Watson for Governor Local Option Favored in Convention
The Republican state convention nominated James E. Watson for governor after multiple ballots and adopted a local option plank pushed by Governor Hanly. Watson led the early balloting, with C W Miller Taylor and Hugh Miller trailing, and acclamations filled other state posts including auditor and attorney general. The Marion county deal and inter-party maneuvering shaped Watson’s nomination and the broader ticket in the May session.
