Senato Divided Into Groups 'But a big group of Senators obeys jot the party, at least not Implicitly, Hut the Farm Bureau. And this group of Senators obey the traditions of the Trofrefslve movement and are semi Independent. And this group is pri marily Interested In Inland waterways. And various others pay more attention t; virions economic interests than to the Tolee of the nominal party lenders, even tlin to tic voice of the President hlm- Tbe talk is that Senator Wat&on, of Indiana, will net oh Itenubllcnn lender of the Senate while Lodge Is occupied with the Pacific and disarmament con ference. Some Senators had the happy idea of jailing Watson the permanent leader, tiling upon Lodge's absence from the loot as an excuse for making a per banent change of leadership. The idea has not made mucti progress among Senators who arc awnre of the fundamental difficulties on the floor. One brilliant critic of f.enntorinl insu lations hit off the difficulties which Watson will face In this wine: ' "The most amusing sight ut Hie Cap itol is Jim Watson rushing about among the members of tho Senate, appealing to them In tho name of party loyalty. Jim It an orator. His pleas nrc infinitely moving. There are tears in his voice. But he Is talking the lnngungc of the past. There Is no Mich thing as party loyalty. He Is like n priest circulating among a bond of atheists, begging them to be faithful to the church . His pleas fall on deaf ears' One Ear for President .vtl?."?,10" ll!itcn n little more to the White House than they do to Wnt ton. The President controls pntrnn ase. He has tho prestige of his office.
