WATSON’S HOPES FOR PRESIDENCY IN 1028 SOARING Pennsylvania Slap at Coolidge Encourages Jim— That Quiz Is Bother. By Roscoe B. Fleming Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. May 22.—‘'Our Jim for President! Wheel” Senator Watson of Indiana is beginning to keep his ear to the ground closely, listening for that long wolfhowl to come from the midwestern prairies before 1928. He is listening especially closely since the Pennsylvania primaries, with their slap at the Coolidge Administration, and since his own piling up of a huge majority in the" Indiana primaries. And today along came news that Senator R. N. Stanfield, Coolidge supporter, was running third in the Republican primary vote in Oregon. A Whisper in 1920 The cry was first heard in 1920, but it was such a mere whisper, even in Indiana, that Watson could not pretend he had heard it, although he was only prevented from announcing candidacy in that year by an Indiana political incident which has not yet been told. In 1924 the cry was heard again, only this time the slogan was "The Nation Needs Watson’Tor vice president.. The nation decided it didn’t need Watson, and the incident was closed. Seriously speaking, however, Indiana’s senior Senator is watching with an eagle eye every Incident which might show a drift of national politics to the point where they might turn favorable to him. He and his friends, it is said, were seeretely pleased with tho Pennsylvania primary as reflecting on Prcsi. dent Coolidgc’s chances in 1928. Watson is also watching closely the progress of former Governor Howden of Illinois, Vice President Hawes, Speaker Longworth and other midwestern presidential possibilities. This also furnishes a reason for his great disturbance at the resolution of Senator James A. Reed of Missouri providing for investigation of the methods by which the recent senatorial primaries were won. and for continued investigation of the senatorial campaigns this summer. No Wonder ,fim Fled Watson was so disturbed, it-Is recalled, that he rushed hastily from the Senate chamber after voting against taking up the Reed resolution, and was not present at the final roll call. Inspection of the resolution reveals his reasons. It is the most sweeping thing of its kind ever passed. It challenges not only the use of money, but the promise of office, or any other kind of prom' ise which might influence votes, made by or for any organizations whatever. Recalling that Rped is a sworn and hitter enemy nf the Ku-Klnx Klan and the Anti-Saloon League, both of which have large influence in Indiana politics, it is easy-to understand Watson's perturbation. Reed is a relentless investigator, and will dominate the investigating committee, whatever its personnel. Another member is "Young Rob” LaFollette, who has no love for Wat son, and if these two ever sit in the Indianapolis Statehouse and start probing the sore spots in Indiana Republican politics, they will not stop until they reach bottom.

SEARCH WARRANT RULING MAY HAVE GREATINFLUENCE Judge Asserts Provisions in Wright Law Are Unconstitutional. A liquor law ruling which, it is bell ved, will have great influence over Indiana was made Friday afternoon by Judge Fred McCaliister of Municipal Court Two when lie ruled that search warrant proceedings of the YVrlght bone-dry law are unconstitutional because the violate pro visions of the hill of rights of the Indiana constitution. Judge MeCallister handed down his opinion in sustaining a motion to quash the search warrant used to obtain evidence against Grace Foster, 1010 N. Sherman Ave. The defendant’s attorney challenged the warrant because evidence revealed that it had been obtained without a hearing in which the "probable cause” for belief that law was being violated was set forth. It was pointed out the ruling means that officers obtaining a search warrant cannot give hearsay evidence, and upon its strength obtain a search warrant and use liquor thus obtained as evidence in a trial. The court held the Wright law provisions unconstitutional because they permit the issuance of search warrants when the issuing officer "has reason to believe” violations occur and provide for no hearing. "The mandate of the*constitution is clear and specific, to the effect that a search warrant shall be issued only upon probable cause supported oaths or afflirmation,” ruled Judge McCaliister. John L. N'ihlack, deputy prosecutor, declared the ease formed a precedent which would make it practically impossible to ohtajn evidence in iiquor law prosecutions in Marion County. He said he would confer with Prosecutor William H. Remy in an effort to find some way 4 to take the ruling to the State Supreme Court.

Under present regulations, line officers, those who have been graduated at Annapolis, and staff officers w-ho entered the Navy after bhing educated elsewhere are not promoted at the same rate of progress. Staff officers ere assigned a "running mate” in the line and their basic pay depends upon that received by their running mate. But promotion has no such connection The House has just passed an equalization hill which, if enacted, would permit staff and line officers to advance in rank at equal rates of speed. Immediate effort of the Hill would he to promote some 294 staff officers in the medical, supply, civil engineering and construction corps have advanced more rapidly than their running mates In the line, and further promotion would be delayed some ten years for them. The equalization hill is the first step toward abolishment of the run ning mate system and consolidation of the branches of the Navy into one promotion line where there will be no further cause for rivalries, members of the House Naval Affairs Committee said. This second step will probably he taken by the next Congress.
