WATSON AFTER BUTLER.
Hc Says That Butler Has Betrayed
Him.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 3.-The publication to-
day in Tom Watson's paper of an editorial
attack on Chairman Butler of the popul,st
national committee, is considered signif-
cant in view Of rumors that Mr.. Watson
may retire from the ticket. The editorial
says: attempts W. been made to show
Watson favored fusion IN Indiana. This
Is incorrect. Mr.. Watson took the posi-.
ton at the beginning Of the campaign that
no populist could consistently vote for a
Sewall elector any more than he could vote
for a Hobart ~elector. He filed with Char.
man Butler a written protest against Mr..
Buffers fusion policy. Mr.. Butler ignored
Mr.. Watson's protest and has gone stead.
Fly forward on one line.
Mr.. Watson's position Is now what II
was when the Georgia state CONVENTION
met. He is for a straight middle-of-the
road ticket. In no other way can the
democratic managers be forced to ABIDE
