WATSON QUITS
RACE TO AVERT STRIFE
Gov. Goodrich Desires Indiana
Support, But Delegates Likely to
Go Uninstructed.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. December 20
Especially In spite of the gossip that
Senator James L Watson's statement
at Washington, in which he announced
he was not a candidate for the pres
idential nomination, will really have
no effect on the situation, there is Il
belief among political observers that
the activities i'll this state of those who
have been boosting him for the NOM
ination have ended.
The understanding is that Watson got
out of the race because that was the
only way in which to avoid strife with
in the party. 1t had been understood
for several months that Gov. Good
rich desired the support of the state in
the presidential race. The situation,
therefore. was fast coming to be a con-
test between those who desired Good
rich and those who desired Watson.
Those who had been working for
party harmony and succeSS for the last
three or four years. did not act until
it became known that Watson was to
open headquarters in Indianapolis, and
that his friends were going to wage 4
campaign in every county in the state
1t was seen that the party enmities
that were about to be engendered would
endanger party success and, naturally.
would affect Watson's chances for re-
nomination to the Senate.
1t is probable that Indiana will not
send a Goodrich delegation to the na-
tional convention. The understanding
now seems to be that the delegation
will be uninstructed, and that ii will
be delegation that will Cooperate with
Chairman Hays and other leading re-
publicans. who are not backing any par
ticular candidate, but who are looking
mainly to party success.

Small Democrat Majority in Ninth

RALEIGH, \. c.. December 20 (Spe-
ciaD.-The ninth district of North
Carolina retains its democratic con-
gressman, but Clyde r. Hoey's ma
jority was SO reduced that the re-
publicans are euthused. The league
of nations was made an issue, Hoey
being for it. Morehead, the repub-
lican candidate, was against the
league. but made no parade of his
opposition. i.
State labor leaders say that the
labor vote went for Hoey. The farm
ers generally also voted the demo-
cratic ticket.
1t was significant that towns giving
Morehead majority are cotton mill
centers. Morehead is cotton mill
owner.
Returned soldiers, particularly the
enlisted men. are reported as indif-

MOST REPRESENTATIVES
IN KANSAS MAY RETURN
Possibly Six of the Eight Will Be
Renominated and Re-
Elected,

TOPEKA. Kan, December 20 (Spe-
cial) From present indications four.
probably five and possibly six of the
cress will be renominated and reelected
without serious opposition in 1920. Sem
ator Charles Curtis, who is up for re-
election in the coming campaign. is
without opposition for the republican
denomination and probably will not
have an opponent at the primaries.
Primary fights for congressional
nominations ut present are assured in
only two districts. the first and the
eighth. Representative Dan Anthony.

The other assured primary fight is
in the eighth district. where half a
dozen republican candidates want to
make the race against William 7. Ayres
a Wichita, democrat: State Senator
Lacy NJ. Simpson of Mcpherson, and
three Wichitans, Rev. A. NJ. Brodie. W.
l.. Stanley. jr., and Judge Richard f..
Bird, regarded as leading the field of
republican aspirants.
Expectations of Landslide.
Representative Ayres has had a
strong non-partisan support in three
elections. He will have no opposi-
ton in his own party. Expectations
of an overwhelming republican land
slide in the state this year have en-
to believe that even the personal non
ularity of Ayres VIII not save him
this time.
Representative Phil Campbell of

HARDING ANNOUNCEMENT
NOT A SURPRISE IN OHIO
Party Associates Concede His Right
to Try for Presidency With
ont Renouncing Senatorship.

COLUMBUS. Ohio, December 90
Especially SO generally was it dis<
counted that the formal announce
ment by Senate Harding of his candi-
dacy for the nomination of the party
for the presidency cannot be said to
have altered conditions in the state
at all.
1t is generally recognized that the
senator was forced to take this step
10 preserve whatever chances he had
for preferment at the hands of the
coming national convention. The bulk
of his party in the state understands
this, and approved his course. They
believe he has right to try out for
the larger stakes in the political
game without renouncing the senator
ship nomination.
They feel that he ought to have
the privilege of making the most OF
his chance. with the cordial and hearty
support of his party organization. 1t
is likely, as conditions now. stand in
Ohio. that the state will send prac-
tically solid Harding delegation to the
Chicago convention-perhaps an abso
lutely solid one. j. II. GALBRAITH.
