Washington, d. c., April 1.-THE
people OF Indiana are to be congrat-
ulatcd Senator Beverldge stands
on The firing line OF the battle, now
nationwide, for the defense Of tho
public rights against the evil inau-
ences which are seeking to capture
this government His success con-
Germs every man, woman and child In
Indiana without regard to politics.
The foregoing terse statement from
Senator Dolliyer OF Iowa on the sig
nilicant political event which has
Just lranspired In indianapolis. re-
llects the elatlon among Republican
progressives In Washington over the
action of the Indiana Republican
convention In warmly commencing
Senator Beyeridge's opposition TO the
PayneAldrlch tariff bin and his vote
against it, and IN calling for a revi-
sion Of tho measure as soon as the
true difference between cost OF pro-
ductlon at home and abroad can be-
determined BY a tariff commission.
Hailed as Dlstinos Triumph.
The course of the Indiana Repnb-
licans Is hailed by progressive Repub-
licans In congress as a distinct tri.
umph for their cause as we'll as a
great personal victory for Senator
Beyerldge oyer the hackers OF the ad.
minlstratlon and OF the Aldrich-
Cannon regime in the state and in
Washington.
Indiana has been looked on by the
progresslyes as the weakest link in
the chain OF Western states show
Ing radical tendencies, and It's cap
ture through tho Efforts OF Senator
Bevcridge Is hailed with peculiar de-
light IN the progressive camp. They
believe the action OF the Indianap-
oils convention Will give an immedi-
ate and decisive impetus TO the pro-
gressiye cause and especially to tho
movement for u genuine revision
downward of the tariff not only In
the West, but throughout the coun-
try. II Is looked on as removing tho
las, doubt as to the attitude that will
be taken by the Republicans OF Iowa,
Nebraska, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Kansas, Washington and perhaps tho
two Dakotas in relation TO the Payne
Aldrich act, and the course generally
Of The nrogressiyes and insurgents in
congress. The Republican radicals
Teel renewed confidence that the ef.
ffNs NJ the President .he Alfrlch.
Common machine he Republican
congressional campaign committee
and the Republican National commit
tee TO force silent acceptance OF the
/ tariff act and 10 discredIt and defeat
the Republicans who refused to vote
for It viii be without avail.
Won Single Handed.
Senator Beyerldge single handed
has been able 70 hold his own against
Tho strong array OF Interests and
Influences lined up In opposition to
him In Indiana, where insurgency has
been less widespread and pronounc-
ed than In the other states mention
/ cd. Regardless OF the repeated de-
lenses Of the Aldrich-Pavre act made
by the head Of the administration and
chief Of the Republican party The
Republicans OF the state not merely
refuse to indorse the act, but con.
domn It inferentially by demanding
It's revision az speedily as such re.
vision can be undertaken intelligent.
~ u Is severe Jolt to the ad-
minisiraton, the first OF series
which the progressives expect II to
receive IN the coming few months
from he Republicans OF the great
Western insurgent belt. It marks
The beginning Of new advance by
the Republican radicals and unless
the President takes hie bearings
afresh and steers a different course
with other sailing masters than those
supplied BY the Aldrich-Cannon
school Il means disaster for the TAFT
administration
