THINKS WATSON WILL HAVE A HARD TIME.

Edward Brown, who Is In charge of the Indiana agent* of the American Central Life Insurance Company and who has had an exceptional opportunity to know the sentiment politically over the entire state Is of the opinion that James E. Watson will have a hard time to win over his popular opponent Henry Marshall and so expressed himself in Hammond today. Even the republicans in the central and southern part of the state where Watson is supposed to be the strongest are fearful of the outcome and look upon his opponent as a dangerous man. This is especially true in the - portions of the state where the labor vote is strong and among the negroes who resent the Brownville affair and oppose Watson because he Is an administration man.—Lake County Times (Rep.)
