WILL TAFT ASSAULT >
SENATOR BEVERlOCE?
1t Is Feared Executive May
Attempt to Discipline Him
For His Vote Against the
Tariff Statute.

Indianapolis. Ind. Jan. 6.-Dispatch.
IS from Washington stating that Presi-
dent Taft will make war on the repub-
lican insurgents in congress who are
opposed to his legislative program, has
added to the uneasiness OF the leaders
of his party in Indiana 1t is feared
the president may attempt to discipline
Senator Albert J. Beveridge because OF
his vote against the Payne-Aldrich
bill.
The insurgent sentiment Is growing
rapidly in Indiana. because Of the
enormous amount Of printed matter
that is pouring in from all directions.
for the purpose of creating sentiment
against the Payne-Aldrich-Ca Cannon pro-
gram.
II is said now that the Hemenway.
Watson Fairbanks element would like
nothing better than to start a ruction
openly against Senator Beveridge, but
they are confronted with the resolution
| of the convention which made him the
party's candidate for the vacancy that
will arise when his term expires. It
| is declared also that the Hemenway
| contingent did not consent to the in
dorsement of Senator Beveridge until
| it was convinced that the Endorsement
! of their own candidate would be with
held unless Beveridge was included.
Meet knotty Problem.
| In the absence OF definite informa-
| tion that the president is going to
make war on Senator Beveridse along
with the rest of the insurgents. the
problem before the republican powers
that be is much more complicated than
it was.
| The bare possibility OF a change in
the distribution OF patronage in Indi-
ana is proving sufficient to stir the
large army OF the faithful job hunters
to fever heat Of excitement
| II Senator Beveridge is to be placed
in the list of the insurgents. from
whom the patronage is to be withheld,
it was predicted here today that there
will be a political row among the re-
publicans the like OF which never has
been witnessed in Indiana.
| Party leaders who have not been TAX
ing a hand in the plans for the reor-
ganization declared that any effort on
the part of President Taft to deprive
Senator Beveridge Of the patronage be-
cause OF his vote on the tariff bill viii
merely add to Senator Beveridge's
strength before the people in his own
state.
Leaders speeulatino.
II was intimated that tho members
OF the old organization who have been
regarded as the stand-pat element.
may have suspected a breach between
the president and Senator BeveridGe
on patronage matters when they de-
cided not to have the state committee
reorganized until the latter part Of this
month.
}, BY delaying matters as long ~ pos
sible. it is said that they figure that
something might have happened 1t
Washington that would add to the DIFF
: ficulties of Senator Beveridge in get
ting an Organization that would be
. truly loyal to him In the fight this
, year.
However. Senator Beveridge's fol-
lowers refuse to believe that he Will
be placed on the TAFT insurgent black
!, list. They say that. in spite Of his
vote against the Fayne-Aldrich bill,
the relations between Senator Bever.
idge and President Taft are cordial,
and that on other matters Of legisla-
. ton they are agreed.
