URGES BORING WITHIN
BY G.. A. Randau

Itme9 SEGTT COFfeSDOnuenG
WASHINGTON, July 16.-Polit-
ical observers were shocked today
! over the pronouncement of Senator
James F. Watson Wednesday in
which he declared the vets could
win if they bored within the Re
publican and Democratic parties.
Prohibition cannot be taken out
Of politics and, like the tariff, it is
in to stay" he said.
Bid for VETS
His statement would have occa-
stoned less astonishment if he were
not facing election next year.
His tip to the vets to conduct the
same strategy as the anti-saloon
league did in years gone by is re-
garded as a bid for the wet vote.
Washington didn't know that In
diana had big wet vote and would
have better understood the Senator's
story if he hailed from Maryland,
New York or New Jersey.
Hot Weather Story
Senator Watson said today no i'm
portance is to be attached to Wednes-
days statement. He said it was a
hot weather story to give the news
paper men something to talk about.
When the Senator gave vent to
his feeling on the question of taking
politics out of prohibition, however,
he ment what he said He isn't
one bit pleased with Gen. Lincoln
Andrews di5inclination to talk pro-
hibition personnel. Watson has
some ideas both on men and dis
tr1cts, but hasn't gotten anywhere
with them. He thinks Indiana ought
to be a unit in itself, but if not
separate unit, certainly not a part
of a unit with Detroit as headquar-
ters. Cincinnati, Chicago or Louis
vile are all regarded as more logical
If headquarters are to be outside the
State.
Peru Man Hopeful
Among the recent candidates who
are out for the chief prohibition Of
flee in Indiana is Col Hiram Bearss
whose ambitions were stirred when
he read that General Andrews would
probably favor Army officers.
Colonel .Bearss was, commander of
the Fifth Regiment Of Marines dur
ing the World War and was known
as Hiking Hiram" He was dec
prated by practically all of the allied
countries for valor
Meanwhile, Bert Morgan, prohi-
bition director for Indiana, is in
town. He slipped quietly in on
Wednesday and spent the day in
conferences with Prohibition Direc-
tor Roy Haynes and saw General An
drews, the actual boss. What Nor
gan learned could not be deter
mined. He is quite a favorie with
Haynes and the Anti-Saloon League
forces. Morgan did not go near
Watson's office. If Morgan should
be retained, it will be real defeat
for the Hooosier solon.
