Atlanta Constitution: Tom Watson is
at home. His western trip came to an end
Wednesday night when, shortly after Z
O'Clock, he reached Atlanta with National
Committeeman Fl. w. Reed, who has
been his travelling companion and ad-
vance agent In the eyes of Mr.. Watson
and Mr. Reed the trip was a success. A
series of speeches were delivered in Texas,
Kansas, Nevada and Colorado. 1t was the
| opinion of the nominee that the fusion in
many of the western states between the
democrats and populists was not on a
| fair basis. He wished to better the con-
dition of affairs for the populsts. This is
| the reason given by Mr. Reed for the
| trip. Effective work of dissolution has
| been accomplished, he declares in Kan
sas and Colorado. Since the appearance
Of Mr. Watson the populists have an
| nounced that unless they are allowed rep
| resentation on the electoral tickets of
these two states they will put out full
| populist electoral tickets. Mr.. Reed does
not say that the sole object of the trip
was 10 force the Bryanites of the west to
| denounce Sewall and refuse him their
support. He wells the purpose of the mis-
sion under the statement that they wished
to remedy what the populists think is an
unfair division.
