Oyster Bay. N. Y, July S.-Albert
j. Beveridge, United States senator
from Indiana, and one of the most
prominently consistent of the pro
gressive" Republicans, came down
from tSagamore Hill this afternoon
with promise from Theodore
Roosevelt to deliver campaign
speech in his fight for reelection to
the senate. Mr.. Beveridge departed
content and Smiling, but he left it
for the Colonel to make announce
ment of the proposed campaign
speech in the senator's behalf; and
this Is what Mr.. Roosevelt said:
"Mr. Foulke and Mr.. Swift came to
Sagamore Hill last night and spent
the night here. They came to re-
| quest me to 60 to Indiana and speak
In behalf Of Senator Beveridge. I
promised them I would"
He added that he had agreed today
to make only one speech for the sem
ator, and as far as Is now known he
will make only one. The time and
place for this speech have not been
| fixed.
Those who have followed the poll
tical conferences at Oyster Bay, since
Theodore Roosevelt's return. share
the belief that ne has been feeling
his way cautiously in his attitude
toward the administration. and the
insurgents. but today's incident is
considered the most important yet de-
veloped. Senator Beveridge is maxi
ing his fight for reelection az an "in-
sursent." He is opposed by John w.
Kern. who ran with Bryan in the
last campaign.
In his fight the senator Is placing
himself squarely against President
Taft In 80 far as the tariff law fig-
ures. The law which the President
has defended as tho hest tariff meas
ure ever" Is denounced without equi-
vocation by the senator and the same
Republican State convention which
endorses Beveridge for another term
virtually repudiated the law. In the
Senate Beveridge fought tho bill To
the last. and then voted against 1t.
1T Is pointed out, however, that
and the senator from Indiana have
been pulling together as far as ad-
ministration policies are concerned.
There has been no break between
them. The President entrusted to
the senator the conduct Of two admin
istration measures at the last session
OF Congress-the Statehood bill and
the Alaska government bill. And al
though the senator worked faithfully
with the "insurgent" band in the SEN
ate and had a hand in the alteration
OF President Taft's railroad bill, he
supported the administration regu-
larly In the last session when the
votes were taken.
Sycamore Hill was fairly swarming
all day with men of various political
persuasion. They came by train and
by automobile. They talked politics
all day long. but as they left town
they were unanimously reticent when
asked to tell what they knew. Cor
rectly Oyster Bay is enve!oped in an
atmosphere Of deep mystery.

What Will They Do Win It.

Yesterdays election place the democratic party in overWhelm- ing control of the constitutional convention.
 This is a country in Which the majority rules, and where it must rule if the republic is to endure. and he is a poor sort of citizen who does not accept with cheer ful acduiesence the verdict of the majority.
 The one concern of this paper, and of every thoughtful republi- can, has been for Statehood.
 The one question. therefore; in the mind of every republican is: What will the democrats do with tbeir victory?
 If the democrats carry cut their campaign promises, Statehood will be surely lost. The democrats have promised to make the cafd- inal feature of their constitution, the system of direct legislation on the Oregon Oklahoma plan.4
 They cannot keep this promise and achieve Statehood. Indeed, The Republican has knowledge that they GO not in- tend to keep their promise. Democratic councils are some what divided as to the ''slickest" method of evading this promise. The men in control of their cam paign were unanimous on one point only, and this point was,

Elections And Primaries Have Cost Standpatters Fifteen Seats.
Five Standpat Senators Have Retired and One Has Been Beaten for Renominat- ton, While Two Cannon Democratic
 Have Been Retired.

Washington, Sept. 13, Flee tions and primaries so far held have cost the Republican stand patters thirteen seats in the two houses of Congress. Five stand pat senators willnot be candidates for reelection and one standpat representative has withdrawn since his nomination. This is a total of nineteen seats already lost to the Cannon Democrats who were defeated for renomin- adon in Georgia. Two elections last spring elected Democrats to succeed standpat Republicans who died.
 Missouri set the pace February 1 when the Sixth District elected c. c. Dickson ot Congress over a standpat Republican by a larger plurality then the popular David A. DeArmond ever had, 3, 778 to DeArmonds 1, 995 in 1908. Eugene N. Foss. Democrat, was elected to Congress in Republican district from Massach- usetts on March P, 1910, by a plurality of 5.64O.
 James s. Haven, Democrat, was elected to Congress in Re- publican district from New York over Boss Aldridge in April. I1910, by a plurality of 5, 831.
 AN EVEN BREAK IN THREE STATES. Next were the primaries in the two Dakotas. which left the situation there exactly as,is was except that Representative .Gronna was nominated for sent kator over stapdpatter for seat now held by a Democrat, There Twas no change Tn Nebraska.
 Then Iowa spoke, returning all of it's progressive representa- tives and adding more by defeat ing J. T. Hull, a'standpatter.
 Kansas came next and before the votes were counted, Charles F. Scott, ". A. Calderhead, William A. Reeder and J. M. Miller knew they were defeated by progressives.
 California kept up the good work, defeating such standpat- ters as Duncan Mckinley and James McLacklan and putting up progressive candidate to suc- ceed Senator Flint, a standpat- ter, who was not a candidate.
 FIVR TO RETIRE.
 Ralph D, Cole was beaten in Ohio. William H. Stafford in Wis consin and Thomas R. Homer in Idaho. and Joseph Sibley was forced. to withdraw in Pennsylv- aniaI Iohn P. Swayze and E. c. Burleigh were deated in the Maine election by Democrats.
 Senator Burrows was defeated for renomination in Michigan by a progressive and Senator Hale of Maine, Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island, Senator Flint of California, Senator Pile of Wash ington and Senator Warner of Missouri will. not be candidates for re-elec4ion.
 SOME OTHER RESULTS.
 Some of the other results are /. that Maine has gone Democratic, while the Republicans carried Vermont by the smallest mairity since 1872.
 La FOlleCte, progressive, was renominated for senator from Wisconsin by a majority of fifty thousand over his ''standpat" opponent.
 Bass, progressive Republican candidare for governor, carried the New Hampshire primaries by a vote nearly double that of the Republican machine candidate.
