THESE TEARS ARE NOT WRUNG FROM WILSON'S FRIENDS Those Hitherto His Most Conspicuous Opponents are Affected by Incident. Campaign Manager Issues Statement. Washington, Jan. 17.?The Wilson-Harvey episode - brought forth today, simultaneously with the arrival of Col. Henry Watterson, a statement by William F. McCombe, campaign manager for Woodrow Wilson, declaring that "the tears .1 V < t_ ..I i .u Ulttt are umug oueu over vuc iiiibbiiik incident are wrung from those who' have hitherto been the most conspicuous opponents of Governor Wilson." Colonel Watterson, who will be here several days in connection with the work of the Perry Memorial commission, read the McCombs statement as well as the one made today at Nashville, Tenn., by Judge Bwing, but declined to comment on either. "As to the Wilson matter," said the colonel, "I have nothing to add to what has already been said, unless it be seriously challenged by some responsible person. Then I ma> have a good deal to say." The statement issued by Mr. McCombs follows: "nuff sed." "With reference to the alleged Wilson-Harvey incident, it seems to me that Colonel Watterson has said in a statement all that needs to be said. It appears therefrom that as iar DacK as last ucioner ne nimseii suggested to Governor Wilson that Colonel Harvey's support, through Harper's Weekly, might be injurious and that he probably told Colonel Harvey himself the same thing. It Wt>Uld seem that Colonel Watterson ha$l convinced the governor of the truth of his opinion, and liad at least impressed Colonel Hftfvey with the probability of its truth else Colonel Harvey would not have propounded the question. It is passing strange that Colonel Watterson should feel concerned that the governor, in private conversation with himself and Colonel Harvey,.should, in answer to a pointed question, give . frank expression to the very thing which Mr. Watterson himself entertained and which he communicated to the governor and probably to Colonel Harvey. . "In Ootober last also, the very month in which Ub made these sug Al n I I1TM- n I V gesuons w governor ? nson, ijoionei Watterson said, in the Louisville Courier-Journal, editorially: " 'Two things seem tolerably sure to the surmise of the Courier-Journal: if VVoodrow Wilson is nominated for president it will be through the force of an irresistible pressure of public opinion, and if he is defeated for the nomination it will be by some organized agency well backed with money. " 'No Democrat of modern times has come into the running, Samuel J. Tilden alone excepted, with half at once of the equipment and the claim of the New Jersey governor.' WHOSE TEARS ARE THESE? "The tears that are being shed over the passing incident are wrung from those who have hitherto been the most conspicuous opponents of Governor Wilson?witness the frequently'quoted statement of Mayor Dahlman, of Omaha, Neb., who has for monthe not only been openly opposed to Governor Wilson, but who has been the aggressive champion of another candidate. The same applies to others who have indulged in lachrymose expressions. This, of course, is to be exnected whenever any man develops a decided lead for the nomination. "The gist of the issue, as I see it, as whether one friend in private ' conversation with another would, in answer to a plain question, resort to flattery or dissimulation or whether he should state the truth as he sees it." Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, jn a statement, came out flatly in defense of Governor Wilson. He declared the entire incident was "a bubble, not a billow." THE SOFT PEDAL. Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 19.? "Well, I'll have to put on the soft pedal." This is the exclamation of Colonel Harvey, editor of Harper's Weekly, is declared to have made when Gov. Woodrow Wilson, forced to reply to ' Colonel Harvey's query, said he feared editorial support in the weekly was inuring his (Wilson's) cause. A statement purporting to be a description of the meeting between Colonel Harvey and Governor Wilson with Henry Watterson in New York, was given out here today by r~Ro\ BAKING F Absolute, The only Baking from Royal Grape NO ALUM, NO LI Judge Rob' rt Ewing, middle Ten- o nes8ee representative of the State t Wood row Wilson organization, o Judge Ewing, who is related