New York City (JFK+50) On July 10, 1924, The Washington Times reports that "last night William Randolph Hearst* announced he could not support the Democratic ticket headed by John W. Davis."
In addition, Mr. Hearst condemned the Republican ticket saying "the common people must...look to the 'ranks of a new third party'."
The newspaper publisher characterizes the Democratic presidential nominee as "an attorney for J.P. Morgan and Company, international bankers, and fiscal agents of the British government."
Mr. Hearst says the Democrats are "now openly controlled by the bosses," just as are the Republicans.
