dent of the Associated Building Trades,
refuses to commit himself or the or

ORGANIZED LABOR TO- STAND
BY SENATOR BEVER|DGE

men will vote the Republican ticket
this year to help to send Beveridge
back to the senate. One OF the leaders
of the tin workers gave this informa-
tion few days ago to man who was
inquiring into the political situation
in that county. He said the attitude of
these men was taken because of an
effort which was made by Senator Bev-
eridge to have amendment made to
the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill which met
their approval. Beveridge was not sue
cessful in his effort. but they know
that he did all he could to have the
amendment adopted. 1t is known as an
anti-rebate amendment.

and every time he paid for drink
he produced twenty-doIlar bill.
When the robbery was discovered
Captain Mulcahey and Detective
Schmidt got on the trail of the ne
groes, but they succeeded in eluding
them last evening. Quite a pistol bat
tie was fought and early this morning
the police captured two negroes, Alex

Both Congressman crumpacker and
District Chairman Hickey were very
optimistic over the prospects in this
district and said that the outlook was
never brighter.
Mr.. Hickey said. "Of course. there is
a little trouble here and there that we
have to contend with, but that is al
ways the case. There has never been
a campaign where a few sore spots
were not discovered, but the outlook
was never brighter, and after tour
of the district I am willing to go on
record as being completely satisfied
with the situation"
MUCH INTEREST TAKEN.
More than usual interest is being
taken in the candidacy of Congress-
man E. D. Crumpacker this year, owing
to the fact that the other congressman
of the state have pledged him their
support for the speakership of the
house next fall.
The opinion seems to be that Crum-
packer has a splendid chance to win
this high honor, and that the Tenth
district of Indiana admitted to be one
of the most important in the stats on
account of its marvellous industrial de-
veiopment. viii be the home of the next
speaker of the house.
