Plans Fight Updike has said, however, that if Bryson’s name is sent to the Senate by Coolidge for reappointment, upon recommendation of Postmaster General New, who is openly for Bryson, that he (Updike) would ask one of the Indiana Senators to object to confirmation, and would also carry the battle to the floor of the House. Senator Watson comes from Rushvfile and Senator Robinson from Indianapolis. Therefore the logical' choice to make the objection would be Robinson. Updike or New? If he does object, he will lay down a gauntlet to New, a power in Indiana Republican politics, and now the highest-ranking Indianlan in Republican circles at Washington. If he doesn’t, he will offend Updike’s friends, and will lay himself open
