WATSON PRAISES
HARDING REGIME
IN INITIAL SPEECH
Stresses Aid Given Farmer by
Legislative Acts, in Green
field Address.

GREENFIELD, Ind, Sept. 81
(By A. P.)-James z. Watson. in
his initial speech of the republican
campaign in Indiana here tonight,
praised the legislative accomplish
ments Of the present administra-
ton, laying particular stress upon
those acts which he declared had
brought about relief for the farmer
During the period of defation,
Immediately after the war. and
which still continues. the senator
said agriculture was the first ito
feel its full effect. Two factors
largely contributed to this disaster,
he said. First the large increase in
imports OF agriculture products free
Of duty under the Underwood tariff,
and second. the paralyzed restriction
Of credit imposed upon farming and
livestock interests for the purpose Of
reducing the high cost of living.
In order TO cope with this situa-
ton. the republican congress inme :
diately passed an emergency tariff
bill on agricultural products
brought into this country. This was
done, he said, over strong opposition
from the democrats.
Defends Tariff Bill.
Continuing. the senator said:
Il assert without fear of success
full contradiction and 1 can prove
to the satisfaction of any impartia
-.
tariff actually saved the wool and
sheep industries from utter destruc-
ton; that It greatly aided the dairy
industry OF the country and that it
was Of tremendous importance TO all
other products included in its pro-
visions.
In order further TO aid the Ameri-
can farmer in his distress, congress
was designed solely for the purpose
ton and provided it with a million
dollar revolving fund 10 enable the
farmers Of the country 10 carry their
| grain and then 10 market IL under
| the most favorable conditions. This
| last act was and stiI is Of inestima-
bic value 20 the farmer ard these
/ two provisions have very largely
saved the agricultural interests OF
the United States from complete col
| lapse"
Turning 10 the Fordney -MoCum-
I Der tariff bill, Sen. Watson said the
United States was among the last OF
the civilized nations 10 pass a pro-
! tective tariff law and acded that the
rates under the Fordney law are nc
! higher than those provided by the
Underwood law except as TO agri-
/ cultural products and that the Law

Constantine twice occupied the
throne OF Greece. His first reign be-
gan March Il. 1913. with the assas-
sinstion OF his father. George I. and
continued until June. 1917. when he
was forced by the demands OF Great

pathies.
He was succeeded ~ his second
son, Alexander. who was nominated

and while the allied governments
continued 10 exert every pressure
az their command 20 prevent his re-
ascension, the former king marched
triumphantly into Athens and was
