present from ali parts Of tire state.
Senator Beveridge said:
The Indiana delegation is going to
Chicago for Vice-President Fairbanks.
Statements are being sent out that af-
ter few ballots shall have been cast
for him the delegation is to be deliv-
cred to this or that candidate. This
IS an insult to the Republicans in this
state which IN their name / denounce
The Republicans in Indiana whom we
viii represent are not to be traded or
delivered. We will vote for our candi-
date until he is nominated or until he
himself tells us to vote no longer for
him, and if that time ever comes the

A Century in Twenty Years.
1T is not Republican to be reminis-
cent; II is republican only to be pro-
phetic. Nearly twenty years ago the
sherman law was enacted. We have
travelled century since then In that
day the organization of industry had
Just begun and men were alarmed: to-
day we know that the organization Of
industry alone can serve the people
that railroad consultations alone can
carry cheaply, safely, quickly the ma
TONS passengers and freight And So
while ON the one hand We have provid-
ed for Furnishing the robberies commit
ted by trusts upon the people and put
ing i'm jail the wealthy anarchists who
break the peoples laws, we should also
provide that honest men may combine
for honest business: honest railroad
managers consolidate their lines for
honest traffic, that the business of the
country may go forward. And so the
sherman law must be amended and
brought down to date
Double-Barrelled Tariff.
A straight outright tariff gives ev-
erything away and gets nothing in
return; straightOut protective tariff
gives nothing away and gets nothing
IN return. We must have a tariff by
which we can open the markets of the
World-one highly protective tariff to
apply to the nations that will not grant
Us favOrs in their markets, and anOth-
ct tariff, still protective for nothing
that-Will give us favors in their mar
kets.
Laws must be passed to help labor.

you cannot take the peoples minds in
that way from the burning questions of
the day. The old and disgraceful pOlit-

Let the People Rule.
Let the people decide; let the peo-
pie rule unbought by money, uninfiu-

of official positions at indianapolis or
at Washington are just as much brib-
cry as the paying over of actual cash
Let us have definite policies flow
