Evening Republican, Volume 20, Number 65, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 16 March 1916 — New and Watson [ARTICLE]

New and Watson

Harry S. New dnd James E. Watson ran neck and neck at the Now* that there are two vacancies both should be nominated. Party diplomacy, public desire, futuer welfare and all demand that Harry 3. New be nominated for the long term and James E. Watson for the short term to succeed to the vacancy made by the death of Senator Shively. Friends and admirers of Will H. Hays do not regard it proper ethics for him to get into the convention at this time. He should bide his time, serve this year as state chairman and an oppreciative party will be unanimous in rewarding him. He might create enemies by entering this race that would operate against party success and his personal reward.
