Robert IE wing, middle Tennessee representa-' tive of the state Woodrow Wilsnn nr. correct account nf a. meetinir whtcH1 took place in New York city some three weeks ago between Colonel Har vey, editor of Harper's Weekly, Hen ry Watterson, editor of the Courier-, Journal, and Governor Woodrow Wil son." '' . ; ' I -! Judge Ewing says that the publish ing house of Harper & Bros., which is-j sues Harper's Weekly, was the pub lisher of Wilson's history of .the Unit ed States. Some years ago it was reported that J. P.. Morgan furnished that house .with some financial aid, but not, as was generally understood, with any political purpose in view The statement continues: "Colonel Harvey's intimates, know ing his character well, knew that. his editorial utterances were wholly r un trammelled and that whatever ha wrote had as its inspiration his sin cere conviction of what was best for the country. He had ' been, years be fore, brought . into intimate connec tion, in fact, close ' friendship with fWoodrow Wilson, and had conceived the highest estimate of his charac ter and capabilities, as every one who , enjoys ; like opportunity is bound to do.

These editorials continued to appear with each issue, growing stronger and stronger until the attention of all readers everywhere was drawn to them. Many not knowing the real in dependence of Colonel Harvey, and seeking to harm the Wilson cause, be gan to indulge in all sorts of conjec tures as to what could be moving the Weekly to so ardently champion Wilson's nomination while others did np hesitate to put these conjectures into unfounded intimations. As a re sult a goodly, number of Wilson's friends . began to be of the opinion that perhaps the Weekly's constant and earnest support was militating against his pros-pects." The statement says that Governor Wilson himself was of the contrary opinion, appreciating that Colonel Har vey brought him to the front. At this juncture the meeting In New York was held in the rooms of Colonel Watterson. As Governor Wil son arose to leave, Colonel Harvey is accredited .in the statement with savins:: "Governor Wilson. I wish to ask you a question and I expect from you a perfectly frank answer. 'Do you believe that the booming nature of my articles in Harper's Weekly is injuring your cause?' " "Governor Wilson, thus appealed to, was greatly embarrassed, but he told them what he thought was the Im pression being created by the intensi ty of his- editorials. - ' ' . Colonel Harvey then &aid: . " 'Well, I'll have to put on the oft pedal.' , ' "All then parted in apparent perfect cordiality. . Colonel Harvey may. have been then disappointed, and, perhaps wounded, by the reply. Thinking over the matter since has evidently tended . to increase this feeling." - O- - ONE THOUSAND MEN KILLED.
