AT THE HOTELS.

Al lHE HOlELS.
A prominent figure in the deliberations
of the Constitution Grand Lodge, BuaJ
Birth, In session here, is Marcus r.
sulzer, OF Madison, Ind. Mr.. sulzer is
known and popular all over Indiana. He
was member Of the Republican State
committee in the historic Harrison cam
paign. and has been president OF the
Republican clubs. ana while a member
of the legislature was the leader in
whose nelghborhoOd the opposition al
ways saw ed fire burning. He ran
against Holman in the last race that
the old watch dog OF the Treasury made
for Congress. and came near being
elected.
1.-THE Republican State convention this
week" he said last night. will be the
first in twenty years that have failed
to attend and as a delegate I would have
been there. but thought I could be
spared
1.-The Beverage men. or rather the
people for Beverage, will heartily indorse
him in convention, and if mis- name could
be submitted directly to the electorate
he would sweep the State by an over
whelniing majority believe his popu-
| larity is such that a legislature friendly
TO him will be elected, On the tariff
question, the Republicans Of the state
have not been converted TO free trade.
We are stin protectionists. but not mo-
nopoIists.
Gov. Marshall has done us the favor
Of driving the Democrats into a hole by
demanding that the State convention
name a candidate for Senator. and II
they do so they viii make heartaches
among the many disappointed and pos
sibly in the short time they have make
a mistake. and IL they refuse-and they
certainly will-then. controlled. as the
committee is. by Thomas Taggart, il
will be claimed, and 1 think truthfuly,
that Taggart himself will claim the SEN
atorship in the event OF Democratic sue
cess
"Beveridge is conceded to be honest, and
in point of ability towers high above his
fellows. so in fight with the lines drawn
between him and Taggart he will win.
President Taft is well liked and cred
| tied by our people with sincerity and
honesty of purpose, but any attempt
made 10 weaken Beveridge in the State
by advocacy OF the Payne-Aldrich bin
will be considered by our people as an
attempt not 10 help the President but
to defeat Beveridge and make Indiana
Democratic in this campaign, and. OF
course, Democratic in 1872 But II Bev-
eridge and, with him, the other Republic
can candidates carry Indiana this time
IL will be easy for President Taft 10
sweep the Hoosier state in 1872"
Robert H Gardner. Of Seattle, Wash,
who is at the Raleigh, in speaking Of
America as a wheat grower said last
night: THE falling of in the exports
from this country Of wheat is me- caused
by lack of demand for the American
product. but TO the great increase in
wheat consumption In the United States.
/ This is due in part 10 an increase in
population much more rapid than the
| increase in the wheat-producing area,

persons to whom the price is not a factor
prefer corn dodgers TO wheat bread, q
! decided increase IN the demand for -four
has resulted from the prosperity OF the
working classes in the South.
eTha change from the oId-fashioned
cradle to the modern machine that cuts,
thrashes, and sacks wheat has served
TO reduce the price Of production. Ameri-
/ ca has not only led IN the invention and
! use of machinery, but our manufac-
turers have sent agents ali over the world
| in the effort TO introduce the most mod
ern machinery into all countries. Some
Of the wheat countries are still far be-
hind While the average net profit upon
the American crop is between s. and s.
an acre. that of the whole world is but
s1.25. In Italy and India wheat is often
produced at a loss and is cultivated only
because a greater loss is entailed in i'm
