Looks Like watterson.
1t looks more and more as If Henry
Wattorson might be the nominee of the
party for president. A message from New
York announced that the Kentucky editor
had said in an interview that If no one
else would accept the nomination he would
take it, The letters received at headquar-
ters for several days have indicated that
he is the favorite of many of the most
prominent men engaged la the movement.
There seems TO be an impression that he
can command moe votes in the south
than any other man who might be nom
mated The leaders of the party are deep
ly interested in the fusion scheme in Flor
ida, Alabama and Texas, and they believe
the nomination of Watterson would make
easier the carrying out of the plans that
have been laid When the executive com
mittee first looked at the southern situa-
tion the suggestion was made that If Wat
terson could be induced to take the nom
ination the party would be able to make
inroads in the south.
