Louisville, KY, July II. Back to
the constitution is the platform upon
which Henry Watterson, editor Of the
Louisville Courier-Journal, would unite
the Democratic party and capture the
reins Of government next year.
In an interview this morning Mr..
Watterson said: THE constitution Of
the United States is the strictly con-

institutions. 1t should be strictly OBJ
served in all of the coordinate
branches of this government.
Aside from the Return to the Con-

that the chief Democratic issue should
be the tariff and trust questions. He
thinks that it would be insanity for
Roosevelt to become a candidate for
a third term and predicts that Taft Will
be the nominee.
