ing in Mr.. Bryan what he COM
mended in Mr.. TAFT.
Mr.. Watterson replied to the
World-IIerald, seeking to justify
himself, and in its issue of August
% the World-Herald retorts in an
editorial which explains Mr.. Wat
terson's defenses and the World
Herald S position.
The World-Herald's article fol-
lows:
Mr.. Bryan reprints in the cur
rent number Of The Commoner, un-
der the caption Of ga Palpable
Hit leading article which APP
peared in the Omaha World-Herald
ten or twelve days ago, designed to
show "the entire lack Of good
faith" we quote from its initial
sentence, "that charactei'izes the at
ititude of Henry Watterson toward
Mr.. Bryan" the discovery of this
lack of good faith consisting in
Mr.. Watterson's 5 recent comment
on Secretary Taft.
Several persons put themselves
to the trouble of especially sending
the COurier-Jomnal this article, in
delibly marked in deep, dark blue,
or bloody red ink, and we had,
before seeing it under Mr. Bry-
ans own superscription read and
reread it, and pondered over il
and wondered how that which the
Courier-Journal said about Judge
Taft could be tortured into bad
faith TO Mr.. Bryan or az claiming
for Judge Taft-a political enemy
what had been denied 10 Mr.. Bro
an, a political friend. We reprint
in another column side by side
the two articles, the one from the
Comier-JOuInal on Judge Taft
the other from the World Herald
on Mr.. Watterson. II would take
La Philadelphia lawyer to detect
wherein what we said of Judge
Taft contradicts what we have
said Of Mr.. Bryan, or contravenes
any limitation we have put upon MI
Bryans part Of speech.
With this somewhat labored ex-
ordim Editor Watterson of the
Louisville Courier-JJournal proceeds
to a much more labored effort ia
explain why he commended frank
ness as quality that would
strengthen Secretary Taft as pres
idential candidate, after having

with the difference that the man

will not be the one to lose his life.
The campaign that will be made Is
likely TO prove the undoing of Theo-
dore Burton from physical stand
point. 1t is exceedingly doubtful II
he will survive many months after
the election, because he will go in

than his constitution can stand The
strain upon him will be something
terrific; 1t will be easy to Tom John
son, rugged as he Is and used to hard
fighting.
The Foraker-Dick Republicans are
likely to knife" Burton at the polls.
because IL Burton should beat Tom
Johnson in this race It would add to
the strength of Burton to such an
extent that Foraker and Dick would
suffer. But there are not a great
many Foraker-Dick Reublicans up

Burton may not suffer through dis
