Colonel Watterson argues from internal evidence that the Cleveland article on the 1908 campaign is spurious, dismissing deep literary tests and relying on intuition about what Cleveland could think. He cites Southern support for Cleveland and claims it is inconceivable he would rebuke a party that backed him, challenging the notion that the South’s loyalty overrides reason.
