erection of what new buildings
are urgently needed, and the
grading of the grounds to pro-

there will be still ranged the power
OF vast masses of wealth, the real

The st. Louis populist convention
which Endorsed William Jennings Bry-
an for president in 1896, selected Wat
son as it's candidate for vice president.
He was at the time conducting a pop-
ulist newspaper at Atlanta, Ca, and
in 1904 the populist party decided to
run him for president. He made an
active campaign to revive the party.
In 1905 he began the publication Of
Tom Watson's Magazine in New York,
and in 1906 established Watson's JET
fersonian Magazine and the Weekly
Jeffersonian.
Watson was for many years an out
spoken opponent of the Roman Cath
Ollie church, and his book, the Roman
Catholic Hierarchy" published in
1910, caused him to be prosecuted in
the federal courts.
Describes Prosecution
This incident of his career was de-
scribed by Senator Watson in his biog-
raphy in the Congressional Directory
as follows: .~
prosecuted in the United. States
court for publication of 3 chapters
in tho Roman Catholic Hierarchy; bill
quashed by Judge Rufus E. Foster,
1914; second indictment procured ba-
sed on publication of same chapters;
Judge. William Lambden overruled
motion to quash; case tried and jury
voted 10 to 2 for: acquittal; tried again
November, 1916, and acquitted"
Senator Watson was the author of
numerous books. most of them of an
historical character. His opposition to
President Wilson, the CONSUMPTION
law, the espionage act and similar war
measures resulted in orders from the
postoffice department withdrawing
mailing privileges for his magazines.
1t was then that he established the
Columbia Sentinel at Thomson, Ga.
Anti4WiIson Democrat
Watson entered the race for the
United States senate in 1920 as an
"anti-Wilson, anti-league and anti-war
measures democrat" He received the
nomination over Senator Hoke Smith
and Governor Hugh M. Dorsey in the
democratic primary and was elected
in the fall over Harry S. Edwards, a
league of nations independent.
Altho he participated actively in
discussions of most OF the important
questions that came before the sen
ate since March, 1921, Senator Wat
son had an especial interest in. those
questions growing out of the war. His
sensational charges relating to the
maltreatment of American soldiers in
France led to a. senatorial investiga!
ton Minnesota Daily Star.
While you cannot always agree with
Watson in all his writings, his thoro
study of any subject discussed and
his fearless comments leaves a rich
legacy for any student of popular gov
eminent and makes a lasting impress.
sion on the reader His election to the
United States Senate after the perse-
cut;ons that he had been subjected to
was marked vindication by the PEG,
pie of his home state which we doubt
has parallel in the history of the
Union.-Ed. 90.

Under such conditions the base

compelled to. stick close to his

fall. This amount with SIAN

total to $4,000. According 10
members OF the board $4,000 Of
this amount has been spent for

ployes: $500. for expenses Of
the football training camp:
$500 on improvements and re-
