licans: They started the campaign by suppressing the trust and tariff issues and attempting to curry favor with the very interests most opposed to Democ- racy. These tactics failed, the Repub- lican organization receiving the full trust support. “In the last few weeks of the cam- palgn an attempt was made to attack the trusts and press the tariff issue, but it was too late. In the first place, the confidence of the Democratic voters had been too thoroughly lost to be regained. In the next place, the position of Judge Parker made it im- possible to consistently attack trust methods and left practically only a denunciation of the fact that they i-d chosen to subsidize the Republican vot- ers. This seemed to the people to be merely resentment that the trusts had contributed to the Republican instead of the Democratic campaign fund. The result was that the cause of Democ- racy fell between two stools. What is the duty of the party? Stop time serv- ing; find out what Democratic prin- ciples are and take the aggressive.” Frederick W. Henrichs sald: “In my opinion the party must take a more radical stand on some of the great questions advocated by Bryan, such as Government ownership of the railroads and municipal ownership of public utilities.” it ZARNE Sishail CALIFORNIANS COME EARLY. ‘Rufus P.

A con- firmation of the report is unobtainable. It is hoped here that General Stoessel will capitulate before the city proper is taken. The Japanese soldiers are angry and inflamed on account of the alleged abuse of the wounded by the Russians. They believe they will be murdered if captured.
