watson's Law Partner Is Chosen in
the Tenth.

the Tenth.
Augusta, Ca, Aug. 25-At Harlem to-
day the Tenth district popullsts nominat-
ed to succeed Thomas Watson as the
standard bearer Of the party in the dis
trict, Mr.. John I. West of Thompson.
Mr. West was Mr.. Watsons attorney In
his contest for Congressman Blacks seat,
and has been a lieutenant of Watson in
all his campaigns. He has never been
In politics for himself and has never held
any public office. He did not want the
nomination, but he was Watson's choice,
and has been persuaded to go into the
race against his inelinations and best
judgment.
At the state convention. he told your
correspondent that he could not afford
to make the race and that It would de-
moralize his law business, and that he
was not to be considered IN connection
with the nomination at all. as he could
not enter the race He said his ambition
was in the line Of his profession, and he
did not care for politics. except to lend
a helping hand TO his friends.
Hon. G. II. Ellington wanted TO make
the race and has been considered the man
most likely to be nominated, but all is not
serene between Watson and Ellington, and
West was forced into the race IN the IN
terest of harmony"
The convention was presided over by
James Barrett of Richmond, and was har-
monous throughout.
Ellington placed West in nomination,
and the best speech seconding the nomi-
nation was made by adaj. c. Z. McGregor,
who was also prominently mentioned for
the nomination. No show Of harmony
was lacking and West was unanimously
nominated by rising vote
West was present and made a speech
accepting the nomination and advocating
harmony.
West is a married man, a country law
yer, and between 81 and 40 years old;
man of hne character and personal popu-
larity, with no public record to be assailed.
He is perhaps the strongest nomination
tho populists could have made, and back
ed by Watson's influence, he will make a
good race.
He expressed his readiness to meet
Fleming on the stump. The latter has
nothing TO fear in a joint debate. as he Is
a more forceful speaker and an experienced
campaigner but joint debates have al
ways resulted in personalities and bitter
ness, and it is probable there will be none.
