WATSON SMOKED OUT OF OSCE FOR 1924 PRESIDENCY Indiana Senator Starts Harding Boom and Retires to Ranl^s. By JOHN CARSON Time* Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.—lt was “Jim” Watson in the Senate. The Watson presidential bee came home to hive and found Senator Harrison of Mississippi, smoking him out and teasing him for the enjoyment of Republican Senators and packed galleries. Watson smiled but it was not the smile of pleasure. Before the day was ended. Senator '‘Jim” had nominated President Harding, disavowed his presidential aspirations thereby, praised Republican Senate leaders and retired himself to the ranks. Fun started when Harrison referred to newspaper stories that Senator Lodge, Republican floor leader had named Senators \Vadsw r orth and Lenroot as assistants, Wadsworth as a conservative, and Lenroot as a progressive. It is well known in the Senate that Watson would not deny himself the place of leader, if it were offered to him. “But I want also to commiserate some of my friends over here.” said Harrison after he had praised the selection of Lenroot and Wadsworth.

Turns to Watson "There is the Senator from Indiana, my friend Mr. Watson, who goes to the White House every day to get the views of the President and to speak them later on the floor here.” Harrison told how Washington newspapers on Sunday had carried a story from Indiana setting forth Watson’s presidential ambitions In one column and lr\ another column told how President Harding was piqued by the suggestion of competition for the presidential nomination. Watsop'a face got very red. He smiled with embarrassment and nervously played with his hands. Senator Lodge went to him, took a sea* and talked to him constantly. Lodge was comforting him. “I am afraid 'hey are putting something over on continued Harrison. He referred to the presidential aspirations of.-. Watson and Senator Capper of Kansas. Harding on Job. "Evidently President Harding is not going to be Coueied out of the race. They didr> t want Senator Watson as assistant ,floor leader any longer because it n Ight gum the cards. Then they want \ conservative leader. They will not look to Senator Watson or Senator Curt s, but turn to Senator Wadsworth and Senator Lodge will tell him to go forward.” Senator Lodge praised Senator Watson and said he consulted him often. Watson praise l Republican leaders and referred to President Harding. He said if the .Republicans wanted him to run in 191 4 on the record they eould not afford to kill the party .leader during the time the record was made. His epeech ended. Watson turned around and went •to the rear of the chamber and resumed the shaking of hands.

R. C. Morgan Can Run High Wheel or House

_ "Vau4*V-

RAYMOND C. MORGAN Not so many of Indiana’s legislators, perhaps, would be able to recall the “good old days” when Raymond C. Morgan, Speaker of the House of Representatives, used to make his dally pilgrimages by the above means. There was a time when the “high wheel” was known as the “ordinary” bicycle. That Is now history. The questionable equilibrium of the “high wheel” placed i# in disrepute, so it was supplanted to a contraption with the smaller wheel in front, thus saving the rider’s head when things went wrong. Not until the advent of the “safety” bicycle was the rider’s poise secure. Morgan’s “high wheel” experiences, however, have not disturbed his poise as a parliamentarian and leader of Indiana's lower body.

He paid a fabulous sum to have his face read. Here Is what was told him: “Notice the egg-shaped head —being a Dumbbell and a little cracked, this shows that he Is a bad egg. Then please note the artistically chiseled nose—this also shows originality. U. Heava informs us that he never curses the ’Hello Girls' when he gets a wrong number.

The long hair expresses one of two things—he is creative and artistic or lacks the price of a hair cut. The ears show —very' plainly. The knitted eyebrows show that U.
