TARIFF ATTITUDE
CAUSES COMMENT
Speech of Senator Beveridge
Pleases Insurgents and Demo-
crats-Latter Predict Victory

WASHINGTON, April 6.-While the
White House to- day had nothing to
say in regard TO the attitude of Sena-
tor Beverage toward the Payne Aid
rich tariff bill. as expressed In his
speech before the Indiana State Con-
vention yesterday, the utterance was
the subject OF considerable comment
elsewhere in Washington.
II is probable that President Taft
will let the Indiana situation severely
alone, despite his championship of the
tariff all alone. When he recognized
Senator BeyeridgeAas the head of the
party in the Hoosier State. he turned
over to him the management of the
campaign and gave him carte blanche
as to the tariff. Undoubtedly the
President desired an endorsement of
the Payne Aldrich bill and relied on
Beveridge to do the right thing for
the party 1t was reasoned that even
nsurgent Republican victory is bet
ter than total defeat.
While the regulars are to-day de-
ploring the insurgentcy of the Indi-
ana platform, the insurgents and pro-
gressives are more than satisfied with
the way Mr.. Beveridge handled the
matter.
Indiana Democrats, however. are sure
that the Beveridge platform means
success for the Democratic party In
the fall campaign.

NEW YORK, April 6---The rise In
