MY. BUT TOM WATSON IS MAD!
REPLIES HEATEDLY TO AT
TACK BY MR.. PETTIGREW.
Populistic Candidate for Presidency
Accuses Bryan Of disgrace
full Deals.

ATLANTA. Ga. September 9.-Thomas
Watson Of Georgia, populistic candidate
for the presidency. has made reply to the
charge Of former Senator r. F. Petit
grew Of South Dakota that four years
ago the republican national committee
offered him So ZOO to make ten speeches
in support Of Watson's candidacy for
President on the peoples party ticket.
Mr.. Pettigrew said that to learn what
was behind the offer he asked the ex-
senator II the amount could not be in
creased to $4,000, but the reply was that
the committee was not inclined to give
one man that much. +
Senator Pettigrew declared that he de-
clined the offer and conducted an in
vestigation. with the result that he sat
isfied himself that the republican party
financed In q large measure Mr.. WatSon's
campaign.
Here Is Watson's Reply.
In reply to these charges Mr.. Watson
issued the following formal and signed
statement:
1.-THE reason why Mr.. Bryan has put
forward Pettigrew to attack me is that
my exposures Of Bryan's deals with the
negro leaders and with saloon interests of
Maine. Indiana and Ohio are hurting the
Peerless.
"These deals are disgraceful and ought
to be exposed.
LAS to Pettigrew. shall not notice him
further than to say that II anybody ever
offered him $4,000 for ten speeches on
any earthly subject the man who made
the offer was more literally supplied with
money than sense In 1904 made my
campaign for the principles which the
presidential ticket OF Bryan and Watson
advocated in 1885.
Bryan Goes Over to Gold.
Bryan had deserted these principles
and had gone over to the gold standard
men. The Populists called upon me to
take up the JeTersonian propaganda
where Bryan had left of. and did so
Republican money had nothing to do with
1t.
Whether the Roosevelt managers
gave financial aid to those who managed
the POpulist campaign I neither know
nor care. Everybody who knows q thing
about 1t IL well aware of the fact that
the campaign funds OF both the old
parties come from practically the same
source.
Bryan we'll knew that the Parker
campaign fund Of 1904 was raised by the
wall street element Of his party. 1t was
the money Of Ryan and Belmont which
paid for the luxurious special train en-
ployed by Bryan in his campaigning for
Parker.
Source Of Campaign Funds.
According to Bryan himself, the source
| Of tho campaign fund Of Judge Parker
was certainly not less tainted than was
| that Of the campaign fund Of Roosevelt
