The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1910-11-01

When the Beveridge party arrived
at Valparaiso they found fully $500
people gathered in and about the Me-
mortal opera house, and wild was the
enthusiasm with which Senator Bever-
idge was cheered. Judge w. C. Nc
Mahan of Crown Point was one of the
first to greet the senator He was in
hFoduceda- by Prof. = nanieis Is yasDa4s
-aiso university, and said In part:
TO STOP PLUNDER.
"We war not only to end the rob
eracy of pIunder, the invisible govern
ment.'
"We do battle not only to end the
control of the peoples laws by that
invisible government,' but our fight
means even more than all this.
1--WE strive to stop the spread of and
to destroy a state of mind which, if it
becomes general and permanent, will
make the citizen Indifferent to his fate,
content with his vassalage.
t'The invisible government spreads n
creeping paralysis civic numbness
among the people through its agents
and connections in thousand ways
and ceaseIessiy 1T tries to deaden the
citizens aIertness, relax his watchfuI-
ness.
ALEhI.
.sThe progressive movement Is an ap-
peal to the citizen everywhere to throw
off this creeping paralysis which is
killing the civic sense in the citizens
very heart. The republic Is i'm no dam
ger with the citizen alert. 1t is in sore
peril If the citizen is asleep. The old
motto, Eternal vigilance is the price
of liberty" is empty phrase. 1t ap-
niles q "a n he soil
Always the citizen must keep the sent

! 1t was at Valparaiso that Beveridge
was compelled to speak longer than
first intended, and after speech of an
| hour, rather than thirty minutes as
/ first arranged, he was taken to the
| 3.45 Nickel Plate flyer and brought to
| Hammond, where an auto met him and
| hurried him TO Whiting where his par
| ty was entertained at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. F. n. Gavit In most hospi-
| table fashion. At $50 he spoke at the
Whiting skating rink and here he said
in part:
WILL LEAD THE NATION.
Indiana will lead the nation in her
stand for public righteousness and
against the invisible gONernm0n nl
| Let Indiana men and women not only
hold the victory already theirs, but in
| crease it up to the polling of the last
vote. This victory will mean that In
dianas people have risen to the clean
| er and higher call of the progressive
| movement, for that cleaner, higher call
is to the heart and soul of the citizen
| himself
There were fully 1900 people in the
| rink, and to the intense regret of the
Whiting people, he was compelled tC
cut his speech to fifteen minutes
Whiting gave the senator rousing re-
ception. Red fire lined the streets t.

meeting in the history of Whiting BY

who had gathered to hear Senator
Beveridge. f. \. Gavit introduced
Senator Beveridge, who crowded int
