more than 100, armed with guns and

there had been a warrant Of arrest

was list Of questions contained in
an article on the Roman Catholic
Hierarchy, written by you and pub
ished in the May issue of Watson's
Magazine, and purporting to be
questions propounded by Roman
Catholic priests to women in the
confessional. The matter, as l I'M
derstand, Of which complaint is
made, was in Latin. Do you think,
as matter of law, that any publica-
ton in a dead language, however
obscene, would come within the pur-
view OF the statute against the send
ing of obscene matter through the
mails? [ take it, however, that you
would not seek to evade punishment

How Things Were Fixed
by GentIemen's Agree
rl1ent I" at Atlanta
Concluded from Page Five. J

CHARACTERISTIC WatSOneSQue pose.
Watson accepted the assurances that
the districts had already voted on
the delegates to Baltimore, one by
one. The assurances that there had
positively been no slate making were
very gratifying to the Gentleman
from McDuffie.'' How much be be-
lieVed the assurances is doubtless
another story. Thomas is no fool.
And SO the comedy ran on. And
it was hard to tell which one was
the most courteous, and the Gen
tleman from Chatham" bowed his
deep acknowledgements when the
Gentleman from McDuffie' made an
allusion to the distinguished ances-
tor Of the Gentleman from Chat
ham,
Oh, it was a love feast, all right.
But the stiletto was in readiness
on both sides, just the same, and
behind the smiles and behind the
agreement and the desire to keep
the peace and avoid calling out the
Gate City Guards, there was mani
fest anxiety on the part of the lead
ers that the situation might even yet
get away from them. Behind the
smiles there was strained express
sion.
But it didn't. In the end they
bumped the Gentleman from Nc
Duffie.' And the humping of Wat
son was the really picturesque Incl
dent in the convention.
The Agreement.
Under the agreement-at least so
Fielder afterwards declared-Wat-
son was to let him alone and he was
to let Watson alone.
Stations interests as guberna-
torial candidate, you see, were to be
eaCfediy observed.
Perhaps Watson didn't understand
the agreement that way. Any way,
he had announced that Fielder and
he couldn't go to Baltimore together.
And, to his credit, Watson tried to
live up to this announcement.
When the election of delegates at
large was brought up the names of
eight were promptly nominated,
with Thomas e. Watson leading off.
OF course, this was all by agree
ment, too.
Then it was moved that nominal
tions close.
Then-and here is where the
agreement seems to have been
misunderstood, or where the bump
ing of Tom Watson came ina reso-
luton was hastily put in that the
eight be elected together by accla-
nation.
Fire flashed from the eyes of the
Gentleman from McDuffie. This
was the challenge. He was on his
feet in an instant.
II protest" he declared. And
then the fun Logan. The Fielder
crowd in the gallery and on the
floor knew what they were there for,
and the bowling down of the Gen
tleman from McDuffie" promptly be-
gan.
Chairman Hutchens belabored the
table in vain for some minutes.
Finally Watson got in a few words.
coil and water will not mix" he
declared with emphasis, as he gavN
a shake to the Byronic lock of hair
on his forehead. And if you send
discordant elements to Baltimore
you injure the candidacy of Mr..
Underwood. You have no right to
require my friends to vote for this
man Fielder, and I Go not want the
votes Of Felder's friends. Let the
convention vote as it pleases, on Wat
son and Fielder.

elected, the eight had been named
for delegates-at-large The time
had now come when the Gentleman
from McDuffie' must take his little
drink of hemlock.
Oh, it gagged him all right.
"You can't shout me down." he
shouted.
But they did.
When the hubbub was edging off
the chairman hastily put a motion
that the eight MISUNDERSTANDING be
There were fully as many noes as
ayes-perhaps more. But no divi-
sion was taken. Hastily the eight
were declared elected.
And so Tom Watson was bumped,
and Tom Fielder elected.
Fielder came out in an interview
declaring he would have whipped
Watson to FRAGILE. How they do
initiate Roosevelt. AS matter of
fact, the leaders did not dare to let
Watson proceed with his speech; did
not dare let the counties vote on
Fielder The likelihood was too
strong to please them that Fielder
would have been the eel and Watson
would have done the skinning.
cit would never have done,'' said
one leader afterwards. "Why, if
Watson had succeeded in defeating
Fielder, he might have defeated
others, perhaps the whole bunch.
We had to give him a taste of the
steam roller"
Watson baked, but afterwards
took the dose quite gracefully
doubtless as per the preliminary
agreement. He had secured the big
gest advertisement he has had in
years. That, at least, was worth
something.
few minutes afterward, he re-
marked:
We'll, itlooks as though one can
not get decent, fair treatment at a
convention held in Atlanta. Per-
haps change of the capital to Ma
can would be beneficial"
And then later he stated that he
would bow to the will of the party
and would go to Baltimore and do
all in his power to promote party
interests.
And then, to show how gentle he
really is, and how the lion can be-
come just like little lamb when
properly tanned, he actually buried
his enmity to Editor Charles Pendle-
ton of the Macon Telegraph, and as
sisted in making him chairman of
the delegation. Perhaps he may
have been induced to this by some
covert intimations that Tom Fielder
might be so honored.
He Names PendIetOn.
When the delegation met to at
tend to this and other matters, the
names of Brantley, Pendleton, Wat
son and Hutcheson were put in nomi-
nation.
Watson at once arose. And then,
to the surprise of many, Watson
eulogized Pendleton as the "dean Of
Georgia Democracy" as lone older
in the Democratic party than him
SELF" and requested that his friends
on the delegation vote for Pendle-
ton
The other names were withdrawn
and the election of Pendleton was
made unanimous.
Net results:
Slaton has been assured of Wat
sons support-provided the agree
ment is not broken.
Watson goes to Baltimore as one
