POLITICAL CAREER STORMY.


Atlanta, Ga, Sept. Ex-senator
Thomas Z. Watson, Of Georgia, who
died suddenly at his residence in
Washington early Tuesday. was one
of the most famous figures in the
history of Georgia politics, and dur
ing the last four years was con-
sidered by observers as welding the
strongest political influence in the
state.
During the recent state democratic
primary his support was used in
the interest of Clifford w. Walker,
successful candidate for the guberna-
torial nomination. His position in
this race followed differences with
Governor Thomas W. Hardwick,
whom he supported two years ago,
His career was one Of stormy
political battles, dating back to 1890,
when he was elected to the Sind
congress. He ran for reelection on
the populist ticket, but was defeated.
In 1896 be was nominated for the
vice presidency of the United States
by the st. Louis populist's convention
and in 1904 was nominated for the
presidency by the peoples party.
1t was during this period that he
started his publications, which de-
veloped until they reached national
recognition. His first paper was de-
voted to the PRONUNCIATION of the
populist party's views and in 1905 he
established the famous Tom Watson
Magazine" in which he attacked the
Roman Catholic church for a num-
Der of years. This publication first
was issued in New York.
The Jeffersonian Magazine and
THE Weekly Jeffersonian' followed
as his next publications. During the
war these two papers were ordered
suspended by the United States gov
eminent, owing to Watson's opposi-
ton to the draft law and vigorous
attacks on other war policies of the

DEATH TAKES TOM
WATSON, GEORCA'S
BATTLING SENATOR
Quaint Figure in Dixie Politics
Is Victim of
Asthma. {

Washington, Sept. 26.-(By The
Associated Press.) - United States
Senator Thomas e. Watson, Of Geor-
gia, died suddenly at his home here
early Tuesday. Death was said to
be due to an acute attack of
asthma, from which Senator Watson
had suffered recurrently for some
years.
Although failing health had inter
rupted Senator Watson's attendance
at senate sessions frequently in the
last several months, he was in his
seat Friday when the senate ad-
iourned and his friends believed that
he was then showing Improvement.
He was stricken suddenly after din
ner Monday night and passed away
shortly after 8 O'Clock this morn
ing. He was &c years old.
The body of the senator was to be
taken to his home at Thomson, Ga,
at 8 D. m. He had already made
reservations on a train leaving at that
time to spend the congressional va
cation at his home. He is survived
by his widow and two grandchil-
dren.
Although having served only a
short time in the senate, senator
Watson's oratory and fiery attacks
upon legislation he opposed added to
his prominence gained in his home
state. He was an historical expert,
his senate speeches being rich with
incidents of history, particularly
French, of which he was a great
student. He was a strong advocate
of the bonus for former service
men and another of his strong poll
cies was advocacy of release of men
convicted during the war under the
espionage act He wrote President
Harding and made many speeches
favoring a general amnesty for such
