The Lake county delegates played poor politics.

Watson, who is known to be Identified with the state machine, knew that he could expect little from the Lake county delegation, which had decided to assume an attitude of neutrality and divide its votes among all of the candidates. And it is secretly reported that some Hammond men did not treat Gillett fairly. The northern part of the state had

It Was In-the Very Air. ' After the convention was called to

order almost every one . seemed to

know intuitively that Watnon would be elected. It was in the air. The cheers and the repeated calling of Watson's name left little doubt in the minds of most people as to how the delegates would vote.

After the" third ballot for governor

regularity of time Itself, were goinir

But the Lake county delegation stnrV

to their old "program. There were

dyed-in-the-wool Watson men, Miller

men, JLayior men, and a Hugh T. Millerman. There were 'no old Dolitioal

heads to make suggestions. Such men as W. H. Gostlin and John W. Dver

were almost rrantlc in their desire to

get the delegates to change their vnt

for Watson, but they failed to see the signs of the times and before thev

could act Watson was in the race for the office of governor.

It is true that In Cass countv. from

whence Quincy Myers came, the delegates divided their votos equally among the candidates for eovemor

The result was that Watson

This was especially true of all attorneys representing the Pennsylvania railroad, which had been offended by Gillett, And a peculiar fact about the convention is that Watson, who was opposed by union labor, was elected with a shout, while Gillett, who was endorsed by labor which had always had a square deal at his hands, was defeated. How It Will Result. The effect of the turn the political situation has taken in the northern Part of the tenth district will be hard to figure out. Watson, a man who was opposed by a large number of people in this district, is the candidate of the pary. Gillett tv,o
