Tom Watson No Apple Of DiscordI
PIPES OF FOES GO OUT

Where are the pipes of Yesterday
Where are the ghosts of bewhiskered
Glooms?
Where are the dreams of red head
row?
Where are the busted % Watson
booms?
The pipes are cold, and the dope is dead;
The Glooms are gone-and they're gone
to stay
Where are the hopes of the Wilsonites?
The winds have blown them all away!
'Tis a sad story, Rudolph, and an
odd one,
II involves mass of blasted hopes
and shattered aspirations to discord
and strife; it tells pathetically enough
of many sweet bells tangled harshly out
OF tune; it relates of peculiar things
that were to be, but didn't come true.
it sets forth a narrative of earnest ef-
fort gone mistakably awry.
And it's pretty funny, at that,
Dream One.
This pipe had to do with an i'm
aginary big anti Watson caucus, held
Thursday in the editorial sanctum of
Clark Howell. and supposedly concern
ing itself with the utter and complete
undoing and annihlating of the Thorn
as E. Watson in the state convention.
The Wilson press said this gathering
was to be attended by Underwood
leaders" from all over Georgia; that a
great movement to put Tom out of
business was on. and that the anti
Watsonites were out for blood.
But as time ran on, and no caucus
caucused, in secret or otherwise. it was
proclaimed by the Wilson press that
the leaders scheduled to attend it
had taken alarm, and when the day
set for the caucus arrived, only one or
two" conspirators showed up.
The Real Facts.
Editor Howell says no such caucus
ever was mentioned to him until the
Wilson press imagined it and pro-
claimed it.
True, Mr.. Howell says, Randolph An
derson did pay The Constitution office
a friendly call Thursday, as is his Gus
tom when he runs up from Savannah,
and Tom Fielder did come into the
building at another hour and without
even seeing Mr. Anderson. to consult
about an item of interest to the city
of Atlanta; and if there was any trea-
son in that. those who were so minded
could make the most Of It.
That was all there was to the big
anti Watson caucus of Thursday. that
nobody ever called and nobody attend
ed
Dream Two.
This was a visionary uprising of ma =
tional leaders. in vigorous and vehe-
ment protest against Thomas e. Wat
son. as a delegate at-large to Balti-
more.
1t was made up of one small tele-
gram from Washington and a large
cluster of reportorial agination in
Atlanta
Failing in its effort to stir up a row
between Tom Watson and his Under
wood friends in Georgia, and discour-
aged in it's endeavor inside the state
the Wilson press went outside of the
state, and bestirred itself nightly to
rally some big guns nationalwise
against Watson.
No Uprising.
