Had Come to Hear severidse.
There were no preliminaries. The
delegates had come to hear what Sena-
tor Beverage had to say. They
knew what the platform would contain.
Beverage was the issue. Beveridge
was the convention. His prepared
speech had been jealousy guarded by
friends and press. The delegates
knew. however. that no backward step
or apology for his fight and vote in the
senate upon tariff or whatever issues
contemplated.
Defends His Attitude.
The climax of his defense OF his at
titude on the tariff came when he said
there was no virtue in compromising
with wrong and injustice and passing
OF bill that did not sanctify iniquit-
GUS schedules.
It brought the convention and gal
leries to their feet. Cheer after cheer
swept the hall; men waved hats and
shouted That's right" Good, good
and even ladies joined in the demon
stration.
1t was complete vindication of the
senator and his colleagues in their
fight, and the answer of Indiana repub-
licans to the interests that they are
solidly opposed to special privileges.
A Great ovation.
Ovations which punctuated Bever-
idge's deliverance, paled into insignifi-
canoe. compared to the demonstration
at the close of his address. The gal
leries and delegates arose, many stand
ing on chairs, cheering themselves
breathless, pausing for seconds rest
only to begin cheering again. Hats
were thrown into the air, flags and
handkerchiefs waved, women were as
enthusiastic as the men; pendemonium
triumphant reigned for several min
utes; delegates beating each others
heads in glee. "Beveridge, Beveridge''
came shouts from every throat, while
the speaker bowed acknowledgements
repeatedly until the crowd became ex-
hausted
