from John Callan O'Laughlin under

In their own interest as we'll ~ that
Of the nation the people Of Indiana
should return Albert ]. Beveridge to
the United States senate. This deo.
laration will be made by former Presi.
dent Theodore Roosevelt In speech
he has promised to deliver In the
Hoosier state. It will be an honest
expression based upon intimate know
ledge OF Senator Beveridge's course
which Col Roosevelt had while In the
White House.
It win be an Endorsement given 10
Beveridge less as the insurgent than
as the man and republican. It win bo
the return of the former president for
the loyal. jealous way In which the
Indianian aided him In getting through
legislation recognized as essential 10
the public interests.
Where Beveridos Gets crsdlt.
Mr.. Beveridge will Be given credit
for vital assistance In:
Moiding the philippine Legislative
policy, which has produced peaes and

There are many other laws enacted
and policies enforced which he has
influenced during the eleven years ~
has been in the upper house Of con-
gress. Take for instance the debates
in connection with the Aldrich tariff
law.
There II no doubt that tho insur-
gency Of Mr.. Beveridge and the coilea-
gues who fought with him caused =

forced the tobacco trust 10 pay mil

under the dishonest laws Of 1907 Il
had been collecting and keeping for
itself.
Similarly their attitude waa respon-
sible for substantial and valuable
notifications OF the railroad rates bil1
which was passed during the last -
sion Of congress. It ID true, likewise,
that statehood for Arizona and New
