The insurgents under Senator AL
bert ]. Beveridge achieved a sig
nal triumph in Indiana today. Al
the Republican State Convention
held in the stronghold OF Fair
Banks, Hemenway, Durbin and
Watson, the insurgents carried
all before them in one determined
charge.
Senator Beveridge threw the
assemblage which filled Tolnlin-
son hall into greatest excitemenl
when twice, in what probably
was the greatest speech of his hfs
there occurred the name OF Theo.
dore Roosevelt-author of the
policies which Beverage is striv-
ing to perpetuate. Each time the
flag decked hall rang with deep
throated cheers for the Rough
Rider for minutes.
Again the hall resounded with
applause for Beverage, when he
scored the powers of pillage" in
Republican and Democratic
ranks alike with bitter phrase
The name of Taft gained ap-
plause which rose to a shout but
died down quickly. Senator Bev
eridge had the crowd with him
People United Against Pillage'
The senior senator never was
more compelling in his oratory
than he was today. His little
finger quivered with earnestness
when, pointing his forehnger sky
ward, he shouted:
THE coming battle is not 81
much between political parties
as much as between the right
of the people and the powers o
pillage."
The building trembled from
the applause this declaration
brought forth.
Again the crowd roared its ap
prevail when, OF an organization
of politicians banded together
for selfish profit, Senator Beve'
ridge said:
Such an organization is not {
party, it Is a band of brigands
Such organizations and men art
the tools and agents of lawless
interest which know no party
which attempt to use all parties
and which practice only the poll
cies of profit"
Senator Beverage was merci-
less in his denunciation of a tariff
which "exacts exorbitant price:
for necessities which everybody
in this country needs, but which
nobody can produce" 1t was il
this way that he answered the
Democratic demands for a tariff
of revenue only and appealed fol
a common sense revision OF the
tariff ito give more to the people
and less to the interests
The adjournment of the con-
vention was followed by much
speculation as to the result OF the
failure to indorse local option law
and many of the delegates from
dry counties believed that its ef-
feet would be bad for the party
possibly causing a big slump
to the prohibitionists. There was
little dissatisfaction over the ig-
noring OF the Payne-Aldrich law
and the delegates generally
thought it was the best thing that
could have been done, though
they regretted that the party had
enacted a law which it could not
approve in convention.
