THEY BOOST NEW (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) 1 than the Jim Watson meeting held in in the loft of the Merchants’ bank building at Indianapolis a couple of weeks ago. It was possibly a little less appealing to the progressive element which left the party so unanimously in 1912. The leading spirits of the new meeting were the same that stood pat at Chicago in 1912 and helped to name the ticket that carried two states in the general election. They lauded “our candidate” because he has "always been steadfast in the faith of the republican party.” They see no hope for the country except we return “to a high protective tariff.” The "present business depression” was of course greatly de plored. They have pulled this joke so many times that they almost believe it. Meantime Lil Arthur Robinson Ims field his declaration to become a candidate and the democrats are watching the quarrel between New and ; Watson with much pleasure. The ■ anti-Watson press which “roasted” the , recent Watson meeting because some men who “represented” wealth were present, is lauding the “New club” as one of the greatest “political stunts” ever pulled. o LOST —Black muff, by Runyon & Engeler grocery.
