Mr.. Roosevelt is mistaken He can.

already said-that the congress of the
United States should make a
thorough investigation of the whole
Panama transaction that the full
truth may be known to the American
people.
1t is a most extraordinary circum.
stance that Mr.. Roosevelt himself did
not demand such an inquiry. All his
protestations of outraged virtue, all
his torrents of imprecation and de.
nunciation, end with the amazing as
sertion that there is nothing what,

story came out at tiAs meeting for
the first time. and before the confer
ence was over there were many who
believed it.
The meat of the story is that the
brewers of the state are for Shively
In return for the work he did against
the high license bill when it was be-
fore the legislature two years ago
and also for his unsuccessful effort
to prevent the passage of the county
local option bill at the special session
In September.
ShiveIy Worked for Brewers.
Those who watched the progress
of events at these two sessions know
that Shively was one of the most eff
fective lobbyists in the entire outfit
against the thousand dollar license
bin. and that it was through his eff
forts as much as those of anyone else
that 1t was defeated. Shively worked
like a trojan Of course, it was ac-
cepted by everybody that he was
merely hired lobbyist in the matter,
5ust as many other able lawyers were
employed legitimately as paid lobby
lists for various interests, and every
one conceded that Shively did a nigh
fy good job of it.
Money Used Over State.
In this connection there is re-told
now the story of the little champagne
supper at the Denison hotel the night
after the high license bill was defeat
ed. Crawford Fairbanks. owner of
the 'Terre Haute BrewiSg company,
and chief manipulation, with Albert
Lieber, Of this city, of the brewery
politics Of the state, was so happy
that he threw a supper. Corks pop
ped and they had good time and
everybody was complimented for the
good work done in that fight.
Then during the last campaign a
brewery attorney went over the state
planting money in the various coun-
ties for use in the democratic cam
paign. In planting this money he let
1t be known that it was "Shively
money" and that if the legislature
was democratic Shively would be
elected United States senator.
Double Cross Charged.
After this story was recalled. yes
terday and last night, there cropped
out another one to the effect that
Crawford Fairbanks is double-cross-
ing John E. Lamb, of Terre Haute,
who is also candidate for senator.
Fairbanks is ostensihly for Lamb. and
has let it be known that he is work
ing for him. But a man who stands
close to Fairbanks told a friend yes
terday that Fairbanks is only out for
Lamb for the purpose of keeping the
legislators of the Fifth district from
going to Slack or Kern. He said that
when the right time comes Fairbanks
viii have Lamb withdraw from the
race and that the vote of the Fifth
district will then go to Shively.
Fleming Considers shively.
Then there is another situation that
lends some color to the story that
Shively has the brewery support and
that this makes him formidable can
didate. That is the fact that Steve
Fleming controls absolutely the vote
of the Twelfth district and that if he
finds that Edward G. Hoffman, of FIT.
Wayne cannot be elected senator. he
win throw his vots to Shively. Flem-
ing Is brewer. He would do any
thing to defeat John w. Kern. be-
cause there is a cordial. mutual per-
