A Tom Watson Stunt
"One of the most remarkable speakers
I ever heard was the late Senator
Tom Watson, of Georgia," remarked
E. P. Vandiver, president of the Carolina
National Bank, last night in recalling
some notable politicians and
their citfnpaigns. "Unlike Tillman
and Blease, he did not thunder nnd
gesticulate; his How of words was
steady and harmonious, like the rip-j
pling of a stream," Mr. Vandiver explained.
Shortly after the World war it was
Mr. Vandiver's privilege to hear Senator
Watson speak at Bowman, Ga.
At that time (v the senator was offering
for re-election, and was opposed
by Hugh Dorsey and a man
named Smith. In Georgia, candidates
do not speak at the same place
at the same time, but canvass the
state independently. Therefore Senator
Watson was the only aspirant
for Congress at the Bowman meeting.
,rWhen the speaking first started
I noticed a man dressed in overalls
seated high up in a tree," Mr. Va**
div#f said, "After a while Senator
Watson asked a question. Thfc tree-*
sitter promptly fired back an ailstfrer.
This continued all during the speaking.
I was somewhat mystrfled until
a friend whispered in my ear that
the man 'Was planted there by Watsom
It was just a showman stunt.
"In his address, Senator Watson
didn't mention his opponents other
than to request the JtJowman people
to give them a good audience when
they came to that town. 'Don't do
them like a gang of hoodlums did
me at Barnwell and howl them down,'
he warned. 'Both are mighty good
men. Mr. Smith i& a gentleman and
*o i* Mr.?ah?Mr.?' .
"At this juncture Senator Watson
rubbed his head, as if perplexed.
'Now what is that man's name,' he ,
muttered, pacing slowly up and down
the platform. 'What is his name?'
"'Dorsey!' shouted the man in the
t^e. i
" 'Right,* shot back Senator Watson.
'The man's name is -Dorsey.'
"This bit of dramatics," Mr. Vandiver
said, "just bowled the crowd
over. -Shout after shout went up and,
needless to say, Senator Watson was
elected when voting day rolled around."?-Anderson
Independent.
A. W.-Holman still persists, he
says in his intention to sue a number
of prominent members of the last
legislature to recover the extra money
paid them, in ordeT to get a court decision
which will compel all of them
to refund the Monty. 1 ^ i
