It is being told that travel!eg men are for Marshall for governor, but that is not true, for traveling men are talking more in favor cf Watson today than they ever were before. Some of the noisy Marshall advocates amen the commercial men havetumed out to be liquor agents, and they have spouted so much about Marshall that some got the impre sion that all traveling men were for him. A traveling man this morning, who had read Watson’s opening speech said that he could see no reason for any traveling man to support Marshall unless be was a liquor agent He believed other salesmen would sell more groceries, more clothing, more dry goods and more of every other necessity of life if the saloons were entirely out of business. And traveling men know that the progress of temperance has benefited their bush] uess, and traveling men are a good moral class of men as well as being t|>e very best business baromeers, When the election time comes the traveling men will be found lined up, for James E. Watson, the broad statesman and the defender of the existing temperance laws, as well as the champion of the republican plptform county option plank.
