An article in The London Post notes the change in New York Republicans’ attitudes towards William Randolph Hearst as emblematic of the “dramatic” and unprincipled nature of American politics. Author A. Maurice Low compares statements of Secretary of State Elihu Root during the 1906 gubernatorial race between Democrat William Randolph Hearst and Republican incumbent Charles Evans Hughes calling Hearst an “insincere, self-seeking demagogue, who is trying to deceive the working man of New York,” with New York City Republicans’ current alliance with Hearst’s new Independence League in a likely fruitless effort to defeat Tammany Hall.
