Montgomery county Republicans are d.
vided in their senatorial preferences be-
tween Taylor and Beverdge although most
of the active workers are booming the lat
ter WfordsVille Republican.
Judge Taylor is the best equipped man in
the lot for the senatorship. He is a man
of vast information upon the very subjects
that will engage the attention of Congress
possibly the whole of the term of the SEN
ator that is TO be chosen.-BrookVille Amer
lean.
All the candidates for the senatorship are
men who have worked their way up from
the most humble conditions. If the charge
is true that the United States Senate is be-
coming a plutocratic body, certainly Indiana
will do nothing this year to help such
tendency along.-Anderson Herald.
The counting of noses here shows a large
majority of Fayette county Republicans in
favor of Albert ]. Beveridge for United
States senator and if our representatives in
the Legislature wish to reflect the senti-
ments of the constituency they will I'M
doubleday vote for him in the caucus.-Con-
nersVille News.
In Albert j. Beveridge, if elected TO the
Senate, the people would have an advocate
for every wrong that needs resistance and
every Just cause that lacks assistance" In
honoring him with a seat in the senate, In
diana would be nonoring the State OF Lane,
Caleb B. Smith, Morton, Harrison and
Fairbanks.-Liberty Herald.
The idea that a defamation is the only
needful requisite of a statesman is obso-
lete. Oratory may be good thing in its
way to tickle the ears of the groundlings,
but is no more part of craftsmanship than
is the playing of a cornet or the pounding
of piano, the welding of baton or the
striking of high c in a cadenza.-Peru Re
publican.
Mr.. Posey will get a strong vote from
southern Indiana, but if his chances of sue
cess are not certain then his support will
scatter to the other gentlemen. In Greene
county Mr.. Taylor has many admirers on
account of his early stand for sound money,
but no more than Mr.. Beverage. MI. steele
is considered by our people as strong UNI
Der and Mr.. Hanly is credited with some
sterling qualities.-Bloomfield News.
The Republican would like to have seen
its fellow-citizen, Hon. c. S. Hernly, nom
mated for SENATOR but taking the advice OF
Cromwell he has put aside ambition" and
has publicly announced that he is not can
didate for any office. After Mr.. Hernly,
our next choice is Hon. j. Frank Hanly,
who best represents the rank and tlle OF the
Republican party of all the Candidates now
before the people.-Henry county RepuD-
lican.
Mr. Taylor is recognized primarily on &C
count of his association with currency
movements, Mr.. Steele as soldier and pol
itician. and Mr.. Posey as an all-around fell
low who has done good service and got
limited reward. HaDly and Sewerage are
distinctvely the young mems candloates'
and their supporters are enthusiastic duVo-
Gates of the idea of filling vacancies IN the
United States Senate with new blood.-l-a-
fayette Courier.
The Tribune's poll of Henry county on the
choice of Republican voters for United
States senator reveals very spotted" con-
dition of things One township or precinct
is almost solid for a certain candidate, and
the next one will be devided between a half
dozen out of nearly 900 votes, Hernly
has a decided plurality, but with fieIihy ouI
of the race Taylor and Beverage lead one
precinct gave an almost SOLID vote Ior helry
u. Johnson.-New Castle Tribune
There has been rather free expressions
lately of the sentiment of leading Republic
ans of this county. But for any one TO
presume that that sentiment is universal
for any one candidate is preposterous. Each
candidate has his friends here If we We're
going to name them in the order OF Inelr
strength in this county, we would say Ran
ly, Taylor, Beveridge, PoSey, Steele we
Republicans over the county.-IreehSours
Standard.
That there is a strong sentiment IN How
ard county in favor of Hanly for senator
cannot be denied, and it is probable that If
the question could be decided at the ballot
box he would receive a majority of the Re-
publican votes Of the county In some Of
the townships the sentiment is almost unan-
imous for him. The Republicans of Howard
county know Mr.. Manly and have always
admired him on account of his social quail
ties and oratoTical ability. The News knows
nothing 70 the discredit OF Mr. Hanly, but
