the mann in which the senator's people in Indiana" so "elorouly vim

in a Poters field; lot here o. in Washington to O the Watson history
Maybe it will help a lot of people to understand the senator gloatng
over MuIhaIrs paupenzed demse-but of course that is nOt the case. All
that ans the senator to make him worry is the job that he has before him,
behind him. and in him.
AS the story goes, he moves about the senate chamber quietly usually
face
He sits in his chair with al distracted look upon his face. apparently
paying little attention to his duty of being tn special whip n the peace treaty
considerations
When o the street, or o the street cars he rarely is found in the good
humor which was oncec characteristic of him.
Watson has found his task in the senate extremely difficult. He has tried
to Jolly the dscordant elements into line but the last dichers,' who are de-
termined to defeat the treaty encouraged by the many earlier speeches of
Sen. Lodge and the voting opposition to the treaty of Sen: Penrose. refuse to
be jolhed.
When Lodge turned the task of welding the machine over to Watson.
lodge knew his opportunity for successful leadership had passed in so far as
getting the votes up was concerned.
And now Watson finds he is having similar troubles Why not let it pass
at that? OF course the senator has nothing else to worry him.
