INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, September
22.-Hopes entertained by the friends
of Senator James E. Watson that he
could obtain the Endorsement of all
of the Indiana political leaders In fur
thering his presidential aspirations
received a setback this week when
Harry S. New, Postmaster General,
arrived here and announced that he
will support President Coolidge If
the latter is a candidate for renom-
ination.
Although News adherence to the
Coolidge cause did not come as a sur
prise. 1t disappointed Watson's
friends, who had hoped that they
might at least have persuaded the
Postmaster General to adopt a
''hands-off" policy. New is still a
powerful political factor in Indiana.
despite his defeat for denomination
by Albert ]. Beveridge in the sena-
torial primary in 1922. and IL he so
elects he can make things uncomfort-
able for Senator Watson in any at
tempt to bind the Hoosier delegation
to the next republican national con-
vention.
Backs Coolidge.
There is no doubt whatever in my
mind but that Mr. Coolidge will be.
as he very righteously should be. the
nominee of the party in 1924" said
the Postmaster General. THAT seems
to have been taken by unanimous
consent and approval"
That is all New would say on the
political situation, but TO those ac-
quainted with his affairs in Indiana
1T told the whole story of the long
feud between the Postmaster General
and Watson. dating back to the time
New defeated Watson in a memorable
campaign for the senatorial nomina-
tion in 1916. 1t means that New will
never subscribe to the Watsoniar
presidential ambition.

what men here on state capitol busi-
ness have to say, that satisfaction
with the Preslden is growing among
the rank and file OF the republicans
of Pennsylvania and that prospects OF
an increase of price of anthracite
have dimmed qualification at the
governors success in putting opera
tors and miners to a truce for two
years. On the other hand there is no
question but what the governor mas
vigorous manner in which he went
about reorganization of the state
government and by forecasts of a
legislative program for 1925. which
would include means to supervise
coal mining and distribution book
keeping, ballot reforms and other
things. The very fact there is a
popular interest in his capitol hill
plans might handicap him in entering
presidential race.
ConI Action Has Weight.
Another factor which may weigh
with the governor is the manner In
which governors of other states take
creased cost of anthracite being
passed on to consumers. Already
several governors have come back at
his proposals for joint action with the
suggestion that Pennsylvania repeal
the anthracite tonnage tax.
Over against all these matters are
urgings from people in various states
to become a candidate and the offers
of support from various groups in
Pennsylvania who are eager to have
Mr.. Pinchot ask for the delegation
from his own state. Certain of these
people would also like to be in the
delegation.
One of the noticeable features OF
the primary elections from demo-
cratic standpoint was that Judge
Erpepe q Ronniwell who will be a
candidate for the democratic national
committee. got the highest vote for
the municipal court in Philadelphia,
being on both republican and demo-
cratic tickets. The democratic situa-
ton, however, has been lost sight of
in the speculation as to presidential
possibilities.

MANCHESTER, N. H, September 22
Prominent republicans in New
Hampshire are criticizing United
States Senator George H. Moses for
hopping from his advocacy of Hi
ram Johnson of California as the
logical choice for the Republican, nom
nation for President in 1924 to the
standard of Calvin Coolidge.
denry ID. Metcalf of Concord in a
letter to the editor of the Concord
monitor Patriot asks Senator Moses
for an explanation. To quote Mr..
Metcalfs letter, "a good many people
would like to know the explanation
or Senator Moses right-about-face.
1t has been contended by some of his
friends that he is a man of firm con-
victions and stands by them, regard

duct, however. does not seem toNsus-

He may. like Saul of Tarsus, sud-

his recent political genufiections.v
In the democratic party ranks of
New Hampshire, leaders are watch

six candidates seeking the honor and
the strong labor vote, upon which the
democrats count, may be split
throughout the state, as a result of
the battle in Manchester.

U.S.TO MEASURE.
SALT CONTENT
Of SEAS
Amount Carried by Various
Currents to Be Found BY
New Apparatus.
By Cosmopolitan News Service.


How much salt is there in the
ocean? How does saltiness affect
ocean currents?
The United States Coast. Guard
cutters assigned to the interna-
tional ice patrol, according to a re.
port of the United States Bureau of
Standards, will survey the varia-
tons in the salt content of different
parts of the North Atlantic.
"It is expected" says the report,
that the information so gained will
result in more accurate knowledge
of the paths taken by ocean cur
rents, as different currents usually
differ appreciably in the amount of
salt they contain.
Thus, the Gulf Stream, which has
been exposed to the hot sun of the
tropics, will have lost much water
by evaporation and will be saltier
than the Labrador current. fed by
the ice and SHOWS of Greenland.
THE problem of making such
measurment has been chiefly one of
developing a measuring apparatus
which will be sufficiently accurate
and reliable, and at the same time
easy TO operate, rugged, and d,,ranle.
THE apparatus which it Is pro
posed to use has been developed by
the Bureau of Standards. Prelimi-
nary trials indicate that 1t will
prove satisfactory"
