WATSON'S SPEECH

TO L HELPS HIS CAUSE Not Called Upon to Answer Many Questions, But Entered Quickly and Frankly into Explanations. WAS AWAY WHEN BLAKELEY SQUABBLE WAS FOUGHT. Perkins Believes His Chances Best With DemocratsBryan Given Cold Shoulder in Demands for Speakers. (Special Correspondence.) Indianapolis, Sept 2. Since the appearance here of James E. Watson, republican candidate for governor, who last Saturday night stood before a big gathering of labor leaders and answered the accusations made against him regarding his attitude to ward union labor. It Is acknowledged on every side that he has greatly strengthened his case. To the surprise of everybody, he was not called upon to reply to many questions. Mr. Watson took his place on the platform and with full knowledge of the many misstatements that have been put 2-"st him. entered auickly and frr My Into explanations and denials. N ? paper comment gathered from ovs. the state, from Independent and party organs, generally agree that he made a strong case and that if any mistake was made in the appointment. on his recommendation, of Blakeley as state labor commissioner, Mr. Watson himself was not aware that union labor was opposed to his lection. The fight on Blakeley was carried on through the governor while Mr, Watson was In Washington, and this he made plain, and when he asserted that not one protest against Blakeley's selection had ever reached him, from labor or other sources, there were expressions of surprise. It it agreed by local labor leaders that Mr. Watson should have been appealed to person ally In the matter, as it is known that Gov. Hanly does not easily give ground and is much inclined to use his own judgment in matters that are put up to him. This is where the er ror was made, If there was any error, and Mr. Watson seems to be safely outside the vale of criticism. It was this particular point that scored so heavily for the gubernatorial candidate against his accusers, and fairminded men believe that Mr. Watson's position ia safe. It will now be difficult for the demo cratic labor leaders to make headway in their fight on him, as it would be a case of barking up the wrong tree. All told, the sixth district man has squared himself nicely and, aside from strengthening himself within his own party, has won over many of the opposite faith who believe in fair play. It is also being commented upon favorable that Marshall, the democratic candidate for governor, has never permitted himself to be drawn into the controversy, evidently prefer ring to wait until his opponent had fair hearing. There is now nothing to stand on, for campaign purposes at least. Turned Down Nomination. Edgar A. Perkins,1! who is president of the State Federation of Labor, local labor leader of note and a Bryan democrat. It Is learned, was offered the nomination for congress in this district by the Independence League party. It is also said that the offer included the payment of his campaign zpenaev Perklna turned the proposl that down Hat. It now develops that Perkins Is to be put at the head of the labor bureau of the democratic atata organisation. This would mean omething better In case of democra tic auccess In Marlon county or in the state, and Perkins evidently appreciat ed this fact Demand for Speakers. Tne democratic speakers bureau has announced that the demand for assignment of speakers is overwhelm lng. Requests are coming in from all over the state. This Is not surprising. of course, but it Is surprising that two men Folk and Johnson lead all oth ers. Even Bryan is forgotten in the game. Heretofore the Nebraskan has been popular above all others, but it is different in this campaign anoth e'r proof that the voters are weary of Hearing him. All the stock that he has In trade has long since been used up, if the requests pouring into the speakers' bureau mean anything, and now It is the "live ones" that the democrats desire to hear. The demands for Johnson and Folk lead others so far that there Is no comparison. Folk Is to be heard In Wayne county, according to present plans, and it is just possible that Johnson will lift his voice In that district. The democratic managers have their eyes on Watson's home district and they propose to make a fight there with the hope of cutting down the figures that it is admitted the republican candidate will have in his favor. The fact that such speakers as these are to be turned loose in Indiana is another proof that the democrats believe this state to be debatable ground. At least they do not want Kern's home state to make a poor showing in the fight Melissa r The only flour 1 ever had any luck with Is Gold Medal Flour.

Glen Thictlethwaite, another former Quaker star, has been appointed athletic director of Illinois college, Jacksonville, 111. This is W. J. Bryan's alma mater. And now look out for trouble. The champion Columbus team has arrived on its home grounds and is just three games behind the lead. Today the champs open a series with Indianapo lis. Wonder if the Indians will still be in the running when the series close? Louisville opens a series today with Toledo on the latter's home grounds. We predict the atmosphere will be crowded with fur for the next few days. There were a lot of sad fans in town ; last night when they looked at the i score boards and saw where Cubs Lad j lost to St. Louis and New York had ' captured a brace of games from Bos-, ton. j What's the matter with the great I WHO WILL WIN NATIONAL LEAGUE.

Marquard, the $11,000 beauty? Toledo rapped him for 7 hits in 2 1-3 innings yesterday, then Carr chased the Rube to the stable. Cleveland made it three straight from Detroit yesterday, right in the Tigers' lair, too. Its a close and exciting race in the American league, the Detroit lead being gradually cut down each day. Jack Hayden, one of the best outfielders in the American association, has been drafted by the Chicago Nationals from Indianapolis. The same club has drafted Outfielder Stanley cf the Louisvilles. The Boston Americans drafted James, the hard hitting Columbus catcher. He has made a reputation as a home run slugger. In Goode, the Akron outfielder, Cleveland seems to have picked up a star. He is as fast as Harry Bay and slams the ball all over the lot. The major league teams opened the grab bag for minor league titans and nearly a hundred young players were drafted. Many a gold brick is contained in this lot. CENTRAL LEAGUE. Won Lost Pet Evansville . . .s 78 53 .595 Dayton 74 5S .561 South Bend 73 ' 59 .553 Ft.
