vice President Fairbanks.

II any doubt existed touching the
unity and loyalty of Indiana's support Of
| the candidacy of the Hon. Charles War
ren Fairbanks for President. such doubt
was removed, or should be removed, by
the manly. unequivocal utterance Of Sen
ator Beveridge at Wabash. This was a
clean-cut declaration that the Hoosier
delegation would go to Chicago with but
one choice and but ore purpose-Falr-
banks and his nomination.
Indiana has long been a potent factor
in Republican national politics-its party
men alert, active. and resourceful; its sit
uation geographically important, and its
! leaders equipped usually in high degree
The year Of our Lord 1903 is no exception.
If no longer a pivotal State, if its par
tisan status be less uncertain than In for
mer years, 1t may still be said, and truth
fully, as Mcdonald was won't to say
in other days, "as goes Indiana, so goes
the Union" Therefore. the great Hoosier
State has part in the Presidential equa-
ton.
As the country has come to know Mr.
Fairbanks better with the passing years.
it has appraised him all the higher He
has worn we'll as Senator and as Vice
President, measuring up fully to the re-
quirements Of public life. and serving
with honor and distinction in his exalted
station. His is a career creditable TO the
nation no less than to his own State.
It is eminentiy fitting and in order. then.
that Indiana should resolve TO present his
name at Chicago, and look forward to
the possibility. if not the probability. Of
his nomination.
A man Of spOtless personal character.
Of lofty ideals and of clean public record,
Vice President Fairbanks is a fine type
of American citizen-that type of which
Presidents are made. The position he
holds before the country to-day is the
logical climax Of national service well
performed.
The Presidency may not be Immediately
in store for this stalwart Hoosier-possi-
bly, the times are too radical for that
but The Washington Herald, nevertheless,
