Republicans to Cooperate in
 Congress, Watson Says

Washington. Nov. 1Q iP' -- The democratic pledge that the party's increased representation in the next congress would not be used to cm- barrass and obstruct the adminis- traitor has been accepted by the re- pubHcans as made in good faith.
 The republican senate leaders, James l.. Watson of Indiana, last night said in a statement through the partys national committee that the utterance of seven democratic leaders made right after election was construed as all effort to halt any business alarm and that f should carry conviction. The repub- ucau party, he said, accepted 1t with un faith and credit"
 Party Will Cooperate
 Tt gives assurance he said, that there will be no attempt on the part of the democratic party to support disturbing legislation. It is obviously the duty Of republican members to cooperate"
 Because Of the fuulity of at tempting immediately to solve the question of control in the next con- cress in view Of the close balance Of republican and democratic forces, the leaders ase concentrating now on lining up their program for the approaching short session or the old congress.

 The major changes Of the election will be felt one year hence. In spite of the concIliatory attitude express eI by the I.aIers Of both parties there vas no assurance that all of the rank and file would seek to avoid trouble There has been no open revolt against the democratic statement. which was signed by three Of the party's presidential candidates, two executives Of the na- uoual committee and the two lead ITS in congress. but signs have ap- Doarod that some members were none too pleased.
 Senator Watson, in accepting the democratic statement did not over look entirely inc administration criticism which it contained.
 "I could. Of course" le said, "iu- duIgc in criticism at the obvious po- htich propaganda which accom- panies their public assurance and I ! could rccrimiuafe as 10 the past. but this is not the spirit in which I desire to accept their offer of CO., operation.
 Victory for Neither Party
