Indianapolis, Ind. July 25.-Consid-
cradle interest has been aroused over
the publication In a newspaper OF the
abatement that when President Tart
speaks at Winona Lake. on August 30,
he will make q political speech. The
fact Ia. however, that the presidents
speech on that occasion will not be
q political speech at all. 1t will be
anything but that. The occasion 10
the annual convention OF bible stu
dents from all parts of the world 1t
10 expected that It will be one OF the
most important Bible conferences held
anywhere In the world In recent years
a. probably 5000 persons from all
parts OF the globe are expected to at
tend. Delegates will attend. 1t Is said.
from every country where the Bible Is
read and studied.
II IL at this meeting that President
Taft will make his speech. There Is
no question but that the Republicans
OF Indiana would be delighted to have
the President make campaign speech.
90 in this state this year. for he has
great following In Indiana. He is rec
ognized here, ~ everywhere as q great
man and q man that Is wise In coun-
eel. Besides. he IL the head Of the Re-
publican party. and It II pointed out
that ~ such head he could do the
party much good by making speeches
IN this state. But It 10 not yet known
that he will speak In Indiana during
the campaign. A short time ago It
was said that an invitation would be
extended him to speak In this state.
and Il was said also that he had
about made up his mind to come to
Indiana on his own Initiative and
make . speech or two. but these re.
ports have not been verified.
Interest Was Aroused.
When tho word was published that
the Presidents Winona speech on
August 30 would be . political speech
and that no would probably have q
good deal to say on the tariff question,
considerable interest was aroused.
state Chairman Lee, however. said
that the speech was not to be politi-
cal. and . dispatch from Washington
later confirmed this statement. It is
likely however. that many Indiana Re
publicans will 20 to Winona to hear
the President speak. In the hope that
he may say something along political
lines. or that they may be able to
have . conference with him on the po-
1itical situation. Whether they will
have their wish gratified is question.
The decision Of the Democrats to
bring Bryan into Indiana this year to
help them in their campaign. and the
fact that the Republicans will have
Roosevelt as one Of their speakers
brings about . peculiar situation. In
each instance the speakers will come
in with part Of his party opposed to
his Views on some things. Roosevelt
comes to help Senator Beveridge, an
1nsurGent senator. What he will say
when he gets here IL not known, but
there II . diversity Of opinion as to
whether he will do much with the tar.
III question. on which the insurgents
and the regulars In the party split. 1t
seems to be the belief Of most Repub.
licans. however. that Roosevelt will
not say much about the tariff. but that
he will make . personal appeal in be-
half Of Beveridge and make his speech
. broad argument for Republican prin-
ciples. II IL pointed out that It will
not be necessary for him to say much
II anything. on the tariff. because
there are many other issues on which
he can base his speech.
Position Of Bryan.
Bryan will be In . similar position.
