Behind Hearst's Proxy
George A. Van Smith
' The complete unmasking
of the interests behind the
candidacy of Daniel A. Ryan
by. Herrin's imported spell
binder,. George A. Knight,
who ~ got his clients mixed
arid laid down the aefense oi
Ryari to take up that of Pat
rick Calhoun and the Home
telephone company, removed
every el erhent of uncertainty
from the campaign, .in so far, aa
Ryan was* concerned.
When Xnlght shot off his
nputh the report: .of the dis
charge that . finished Ryan float*
ed"bac»f in the echoes that an*
s-vvered Knight throughout \u25a0 hia
harangiiei, Ryan's mild repudi
ation- of Knight's attack on
Langdon-. .served* no good purpos« tot
Ryan.. The appearance of th« hired
man of Hprrtn and the telephone in
terests in the defense of Ryan- was a
superfluous explanation of the ,reasons
for" the espousal "of Ryan by Hearst,
Dargie. Calhoun and, McCarthys offi
cial- pamphlet. When Knight of Hum*
boldt' accepted the voice of on» Mo-
Gowan man- In the galleries as a tem
porary suspension of his agreement tc

took up the 'cudgel for the interest*
that lay closer to his heart and his
ppeketbook, he- furnished conclusive
proof of the antl-Langdon scheme tc
strike'at the graft prosecution in th«
din raised for the Hearst candidate.
It was a cruel blow to the Czolgros*
candidate and his managers, who had a
definite, agreement with* Knight that he
was to forget the interests of hl3 rail
road and telephone . employers and at
tend...strictly to the task of giving-
Ryan's standing as a republican. Tha
sound *of h.ls own * voice proved too
much -for Knight. Bewitched .by his
own phrases, hl3 mind flew back to ifu
$10,000 fee he. received from the Ho no
