Making Any engagements for
Either Him Mr.. Beveridge.
CHARLES B. LANDIS'S PLANS
ASKED PRESIDENT TO STOP AT
TIPTON AND NOBLESVILLE.
Mr.. Roosevelt Practically Has De-
cided to Add These Towns to His
Indiana Itinerary.

At the request of President Roosevelt, it
is probable that Senator Beveridge will
make some speeches in the West this cam
paign. 1t is the understanding, however
that his oratorical work in the West will
diana. Before Senator Beveridge left Wash
ington he had a talk with President Roose-
welt in which the latter expressed the desire
that the senator make some speeches in n
number of Western cities The senator re-
piled that he should be pleased to do this
if it could be arranged in a way that would
not conflict with his work in Indiana. He
feels that he belongs to Indiana and that
he must put forth his best efforts here.
However, it is the understanding that he
Will undertake to comply with President
Roosevelt's request before beginning his
speechmaking in Indiana. The Western
cities where it is desired that Senator Beve-
ridge shall speak are San Francisco, Port
land, Salt Lake City and Omaha
Like Senator Fairbanks Mr.. Beveridge's
mail almost daily contains a request from
some locality in Indiana or out of the
State for a speech. One of the latest in
vitations comes from the Republicans of
Alabama. They wish the senator to open
their State campaign at Montgomery on
Sept. 16. They write that conditions are
propitious in Alabama for the Republicans
TO make start this year and they think
Senator Beveridge is about the right man
TO open their campaign. The senator is
How NJ e..sse West on his vacation anu the
Alabama invitation has been forwarded to
him. 1t is not thought that he will have an
opportunity of going to Alabama at the time
mentioned. When Senator Beveridge left
Indianapolis a few weeks ago he gave the
State committee assurance that he would
be at the committees disposal as soon as
his work was desired. Senator Fairbanks
has given the same assurance and both men
are expected to take an important part in
this campaign An ufsent request has come
from South Bend to have Senator Beveridge
open the campaign there. but the State
committee has not absolutely promised that
the senator will be there. The only definite
engagement thus far made for Senator
Beveridge is to speak before the conven-
tion of the National League of Republican
Clubs which will be held at St. Louis.
Senator Beveridge will make the principal
address at this convention on Oct. L.
Senator Fairbanks, who was at Detroit
attending the funeral of the late Senator
Mcmillan Yesterday will, it is expected ar
rive home in time to keep his engagement
at Bethany Park to-day. His next speech
will be at Meharry's Grove, Tippecanoe
county on Thursday of next week when
he will address old settlers meeting On
Aug Is he will address an old settlers
meeting al Westport, Decatur county, and
on Sept. l he will make the Labor day
speech at Kansas City. Requests have come
from a number of Indiana cities to the
State committee that Senator Fairbanks
be assigned to them for the campaign open
ing. but the committee has not yet decided
where the senator shall speak. One of the
cities especially desirous of having the
senator present on the occasion of the
campaign opening is Anderson.
