as now. the issue is a clean-cut one Of
principle Il feel that you Wit win this

You can vote for the Congressman
who are running directly, but the only
way 10 vote for Senator Beveridge is TO
vote for the men who are running on the
legislative ticket with him. I have seen

have a majority in the legislature. he
wouldn't be elected. I have just come
from Illinois. where they tried that game.

infamy." shouted Mr.. Roosevelt
Il have come here TO speak for Senator
Beverage because I so emphaticauy be-
lieve in the cause for which he stands

Of Office, was one of the men whom I
could rely upon for vote when it was
necessary TO count up votes"

he voted in accordance with the views OF
the bulk of the people" was the way
the colonel defended Beverages tariff

by the time the next Presidential
election comes around. the platform Of
our party win be precisely the platform
on which Mr.. Beveridge stands. I have
never said anything before election that
haven't tried TO justify after election
