Question Arises

Whether Watson has done anything
to discourage the appointment of New
is a question. Some Of News friends
insist he has. New does not give ear
to any such statements, as he has only
issued one edict. that none Of his
friends should go to President Hard
ing seeking an appointment for him.
Incidentally, New knows fairly well
that Watson could not hurt him much
with the President. "a New and Hard
ing are too close political and personal
friends
That Watson has not gone to the
White House In News behalf recent
~ is certain however. He has been
to the White House and he has con
ferred with the President. Questioned
as TO whether he had anything to say
in behalf Of Senator New, hts reply
has been that he did,not discuss the
