Senator Watson Declares Politics
Is Behind Complaints.

Senator Watson or Indiana. in a
statement issued last night, charged
that the farmer Is being misled by
many persons, who attempt to twist
facts to meet political theories. His
statement was largely in reply to an
address made by Senator Underwood
of Alabama, democrat, in Birming-
ham, in which Mr.. Underwood said
that failureNto find an export market
was bringing the farmer disaster.
Il greatly fear" Senator Watson
said, that Senator Underwood has
been reading democratic literature in
stead of reports of the Department
of Agriculture and the Department
of Commerce, which give the official
and correct figures"
Reports by various governme ent t
agencies, which have investigated
agricultural conditions, particularly
with relation to foreign markets, the
Indiana senator continued. make it
apparent that whatever the condi-
tions in Europe, at least they have
not lost the American farmer his for
eign markets compared with what he
sold in normal times prior to the
