IS BAD NEWS FOR
THE DEMOCRATS
Robs Them of Campaign Argument
That Governor Hanly Is To Be
Sent to the Senate Two Years
Hence When Beveridge Comes. Up
Up for Reelection.

indianapolis, October 12.-From the
inner circles of the republican party
has come the rumor that James E.
watson and Senator Albert j. Bcve-
ridge have developed truce whereby
the latter Will work with might and
main to elect the republican nominee
for governor while Watson will see to
it, after he is governor, that the pres
enf senior senator has no opposition
when he comes up for reelection two
years hence.
WILL HELP REPUBLICANS.
The truce, generally believed to have
been established, is regarded as one of
the most important developments of
the campaign. Politicians agree that
1t will aid the republican party wonder
fully. Some say that the advance tip
IN regard <te tke TRUE had xnueh to do
with the sudden 1uctuatic n of the
betting by which the Ne 3hal money,
which had been on ne boards from
days. was cleaned up a. supplanted by
Watson money.
NO BREAK BETWEEN THEM.
There had been no break between
Watson and Beveridge but the two
were not working together in conf
dence. Beveridge was disposed to
think that some member of the Watson
crowd would in the event of republican
success this fall seek his position al
Washington and have the support OF
the Watson administration. Many OF
the Beveridge men thought that Gov
ernor Hanly had been picked for this
senate.
PREDICTION WAS WRONG.
It will be recalled that Beveridge'.
candidate for the gubernatorial nomi
nation was Charles w. Miller of Gosh
en-. nominee now in the thirteenth dis
trict for congress. The senator die
everything he could for the GosheI
man and the i'll feeling between tn,
Watson and Miller forces was great
After Watson was nominated the Bev
eridge crowd openly predicted that tn
democrats would carry the state ant
their manner indicated that they dit
not care if such was the result
AGGRESSIVE FOR STATE TICKET
But just recently the Beveridge men
and they are numerous here in Marion
county. have become aggressively act
i've for the state ticket. Beveridg
himself has come out strongly for Wat
son.
In his Terre Haute speech he pai
high tribute to the sixth district con
gressman and urged his election wit
such apparent sincerity and force a
to convince all his hearers that he wa
earnestly advocating unbroken supper
of the ticket. Still greater signif
canoe attached to this when few day
later at Upton, Watson devoted mos
of his speech to an eulogy of Beveridg
in which he declared that the senio
senator must be returned two year
from now to his high position.
Beveridge is now on far Wester
tour but he has promisd to give tn
last week of the campaign to Indiana
He will probably tour the state in
special train.
