WATSON MAY BE SENATE LEADER
Indianan Is Logical Successor
 to Curtis Job

Washington. Nov. eS RtThe possibility appeared today that sen- ator Watson. of Indiana. might be- come republican leader of the sen- ate at this session through the na- tural process Of succession.
 As assistant leader. it was ex- plained that the Indiana senator would become leader in the event Senator Curtis, of Kansas. the pres ent party pilot and the vice-presi- dent-elect. relinquished his leader ship duties any time during this concluding session of the old con- gress.
 It also is believed by some Of Senator V'atson's friends that this would give him distinct advantage when the republicans of the next congress meet to select q successor to Senator Curtis. There are some who believe that Senator Curtis. weary from the strain of the vice presidential campaign. may relir- quish in part the leadership duties during this session to Senator Wat son.
 May Not Resign
 But the Kansas senator has not indicated whether or not he will ac- tually resign his seat. He has iE- timated he will reach decisicn about January l. Kansas inaugur- ates . new governor soon after the first of the year. The senator is very friendly to the present gover- nor of Kansas. and. the governor would name his successor.
 If Curtis should resign his seat, then 1t appears likely that a repnb- lican conference would be called to name his successor as party leader at this session. But if he merely gives up the leadership. Senator Watson would succeed him.
 Several names still seem to be un- der consideration for a successor t' Mir. Curtis. Senator Jones ol

 The incoming Executive Council was authorized to consider advisab- ility of establishing . national labor college after an acrimonious debate in convention yesterday over the cur ricula and conduct at Brookwood Labor college. katonah. N. Y.
 Defend Council
 During the controversy, President Green and Matthew Woll. the later high in labor councils. came to the defense of the executive council who proposed creation of a national labor college and charged Brookwood col lege with conlmunistic teachings.
 The federation's executive council, President Green declared. had advis- ed withdrawal of the financial sup port of organized labor from that school.
 In a statement issued after the the debate, A. J. Muste, dean o1 Brookwood, said that ''as an educa. tional institution we have repeatedly and openly stated that we do not undertake to present views o' theories of any group or action ol the labor movement without analysis or discussion. We do explain the policies and views of the American Federation of Labor and of othel parts of the labor movement ir America and throughout the world. He added that the school seeks ts teach the students how to think. no what to think" He charged tha some of the statements made abou Brookwood were based on thu statements of a few disgruntlet former students"

Of next i'm portance. then. is how to treat it when it comes. Dr. Caldwell always was in favor of getting as close to nature as possible hence his remedy for constipation. known as Dr, Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a mild vegetable compound. It can not harm the most delicate system and is not a habit forming preparation. Syrup Pepsin is pleasant tasting. and youngsters love it. It does not gripe. Thousands of mothers have written us to that effect.

In a practice of ~ years he never saw any reason for their use when a medicine like Syrup Peps!n will empty the bowels just as promptly. more cleanly and gently, without gripping and harm to the system.
 Keep free from constipation! It robs your strength, hardens your arteries and brings on premature old age. Do not let a day go by without bowel movement. Do not sit and hope, but go to a druggist and get one of the generous bottles of Syrup Pepsin. Take the proper dose that night and by morning you will feel like different person.

tied down in WesternpOrt, learned the carpenters trade, and at the age of 22 married. His first wife during the years of their marriage. bore him 21 children. Where these children are now he does not know. The old est. he says, IS nearly 90 years old, and the youngest-by his second wne -is IS.
 He was 45 when the Civil War broke out. He enlisted in the Union army and served throughout the struggle. His most vivid recollection centers about July I, and 3. 1863, when his regiment took an active part in the battle of Gettysburg. General George Meade. who com- manded the Union army in that en- gagement. is his greatest hero. He admits that Robert E. Lee was a capable general, but says only. "he had to be, to keep up with Meade"
 Marries Girl of IT
 After the war Tranum returned to Westernport and resumed his old occupation. Half a century ago his wife died, and few years later he married again-this time a girl of IT. Despite the disparity in their ages-he was over 70 at the time they made happy marriage. His wife, who is still living. bore him 12 children. He and she and three un- married daughters make their home together here.
 Tranum's pet aversion is the auto mobile. He has ridden in one only once, and he refuses to have any thing to do with them. He prefers to walk, and says that he could walk much farther and faster if the auto- mobiles didn't clutter up the roads so badly
 'I'm just waiting for the Lord to transplant me to another and bet ter country" he says. But he is com- fortable and happy in his extreme old age, and he will not believe that this Thanksgiving can possibly be his last.
