Indianapolis, march 1l.-Republl-
cans are anxiously awaiting the re-
publican congressional conventions in
the thirteenth and tenth districts
both of which are to be held before
the state convention convenes. The
convention of the tenth district which
Is to be held at Lafayette probably
is the most important just now. This
convention will be held at Lafayette
March % and it's Importance comes
from the fact that it is the district of
Congressman Crumpacker.
The importance of the tenth dis
trict convention is that the action TAX
en- there will probably be an index of
the action which will be taken at the
state convention. II it is possible to
agree on resolutions amicably at the
tenth district convention it probably
will be possible to do the same at the
state convention. There are few re-
publicans On the inside who do not
believe that there will be an amicable
settlement of the resolutions question
at both conventions.
Expect Tariff Fight.
Congressman Crumpacker repre-
sents Indiana on the congressional
committee and it is the congression-
al committee that is now sending out
literature to work up interest in the
tariff question. Therefore it might
be expected that fight for the tariff
question which would be made at the
tenth district convention would be as
strong as fight which would be
made at the state convention. Con-
gresham Crumpacker has been
agreed on for the denomination for
congress in the tenth and the tenth
district convention will practically be
his.
1t might be said that there is no
scrap between Senator Beveridge and
Congressman Crumpacker When it
came to making appointments in the
tenth district Congressman Crum-
packer and Senator Beverage con-
ferred with each other and when it
came time to appoint a United
States pension examiner tenth dis
trict man was appointed and he was
man satisfactory to Congressman
Crumpacker. This is one of the APP
pointments Senator Beveridge might
have made without consulting with
anyone.
Republicans. who are in touch with
the situation say there will be no
trouble in reaching an agreement in
IN ho oriff oil 1irn
are agreed on the fact that the prin-
ciple of protection is a good thing al
though there are differences of opin-
ion as to the details of the tariff
schedules which it is believed should
be in effect. The word which is go
ing the rounds is that those republi-
cans who favor the Payne-Aldrich tar
iff bill will not attempt to enforce
their views on the state convention
because the majority of the people
in the state are opposed to the SEIZED
ules in that bill. 1t is probable that
the state convention will indorse the
protective tariff theory but there will
be no attempt whatever to indorse
any particular tariff enactment. AS a
matter of fact it is said that this
question has been pretty thoroughly
thrashed out by those leaders who
have favored the Payne-Aldrich bill
and that they believe that an indorse-
ment of the protective tariff theory
will be about the sentiment of the del
egates to the state convention.
That Marshall Statement.
The statement of Governor Marsh
all in favor Of having the state con-
vention nominate the candidate of the
party for United States senator is
regarded as challenge rather than a
suggestion and it is expected that be-
fore the state convention Of the demo.
Gratis rolls around every democrat of
prominence in the state will seek to
express his views publicly in regard
to the matter. Many democrats are
sorry that the question has ever been
raised because it accentuates the
