Watson, by early and energetic work, had corralled so many votes that if tho contest had gone to Its full length his success was generally predicted.

Failure by this congress, to enact the appropriation bills la ths only thing which would absolutely force Herbert Hoever to call an extra ses sion of the naw congress. However, the president-elect hat promised an extr» session fo r the con sideration of farm relief legislation. If It la not provided at this session, and whether this problem la going to be left to him and ths extrn.gesslon still is problematical. Some republican leaders, who also are members of the farm bloc and were prominent in the campaign of Herbert Hoover, want this entire ques tlon left to the cars of the new admin- istrtstlon.'
