WATSON HITS AT ‘OUTSIDE’ HOOVER AIDS invades Twelfth District Today After Address Here Saturday. Senator James E. Watson went to Ft. Wayne today to wage his campaign tight for Indiana’s presidential preference vote in the Hoover-claimed Twelfth district while Marion County Republicans pondered the defense the Senator set up for his candidacy in a speech at the Armory here Saturday night. In the vein of his Thirteenth district speeches, Senator Watson expressed resentment for the invasion Hoover orators are making in the State. “I believe the people of Indiana can settle these problems without outside aid,” he said. "I believe a candidate should make his pledges in the presence of the people,” he added by way of criticising Hoover’s failure to appear personally in Indiana.

Extolls G. O. F. Watson once more insisted “You can’t indict the party for the wrongs of individuals. I am asked ‘why not talk of corruption in the high places?’ Corruption is not political, but personal. Do I condone wrong? No. Do I apologize 1 for wrong acts? No. It is a question for the courts.” Senator Watson extolled Republi- j can principles, defended a high pro- | tective tariff, advocated a merchant j marine by ship subsidy, voiced opposition to Government ownership, warned against foreign entanglements and praised the Monroe doctrine. His declarations on restricted immigration were vehement: “If I had my way, I would shut them all out save only to reunite families. I would send back aliens who do not become naturalized. I may be preaching the doctrine of ‘extreme Americanism,’ but I believe in it.” Jokes Us Along Watson advocated enactment of the McNary-Haugen farm relief bill, despite the President’s disapproval. As in his other Indiana addresses, Senator Watson held up to the audience “hands that are clean” and received a burnt of applause. Watson was introduced by Earl Stroup of Fran'-'ort, who, in referring to the Sena.or’s record of public service, remarked, “You know how he can joke us along and joke us along.” William L. Taylor opened the meeting. Campaign literature for Frederick E. Schortemeier. candidate for Governor, and Arthur R. Robinson, seeking renomination for the United States Senate, was distributed.

BACKS HOOVER AFTERDISPUTE William Dudley Foulke Sees Secretary as Winner. Bu Times Snrdal RICHMOND, Ind., April 30.—William Dudley Foulke, 79-year-old veteran of reform politics, argued with Herbert C. Hoover, Secretary of Commerce, admired him for sticking to an honest opinion, and so today indorsed his candidacy in opposition to Senator James E. Watson in an Interview here. “I don’t know Hoover very well,” Foulke said. “I have met him only three or four times. On the first occasion, we talked civil servic > reform. We differed on one point—radically. And we had it out, hammer and tongs. I suppose we both got a ltitle angry. I know I did. “That made me like him after I cooled down. He gave his honest opinion, and he stuck to it. “And Watson?” , “Watson! Stop!” said Mr. Foulke, “violent laughter is bad for one of my age. Watson, of course, he has no serious purpose except the possession of a few votes to trade for personaal advantage. Asa President, he’s a little less than an impossibility, and every one in politics knows it.” , “But,” he concluded, “at this moment I’m less concerned about the presidency than about the honor of Indiana.” RACER’S MOTHER ILL Mrs. Lockhart Taken From Train on Way Here.
