THOMPSON MAKES
ANIzlPORTANT CONFESSION
Admits That 1t is the Will of
the Bosses with Him
and Not His.
NO PERSONAL VIEWS

and the State Machine is
His Dictator. -
His Dictator.

William r. Thompson. of Hunt
ington, Democratic nominee Iol
governor, was in the city Wednesday
morning enroute to Weston to make
a campaign speech.
In view OF the fact that MI
Thomson in an interview this week
stated that his personal views hac
nothing to do with the prohibition
amendment or the liquor question
Mr.. Thompson's visit here was OF
more than passing interest. Mr.
Thompson is known to be the man
the Democratic bosses forced the
Democratic party to foist on the PEG.
pie OF the state as a nominee for
governor. 1t is not denied that he
wanted to have George /. Neal, his
personal friend, as chairman of the
Democratic state committee, but was
forced by the machine to accept
Stuart F. walker as chairman. Mr..
Thompson is being held up as the
plant tool of Senator Watson, and
the candidate in his interview on
the prohibition amendment plainly
indicates that personal views and
habits must be relegated in public
life and the bidding of the bosses
done. He confesses that he is to do
the will of Senator Watson and the
other Democratic bosses and> that
should he be elected governor ne
would not De his own man but a
man Friday for the bosses OF his
party.
1t is also noted that DR.. Hatfield,
Republican nominee, declared HIM
self on the liquor question April IA
last long before he was nominated
and that Mr.. Thompson remained
silent on the subject until this week
and then only came out in an inter-
view after much nagging. admitted
by him in his interview in which he
says he had received many inquiries
concerning his position. 1t got too
hot for him and he rushed into the
Watson headquarters as many DEM
ocrats call it and there one of SEN
ator Watson's newspaper men pre-
pared and sent out the interview
for Mr. Thompson.
In these days of progressive
thought and action, people think it
strange that personal views should
not enter into the acts of chief
executive. 1t would be something
novel for the governor of state to
say in his message that such and
such claw should be enacted be.
cause the people want it but per-
sonally care nothing about it" 1t
would be Just as novel for gov
ernor to tell the legislature that it
should pass such and such law be-
cause the bosses want it although
tho same did not meet the personal
views OF the governor himself.
