HOUSE EXPUNGES PART
OF BLEASE'S MESSAGE
BOOMERANG
SAYS TILLMAN
He Believes That Incident Will Help
Wilson in Race for Democratic
Presidential Nomination..

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator
Benjamin r. Tillman r. Tillman,
of South Carolina, is of the opinion
that the Harvey -Watterson incident
| has proved boomerang for those
two gentlemen, and will react to
Governor Wilson'S credit rather
than injure him as a candidate.
While Senator Tillman has not
committed himself, and will not yet,
he is strongly inclined to favor the
nomination of the New Jersey
Executive as the most available
candidate.
THINKS WILSON STRONGER.
/ shall wait before committing
myself" declared Senator Tillman,
but / am greatly impressed with
Governor Wilson. l do not want
the Democratic party to name a
Republican in disguise, as has been
done in the past. AS things now
appear, l believe Wilson is stronger
with the people than he was before
the Harvey -Watterson incident. He
has been tried in the fire and came
out without singed wings. I had
given Henry Watterson credit for
more sense than to try to foist off a
story like this, with the material
facts concealed, though / now re.
call that he went back on free silver
and Bryan.
sfnstead of Wilson showing a
lack of gratitude to Harvey, as we
have been led to suppose, he saw
through the scheme, measured
Harvey and WattersSn correctly
and refused TO ,be lassoedS and .,tied.
to- Th0lnas yyan. This fact
should and will make him stronger
with the masses of the people, for
believe they are sick and tired of
being betrayed by men who have
climbed into high offices under false
pretenses.
Governor Wilson may as we'll be
prepared for other attempts TO de-
stroy him, as he is evidently very
obnoxious to the Wall street bunch
of men who run big business.
Every time one of these big Anti
Wilson bombs are discharged the
people soon discover a Wall street
clock lying around with time fuse
attached. If they keep on, 1 ex-
pect to see him get the nomination,
and if nominated l expect to see
him elected.'
