likely to happen should the deals, the secret bar
gains the OF patronage the coercion the threats
of political destruction, happen to win for Watson
the denomination
1t is inconceivable that the people of Indiana
will permit his return to the senate, even
should his domination of the organization o. that
party and apathy in the primaries permit him to
gain the nomination.
The political record OF Watson interests, only
the members of his own party, a record of double
dealing with other leaders, of betrayal IN crises, Of
manipulation, bargains for votes.
In every election in which he has been a candi-
date large numbers of Republicans have refused to
vote for him. He has always been far behind some
national leader on whose popularity he has ridden
into power; always since the day he exposed by
, committee of Congress as lobbyist and branded
for improper of his prestige
This year he has national leader to distract
attention from himself and his record.
This year he will not be able to dodge the
cusing record of the Mulhall investigation
This year he will not be able to make the voters
forget his activities in 1922 and other years
This year he will not be able to point to Hard
ing or a Hughes and appeal in their name for leni
ency.
This year he cannot even invoke the name of
Coolidge, for his has been record of support
ing the President"
At last If he be named, he must run upon his
own record.
He has made bargains and deals for the primary
vote and those deals would arise to rebuke and
defeat him.
For it is hardly belevable that the people of this
State are ready to turn over the Government to
machine bosses cities and remote leaders of secret
organization for the poor privilege of having Wat
In office.
Those with whom he is dealing are not inspiring
or admirable
The bargain for votes in this city for example
is with those who are fighting to defeat VIII Remy
honest and courageous prosecutor.
The elements to be delivered to him are those
who resent law and honesty and integrity
Every bargain he has made every deal he has
engineered, has been against public interest
1t might seem that those who aspire to candidacy
on the local Republican ticket will find No. 10
peculiarly prophetic.
Is there any candidate for an office in Marion
County who believes that his own chances for cleo
ton Will be increased by the presence of Senator
Watson upon his ticket?
Is there any Democratic candidate who is not
counting largely for success on the hope that Wat
will the attention of the voters to such
an extent that his mediocrity or worse may be
forgotten?
The and women OF this State who care
nothlng ABOUT poItcaf parties and great deal about
decency, and real Americanism, are hoping that the
Republican voters will read the warnings, so plain
as to be unmistakable and rescue their party from
certain disaster and the Nation from a possible
threat.
Nothing to surprise a real fisherman more
than catching a fish.
April showers bring May bills for having rugs
cleaned.
Dressing sensbly makes a girl look so conspicuous
Look and see II you have enough gas to get back
on unless you taking good looking girl along.
The spring fashion warning seems to be. Don't
count your clothes before they match"
Now comes the season when e man who gets mad
at his wife can so to the ball park and yell at the
umpire.
The real reason many looks down his
wife Is because she was silly enough to marry him.
