the state, and hence no legal way
to select delegates.
“The most active workers for the
convention wore: John Fulwood, who
Is a republican and holds an office un
der Roosevelt as postmaster of Ce-
dartown, and Yancey Carter, long a
republican deputy marshal under A.
E. Buck, then a populist, who was
denounced by me In The People s
Party Paper for his shameful vote
against the anti-barroom hill after he
had been elected to the state senate
on that Issue with my active help;
and who formally re-entered the dem
ocratic party, ran for the legislature
In Hart county as a democrat and
was beaten.- He did not support me
in 1904, nor did Fullwood. Yet these
are the men now steering the popu-
Impllcf obligations that rest upon
mo ln the campaign, regardless of
consequences to myself.”
Mr. Watson spoke with great earn
estness and with an evidence of
much feeling ln the matter. He Is
much Improved ln health and la un

count of himself In a public apeeb.
