WATTERSON'S WHIM.

Harry Watterson, of Kentucky, sum- med up the democratic view of Thom- as E. Watson's proposal to incorporate the democratic party into the People, s party when he said Monday at the Hoffman House:
 "Let MT. Watson draw up plans and write, and MT. Bryan, too, for tha matter. It is their vocation. For my part, say that the man who, in the resent situation, can tell what the political future holds isswiser than I believe anybody to be-
 Col. Watterson came to town yester- day to prepare to sail tomorrow on the Oceanic for Europe.
 "You may put down all talk about reorganization at this early date as visionary and impracticable. Watson is a visionary man, and its his busi- ness to formulate and reorganize at a juncture like this. Let him go ahead. It amuses him, and it doesn't hurt anybody. ''said the editor.
 "Of course no one can attempt to tell what will occur to the party. Time will have to tell that, and we must wait. At present there doesn't seem to be much u reorganize. The defeat was too overwhelming to per- init more than hope for the future.
 Tuesdays election left the repub- lican party strongly intrenched in power and riding upon all the cur rents which lead to political success. It will be hard to dislodge except by great split in it's ranks or by some dire national convulsion. The demo- cratic party, after being in power about half century, was wrecked on the oligarchy of slavery. The repub- lican party may be wrecked by the oligarchy of protection. How soon that may happen no man can say now.
 'We can all see more or less clearly why we were so badly beaten. Roose- welt gained the labor vote by his shrewd work with labor organizations: He gained pretty much the whole Hebrew vote by his action in the mat ter of the massacre of Jews in Russia, and he attracted to the republican party for the first time in its history the Catholic vote by his treatment of the Friars in the Philippines. He had all these elements, and besides, the support of the trusts and the moneyed interests of the country.
 CT advise democrats for the present to stop planning and take rest. That's what 1 am going to do.'

 CROOKED SCHEME

Washington, Nov. 29-PostmasGer General Wynne tonight gave out she following: "For a number of years the postoft1ce department had admitted to the mails advertisements and otber matter concerning the so called guessing" or estimating contests. The question whether or not these schemes are lotteries has been several times presented to the attorney gener- al, who holds they were not lotteries within the meaning of the postal authority act. In view of two recent cases in which the supreme court ren cred an opinion the DO itmaster general felt warranted in again submitting the question to the attorney general. The attorney general holds these schemes are lotteries. cit is therefore lncum bent upon the postotfice department to enforce the law under which the pest master general is authorized, upon evidence satisfactory to him, that any person or company engaged in cen ducting lottery or other scheme for the distribution of money or chance, to issue an order that ali mail addres- sed to such person or company, will be returned and stamped as frauda- lent ''

A FRIGHTFUL MAJORITY.

In the recent election in New Mexi- co for delegate to congress the official count of Valencia county in that ter ritory shows remarkable feeling among the voters. Andrews the re- publican nominee, received a total of 1891 votes; Money, democrat, votes, and Rodey, independent, 31 votes. Sol Luna, one of the best known men in New Mexico, personally entered the camuaign, and so strong was his influ- ence is the above result due. MT. Luna is rated as among the best men living in New Mexico, the people are endeared to him, and if there is any question as to his standing the above result will readily dissipate that be- lief.

R. c. Kereus of St. Louis, has an nounced his candidacy for the United States senatorship in Missouri to suc- ceed Hon. Francis M. Cockerell, and should he be elected it means the ad dition of another millionaire to the senate of the United States. Can the republican party of Missouri afford at this time to send man to the senate of the United States, whose chef qualification for that high office is represented in the number of dollars he possesses? If the republican party wants to turn Missouri back to the democrats, they should elect Kereus, and the probabilities are they will not have another opportunity to elect a senator in the next quarter of cen tury.

Chicago, Nov. 23-A labor union conspiracy is the latest explanation of the automobile tragedy near Lemont, Ills. According to this theory, John W. Bate, jr., the young chaffeur, was the victim of bullets intended for Ed win Tricher, vital witness for the prosecution in a criminal case involv- ing number of Chicago labor union officials. Archer was an employee of the same automobile company for which Bate worked, and received the original commission to drive the auto mobile for a mysterious man named "DOve. " On sudden impulse or presentment of danger this induced Archer to turn the call over to Bate. Archer's attorney today was so strong ly impressed with the probability of a labor union conspiracy as an explana- tiOn of the tragedy, that he laid all the facts before the states attorney.
