the people of Indiana have but one
thing to expect from Senator Beyer-
idge no matter what they may believe
on the tariff. That is that he will use
every endeavor to secure a revision
of the tariff downward.
The duty of Senator Beveridge be-
fore anything else is to abide by the
promises of the last campaign, par
ticularly when he himself has made
these promises. 1t is his duty to rep
resent the wishes of his constituents.
And the people of Indiana want re-
vision of the tariff along protective
downward.
Thus 1t is that Beveridge is repub-
lican.
He is not trying to form a new par
ty, but to hold to the platform of the
party as he and the president of these
United States saw fit to explain it to
the people.
He is doing the best thing possible
for the future success of the republi-
can party in this state in keeping his
promises. He has the authority to
oppose Senator Aldriche's views on
the tariff from the fact that the
presidential candidate last fall prom.
Used these same things on behalf Of
his party to secure his election-le
has the authority from the people. Of
Indiana. The voice OF the people was
expressed accurately and truly in the
endorsement of the executive commit
tee of the Republican Editorial Asso-
citation.
Beveridge is republican and the
people of Indiana desire tariff revis.
Ion. II he will keep his present at
titude he should have nothing to fear
from his constituents.
