Faces Doughty Foemen.

The story goes. however that the
friends of Harry S. New, Postmaster
General, and Albert J. Beveridge are
out to accomplish Watson's defeat.
The Postmaster General has been here
twice in the last two weeks and
each time held long conferences with
his political friends. Beveridge is go
ing to take the stump for the Re-
publican State ticket and has book ed
himself for 13 speeches-one in each
district.
With Beveridge, who, it is said. has
not entirely dropped his senatorial
ambitions, and New, who also is said
to have eyes cast toward the Senate,
getting busy in Indiana political cir
cles, almost anything can be looked
for in two years. 1t is a situation
that is attracting a good deal of
attention in Indiana despite the fact
that the State is in the throes of
vigorous campaign. The present
campaign. it is indicated, Is merely
the setting for what may come later.

Out to Defeat Senator

Special Dispatch to The Star.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. September
21.-Back of the scenes in the Re-
publican campaign in Indiana today
many profess to see stage setting
for a vigorous contest for the United
States senatorship nomination in 1926.
Senator James +. Watson, with his
presidential aspira tions vanished and
his vice presidential candidacy
thrown in the discard by the Cleve-
land convention. is looked on as a
candidate for denomination in two
years. But already factional mutter-
ings are heard against him, as is not
unusual to Indiana
That the Senator realizes he faces
a warm fight is indicated by the fact
that he is devoting SO much time to
Indiana affairs. He has scheduled d
himself for so speeches in this State
in order to help the Coolidge and
Dawes national ticket and the State
candidates, from Ed Jackson, nomi-
nee for governor, on down. If the
Republicans are successful Watson's
friends believe the candidates will n not
forget his services,

IL NEW YORK COTTON
NEWt tORLEANs COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 6.-The short session in cotton today did not pro- duce any great price changes. Old crop values sagged, while the new crop was comparatively strong. Liquida- tion was against the, old crop months, while the new crops were bought be- cause of the abnorma1ly cold weather over the belt. Irregularity resulted from this combination and the close was 23. points down to 8 points up, compared with the close of yesterday. The last saleof March was at 33.S7c and of October at 7.s1c. Early easi- ness was due to selling orders carried over from the late trading of yester- day, and it produced; losses of 5 to 15 points. Cables, were better than due, but for a while offerings were too liberal for the ring to absorb. Better reports from the cotton goods mar kets stimulated enough buying to put prices to=1 points higher than the finals of yesterday but little later the old crops came under pressure again. New crop values were sustained by reports that Liverpool was buying october contracts on this side of the water, and in the late trading October was 1S points up and at ,27, ,96c. Old crops did not share in this improve ment.
 Just on the close, the whole list sagged under liquidation from the long side, although the new crop was much steadier than the old. At this stage the list fas 5-to 25 points under the Iast prices of yesterday, and at the lowest of the day. l-

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-The short ses- sion of two hours passed without any feature of note. The market opened a trifle under yesterdays close on easier Liverpool cables. The cables indicated that there was little outside business doing in their market. Abroad, the trade Is waiting anxiously to find out just what the new government intends to do. The volume of outside business in our market was extremely small and 1t narrowed down to a local affair al the end of the first hour.
 We would not be surprised to see the market ease off in a small way. but we do not look flor any decline of consequence, but rather look forwa rd to an advance in view of the continued steady basis in the south and the de- mand for spot cottoE. l
