Cancels Engagement.
SO impressed was Judge Parker
With Mr.. Watterson's argument that
he Immediately Cancelled the trip set
for September q.
This action on the part of the Dem-
ccratic nominee is interpreted to mean
that he will probably not make any
speeches throughout the country dur
ing the campaign.
1t is of easy deduction that during
the conversation between JUDGE Par
ker and Colonel Wattcrson, the then
contemplated st. Louis trip was dis

Colonel Watterson left here at a
quarter before 6 p. m., an enthusiastic
Parker man, as he was completely
charmed with the candidates person

colonel so expressed himself
During the hours the editor and the
candidate were together the whole

the views of the two men were ex
changed freely. It is presumed that

Watterson.
Some of the time that Colonel Wat

Preston, chairman of the Ulster coun

In the meanwhile Mrs. Parker en-
tertained Mrs, Watterson and Mrs
Preston at one end of the veranda.
Watterson Hears Good Reports.
"The reports that come from all
rarts of the country of a united Dem
ocratic party, l have absolute conf

fore his talk with Judge Parker. "It
is my belief that the Democratic party
will poll it's normal vote and that the
same will be true of the Republicans
The decisive vote will be that of the
Independents. To me 1t appears tha
the independent vote shows decided
trend toward the Democratic candi
