siderable attention to matters outside OF

Doubtless with an idea OF distracting
public attention 50 that the party's

he has been the subject affects Senator
Watson IN evidenced in an Interview
which a News reporter had with him
this morning.
The senator when asked what statement
he wished 10 make regarding the charge
that he Intended to vote for Baker, instead
Of Governor Brown, said that he didn't
wish TO make any statement, and hoped
the whole matter would he allowed to
drop. as he had authorized no such
statement as that published today
