Judge Ewing Gives Details
of the Now Famous Wat
terson Conference
HARPER'S EDITORIALS were
SOARING WILSON f0llOWERE
Harvey. Wilson and Wattcrson Met
and Talked the Situation Over and
Decided That Wilson's Name Should
Be Taken From Masthead.

Nashville. Tenn. Jan. 1s.-"we'l
have to put on tho soft pedal" This
Is the exclamation Colonel Harvey
editor Of Harpers Weekly, is declared
to have made when Governor Wood
row Wilson. forced to reply to Har.
vey's inquiry. said he feared the edi.
tortal support in the Weekly was In
turtng Wilson's cause.
The statement purporting to he de-
scrtption OF meeting between Harvey
and Wilson with Henry Watterson in
New York. was given out here today
by Judge Robert Ewing. middle Ten
nessee representative Of the state
Wilson organization. Judge Ewing
who is related by marriage both to
Wilson and Watterson, asserts the
governors statement to Harvey was
made against the dictates Of personal
friendship and with realization that
Harvey's support had brought him
(Wilson) to the front. "Ewings
statement begins:
Colonel Harvey's intimates we'll
know that his editorial utterances
were wholly untrammeled. He had
been brought into close friendship
with Woodrow Wilson and had con.
ceived the highest estimates of his
character"
Ewing goes on to tell how Harvey,
through editorials In Harper'sWeekly,
championed the cause of Wilson for
the Democratic presidential nomina-
ton.
Many not knowing the real inde-
pendence Of Colonel Harvey" the
statement declares and seeking to
harm the Wilson cause. began to in
dulge in all sorts of conjectures and
unfounded intimations." AS a result,
a number Of Wilson's friends began
to be Of opinion that perhaps the
Weekly's earnest support was militat-
ing against his (Wilson's) prospects.
Ewing declares Governor Wilson'S
opinion was decidedly contrary to this
brought him to the front, appreciat-
ing Harvey's support and feeling it be
valuable"
Then followed the meeting In New
York between Wilson. Harvey and
Watterson. Ewing declares at the
close OF the conference Harvey arose
and said to Wilson: l wish to ask you
a question. and I expect frank
answer. DO you believe the booming
nature Of my articles in Harper's
Weekly is injuring your cause?'"
Ewing says Wilson's friendship for
Harvey demanded that the governor
answer in the negative to the query,
but that Harvey demanded frankness
and that Wilson was obliged. with
much embarrassment to make such a
reply. That later his name as can
didate for the Democratic presidential
nomination be removed from the edi-
toriaI columns of Harper's Weekly,
and Ewing asserts Harvey exclaimed: !:
well. I'll have put on the soft
pedal"

La TOILETTE HAS
WILSON BEATEN
Wisconsin Democrats Give
Senator More Applause
Than the Governor

Madison. Wis.,, Jan. 19.-Leadins
Wisconsin Democrats who gathered
here today to organize the state for
woodrow Wilson gave loudest ap-
plause to the name of LaFollette. II
came when William T.. LaFollette,
brother Of the senator was introduced
and made vigorous speech for Gov
ernor Wilson for president. William
7. LaFollette failed to mention any OF
the Republican presidential candidates
but praised William ]. Bryan and
Woodrow Wilson as the original pro-
gressives.
Addressing the delegates as fellow
Democrats" Mr.. LaFollette said: 1--WE
have the right to say fellow progress
sive Democrats. ! believe We were
progressive In advance Of the Repub-
licans who go by the name of progress
sives.
II believe that national committee
man Davies voiced the sentiments of
all Of US this afternoon when he said
that the great commoner. William ].
Bryan was the leader Of the progress
sives Democrats OF the states today
and ] am proud to say that I have
been in my feeble way follower Of
that man was originally a progress
sive Republican but transferred by
support in 1896 and say here that we
udS0 uOL udU u DoIuOCt0tlC pI0tlOrm
since. that was not progressive"
Mr.. LaFollette said that in his opin-
Ion a man OF the deep front and mem
tai caliber of Woodrow, Wilson can
not fail to lead the Democratic party
to victory in 1912. 80. :.
The conference formed the Wood.
row Wilson league Of Wisconsin and
elected the following officers: i:
President, John A. Aylward.. Madi-
SON.: vice president, Robert. B. Kirk
land, jefferson; secretary. Edward
Luckow. Baraboo: treasurer. Max
Hottelett. Milwaukee.
Vice presidents also were elected for
each congressional district.
Resolutions passed recite in part a.
follows:
Whereas we believe that the senti.
ment Of the Democratic voters of
Wisconsin ID largely in favor Of Gov.
ernor Woodrow Wilson's candidacy.
Nov. therefore. to the end that the
choice of the people may not be de.
feated through the work Of orkanisa.
tions already active.
BE Il resolved. that We organise q
league to promote in fair open and

rett declared that congress should
settle the question OF tolls at this ses-
sion and he was emphatic In stating
that the tolls should be low.
Declaring hat reflex benefit some-
times was greater than direct benefit,
MIR. Barrett said the geenral good
which was to come from the Panama
canal and Pan-American commerce
would affect. indirectly II not directly,
all classes OF commerce and activity
and ne urged the Importance of the
national support of the enterprise.
Il have to tell you." said Mr.. Bar
rett. that Japan and every important
country OF Europe which has a mer
chant marine are making active and
comprehensive preparations to take
advantage Of the canal. The shipping
and business interests Of the United
states are not making corresponding
preparations. In comparison with
what the foreign world Is attempting
we are tagging behind at dangerous
ly long distance.
THE business men Of Detroit and
the central west should urge without
delay upon congress- the necessity of
adjusting the question of canal tolls
at this session. There is great danger
that the interest in the approaching
political campaign and that the claims
of other classes Of legislation may
sidetrack this matter Of the canal
tolls. Public opinion must be arous-
cd and require that congress shall
act.
The whole success or failure Of
the Panama canal may be determined
by the tolls. The great point ia to
make them sufficiently low. II they
are above certain figure. the canal
will prove an overwhelming disap-
potntment and the tonnage that will
use 1t will be inconsiderable."

URGES PEACE

New York. Jan. 1s-Dr. Ernestine
G. Hard. president Of the German
American Peace society. and chairman n
Of the peace committee Of the National
German-American alliance, issued to-
day an appeal to German Americans
protesting against what he styles the
erroneous Interpretation Of the arbi-
tration treaties with Great Britain and
France.
He denounces as preposterous and
instncere the contention that they pro-
pose an alliance with the nations nam
ed and argues that as much as a SINH
lar treaty between the United States
and Germany is held in allegiance until
the senate's attitude toward the pend
ing treaties Is ascertained, this ought
to remove all hesitency on the part of
the Gernan-Americans in urging the
senate to ratify the treaties as pro-
posed by President Taft.
If the senate fails to ratify the 9TH
er treaties. he says. the United States
will be eliminated, probably for many
years, from any active participation
in the movement in which heretofore
It has held undisputed leadership.
