SENATOR WATSON PLOTS
TO SUCCEED LODGE
AS SENATE LEADER
Senator Watson Plots to Succeed
Lodge as Senate Leader.

Efforts to deprive Senator Lodge OF
his leadership of the Republican ma
iority are being seconed if not insplr-
ed by Senator Watson (Rep., lnd.),
has revealed q tesire to take com
mand.
At g meeting of Republican Sena-
tors in Senator WatGon's office few
DAYS ago there was q discussion and
a general admission of the lack or
cohesion in the ranks of the majority
in the Senate and a consensus that
a strong personality" was needed to
unite the factions and insure sup
port for President Harding's pro
gram" during the present sesslnon
of congress.
After all the testimony concerning
Senator Lodges failings and failures
had been heard by the half dozen Re-
publicans in the gathering, Senator
Gooding (kep., Iowa., suggested that
if Senator Watson wasn't exactly a
Moses he had some of the qualities
of Joshua, and should be selected
as Republican leader.
Senator Watson then reaclled his
achievements do Wlllp Va eAlS AAONN'I
back in the days of Cannonism and
left very plain inference that he
was the one man who could head the
Republican majority in the Senate.
Within a day or two. after Senator
Watson's party" Senator Lodge call
led a meeting of Republican Senators
and submitted what he described as
q progressive" program. He pratt
cally attempted to form Lodge
bloc to offset the group that had at
tended Watson's meeting. Then SEN
ator Lodge visited President Harding
as did Watson-to obtain appro-
val Of this progressive" program.
Senator CArtis (Rep., Kans.) who
regards himself as the logical and
Lawful successor Of Senator Lodge, If
q change in leadership is made by
the Senate Republicans, has been
angered by Senator Watson's attempt
to capture the place. Senator Cur
tbs is as much a favorite with the
eastern reactionames as either. Sena-
tor Lodge or Senator Watson, and
some Of these friends share his re-
sentiment at what they call move
to "double-cross" both Sss present
leader and his understands

they said. But there was little nov
city in the forlorn remnant of cans
upon the shelves, or in the half-empty
barrels and boxes under the counter
and massed in the corners of the room
One man found stray box of sar-
dimes, and took possession of it with
the remark that, while it was not
"Christmasy," he could have the sat
,isfaction of knowing he was eating
the only sardines in camp; another
drew out a can of Boston baked beans
from behind squadron Of tomatoes
while third, of more investigating
and determined turn of mind, hunted
among the boxes and barrels until he
actually discovered a can of Cape Cod
cranberries.
This brought the entire group Of
Christmas hunters into a compact,
envying circle; and while they were
anxiously debating the pro and con-
especially the con-of division Of
spoils, the door opened quietly and a
s.oop-shouldered, watery-eyed man en-
tered
"Have you got any toys?" he asked,
hesitatingly.
The storekeeper stared, and unani-
mously, as though by preconcerted ar
rangement, the group around the
canned representatives from Cape Cod
turned and stared also.
"Any-,what?" the storekeeper asked
blankly.
Toys" the man repeated looking at
the encircling faces with abashed en-
rrassment-'things to play with, I
mean, like children have at Christ
mas. You see," with "A curious
mingling of apology and pride in his
voice, "my little ten-year-old boy came
IN on the stage just now-clean from
his grandma's, back to Missouri. I've

good deal of satifaction and not a
little political capital from the strug-
gle to remove member of his Cabl-
net from his position.
The fight on Attorney General
Daugherty had its inspiration and
and receives its impetus wholly from
Republicans. The Democrats in Con-
gress, although they believe that
Daugherty's appointment and reten-
ton as Attorney General have prov
ed deplorable and detrimental, have
not undertaken to impeach him. They
are willing that the President shall
bear the responsibility for his At
toIney Generals acts and COMMISSIONS.
President Harding is pretty Ger
tain to exert his influence with Re-
publican reactionaries' in the House
and the Senate to defeat the attempt
at eliminating and humiliating Dau-
gherty. There is little likelihood that
Impeachment will be voted, but there
is every prospect that the efforts of
Daugherty's friends to prevent re-
cord vote will be made the subject
of a good deal of publicity.
It is. this Presidential interposition
in Daugherty's behalf that will in
flame a good many Republicans in
Congress and outside of it. Those
Republicans who already regard Dau-
gherty as heavy liability are in
dignant that he has given an ex-
cuse for impeachment and will be
very angry if he is "whitewashed'
as they feel he will be-by the
Republican House acting on the as
sumption if not upon the intination
that the administration would suffer
by this outcome.
If Daugherty is acquitted of the
charges which Republicans have pre-
ferred against him there doubtless
will be a strong belief that powerful
influences saved him. lf he is con-
victed, either after a formal trial on
in the court OF public opinion, he
will continue to be lightweight on
the Republican administration. Rep
blicans in Congress have SO thoroughly
discredited Mr.. /Harding's Attorney
General that hesis sure to furnish one
faction of his party with war cry
against the other and corroborate
Democratic charges that Mr.. Daugh-
erty begun his career in the Cabinet
as a political mistake which has
ainee become a public misfortune.

that students of the university had
burned Gov. Lee m. Russell in eff
figy. A flake" photograph accom-
panied the story.
The announcement by the student
body took the form of g resolution,
which was passed unanimously. In
the resolution university authorities
were requested by the students to
'stake the necessary action as pre-
scribed by the law for the redress
Of this unjust libel"
At the same time the student body
paid a neat compliment to repre-
sentatives of other newspapers who
are covering the Birkhead-Russen suit
here, by passage Of a vote of con-
fidence in these reporters. Several
Of the newspaper men made brief
speeches.
The resolution follows:
Whereas, there appeared in the
