MATTERS IN STATE-sEN-

IN INDIANA.
Candidate for Reelection Stands ON
Prediction of $4,000 Majority
for Republican Ticket in
November.

Indianapolis, Sept. THE arrival
OF Senator Beveridge, from his sum-
mer vacation in New Hampshire will
cause things to >liven up considera-
bly, in the campaign, for he is re-
garded as the leader of the Repub-
lican party in this state at this time.
and the party will naturally look to
HIM to take the lead and set the pace
in the campaign That he will be full
~ able to fill his part of the program
Is easy 60 see from a look at him.
he Is as brown a saberry and his
muscles are as hard as iron. He looks
like he is in the very best of health.
and he admits that he is.
He has not given out any political
statements or interviews since his ar
rival, for the very good reason, as he
expressed it, that the had not been at
home long enough to know what TO
say. But he did express full con-
fidence in republican success in Indi-
ana this fall
1--WE are going to carry Indiana
by at least 50,000," he said. | made
that prediction before / went away
on my vacation, and | still stick TO
the figures. Carry Indiana? Why, of
course we will. The people do their
own thinking and veting and they
are going TO vote our ticket this
year"
Senator Beveridge never was so
full of ginger and energy as he is
right now. He walks with a lighter
and quicker step, and slaps his callers
on the back with dull thud that
tingles all the way down to the call
er's toes. He says he has put in the
summer at getting in shape for the
hard campaign that is coming on.
de wrote some magazine articles
while he was away, and gave a good
deal of thought to what he will say
IN his campaign speeches.
>. :. Republicans in Line.
Less and less grows the talk about
republican who will not support the
republican ticket this year. One of
the men who has always belonged to
the faction that opposed Beveridge
made the declaration yesterday that
all of the talk about opposition on
Beveridge 'saccount isbosh.
81 have been in many of the
countiese In Indiana he said. "and
[ have not been able to put my finger
on a single republican that will say
he is going to vote against the tick
ct this year. / do not like Bever-
ldge and he knows it. ] havealw avs
been with the otherfacti ons and am
yet; and if there was any danger
of any of these menvot ing against
Beveridge | would hear of IT. But
there is nothing of the kind. 1t
would be worse than ever co elect a
democratic legislature and send John
w. Kern to the senate. Not only
that, but ca Democratic legislator
would redistrict the state so as to
make it impossible for the republi-
cans TO control the legislature or elect
congressman in this state for anoth-
er. ten years. Men in the party who
are looking to the future and who
expect or hope to hold Office are not
pleased with such a prospect"
This same man said one of the en-
couraging features of the present ST.
uation was that the farmers of the
state are so well satisfied and pros
porous. This, he said. will work for
the good of the republican party. The
farmers, he said, have been made
prosperous by republican legislation
and under republican administration,
and they are willing TO trust their
welfare in the hands of the republic
cans. They are prosperous under the
Payne-Aldrch tariff law, he said, and
they were prosperous under the Ding
ley law and under the McKinleylaw.
They know That he republican party
enacts legislation that will be benef-'
cial to the people, farmers and others
alike, and they are willing tocontin-
he to trust the republican party to
take care of their interests, this man
explained.
Position of Farmers
The farmers, he said. have not
made up their minds that change
in the tariff laws would bring dis
aster, Theyknow that the party
would not enact detrimental legisla-
ton. He said the republicans had
made them prosperous before and
they believe that if, the republicans
make any changes will not harm
them but will make them just as
prosperous as ever.
Therefore, he said the farmers are
not worrying lover the tariff. He
says il will useless for the demo-
Gratis to undertake to show them
that the republican party is going to
do them any harm. He says also that
while the tariff will be made a big
issue by the democrats it will not
have any effect on the people, but
that the resi- issues of the campaign
will be on other lines. He agreed
that the liquor question would cut
more figures than the tariff, and that
in this issue the republicans would
