HENRY WATTERSON (1840-1921), American journalist ( see 28.418), was among the first to urge, in 1911, the nomination of Governor Woodrow Wilson as Democratic candidate for president. In Aug. 1918 he retired from active editorship of the Louisville (Ky.) Courier-Journal, remaining "editor emeritus." On March 2 1919 a special edition of this paper was published, containing tributes from his admirers throughout the world.

In April he severed all connexion with the paper because of its support of the League of Nations which he opposed. He died at Jacksonville, Fla., Dec. 22 1921. He was the author of Old London Town (1910); History of the Manhattan Club (1915) and "Marse Henry": an Autobiography (1919).
