indianapolis, July 5.-Democrats are
trying to make It appear that there is
q lack OF harmony between President
Taft and Senator Beveridge and that
this will prove to be serious matter
IN the campaign in Indiana this year.
When Congressman Crumpacker was
here few days ago attending a con-
ference of the republican congression-
al candidates he took the wind out OF
this story by pointing to the fact that
at the recent session Of congress Sem
ator Beveridge stood in line for the
presidents legislative program, and
that the only thing he opposed was
the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill as 1t was
presented In congress.
The fact is that when Senator Bev-
eridge came home from Washington
q week or more ago he issued a state
ment In which he pointed out the
great work done by the recent ses-
sion Of congress. He said the session
had enacted much good law. and con-
graduated President Taft and the re-
publican party on the splendid record
which was made there. He was pro
fuse In his praise Of President Taft.
This does not look much like lack OF
harmony between the president and
senator Beveridge It Ia believed that
the democrats will have hard time In
carrying out their task Of setting one
part OF the republican party against
the other In this campaign in this
manner.
esvsrIdge on Vacation.
Senator Beveridge made a Fourth OF
July speech at Anderson yesterday and
left Immediately for Washington. So
important was his visit to Washington
at this time that he could not take
time to return to Indianapolis before
leaving for the east. He went from
Anderson across the country In an au-
tomobile to Greenfield, where he
caught the Pennsylvania fast train for
the east. This train does not stop at
Greenfield as a regular thing. but ar
rangements were made to
have 1t stop yesterday and take the
senator aboard. He goes to Wash
ington where he will arrive this after
noon, and then he will go to New
York. Some Of the politicians here say
there is politics in his hurry.away trip.
but II Is said that he wished to stop at
Washington to look after some busi-
ness before going to Dublin, N. H., to
Join his family for their summer va
cation.
While ne was here Senator Bever-
idge made a careful and thorough can
vess Of the political situation In this
state. and he satisfied himself that the
prospects for Republican success In
Indiana this year are fine He has
talked with hundreds of men from all
over the state. His office was the
mecca for delegations and politicians
from nearly every county. They came
In to discuss with the Senator the sit
uation In their respective districts and
counties. and he says that they all
brought encouraging news.
Senator 10 Optimistic.
81 tell you we are going to carry In
diana by n great big plurality" he
said. There Is no question about It,.
! have talked with men from all over
the state and have looked the entire
field over. and II Ia certain that the
Republicans will carrx Indiana"
Senator Beveridge never was in a
more optimistic humor regarding poll
tics than he Is right now. since he can.
vassed the situation in Indiana While
ne is at Dublin this summer he will
take a good rest and prepare much of
the campaign material which he will
use In his speeches.
For several months Senator Bever-
idee has had the belief that Indiana
would so Republican this fall, but
while he talked that way there were
others who could not see II In the same
light. Congressman crumpacker was
one that felt that the Republicans
stood a slim chance OF carrying Ind
iana. and there we're many others. But
when he was here last week Crumpack.
er said ne had made a careful investi-
cation OF conditions and that he had
found that conditions were much bet
ter than he had believed. He,eays
now that the Republicans have the bet
ter OF the situation and that ne Is con-
fident that they will win by hand.
some margin.
Rooseveits Attitude.
Much interest Is manifested here in
the fact that since his return to this
country Theodore Roosevelt has held
conferences with Republicans who are
supposed to represent both the ''regu.
lars" and the insurgents" No one
pretends TO know anything about wha,
Aas transpired at any Of these confer.
