Teddy Promises to Go TO Indiana
to Help Re-elect Progress
i've" Senator.
INSURGENTS APPARENTLY
HAVE THE UPPER HAND
Indications Are That Former
President Is With the 0p-
pOnents of Mr.. Taft.


J. Beveridge, United States senator from
Indiana. and one OF the most prominent
and consistent of the progressive" Re-
publicans. came down from Sycamore Hill
this afternoon with a promise from Theo-
dore Roosevelt to deliver a campaign
speech In his favor IN his night for re-
election to the senate. Mr.. Beyeridge
departed content and smiling, but he left
1t for the colonel to make tho announce
ment of the proposed campaign speech In
the senator's behalf.
This Is what Mr.. Roosevelt said:
"Mr. Goulke and Mr.. Swift came 10
Sycamore Hill last night and spent the
night here They came TO request me
to go to Indiana and speak in behalf OF
Senator Beveridge. promised them I
would"
He added that he had agreed today to
make only one speech for the senator.

been fixed.

his fight for reelection as an insurGent.
He Is opposed by John w. Kern. who
ran with Bryan in the last campaign.
In his fight for senator he is placing
himself squarely against President Taft
on the tariff measure. The law. which
the president has defended as the best
tarifr measure ever enacted. is denounced
ridge. and the same Republican state con-
vention that Endorsed Beverdge for an
other term virtually repudiated the law.
In the senate Beveridge fought the bill
TO the last and then voted against II.
II is pointed out however. with this
exception, President Taft and the sena-
tor from Indiana have been pulling to-
gether on administrative policies. There
has been no break between them. The
president entrusted to the senator the
conduct OF two administration bills at the
last session OF congress-the statehood
bill and the Aiaskan government bill.
And although the senator worked faith
