WATSON GRILLS BREWERS.
Says Beer Makers Must Quit Politics
or Go Out OF Business.

The brewery interest and the
brewery saloons and their play in poll
itics is directly responsible for the
crusade that is being waged today
in Indiana" declared James E. Wat
son Republican candidate for Cover
nor, at Muncie Tuesday night, ex-
pressing for the first time since his
nomination. his opinion of the cau-e
of the temperance agitation.
Through the brewery saloons
that have been established in most
every county the breweries have
sought to dominate in politics. They
have made themselves unpopular
with the masses. An attempt was
made to force brewers out of politics,
but it seems that the people have be-
come so dissatisfied that they are de-
terntned to eradicate the breweries.
at used to- be that the brewery in
terests were well enough satisfied TO
conduct business with the home sa-
loon keepers. They sold to men who
owned their own fixtures and they
were generally people who conducted
quiet place. When politics was
placed with the saloons breweries es-
tablished and furnished saloons in
nearly every section of the state in
order to cater to certain classes for
political purposes, but laws were vio-
lated In many cases they were
flagrantly violated, and to such an
extent that the populace became
aroused. The people demanded more
rigid enforcement of the laws and law
regulation. Either the brewery must
go ont OF politics or it must go out
OF existence"
Mr.. Watson stated this was mis-
first time to voice in public his opin>
ion regarding the brewery controver-
sy. The real object of Tuesday
nights meeting was organization IL
was an invitational affair, and Mr.
Watson had not planned TO speak.

METCALF WANTS
ONLY S69,270,0OO
Thinks This Would Build War
Vessels.

Washington, Feb. 7.-Concluding the
appearance of navy officials before the
house committee on naval affairs, Sec
retary Metcalf asked for an appropria-
tion of $50. 9.270, 900 for construction and
conversion of war vessels. While no
vote has been taken nor has sentiment
in the committee crystalized, the i'm
preston prevails that the secretary's
estimate will be reduced materially,
possibly to the limit of $4,000. 900, in
accordance with the policy of economy
and retrenchment felt to be necessary
in the face OF an impending deficit and
the prospect Of reduced revenues
throughout the coming fiscal year.
The secretary urged upon the com
mittee the necessity of authorizing the
construction of four battleships to cost
s3S, 900. 900 for all: four scout cruisers.
at $4,000. 600; ten destroyers. at S.

plain with regard to the quality of
the program that will be offered at the
Richmond chautauqua the coming sea
son. A tentative program has been
prepared and it includes the names of
some of the best known entertainers
and lecturers. Included in the list
are Frank Dixon, lecturer; Maud Bal
lington Booth, the great Salvation
Army leader; Booker T. Washington,
the most prominent leader OF the col
ored race; Congressman Champ Clark,
of Missouri, who is threatened with
election to the United States senate
John Sharp Williams, OF Mississippi.
a member of congress. and who has
been elected to the senate; DR.. Charles

of Richmond through the courses of
university extension lectures he has
given here: S. w. Gillian, formerly Of
prominent lecture bureau; Congress
man Adam Bede; Leon II. Vincent, Of
Boston. who is engaged in university
extension work from Chicago; George
Vending, lecturer of national promi.
nence: DR.. FOrbush, an educational
worker: the Barnard family, musi
clans, and Rudy Brothers, musicians.
Not all these have oeen secured, II
should be understood, but this is an
indication of the calibre of the materi-
al that the committee hopes to get and
which it has reasonable assurance oil
getting. 1t is not the intention to
bring both Champ Clark and John
Sharp Williams, eminent democrats
but one or the other will be secured
Besides there are numerous other
speakers. musical organizations and
attractions that will be negotiated
with and it is assured by the commit
tee that the program will be one Of he

Wayne County Primary Will
Take Place Then and the
Event is of More Than Or
dinary Interest.
CLEAN CAMPAIGN Is
VERY SIGNIFICANT.
Unpleasant Incidents General
Iy Surrounding a Campaign
Such as Has Been Pro-
crossing, Are Eliminated.

Next Monday will take place the
battle of the ballots" and the many
candidates for township and county
offices in Wayne county will know
their fate by late hour that night.
Perhaps no primary ever conducted in
Wayne county has been freer from
unpleasant incidents, such as frequent
ly arise in connection with political
contests, than the one just now draw
ing to a close. There has been but
one happening in which any particu-
lar feeling was shown-the Jenkinson-
Shurley matter and that seems 10
have entirely blown over Action by
the central committee that eliminated
many of the questionable practices of
former campaigns, and saved the can
didates from the blood-suckers who
make a temporary living from the po-
litical game, has been very beneficial.
1t is considered a safe prediction that
Wayne county will never return to the
old plan, but rather the lines will be
more tightly drawn in the future than
at present, if anything. Henry
county has followed the lead OF
Wayne in this matter, SO that the ex-
ample has not only had its good re-
suits locally, but at large as we'll.
AS to the outcome of the primary,
there is just now much speculation.
Some of the contests are of more than
ordinary interest and still there has
been comparatively little said about
them. This is another indication OF
political prOgress-it shows the voter
able to make up his mind for himself
and that he makes it up and goes qui-
etly to the polls to vote his choice and
that ends the matter. In the county
there is much interest in the race for
and Charles z. Shiveley, and for coun-
ty treasurer, sought by Messrs. AL
bertson, Jenkinson and Shurley. The
race for prosecutor is a most unusual
one, not a Richmond attorney seeing
fit to run for il. Charles Ladd and
Joe c. Burgess, two rural teachers, arc
the only candidates. In Wayne town
ship the chief interest centers about
the race for trustee, sought by ten
candidates, one of them being Walter
Dennis, colored.
Voting places in this city for the re
publican primary election on next
Monday are announced as follows:
First war-COurt house.
Second ward-City building.
Third ward-Schaefer room, North
Eighth street.
Fourth ward-Pythian temple.
Fifth ward-North End Mission anG
HOdgin shop.
Sixth ward-Thirteenth and Main
Seventh ward-236 Pearl street
Eighth ward - Republican clut
rooms.

Washington. Feb. 7.-President
Roosevelt is writing a second letter

mond. Ind. This second letter is for
the public. The first letter which
he wrote to Mr.. Foullle, and which is
now in the Indiana mans possession.

1t is said to contain some very vigor-
Gus language bearing upon the accu-
sation that the administration is US
ing federal patronage in Secretary
Taft's behalf and to make use of the
shorter and uglier word"
The new letter to Mr.. Foulke is a
general answer to the presidents
critics and will embody the informa-
ton obtained from members Of the
president at a special cabinet meet
ing ten days ago. The president has
chosen his own way of replying to his
critics. Inasmuch as much of the
criticism of his appointments comes
from the senate, it was thought at
first that his reply would be addressed
to that body, but the president has de-
cided upo letter to Mr. Foulke as the
vehicle of communication to the pub
lie.
Recently Mr.. Foulke wrote a letter
to the president calling his attention
to the charges in the public prints that
federal patronage was being used to
secure support for Taft The presi-
dent will give out Mr.. Foulke's letter
and with it his reply. Mr.. Foulke
was here last Saturday.
