down since the days when he
thought everything was cut and
dried for repUblicaniSm. and that
any old thing, spat upon the pub
lie by the viperOus tongue OF re
publican senator, would go.
He didn't tell US. as al the out
break OF the war, that "all Uncle
Sam could do in case OF conflict
would be to stand on the sea
shore and make faces at the kai-
ser" though in his criticisms OF
the war administration one might
assume that such was about all
that he did.
Neither did he assert. as he did
earlier in the campaign. that con-
gress never declared war on Ger
many; that the only declaration
of war was by the president-this,
though he left every assurance
that a republican congress under
a republican president would be
good and ready 10 declare a sep
arate peace with Germany.
His criticism Of the League Of
Nations. and promise of a sub
stitute." or something, was OF the

forth in the republican campaign
book. He talked about six votes

and of course called down the ap-
plause of his republican house.
Watson is an orator. drilled in
all tricks OF the profession. and
having no conscience 20 bind him

pounded easily responsive.
OF course, 1t IS not for us to
presume to answer Sen Watson.
Neither is Il necessary. Why not
let the local republican newspa-

WATSON TELLS
HOW HE HATES
PRES. WILSON
Speech at High School Given
Over to Bitter Attack on
Administration

With much Of his old-.ime ora
torical fire remaining. Sen. James
Eli Watson attempted TO bolster up
the republican party ard it's plat
form in an attack upon the Wilson
administration and the League OF
Nations, before 1900 men and wom-
en- ate the high school auditorium
last night.
Il was chairman of the committee
that framed the republican platform
and I wrote II. 50 of course 1 am
proud of il" the senator told his
hearers.
Watson's attack upon the Wilson
administration and the League of
Nations came soon after his intro
duct;on by Eli Seebirt chairman of
the meeting. The meeting was
opened with singing by a woman S
quartet brought from Huntington,
Ind, for the occasion. The singing
was followed by County Chairman
Fred c. Klein. who presented Mr..
Seebirt.
Wastcful and Incompetent.
The senator attempted 10 snow
that the administration had been
ZVasteful in the conduct Of the war,
attributing the waste 10 the incOm-
potency Of the president and the
mem bers OF the administration.
The greater part of Watson's S
speech dealt with the League. He
declared that the president was at
tempting TO place a super govern
ment over that of the United States
through the adoption by this coun-
try of the League covenant. He at
tempted 10 show that the president
has an ambition TO rule the world
as head of the super-government.
THE president thinks from the
throne down" he declared with one
OF his characteristically dramatic
gestures.
Watson Mixed.

covenant as dangerous 20 the peace
OF the nation IN one breath. and in
the next breath he declared that it
is without power. quoting a reputed
statement from Pres't Bourgeois 10
substantiate his last charge.
Tho senator attempted 10 picture
Prest Wilson as putty in the hands
of Lloyd George and Clemenceau at
the peace table. He attempted 10
play upon the patriotism or MS
hearers by declaring that Great
Britain had succeeded in using the
president of the United States as a
