Marc Sullivan in Golfers
Weekly Says Gary May
Be Arrayed Against Sen
ator by Steel Company
Owing to Tariff Demand.

Marc Sullivan, the Washington writer
for Golfers weekly. claims that Gary
may cut some figure in state politics
when Senator Beveridge comes up for
reelection next fall and that the Unit
ed States Steel corporation may use its
influence to try to defeat him. In last
weeks Golfers, Mr.. Sullivan says:
Among the ten insurgents, four
must soon come before their people for
election. They are. Beveridge of
Indiana, Clapp Of Minnesota. Burkett
of Nebraska and LaFonette of Wiscon-
sin.
These men should be supported in
their several states by every man who
admires independence and courage. Be
yond their states those who approve
the records of these senator's should
contribute the powerful aid of outside
public opinion. If these men are re
turned to the senate it must be accom-
plished through the unselfshness of
Individuals. Every selfish interest, the
organized wealth which contributes
money, manages campaigns, and gets
votes by purchase of persuasion
these interests they have opposed. It
is no secret that Beveridge has been
marked for slaughter. When he rose
to cast the first republican vote against
the Aldrich bill Che leads the insur-
gents in the alphabetical list, and i'm
portant issues often hang on that po-
sition( Aldrlch followed him with a
bitter speech which was intended to
excommunicate him from the republic
an party. Beverage will need the help
of all who approve his courage. The
presence at Gary of the new plant OF
the steel corporation makes new and
dangerous element for Beveridge In his
state"

INDIANA PIPE LINE COMPANY
TAKING Up ABANDONED PIPES

In connection with the near ap-
proach of the dredge to Chicago ave
nue. it was noticed that General Man
ager H w Wallace of the South Shore
interurban was here yesterday in con-
ference with Martin Hausler Jr., SUI
perintendent of the Great Lakes Dredg-
ing & Dock company in this territory.
The conference was for the purpose of
arriving at some plan by which the
dredge will get by the interurban
bridge without too much delay to the
roads traffic. 1t is not known just
what conclusions the two gentlemen
arrived at. but 1t is sure the street car
people will not cause any unnecessary
delay to the dredging work.
