Of the voters Of Indiana. irrespective
Of their previous party Affiliations.
The nrst speech was delivered at
Monticello. the county seat of White
county. and was the first political
speech Senator Beveridge has made
in Congressman Crumpacker's dis
trict. It was demonstrated beyond all
doubt that the voters Of White coun-
ty are with Beveridge In his fight and
his appearance in the county greatly
assisted the republican candidate for
the legislature. It was also clearly
proved that the people Of the Tenth
district, II White county 10 any cri-
terion. are Id sympathy with Senator
Beveridge In his tight against the con-

government BY those interests that

He frankly told the audience II they

parts of the audience came the re-
plies, Were for you" "We're for

reviewed his actions during the last
session Of congress and again asked
for q direct approval or disapproval
from the people and again came the
response that they were hack Of him.
The most significant thing of the Wa
bash meeting was the indorsement Of
John L. Thompson. the republican
candidate for congress In the Elev.
enth district, by Senator Beveridge
and IN appeal to the people Of Wa
bash county to vote for Thompson.
II has been generally understood that
Thompson was inclined very strongly
TO the standpat theories Of politics.
but In his Enforcement of Thompson
Beveridge said. "Send John L.
Thompson to congress to stand by
my side and Sight, with me-. I have
had some talk with him. You know
him better than I do. but know he

him and know that when he looks

cd Q sensation among the politicians
and elected the tumultuous applause

gressive In its sympathy. These two
incidents furnish substantial proof Of
the open assertions Of the people and
Of the whispeIings Of the politicians
to the effect that Beveridge 10 the 10

he stood for In the last congress and
because Of the enemies he has raised
and that the people are % strongly
with him that the legislative ticket
win lead al the rest and be the savior
Of all the rest In the event Of close
light. The coterie Of politicians who
started out early In the campaign with
the open determination to defeat the
legislative candidates and pull the
rest Of the ticket through have al
gone to the woods. The people ara
