BEVERIDGE MAKES SPEECH

Indianapolis, December 26.-Resolutions were adopted unanimously today at the biennial love feast of Indiana republicans urging the nomination of Vice President Charles w. Fairbanks for the presidency. The resolutions were introduced by Gov ernor Frank Hanly, and were adopted with a round of cheers by the thousand and more active party workers of the state who were present. The resolutions were as follows:
 we, the republicans of the state of Indiana, at the love feast assembled, send greeting and felicitations to the Hon. Charles w. Fairbanks. Vice President of the United Statets, and turn to him for leadership in the pending presidential campaign. We have often trusted him and have many times given him high commission
 His clean life in public and in the home, his clearness of concept, his poise of character, his conservative courage and his great ability have long appealed to us
 His love of the people, from whose Joins he came, the faith he has ever mani fested in American institutions and re- publican principles, his ripe experience in public affairs, the support he has given President Roosevelt in the Senate in hls present high office and the memory of the confidence and affection in which the late President Mckinley held him, lead to declare him great and broad and brave enough to deal with the new con ditions now before the country.
 'Wc ask his leadership with full con fidence in his wisdom and in his patriot ism and promise him in return our high est effort and best endeavor to secure for him the nomination of his party at the national convention to be assembled at Chicago next June"
 United States Senator Albert J. Bev- eridge presided and made the principal address. He said in part
 After we elect the President, we will revise our tariff Any man in any party who proposes tariff revision on the eve of national election is either too unin- formed or too insincere to be trusted. Any tariff revision unsettles somewhat the legitimate business of the country, but tariff revision before a presiden- tial election would prolong that dis turbance for ruinous months. Meanwhile a tariff commission should gather the facts and have them ready for Con gross.
 I've must amend the railroad rate law at points where it is defective. We must make modern the Sherman law, which now shackels honest enterprises because it does not fit present conditions. We must prevent oVer-capltalization and the swindling for which it furnishes oppor- tunity and excuse. We must drive the canal to completion and improve the na- tion's waterways that the people may have the transportation designed by na- ture.
 And we must and will end the infamy and shame of child labor in this repub- lie. Those who say that it is unconsti- tutional for the nation to stop this na- tional evil deny the authority of the su- preme court and the validity of a dozen similar laws already on the statute books. We republicans regard the constitution as Marshall regarded 1.-the chart of pro- gress, not the shield of wrong'
