"Oh, the Senator knows how much
respect his views generally" replied
Senator Watson in grand fashion.
BY this time johnson felt pretty sure
that Watson was trying to get facetious
at his expense. The next statement
assured him:
"1 NY distinguished friend from
California claims TO have a knowledge
Of the factS-and think he has" Wat
son added.
johnson, by this time q bit nettled,
turned to the chair.

my years have enabled me to say that
I have reached another stage entirely
where I believe cannot learn or con-
slider that know all about any subject,

But the Senator pursued Wat
son.
It was no use. Johnson was in no
mood for further praise.

the measurements which you will find
useful are lnegth Of dresses, night
gowns, and slips, length Of shoulder

IT'S Senator Watson's way. No one in
Bi1e Senate loves the beautiful gesture
lknore than he. No other employs it
more often. And the recipients OF his
praise don't mind It, Rather do they
enjoy his grand manner. It's hard to
believe any one could have any real OBJ
lection TO praise delivered in the Wat
Asonian style.
Just before the Seventy-first Congress
passed on, Senator Watson singled out
the short, robust, peppery Hiram john
son for little praise. 1t came up quite
by accident, and johnson apparently
thought that Watson was trying to kid
him" bit.
The Californian had risen to his feet

q Senate investigation of the oil indus

guch an investigation smacked Of an
other congressional junket.

Watson, "has full knowledge Of this
subject. No man in this body
knows more about 1t than he"
