Yal This Week.

less of the rather freely expressed prefer
ences of leading Kansas. Populists, Tom
Watson is coming to this state and will
make speeches while here. He has been
assigned to Erie. for September 10. and
lola, September II. Sunday evening Chair
man Breidenthal wired Mr.. Watson of the
arrangements made. and asked for an
answer. The Georgia statesman replied
that the dates were satisfactory to him.
and he would arrive on September s, COM
ing from Bonham. Tex. The selection of
localities was limited as it was necessary
to choose places where meetings had al
ready been arranged. At Erie, the county
fair Is IN progress. while at lola. the visit
of Mr.. Watson will be made a feature of
the natural gas festival.
Mr.. Breidenthal had refused to permit
candidates. on the state ticket to speak at
the Erie fair, considering they would be
under disadvantage. Obliged to compete
with merry-go-rounds. grass bands and
side shows, the speakers could hardly re-
ceive the proper attention: With Mr.. Wat
son 1t will be different. He will experience
less difficulty on this account than a local
speaker, and it was necessary to bill him
where a crowd had already collected for
another purpose.
