HOW WATSON STANDS IN LAKE COUNTY. MR. WATSON'S ENEMIES perhaps we had tetter call them opponents, for those who know Mr. Watson are his friends not hi3 enemies are moving heaven and earth to dig up something whereby they can place him in a

bad light with the voters of Indiana at the November hustings. In contradistinction to that of his democratic opponent, Mr. Watson's candidacy has emerged from the passive and entered upon the active stage and by reason of his swinging around the circle in Lake County, he has come out into the open as a full-fledged gubernatorial candidate the republican standard bearer, lie has already become a casus belli and the target for the democratic slingEhot all of which is highly pleasing to the republicans for Mr. Watson loves to draw the enemies' fire. The republican candidate for governor of Indiana Is no amateur in politics. Had he been so he could never have defeated euch warriors as those of Charles W. Miller, V. L. Taylor, Hugh Th. Miller, ilk. His fame has long been national and he has figured in party councils outside of his own great commonwealth for many years. The democrats known this and with deftknife indeed have they bared the bulk of their opposition to the Rushville man. They expect to get the labor unions to .fight Mr. Watson and the saloon men to knock down the congressman's pins. Vhether they will be successful or not remains to be seen. The effort in Lake county flashed In the pan. It was woefully weak. The democrats will have to devise something else to put Mr. Marshall in the exeecutive chair than by attacking Mr. Watson's labor record. The republican candidate came in personal contact with influential labor unionists in Gary, Hammond, East Chicago and Indiana Harbor, and he defied any man to show where he had ever done anything inimical to the cause of labor. The challenge still stands. Mr. Watson evidently is no bullet-dodger. He stands by his guns and is eager for the fray. He realizes that Lake county is to be a focal point in the fray and will bring heavy artillery here before the battle of the ballots for he is coming back to Lake county and champion his candidacy like a man with red blood in his veins and right on his side. Mr. Watson will make his fight in the republican platforms, national and state. He believes in the policies of Roosevelt and is somewhat a fighter himself. Mr. Watson's attitude on the liquor question, we notice did not frighten any saloon men out of business in Lake county for those who support him declare that the lawabiding saloon man has nothing to fear from him. One official of the Saloon Men's association shook hands with Mr. Watson In Hammond and said, "Well, you look good to me." In the meantime when Mr. Marshall's candidacy passes to theactive stage in Lake county his views will be awaited with much interest. His attitude towards the big questions, to be momentous in carrying of Indiana by one party or the other will be watched with close attention. So far the democratic candidate has been exceedingly careful not to involve himself. He has been regarded as a strong candidate. He is such. Tho voters won't stand for truckler, or a sail-trimmer this year. The man who is elected governor of Indiana will have to take a positive stand in this campaign. It is to be an interesting battle.

Former state senator Lew Clrey of Fort Wayne and Dr. Sam Quillen of Linton, have gone to Mexico to look after some gold mining interests and the Denver convention must worry along without them. Jimmy Powers of the Rock Island has entered into a solemn agreement not to relate any of his startling adventures as a detective during the trip to Denver. Charley Campbell of ShelbyviHe, who cut considerable ice at the Chicago convention, will not visit the democratic convention at Denver. He has to attend a meeting of furniture men at Grand Rapids, otherwise he would go out west and prove that the democrats, in his opinion, cann ot get up a good a convention as the republican Will H.

I expect to have an interview with Mr. Bryan before reaching Denver, and will make my position clear to him." Mr. Kern added that he was sanguine that Bryan would be nominated on tho first ballot, believing that he would pecure 800 votes. He said that he favored a conservative anti-injunction plank in the platform. "I do not believe, however, in having the integrity of the courts assailed or their prerogatives interfered with," he said. "Therefore, I do not favor a rad leal anti-injunction plank. We must not trespass on our Judiciary." Everybody for the past fortnight has been talking of national politics and the men selected to carry the presidential banner of the party this year.

This Week's

NEWS FORCAST OF THE WEEK. Washington, D. C, July 4. During the coming week a large part of public attention will be absorbed in the proceedings of the democratic national convention in Denver. The apparent certainty of the nomination of William J. Bryan for the presidency is not expected to lessen public interest in the convention. The completion of the ticket is awaited with eager interest as is also the construction of the party platform. The sessions will begin Tuesday and probably will continue until Friday. On the same day that the democratic convention is called to order in Denver the American battleship fleet will sail from San Francisco for the trip around the world. The first stopping place of the fleet will be Honolulu, which port will be reached July 16. The battleship South Carolina, now building at the Cramps shipyard, will be launched next Saturday. The vessel is of 16,000 tons displacement and is a sister ship to the Michigan, launched several weeks ago. A number of large conventions are scheduled for the week, among them being a national good roads and legislative convention at Buffalo, the annual congress of the American Whist league in New York City, the convention of the National Baptist Young People's union in Cleveland, and the annual meeting of the Federation of American Zionists in Atlantic City. Abroad there will be a number of events of more or 'less Interest to American readers. The international rifle meeting, in which both the United States and Canada will be represented, will begin at Bisley Wednesday and continue three days. At Bristol King Edward will attend the formal inauguration of the new Royal Edward dock, which has been constructed by the corporation of Bristol at a cost of about $20,000,000. The automobile grand priz is to be run Monday and Tuesday over the Dieppe Circuit in France. Germany, France, England, Belgium, Italy and the United States will be represented in the contest. The so-called Iambeth conference of Anglican bishops will be in session in London, with delegates present from all parts of the world.

