did not know whether there had been
any such abuses or not. but / was in
formed there might have been. l feel
that In such cases of abuses any hon.
est man standing for an honest court
would throw about these men such
protection as was warranted whether
the claims were opposed to abuses by
courts or any other tribunal and IL
there were abuses they should be safe
guarded.
II was asked whether or not in
cases of all injunctions in labor dis
putes would favor a hearing before a
temporary Injunction or restraining
order could be granted. / would favor
notice being given in all cases unless
the facts showed there would be ire
parable injury accomplished by the de-
lay. In that case | would demand it
be sworn to in the bill of facts and
clearly stated.
"The third question was: would l
favor a law granting a trial by jury
to any person charged with being In
indirect contempt of court would
not favor such a law. / would not
favor any law that would change the
equity and Jurisprudence and take
from our courts the power to enforce
their judgments. This would be a
complete change of our judicial sys-

quired for a trial by jury.
Il think this idea promulgated by
the democrats would lessen the inf1u-
ence Of the courts and tend to destroy
them absolutely. No laboring man
would want what he is not willing to

Discusses Federal Issues.
The speaker devoted the greatest
portion of his time to a discussion OF
the tariff and other federal issues
He said he does not believe the AM
erican people want to try again the
old story they had experience with In
the time of Grover Cleveland. He
said the only question is how to levy
duties. Shall they be discriminating
or not? The republican party was
said to stand for revision as many
things have changed since the Ding.
ley bill was enacted. The removal
of the duty where necessary was ad.
vocated. The republican party was
pointed to as always having stood for
the welfare of the American people.
He reviewed statistics in support of
discussion of the trust proposition. He
said take the good out of the trust
system and save 1t but remove the
evil. He said trusts ought to be con
trolled, when they do wrong, but to
break them down entirely would de
stroy industry.
The Judge discussed the subject OF
local option, as state issue, from the
legal standpoint. He said the voters
of Indiana ought to stand for the
principle and vote for James E. Wat
son for governor.
Beveridge is cheered.
When Senator Beveridge stepped
upon the platform he was greeted by
thunderous applause. He bowed his
acknowledgements to the crowd ane
waved his hand to group Of Earlhan
college boys seated in the gallery
who greeted him with nine rahs ant
tiger. The senator appeared in goot
form despite the strenuosity he is I'm
dergoing. His voice was trifle hus
ky, but those accompanying him OF
the tour say he is holding out remark
ably well.
