Representative James e. Watson Dis
cussea His Chances.

cuSSeS HIS Chances.
Congressman James E. Watson was i'm the
city a short time yesterday. He came to
Indiana to look after his chances for a re-
nomination and expects to be back in
Washington the first of next week. Asked
as to the defeat Of the plan he advocated
in Henry county, for the selection of dele
gates by precincts instead of by a mass
convention, Mr.. Watson said that a man
very frequently secured what he really
wanted by seeming to oppose 1t. Mr.. Wat
son admits that Henry u. Johnson will
give him hard fight for denomination. The
convention that will pass upon the claims
of Watson and Johnson will be composed
of go delegates, apportioned as follows:
Wayne, 5S; Fayette, 20; Union. IL; Shelby,
80; Rush, %; Franklin, IL; Hancock, 20;
Henry, &c.
IL Johnson can control the delegates from
the counties i'm the old Sixth-Wayne, Fay
cite. Union and Henry-he will have lbs
votes, and If Watson has the united sup
port from the counties of the old Fourth
Franklin, Shelby and Rush-he will have
seventy-fve votes. Dividing the twenty
votes of Hancock, from the old Seventh,
son So. 1t Is therefore necessary for Mr..
Watson to go into JohnSon's territory and
he will make his fight to capture Henry
county, which under the ruling Of the re-
votes as a unit. The fight in the Sixth
district, therefore, will be for the capture
of Henry county. This is the situation as
stated by Mr.. Watson.

Contest I'm the Tenth.

Harry Strohm, editor of the Kentland
Enterprise, is in the city in attendance at
the Republican editorial convention. He is
on his way home from Washington to
Kentland. having resigned his position as
private secretary to Congressman Hatch,
to give his attention to the conduct of his
newspaper during the coming campaign.
Mr.. Strohm says Congressman Hatch will
not return to Indiana to logroll for re-
nomination to Congress, but hopes the fact
that he is staying at Washington to at
tend to the duties that he was elected TO
perform will not count against him when
the convention meets. Congressman Hatch,
through the congressional apportionment
law passed by the Legislature last winter,
has been placed in the same district. the
new Tenth, with Congressman Hanley,
who is also a candidate for denomination.
