gfl WASHINGTON LETTER. ifi
Washington City, May 13, 1912.
The announcement #hat Tom
Watson is to head the Georgia del
egation to Baltimore has created
some interest here, especially as Mr.
Watson states that he will expose
William J. Bryan's “hypocrisy.”
The spectacdde of Bryan chasing
Harmon with a knife and Watson
chasing Bryan with a knife will be
well calculated to liven up things
in the national convention.
& * *
The first row, it is supposed, will
take place in the Georgia cun\'cu—}
tion when the delegates to Halti~}
more are selected. Whatever oppo
sitton to Mr. Watson dcvclnps,i
however, can b¢ easily disposed of
with the steam roller, and it is ;u‘,-‘
cepted as a fact that he will head
the Georgia delegation. Mr. Hutch
ins may think he is the head of the
delegation, but he will never be
heard in the convention, whercas
Mr, Watson will figure largely.
* ¥ %
Mr. Watson's grievance against
Mr. Bryan dates back to the cam
paign when the Democrats and
Populists fused, or thought thev
had fused, and Mr. Watson was
slated to go on the ticket with
Bryan. Mr. Watson was the Pop
ulist candidate for President in
1908 ; went back into the Demo
cratic party in 1910; bolted the
same year, and in 1912 will be by
far the most prominent member of
the Democratic delegation from
Georgia.
He is credited with having
turned the scales in favor of Un
derwood, and whether he goes as
a delegate because of gratitude or
because the Underwood manage
ment did not dare refuse is of lit
tle importance.
* * *
Mr. Watson will be at Baltimore
and we shall all watch with interest
to see what he does when he gets
there. If he attacks Bryan, as he
threatens to do, there will be a
scene, perhaps, like that in the Aud
itorium in Atlanta, when he claims
he was howled down.
It is not to be expected that in
such a large body as the national
convention, and in which Mr.
Bryan will have so many friends, a
nerce attack upon the “Peerless
Leader” will get through without
4 TOW.
I see some talk that Wilson
should be the second choice of the
“seorgia delegation. Such a sug
gestion is utterly absurd. Georgia
has spoken for Underwood and the
delegation should stand by him to
the last. 1 know the delegation will
not vote for Wilson, and 1 would
much rather see Underwood nomi
nated than Champ Clark. 1f Un
lerwood was not a decoy duck for
Champ Clark the delegation ought
to prove it. Woe shall know more
about this when the convention has
acted.
v Although Taft has a majority of
the delegates so far, 1 can't get
over the belief that Roosevelt will
be nominated by the Republicans,
and I expect to see Champ Clark
nominated by the Democrats, and,
confidentially, 1 think the result
will be “along the usual lines.”

Queer Remedy for Ague.
It was prescribed by an old super
stition that if those who were affect
ed with ague would visit at dead of
night, the nearest cross road five dif
ferent times and then bury a new laid
egg, the disease would be buried. If
the experiment failed, they attributed
it to some unlucky accident that may
have befallen them on the way.
Most Annoying.
“It's fearfully annoying to lose all
your money on a get-rich-quick
scheme,” said Mr. Silliwad. “Yes,” re
plied Mr. Lambkin. “Such a disap
pointment to find the most enticing
propositions coming along after you
kave wasted all your available coin on
a back-number prospectus.”
Prosperous Welsh Colony.
There is a W=lsh colony in Pata
gonia, established 46 years ago, that
has developed a fertile region in what
was a waste before. It is in the Chu
but valley, and among its enterprises
are more than 200 miles of irrigating
canals.
Expensive Way.
One way of taking the rest cure is
to walit three hours every day in the
