Makes Significant Statement
To Group of Friends in
Indianapolis.
COUNTS ON LABOR VOTE
FORMER CONGRESSMAN THINKS
THAT HE HAS PACIFlED THAT
ELEMENT BY HIS SPEECH At
TERRE HAUTE ON LABOR DAY.

indianapolis, Sept. 9.-While James
E. Watson was in the city a day or
two ago he talked with a number OF
his friends at the Claypool hotel, and
the subject of politics was one that
came up during the course of his talks
He was not arguing with anyone, but
when bunch of political workers get
together there Is sure to be something
said along political lines.
Naturally, in this instance the SUBJ
ject of who would be in the race for
the republican nomination for COVER
nor came up. Somebody remarked
that the fact that Watson had been
invited to deliver the Labor day
speech at Terre Haute indicated that
organized labor in Indiana was not
as strongly opposed to Watson now
as it was last year when he was a
candidate for governor. Some one re-
marked that probably organized labor
still remembered that it was double
crossed last winter by the democratic
legislature, although the labor vote
had enabled the democrats to win at
the election and carry the state.
II guess that's right" said Watson
They will not soon forget that
Jim, they seem to have a different
opinion of you now than what they
had last year, suggested one Of the
men present.
1T looks that way" Watson answer
ed. But then. l was not defeated
so badly, considering all of the things
that I had against me-"
Not so badly that it need to scare
you out of running for governor
again."
Don't Want to Beat Party.
Well as to that l hardly know
what to say" said Watson. Il am
very conscientious about the :epubli-
can party. don't want the party to
be defeated again, and I would not
for one moment think of going on the
ticket if it would harm the chances of
the party at the election. If the boys
believe that l would be detriment
to the ticket I would not accept an
other nomination. 1t is entirely too
early to give much thought to that
matter.
This is regarded as the most signifi.

Americans are hard to please. No
sooner do they have the North Pole

BuIlfiuhts, Etc,

From the Tacoma Ledger.
1t has been our habit these many
years to deplore the brutality of the
bullfight and to look down upon the
Epanish races because they encourage
such sport We have had superior
airs in discussing the tastes of the
Spanish and Spanish-Americans, but
1t is about time we We're taking an in
ventory of our own tastes. AS one
woman of Spanish descent living IN
this country, put it. it is time for
Americans who have been talking loud
ly against the Spanish national sport
to put their mufflers on and keep them
on. The occasion for these reflections
was the recent automobile races in
which several drivers and some spec
tators were killed and injured. Is It
any worse to kill few bulls and now
and then a bullfighter than to kill sew
eral human beings in an automobile
race? OF course, there is distinc-
ton in that drivers of automobiles
enter the races knowing the risks
while bulls are forced into the contests.
but there is not great deal of differ
ence from the standpoint of brutality.

FARMERS FAIL
TO UNDERSTAND
Suspension Of Work on High
Line Canal in Colorado
Causes CONSERVATION.

Grand Junction. Colo, May 14.-Private
Information from Washington received
here tonight stating that the suspension
Of work on the high line canal project
was under orders from Secretary Of the
Interior Bailinger was received with great
Indignation by Grand valley farmers.
State Senator Horace De Long and Sec
rotary Apperlee of the Grand Valley Wa
ter Users association left tonight to in
form Secretary Ballinger that 95 per cent
OF the land owners of the section watered
by the canal desire that pthe project be
carried out by the government and not
by private persons.
Ex-senator Henry NJ. Teller, in a state
ment tonight admitted that he had in
terviewed Mr.. Baiitnger in the interests
of certain lawyers anxious to ascertain
whether Mr.. Ballinger would continue to
carry on the work.
Il asked him if he was willing to allow
private parties to build the canal said
Mr.. Teller. "and he said that If he was
perfectly satisfied that they had means
and were capable Of completing It he was
entirely willing to let them 90 on with
the work
Mr.. TeIIer's statement further intimates
that Mr. BalHnger was doubtful whether
the 81 $4,000 necessary for the completion
of the work BY the government would be
available
IT is asserted by members Of the water
users association that the discOntinuance
OF the work is the result OF efforts b4
private parties who hope TO be allowed
to take over the project. should the gov
eminent withdraw its aid.