by o marriage both to Governor Wilson e and Mr. Watterson, asserts the gov- g ernor's statement to Colonel Harvey s was made against the dictates of c personal friendship and with the I realization that "Harvey's support v had brought him (Wilson) to the a front." EWINO'S VERSION. * Judge Ewing's statement begins: ! "Colonel Harvey's intimates well j knew that his editorial utterances j were wholly untrammelled. He had been brought into close friendship with Woodrow Wilson and had con- 11 ceived the highest estimate of his ct character." ? Then Judge Ewing goes on to tell how Colonel Harvey, through edito- " rials in Harper's Weekly, cham- ^ pioned the cause of Woodrow Wil- j son f?>r the Democratic presidential . nomination. Many, not knowing the real inde- c pendence of Colonel Harvev,'' the ^ statement declares, "and seeking to ? harm the Wilson cause, began to . indulge in all sorts of conjectures , into unfounded intimations. As a . result a number of Wilson's real , friends began to be of the opinion . that perhaps the weekly's earnest support was militating against his (Wilson's) prospects." a Ewing declares Governor Wilson's , opinion was decidedly contrary to V his view, appreciating that Colonel j: Harvey "had brought him to the front, appreciating Harvey's sup- ? pore ana ieeung 11 to be valuable." ~ THE NEW YORK MEETING. Then followed the meeting in New York between Wilson, Harvey and Watterson. Judge Ewing declares at the close of the conference Colonel Harvey arose and said %to Governor Wilson: A<I wish to ask you a quea- c tion-and I expect a frank answer. Do you believe that the booming t nature of my articles in Harper's e Weekly is injuring your cause?" { Judge Ewing says Governor Wil- j son's friendship for Harvey demand- \ ed that the governor answer in the c negative to the query, but that c Colonel Harvey had demanded H frankness, and that Governor Wilson was obliged, with much embarrassment, to make such a reply that later his name (as candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination) t was removed from the editorial col- a umns of Harper's Weekly. And * Judge Ewing asserts Colonel Harvey * exclaimed: i "Well, I'll have to put on the c soft pedal." 1 To Arouse Interest in Boys' Corn Clubs. * ! < Under the co-operative arrange- ] ment between the Farm Demonstra- i tion Work and Clemson College it is f planned to conduct a two weeks' campaign from January 27th to ( February 10th in order to arouse additional enthusiasm and extend ;the organization of the Boys' Corn Clubs. -] In view of the fact that the National Corn Show will be held in Columbia just about one year from now it is exceedingly important that every effort be made to have a splendid corn club in South Carolina. If the boys in a number of the other Southern States should surpass the South Carolina boys in this work it would be very unfortunate. The South Carolina boys took the lead in the work in 1909 and 1910 in some of the most important particulars, especially in yields. In 911 in several of the States the enrollment surpassed South Carolina. The boys also got ahead on. yields and production. This is accounted lur iu t% lutmoure, ui uuurw, utn^iuoti of the dry weather which prevailed in the Palmetto 8tate. In the campaign for larger and better corn clubs this year it is expected 'that the demonstration agents, the professors at Cleroson . College, the leading school officers and teachers, as well as other public spirited citizens, will co-operate. Meeting will be held in different parts of the State at the same time. Those in charge of the local proi grams will be expected to select and invite their own speakers. This work is in the immediate charge of Prof. C. B. Haddon, of i Cleroson College. He will be glad j to help the campaign in every way i ' that he can. Messrs. W. L. Baker, , of Bishopville, and W. H. Barton, , Kl~~| OWDER ty Pure ; Powder made Cream ofTartar ME PH08PHATE f Simpsonville, district agents in he demonstration work, will coperate cordially in promoting the bjects of the campaign. It is also xpected that Mr. W. W. Long, eneral field agent of the demontration work, C. B. Martin, in harge of the hoys' work, and O. H. lenson, assistant, of Washington, nil aid in the campaign, and attend ,s many of the meetings as possible.
