Watterson.

New York is not represented on the
board Of Mr.. Watterson's press advisers
No editors Of any consequence In the EN-
pire state for Mr.. Bryan? This is slight
change since 1900. Then Mr.. Hearst gave
his support. Now even he turns his back.
And of the three named in Massachusetts
one proves to be dead. But the number
of advisers is not important Does Mr.
Watterson need any? Is he not whole
board In himself? He lacks neither zeal
nor ability. He knows the whole anti
Bryan argument. having in the past sup
piled a large portion of it: and what he
has helped put together he ought to be
able, single-handed. to take apart.

And smiled her heart away.

Spellbinders now look pretty glum
And gray,
Although they knew IL had to come
Some day:
And IL will put them on the bum
For pay.
Their minds are in an awful state
or funk:
Their choicest flights they fear may rate
As junk:
For, matched up with the truly great,
They're punk.
The voters will leave them alone,
Or cha6
And jeer at them in raucous tone,
And laugh.
And then 60 listen TO the phon-
