The selection of Hon. Albert ]. Beveridge
for United States senator from Indiana is
highly pleasing to Goshen politicians and
| business men. While in the city during the
| campaign Mr. Beveridge made host of
staneh friends who believe that he will re-
flect honor upon the State which he will,
IN company with Senator Fairbanks. ably
represent. There is everyf-reason to believe
tnat senator BeVeridge'S career in the Sem
ate VIII be brilliant one. He is brafny,
IeVel-headed, keen politician and an orator
OF the greatest ability.-Goshen Times.
The Republicans of Indiana and the peo-
pie of the State in general are to be con-
graduated over the early settlement of the
senatorial contest in the caucus at Indian
apolis, and while the friends of the other
four candidates cannot help but think that
their particular candidate should have had
the nomination, none will deny that Mr..
Beveridge is fitted in every respect to up
hold the honor and dignity of the great
Hoosier commonwealth in the highest
branch of the legislative department of the
greatest country on earth.-Logansport
Journal.
Indianas prospective senator occupies a
rather trying position as he goes to the
Senate with national reputation as a pub
lie speaker. He has been the leading ora
tor at scores of public gatherings, his serv-
ices being in great demand People will
expect great deal of him in the Senate:
There is every reason to believe that he will
not disappoint the expectation of his friends.
Mr.. Beverage will be a prominent figure
in the Senate. He will carry dignity with
him. Indiana will be proud of him. His
success in private life has been marvellous;
there is every reason to believe that his
success in public life will be even greater.
-Muncie Times.
While southern Indiana is greatly dsap-
pointed because of the defeat of Hon Frank
B. Posey for United States senatorial hon
ors, it can heartily indorse the action of
the majority of the caucus in the choice Of
Hon. Albert J. BeVeridge to succeed Mr..
Turpie Whatever the causes that con-
spired to make his success complete in the
caucus, one thing is true-AIr. BeVeridge is
q Republican in all that the term implies.
he enters the Senate in the flush of a Wig
orous young manhood, an orator whose pow
er mas attracted the attention OF almost the
entire Nation close student, deep think
er, and an expounder of the law of such
ability as to arrest the attention of the
ages.-EvansVille Journal.
In all the elements which go to make up
senator, Mr.. Beveridge is an ideal man.
Eloquent gifted and filled with the spirit
of comparative youth, he carried with him
the confidence and influence of the sound,
able and conservative element of the Repub-
lcan party in the State, which put aside
the petty question of geographical location
when confronted nv the in
volved in the selection of a senator. The
elevation of Mr.. Beveridge to the dignity of
a seat in the United States Senate will meet
with the approval of all elements of the
party in the State In Carroll county,
where he is well known the news of his
success met with a hearty and favorable
receptiOn.-Delphi Journal
Hon. Albert ]. Beveridge, the brilliant
young Republican who has been named for
United States senator by the Republicans
of Indiana is a man without a peer of his
age in the State and few if any, in the
Nation. The career of this brilliant young
statesman has just begun, and we predict
that he will win distinction for himself and
glory for the State in the United States
Senate With such pure, manly character,
such a brilliant mind, such lofty purpose,
such determination, such devotion to his
party such a grand conception of American
principles and such gift OF oratory we
feel certain that he will soon stand in the
front rank of statesmen of this great Ma
tion.-Vincennes Commercial.
Inasmuch as the Tenth district could not
see its favorite candidate, J. Frank Hanly
nominated for United states senator, the
election of that brilliant orator, Albert ].
Beveridge, is gracefully received by the Re
publicans in this end of the State Mr.
Beveridge has many warm friends in Mich
igan City whose sentiments We're for him,
next to "our Frank" Mr. BeVeridge is a
young man of ability-will be one of the
youngest in the Senate-but he is fully quail
flied for the grave responsibilities of a Unit
ed States senator, and the News predicts
that in Senators Charles w. Fairbanks and
Albert J. BeVeridge Indiana will present a
brace of senators which any other State in
the Union will find hard to draw tO.-Michi-
gan City News.

and fidelity, and win renOWn in the forum
