Without doubt the most sought-after man
in indianapolis yesterday was the one whom
tine Republican caucus selected Tuesday
night for United States senator from Indi-
ana. Mr.. Beveridge was a very busy man
all day and saw great many people. He
was "in the hands of his friends" and busi4
ness was practically suspended at his Offices
where he spent most of the time His rooms
were flooded with kilograms and every few
minutes during the day a gray-coated mes
senger boy would deposit a yellow envelope
on the table, where Mr. Beveridges chief
clerk sat answering numerous queries as 10
when the senator would be at leisure" But
there were very few moments in the day
that the senator could call his own. Mr.. Bev-
ericge sought his couch at o'clock yester-
day morning. He was receiving callers at his
home until long after midnight, and his tele-
phone was ore of the busiest in town. The
bell began jingling again at 7:S0 o'clock
yesterday morning and kept it up most OF
the day. 1t was or 10 o'clock before Mr..
Beveridge came down town. His first duty
was to pay his respects TO his friends, Judge
John ii. Baker and wife, at the Denson
House. Both were delighted at Mr.. Bever-
idg6's success. Later in the day judge
Baker said of his friend THE caucus did a
wise thing in selecting him. l was for him
from the start and did all 1 could to help
him. He is a young man of fine character
and of marked ability, and no man will ever
have pull on him. He will be a credib
to the State in the United States Senate"
One of the earliest callers at Mr.. Bev-
erjdge'S office yesterday morning was j.
Frank Hanly, who the lucky candi-
dates most vigorous opponent. Mr.. Hanly
was much disappointed when he found Mr..
Beveridge had not yet arrived lie was
compelled to leave the city on morning
train and could not wait. He left his best
regards" which were promptly delivered.
Among those who called during the morn
ing was Addison C. Harris, who was on
Tuesday appointed to the Austrian-Hun-
garian mission. Several hundred men called
on Mr.. Beveridge during the day, and the
clerks in his office estimated last night that
400 kilograms of a congratulatory nature
were received. Several kilograms were re-

her on her husbands success
One of the first kilograms handed to Mr..
Beveridge yesterday morning was from
