INDIANA SENATOR SOUNDS KEYNOTE FOR REPUBLICAN
 CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN
Associated Press)

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 24.-
 Efficient and wise management oi
 the nations affairs, both domestic
 and international, and substantial re-
 suits in relieving "the evils of eight years of democratic misrule" were
 claimed of the Harding administra-
 ton in an address here today by
 Senator Watson, republican, Indiana, before the Indiana republican state convention.
 For years, it has been the custom of Indiana republicans to have the keynote of the national campaigns sounded before them, and Senator Watson's speech which was discussed in advance with President Harding, will be incorporated in the party lit erature for the congressional cam paign this fall
 Senator Watson praised the execu- tive, legislative and diplomatic record of the present administration and flayed the recent democratic adninis- trations as debt-incurring, deficit creating, bond-issuing, surplus-catter- ing, factory-closing industry-paralyz- ing, prosperity-destroying, social-up- heaving and cataclysm-producing."
 "We are not responsible for all this waste" he declared. "We did not produce all this wreckage. We did not incur these debts. We have not piled up this mountain of obligations, and these gentlemen who are re- sponsible for all this riotous orgy of extravaganza and all this upsetting of industry and unsettling of finan- cial conditions, now stand and jeer at us because in IA months we have not overcome all the evil they pro duced in eight years"
 "We have not yet accomplished all that we have set out to do,' he con- tinued. "We have not cured all the ills and corrected all the mistakes and overcome all the evils of eight years of democratic misrule, but cer- tainly we have taken long strides in the right direction and assuredly if the Republican party cannot adjust matters, what hope is there in turn ing to the organization that caused all the disaster in the beginning?"
 Reduction of taxes and appropria- tions, reorganization of the shipping board, agricultural relief, the tariff bill and diplomacy of the present ad- were emphasized by | Senator Watson.
 This administration does not need an apologist,H said Watson. No ad- ever before came into power confronted with such problems of such comp1exity and difficulty as these which were inherited by Presi- dent Harding and the republican con gress.

We do not intend to get into this confused tumble of European animosities. This attitude of the administration meets with the hearty approval of everybody except lnternationalists of a most extreme type"
 In domestic affairs, Senator Wat son said the Harding administration tood for full freedom in business md a recognition of the larger right of the individual to control and ope- ate hir own business affairs"

This compares with per cent, the level fixed under the transportation act for the period expiring March 1.
 Railroads are required to signify before May 31 whether they would voluntarily make new schedules or require the commission to issue its formal and detailed order for the a1- terations.
 On the statement of the commits sion that rail freight revenues in 1921 approximated $4,OOO,OOOOOO, to- days decision will reduce the na- tional freight bill by $4OO,OOO,OOO per year.
 As stated in technical language to the roads the commission said that after July it would hold unreason- able rates, including more than the following percentages of increases over the rates in effect immediately prior to August, 1920, and set up the territorial schedules as follows:
 Tn the southern and Mountain Pacific group, 12.5 per cent instead of 25 per cent so authorized.'
