Indiana Democratic Statesman De.
clarcs for Republican Principlcs,

indianapolis. Sept. 29.-Charles l..
Jewett, ex-chairman of the Democratic
central committee of Indiana and eX-
speaker of the house of representatives
made notable speech last night before
the Sound Money club of Columbus,
Ind. He admitted that it was possible
his party was wrong in its tariff theor-
les, for he thought the experience of
the last few years had demonstrated
that it was not only necessary to levy
duties sufficient to raise revenues but to
protect American workingmen and
manufacturers that employ them.
Mir. Jewett's partial conversion to the
Republican policy of pre- ction is a
surprise to his hosts of Democratic
friends. He will vote for Mckinley.
