TOM WATSON IS RED-HEADED.
A typographical error has raised
a question in New York as to th
color of Tom Watson's hair. It
is red. He is a red-headed man,
both as to poll and temperament.
His politics is red-headed. He
was a red-headed Democrat before
he became a red-headed
and while he remained a populist
be was the red-headiest member of
the organization. He is again a
Democrat and a champ-
of Hoke for governor of
Georgia- His vocabulary is red-
headed. Whether praising his
friends or denouncing his
he sees red and talks writes
r.-d. First mid lust and in every
way he is a lion.
The color of his hair is the index to
the man. Not unlikely the heat of
this summer is in part due to the
fact that Mr. Watson is again in
eruption.
