BOY ORATOR OF THE wABAsH

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 1S.-United
States Senator Beveridge tonight ad-
dressed more than 1000 people at Tomlin-
son hall. He was escorted from the home
of Clarence Kenyon, whom he is visiting,
to the hall by marchingUclubs of rough
riders, several thousand. in number.
Judge Lawson M. Harvey presided, the
Marion club acting as the escort of
honor MIR. Beveridge sara In part:
I'm this campaign more than 1000, 900
young men will enlist under the political
banner under which the initial force of
their first vote and all the influences that
bind men to party will cause them to
march for the remaindc, OF their lives.
II is to these young men that I speak to-
night. 1t is to their future that ap-
peal.
DIVISION OF PARTIES.
There are two natural developments
that determine the lines of cleavage upon
which political parties are nor reforming
Both of them profoundly and elementally
effect every young man in the nation. Po-
liLlcaI parties are no longer made by poll
ticians. Platforms, constructed by poiiti-
people if those platforms fail to state
real issues truly. Political parties and
political issues are now constructed by
events When people reaches our pc
riod of maturity political parties have
their roots in human nature itself. And
so the first line of cleavage upon which
American political parties are reforming
is that of construc ton upon the one hand
and destruction upon the other hand
The elements among the people which are
constructive, the elements that build,
plan and advance, gradually crystalline
into another party. NO matter what
names these parties may bear, this Us the
nature and purpose OF each--construction
on the one hand, destruction on the other
hand.
ment that determines the line of cleavage
which is separating the American people
into two parties for the present and for
the future.
''The second natural development, per-
haps. grows out of this. When people
reach Its young manhood as the Amer
lean people has reached its young man
hood. they naturally look beyond their
boundaries for opportunities for their
energy and enterprise,
WORLD THEIR. FIELD.
"rhe world becomes their field. They
must look beyond their boundaries, be-
cause they begin to produce more lhan
they can consume; because they become
conscious of a developed strength Whlc1

does not satisfy; because, By the very
law of their being, they are no longer
content to- iye to themselves alone; pc

opment that determines the line of cleaV-

DESTINY OF AMERICA.
"our destiny is the 1ordship of the N, ma
tions Il is a destiny determined by the'r
roost viriJe blood of the most Virile young
men of the most virile nation Of the
world. We are not content to do less
than cur fathers did; and to do as much
as they. we must do more, as they
achieved national soldiery at home, so
shall we achieve national mastery ABROAD:
AS they made our nation secure by max
ing 1t united at home; 50 shall we Keep
it secure AT home by making 1t supreme
abroad. To US has come the voice that
came to the young men of England when
circumstances sent them forth to estab-
fish civilizations empire at the ends OF
the earth, thereby dissolving monarchy
and planting the privileges Of the people
in England itself To US has come the
voice that aroused the young men Of
every nation that has achieved in the
predestined hour for that nations aWak-
ening we doubt not our fathers. We
doubt not our institutions. We doubt
not the blood we have, inherited. We
doubt not ourselves. Faith in America
is the law of our life, and faith without
works is dead" And therefore go we
forth to work, and the fields of labor
to which events have called us are The
fields at once of American prosperity,
American duty and American glory. They
are the fields longed for by every rival
nation in the world. The fields those
rival nations occupy if America -is-~too
weak and too doubtful for that glorious,
arduous task. Young men of America let
US at our ballot boxes tell Americas
waiting and watching rivals that Amer
lean decline will not begin with US. Up
with the sacred banner of our faith in
Americas mission and American might

in this sign We will Conquer
