terizes you as a person not fit to be at

WATSON SHOULD
RETIRE.
Major Morgan Says Success
Depends on Withdrawal
of the Georgian.

Montgomery, Ala, Aug. ia.
Hon. Philander Morgan Of
St. Clair county, the Nester of
alabama populism, perhaps
the most influential member of
the party in this State, and a
brother Of Senator Morgan,
has written a letter to a friend
in this city, in which he insists
that Hon. Thomas E. Watson
should retire in favor of Mr..
Sewall. He says Bryan can
not be elected unless the vote
is consolidated and this can
not be effected with two vice
presidential candidates in the
field. He adds:
while every individual SEN
timent of my nature, whether
controlled by sectional pride
or party preferences, goes out
for the gallant Watson, yet it
is a duty we owe ourselves and
our country to defeat republi-
canism and it should be the
pride, and would be the inn
mortality, Of Mr.. Watson to
yield to the demands that cir
cumstances have created. The
arguments in favor of Mr.. Sc
walls candidacy are; First,
that his nomination takes pre-
cedence in point of date; Sec
ond, that his political follow
ing is fourfold greater than
that of Watson; third that Mr..
Sewall can exercise a section
al influence altogether neces-
sary to Mr.. Bryan's election
! Major Morgan concludes:
'In view of these things it be.
comes that class Of Populists
who love principle more than
party; who are influenced by
the good of the people rather
than by the prejudice that
comes of passion, who are I'M
willing to see the name anc
fame of Watson sacrificed or
the altar Of McKinleyism, come
to the aid Of a party that car
succeed only by their help"
