The Senatorial question.

While Judge Taylor, of Fort Wayne, has
a strong following in the senatorial fight
he is severely Handicapped by the view pos
sessed by every other candidate that Judge
crowns the efforts Of any other man. It
may become a general fight of the field
against Taylor.-Goshen News
The men thus far conspicuous in the race
for United States senator in Indiana, are
all away above average in point of intelli-
gence and ability. No doubt Judge Taylor is
by far the ablest of the lot but should he
be defeated and either of the others be
chosen, the junior senator will not be
man the Hoosier people will be ashamed
of.-Angola Magnet
The predominating claim of some of the
aspiran.s for the high distinction of repre-
senting the great State of Indiana in the
United States Senate seems to be the fact
that they do not live in Indianapolis. The
best available man, the one with the most
brains and greatest ability, no matter where
he is found SO it is within the limits of
the State. should receive this great honor.

1t is said that Mr.. Charles Hernly, of
New Castle. Ind, will be formidable candi-

coming Legislature. Mr.. Hernly made a
complete acquaintance with the workers
and especially the successful candidates for

Indiana is a great, big State, and should
have as equitable senatorial representation
as possible. No party will ever lose any
thing by being fair TO all sections of the
State; hence Senator Fairbanks colleague

The senatorial situation in Indiana is
growing more interesting and exciting
daily. Facts and figures have recently been
compiled which go to prove that j. Frank
Hanly and Robert l.. Taylor are likely to
be the only ones in the race when the af
fair comes to a show down. Albert j. Bev-
eridge, of Indianapolis, has openly an
nounced his candidacy but the fact that he
resides in Indianapolis will seriously handi-
cap him in that the Legislature will not
look with favor upon sending two men to
the national Senate from the same city.
Hammond Tribune.
The Republican party can always boast of
a surplus of talented and able men upon
whom to bestow honOrs and here in Indi-
ana there is no dearth of political timber
and there are a score of men who would
surely reflect credit upon Hoosierdom in
the Senate chamber. To him who would
size up the situa ton, there are two men
who are more widely known over the State
on account Of their speech-making ability
and their splendid advocacy of Republican
principles. These are Hon. Robert s:
Taylor, of Fort Wayne, and Hon. Albert
j. Beveridge, of apolis.-Liberty

Few men in the State are as worthy as
