fussy, it was a great saving of time as
well as of lace, for these fragile bits

Washington, April 9.-Headed by

wade Indiana and make campaign
for Senator Beveridge.
Aside from the senator from Mime

the members of the Beverage cam

liver of Iowa and Borah of Idaho.
Senator Beveridge is alarmed by at
tacks of the regular Republicans in
the house and senate and he has ap-
pealed to the insurgents for help.
A most cheerful response has come
from the insurgent camp. The pur-
pose Is to make the Hoosier state the
battle ground for the two elements in
the party.
Although 1t has not been denfiitely
decided, Senator Clapp of Minnesota
will probably open this speaking trip
