Kentucky Colonel Says Ques
tion Now Is Which of "Us
. Has LiecP Denied He
, Ever Approached Ryan.

Washington. D. C, Jan. ao.Colonal
Henry Watteraon, editor of tha Loui
vllla Courlar-Journal, laaued ' a State
ment, laat ntsrht sivinf hla side rthe
Watteraon-Woodrow Wilson-Colonel Har-
. vey controversy. Ha promlaed It aa tha
Jaat'word on tha matter from him.
- Colonel Wattereon a atatement to the
press raises, as ha inenuoualy admits,
whether ha r Governor Wllaon "has
. lied." Ha roea further to say that
Governor Wileon . "dares not face tha
facta." ': ; - ' -.
While he falls to ive any proor 01
his statement, tha Kentucky editor de
nies ha ever asked Thomas F. Ryan to
contribute to the Wilson fund, saying
that ha (Watteraon) and Governor Wil
son had threshed out tha . matter ana
that Wilson "expressed ,tha fear" that
tf It became known that Hyaa had
would be materially hurt , .
Watteraon swears that tha Ryan
story, as far as It related to Colonel
Harvey, Is a lie made out of whole
cloth. So far as Ryan la concerned,
.there Is nothing between him and Wil
son or Harvey or Watteraon or anyone
also in this matter. - ,
Of tha Ryan Incident ha says! ;
"- I wa met on my arrival in New
.York by a most urgent appeal for money
from a gentleman of distinction, closely
associated with, If not actually direct
ing, tha Wilson organisation, and 'in
Answer to this I was able at once to
"fteour considerable money. The meet
ing at the Manhattan club was designed
still further to push forward and per
fect tha work of organisation. Else
why and for what .was tha governor
;.' there T .v;.-" ... f .
To confuse and mislead the public
be has latterly adopted a policy of al
ternate atldnca and sneering. , Giving
the He direct to my statement that I
- waa asked to help tha financial end of
hla campaign and -declining my offer
to submit the proof of its truth to a
body of gentlemen and Democrats
equally concerned with ourselves for the
Well -beln a- tbe- par4 jr-be- thin
- cloud the Issue and, escape its menace
; by turning upon the Irresponsible chat-
ter of a. literary bureau which clalma to
live off the Immaculate contribution
of aubscribers having wlnga, harps and
. halos. and which has been for weeks
flooding the country with every manner
of falsification. (
Concluding, the colonel saya:
"Within a single year Governor Wil
ton's radical change of base, his re
alignments, his readjustments, personal
. and political, his offenses to some and
. apologies to others, have been exactly
concurrent with his selfish aims. There
seems no abasement into which he la not
able to descend with equal facility, and
grace. Hay God protect Democracy
from such a leader and such leadership.
"The niche vacated by Governor Wil
son X shall not undertake to fill. I
hold nothing IB reserve, am backing no
other aspirant, advancing no other In
terest. I shall go to my winter home
" In Florida, beyond the reach even of the
telegraph, aure that in this matter I
have done my duty alike to publio obli-
gatlons and private friendships and hav
ing not a care beside." .
