Continues from Pags L,

right. While there has been much talk |
about the disacection among Republi- |
cans and the likelihood that many of
them would vote against their party |
ticket this year reports from the vari-
Gus parts of the state are to the effect
that this is not borne out by the facts.
No one has yet been found who is able
to give the names of any of the Re-
publicans who intend to vote against
the ticket. In speaking along this line.
yesterday one of the Republican lead
ers of the state said:
1T is true that many Republicans
are not well pleased with the party
management but it is also true that
they are still Republicans and that they
will vote the ticket This has always
been the history of the party in Indi-
ana Some of the men who are talking
against the present management of
party affairs call attention to the fact
that the present parry differences are
but a continuation of the differences
that have existed in former campaigns.
But they should remember that two
years ago Senator Beveridge stumped
the state and in all of his speeches he
urged the election of James E. Watson
for Governor. Mr.. Watson is a regular
| and Senator Beveridge is an insurgent,
but this did not make any difference to
Beveridge. He worked hard for
Watson as he did for anyone else. It
is up to the opponents of Mr.. Beveridge
| to support him today as a matter of
honor and in accordance with the pre-
cedent established by Beveridge him

I'm every campaign for twenty
years, Mr. Beveridge worked for the

done this. notwithstanding the orsani-
zation had been conspicuously un-
friendly to him since he has been in
the Senate
AS an instance to show that Bever
idge had worked hard for Watson for
Governor. this man referred to what
Senator Beveridge said at Richmond on
October 2S. 1908, just a few days prior
to the state election. This is what he
said:
Every place that I have spoken !
have asked the people to make the
popular majority of James E. Watson
for Governor equal to that of w H
Taft for President. 1 earnestly hope
that every Republican-yes and every
Democrat who values the welfare OF
our state, will not only cast his ballot
for Mr. Watson but that from now un-
|
with might and main. AS I said in
Terre Haute, he has won a position In
the House of Representatives of high
distinction He has won this place by
peculiar qualities I can do no better
than to quote what said then. When
we reflect that there are nearly four
hundred members of Congress, we car
appreciate how great an honor has
been done for our state in the selection
of James E. Watson for the Whip OF
| the House.
Mr. Marshall appears to be a good
; man but he has no experience as 9
legislator or administrator. while Mr.
Watson has had extraordinary train
ing as a lawmaker.
AT Terre Haute. in a speech a.
lYoung's Air Dome. on September 2o
1908, Senator Beverage said: Our can
; didate, James f. Watson, has hae
twelve years experience in Congress
He has risen by force of native quail
ties to be whip of the House; ant
when we remember that the House hal
, nearly four hundred members, of whom
nearly three hundred are Republican
and, we can see how great distinction
. that is
He is able. he is highly trained, an
he is one of the most brilliant orator
that Indiana has ever produced. Tn
Republicans of Indiana have mad
him our standard bearer. Let us al
rally around him and by an overwhelm
9 ing majority elect as the next Cover
nor of Indiana that eloquent man an
