G. 0. P. QUIET BUT NOT DEAD, SAYS WATSON Former Senator Comments on Article in Saturday Evening Post. Former Senator James E. Watson agrees with the editorial in the current issue of the Saturday Evening Post charging that current G. O. P. leadership is "dormant.” But he does not agree that the party has been laid aside by "standpatism" and reactionaries as the editorial sets out. The magazine urged anew liberal leadership for the Republican party as opposed to what it terms the radicalism of the Democrats. “It is ridiculous to think that the party that has had charge of the government for seventy years is going out of business,” Mr. Watson asserted. "It is the minority party and can make itself felt. "There is no such thing as a ‘standpatter.’ Furthermore, I don't believe there is an extreme right in the party. Today there are many extreme lefts.” The former senator arrived in Indianapolis yesterday for visits in the state. He intends to be in Winchester and Rushville during the next few days.
