Praises Own Record

Praises wnRecOrd
THE Senator says that he did not
lose one vote in Indiana because of
his Newberry vote. lie has not yet
come before the electorate of that
State. He went before the Republic,
ans of that State and won a great
victory. and he did it not by praising
the work of this Administrations; he
did it by praisinG his own record,
stunning the Administration mis-
deeds and eloquently portraytng his
separation from it on numerous oc-
casions. But what other Senators
over there will rise now and say that
they are not sorry they did not cast
a. vote against Newberry? And the
Senator will have a hard time en-
planning othe voters of Indiana
following this speech, and convincing
the mthat he was right when he
voted for this kind of a resolution,
which l am going to embody in to-
DAYS speech at this time:
Resolved (2), That Truman H.
Newberry is hereby declared to be
duly elected Senator from the State
of Michigan for the term of six
years-and so forth.
THAT whether the amount ex-
pended in this primary was $4,000,
as was fully reported or openly
acknowledged, or whether there
we're some few thousand dollars in
excess. the amount expended was,
in either case, too large-much
larger than ought to have been ex-
pended.
1.-The expenditure of such ex-
cessive sums in behalf of a candi-
date, either with or without his
knowledge and consent, being con-
trary to sound public policy, harm
full to the honor and dignity of the
Senate and dangerous to the per-
petuity of a free government, such
excessive expenditures are hereby
severely condemned and disap-
proved. "
Price-F'ixing Bill
Harrison then challenged Watson
with being for a price fixing bill"
for the relief of agriculture. Wat
son denied that the midwest farm
bill was a 'price-fixing measure"
Watson was not in the chamber
when Harrison accused him Of
shifting sails and DESERVING the
President to save himself" but came
stalking in few minutes later. He
did not reply, however, when Harri-
son, later, told how he had earlier
accused him of "deserting Cal and
Andy and shifting to Charlie"
Harrison's remarks on Watson as
a political opportunists before Wat
son came in follow:
And about the only Republican
Senator who has been able to
squeeze through for renomination
was the distinguished Senato nom
Indiana. But that feat was not ac-
complished BY clinging to Cal and
standing by Andy.
Clings to Charlie
"He saw that that was a little
dangerous, ana so he began to I'M
loose his hold upon Cal and Andy,
and now clings to- Charlie. 1t does
not take him>>long to get new
leader: and there is no man in this
body or in public life who is quicker
to see or keener at analyzing a po-
liucal situation than is the distin.
guished senior Senator from Indiana.
"He discerns quickly how the wind
is blowing. He catches its breezes
before the rest of you can. He saw
this thing coming and so he Just
shifted his sails little bit. and he
let Andy and Cal go and hoisted tho
Wee President as his new economic
leader. 1 do not know which one
is the others candidate for Presi-
dent. 1t may be that they will just
swap around. and whichever one is
dominated for President, the other
one will molestly take the. vice
presidential nomination; but he is the
only one to squeeze through, and he
did not get the nomination on an
Administration platform.
