Delegate Accuses
w atson of Treason

Is Tom Watson@paVing the way to a
reputation of Oscar Underwood In the
Baltimore convention in case he should
be elected a delegate a large and named
chairman of the Georgia delegation"
Is it his purpose, once he gets the
machinery in hand, to undo and upset
the result Of the late Georgia presiden-
tial primary and to throw the Under
wood delegation to such candidate for
the presidency as suits him best after
things get well under way in Balu-
more
That his. present attitude means
nothing less than the two queries sug
eest is the direct and positive charge
brought against him today by various
hostile Underwoodites who viii sit IN
tomorrow's state convention.
Discussing this phase of the Watson
controversy today. one delegate said
Watson Attacks Bankhead.
Watson has been making vicious
and significant verbal assaults upon
Senator Bankhead Of late and they are
made for purpose.
Senator Bankhead is oscar Under
been meeting with rema rSable success
He is citizen of UuderWood's state
and a lifelong friend Watson has been
warning Bankhead in the Watson pub
locations that he is an embarra ssment
to Underwood and he has threatened to
quit Underwoods cause If Baukhead
doesn't
The idea of Bankhead quitting I'M
derwoods cause now is absurd, of
course. even if some person OF impor-
lance We're to demand it; but Watson
does not care whether Bankhead quits
or not. He is himself seeking an ex-
cuse to quit the cause of the great Ala
bama man
IF this madman-this Watson-is
sent to Baltimore, he will not stick to
Underwood past the first ballot-if he
sticks that long, He would not care
snap Of his finger what the Georgia
primary said-he hates Hutchens, and
Fielder and Clark Howell, and every
man responsible for Underwood's vic
tory in Georgia
Hates Democratic Party"
Nothing would delight him mo
than TO betraN them into The hands Of
their enemies, and then laugh at his
ancient foes the so-called city poll
ticians
What reasonable man who has kept
tab on Watson does not know lie hates
the Democratic party, Just as he hates
everything and everybody he can not
control and bend to his will? The Sc
cret of his antipathy to Bryan is that
Bryan hu, kept himself straight with
the Democratic party, instead Of hat
ing, stabbing and deserving it as Wat
son has done
"lf Georgia wants to see its 6rst
presidential primary nulhhed, let Geor-
gia do that most foolish of all things,
send Tom Watson to Baltimore as chief
cook and bottle-w washer for the Georgia
delegation

Tho Sea Captain.


1 have watched them wave from the
crowded decks
AS my ship put out to sea,
With their smiles and tears and their
joys and fears,
But most in a merry glee-
Two thousand precious human lives.
And their care vas laid on me
j have watched them wave to the crowded
As they turned to their native land.
With a cheer all round for the homeWard
bound,
And a tear for the foreign strand.
Two thousand precious human ives
In the hollow of my hand!
And this is the law of the utamed sea.
Where never a law is known:
Where non may say where the right may
lie,
Save me, and my word alone;
IF you bring not back these precious
lives.
You must not bring back your own!'
And they haunt our sleep on the mighty
deep.
And the awful waves run gray.
And no man knows when the tempest
blows
What night will end the day:
But our lives are pledged that We'll bring
them home,
And the pledge we always pay!
