Former House whip James E. Watson speaks at the courthouse park addressing the largest local political gathering last Tuesday. He defends Republican tariff policy, criticizes Roosevelt and the Bull Moose movement, and argues for a tariff board to set fair production costs. Watson recounts convention events, disputes over Taft delegates, and asserts the 1912 proceedings were governed by merit and legality. The column also notes a local Elk initiation, a bail bond for a Paxton youth in a separate assault case, and an embezzlement charge against a former Union News Company agent.