Emperor William will depart Tuesday on his usual summer 'cruise in Norwegian waters. It is understood that his majesty will, during the cruise, have a meeting with King Haakon.

Sidelights From Denver

Denver, Colo., July 5. The old saying that "out of the mouths of babes and drunken men cometh wisdom" was exemplified tonight in a restaurant where practical politicians are wont to gather. At a large round table in the center of the establishment sat a well known democratic politician. He probably did not know himself why he was eating, and he was too drunk to know what he as eating. Finally another man at his table ordered Camembert cheese. The drunken diner thereupon arose and addressed the assembled multitude: "I don't see," said he, "why anybody wants to eat cheese in the first place. In the second place, if he eats cheese, I don't see what he wants to eat Camembert for." He then entered into a discussion of this particular brand of cheese, and when in the midst of his peroration suddenly stepped and said: "That reminds me. Just like a lot of democratic congressmen kicking about Bryan. Just like 'em, just like 'em; kicking about Bryan. I'll be darned if I see why a man wants to throw dirt in his food when he knows he's got to eat it." Ignatius J. Dunn, the assistant city attorney of Omaha, who will place the name of W. J. Bryan before the convention for the presidential nomination, arrived at the Brown Palace hotel this morning. He had his speech in his inside coat pocket, but he was not telling what it contained. Mr. Dunn is not widely known In his own party and considerable surprise has been expressed that he should have been chosen to make the Commoner's nominating speech. The answer generally is that the nomination of Bryan has become so common that it does not make much difference who makes the speech. Some malicious person suggested that the next time he is nominated it will be done by phonograph. Big Jim Darrow of Cripple Creek blew into town partly to see the braves of ammany Hall and partly to see the

News Forecast outlaw horses ridden at the broncho busting show. He was taking a modest bite of lunch at Tortoni's when an old friend breezed into the restaurant to make a quick touch. "Slip me twenty quick, Jim," he said in a whisper. Big Jim looked his friend over for a minute, then drew a big roll from his pocket and peeled off a ten spot. "I said twenty, Jim." said the friend, reaching out for the ten. The Cripple Creek man slowly raised a piece of pie to his mouth with the aid of a knife and said: "That's ten you lose. Bill, and ten I lose." "If Bryan is nominated," said a man from Minnesota who has been in Denver for several weeks, "I shall think the democratic convention never was held here, but out in the mountains where I slept the other night. I was awakened shortly after I had gone to sleep. It seemed, by a chorus of RockyMountain canaries, as those little burros are called. Thousands of them got together under my window and greeted the dawn. That woke the cows up, and all the cows wear bells so they won't get lost in the mountains. Thosfburros consumed two hours in making nominating speeches for Bryan." A party of Bryan enthusiasts were taking a quiet drink in the bar of the Albany hotel when a man wearing a button with the single Inscription "31" on it walked up and ordered a glass of beer. After discussing the button in whispers the curiosity of the Bryanltes became too strong and one of them braced the stranger. "Friend," said the Bryanite, "that is a new button. What might '31' mean?" "That is what Bryan lacks for the nomination," said the Ftranger, as he planked down his empty glass and walked away. Brand Whitlock, the energetic mayor-Journalist of Toledo, views the ante-convention excitement with philosophical glasses. He said la his

opinion all this excitement was unnecessary as the president and vice president could be named by Wednesday night if the democrats so wished. Mr. Whitlock is at the Brown Palace Hotel. He rises early in the morning and writes before breakfast; the rest of the day he spends prowling around town looking for second-hand books.

Charles A. Towne. the versatile polltican who continues to announce his candidacy for the vice presidential nomination, will deliver a sermon at the People's Tabernacle Sunday night. His sermon will be devoted special1 to the men of Denver, but women are also invited to attend. Mr. Towne is no novice at this. For some years he has traveled the Chautauqua circle, and despite his busy political career, has never forgotten the spiritual side of man. Mr. Towne's pulpit date came about through an introduction to the Rev. W. John Clafee, associate pastor of the church, who promptly issued the invitation. When the New York delegation reached the Brown Palace hotel this evening a steam roller passed by. Pat MeCarren of Brooklyn, who has a contest before the national committee, watched the slow progress of the machine, and heard the crunching of gravel under its heavy wheels. An involuntary sigh escaped him. "That is Frank Hitchcock's steam roller," observed a friend maliciously. "And it was sent here to be used to to flatten you out," again MeCarren sighed. Alton B. Parker, who is a delegate at large, wore a worried look that indicated his anxiety over the row caused by his Cleveland resolutions. He refused to say anything for publication, but finally agreed to prepare a statement. This is his usual mode of procedure. Parker is one of the most careful men about talking for publication there is in tho country. He will not submit to off hand interview cave under greht provocation. Then he insists that the reporter shall bring him the copy, and he strikes out and changes and boils down until there is a mere skeleton left of what he had said.
