Watsons Fight for Vanderburg Delegates in Ward Contests
In Evansville and Vanderburg county Republicans held ward meetings to select forty delegates for the state convention in Indianapolis. The Watson faction led by Watransin faced strong anti-Watson opposition from the Ivans Millers and W.L. Naytor with two sets of delegates emerging in Seventh ward and other wards amid charges of repeaters and ballot voting. George Cunningham and W.L. Yegler spoke for anti-Watson, while Watson supporters claimed substantial anti-Watson sentiment but the Watson camp won in most subdivisions, though contention remained over delegation legitimacy and ballots.
