THE INDEPENDENT
VOTE DECIDES It
So Says Watterson,
of the Campaign.
1T Is TOWARD PARKER
The Democracy, He Says, is United and
Will Vote Almost as One Man.
Judge Parker Decides Against
the Western
Trip.
(By the Associated Press.1

Esopus, N. Y, Sept. 2.-Henry Wat
terson, the kentucky editor and ora
tor, came to Rosemouut today with
Mrs. Watterson, and discussed with
Judge Parker certain details Of the
Democratic campaign from the point
of view of one who has participated
actively in seven political conflicts.
Mr.. Watterson is In the East for the
purpose of attending the meeting of
Democratic editors which is to be held
in New York next week. The confer
ence lasted some time and the edi
tor and his wife remained to luncheon,
returning to New York in the after.
noon.
Mr.. Watterson spoke hopefully of
the prospects for Democratic success
this fall but agreed with many other
old and experienced party leaders that
it is yet too carly to make an intclh-
gent forecast.
II have confidence in the reports
from all parts of the country that the
Democratic party is thoroughly uni
ted" he said. - THE party will poll
it's normal vote but this will be true
also of the Republican party. This
year. as in many former years, the in
dependent vote will be the decisive
element, and it appears to me that
the trend of this vote is toward Judge
Parker"
Watterson on His Plans.
Regarding his plans for the cam
paign he said:
"My labors will be confined to my
own particular sphere, and l shall cx-
tend my writing to do as much foI

secutive conventions and feel that |

make an address next Wednesday
night to the Democratic editors who
are to meet in New York, and l have
accepted. On this occasion I have
decided to speak from the subject If
I were a Republican, If 1 were a Re-
publican now l would vote for Parker,
and in my address | Will tell why J

There was considerable surprise nj
ROSemount this evening when cor
rectiOn was made of statement is
sued in the morning to the effect that
Judge and Mrs. Parker had completed
their arrangements for st. Louis
trip. 1t is now announced that judge
Parker has changed his mind in regard
to the trip and in all probability will
not leave Rosemount again during the
campaign. 1t is understood that good
reasons were presented to Judge Par
ker in argument, against the proposed
trip and that the abandonment or the
program is the result. So, as is now
intended. Judge Parker will make no
speeches during the campaign.

New York, Sept Am investiga-
tion Of the Associated Press discloses
fine fact that a number of serious er-
vors were made in it's report of SEN
ator D. b. Hits speech at Deposit, n.
Y. on Thursday, August rs. 1T seems
that a reporter of a local Democratic
naper. upon whom the Associated
Press depended for report, failed to
attend the meeting, but instead in
vented a speech for Senator Hill,
which contained several statements
wholly misrepresenting the Senator's
views and quite at variance with his
utterances. Among the phrases thus
inserted as a part of the speech was
enc to the effect that Senator Hill had
charged Pres dent Roosevelt with be-
ing a fraud.
Senator Hill said nothing of the
kind. This correction is made without
the knowledge of Mr.. Hill or any of
his friends, but in the interest of ac-
curacy for the Associated Press SER
