Time enough has now elapsed
since the Wilson Harvey Waiter
son "episode" first came before
the public to enable us to get
something like a clear view of
the real cause Of the trouble. 1t
had its origin in the eagerness
of the groomers of Gov. Wilson
as a presidential favorite on the
Democratic ticket to get the
financial support of the Big Bus
mess interests that have their
lair in Wall Street. There it is.
Whatever professions the Demo
Gratis are making as party Of
pure motives and great SOllcl-
tude for the welfare of the peo-
pie, their stealthy tracks all point
towards Wall Street. When

cratic presidential nomination
are there too. with their palms
spread as wide. or perhaps
wider. than Marse Henry spread
his. The limeIght has not fallen
upon the others yet, but only be-
cause their little epiSodes have
not fallen within the circle Of its
searching glow. Watterson has
been so shamed that be has fed

and newspapers. And Wilson,
what of him: He is left stand
ing alone in his virtue that was
ready for sale as long as it might
be kept dark. And this is the
party of iine-spun political virtue
and morals. that has been Haunt

Roosevelt affair in the face of the
Republican party for years. We

begging in Wall Street to finance
his campaign.
