The resolutions adopted in the af-
ternoon gave the strongest endorse
ment passible to the Taft admins
tration and on this the editors were
unanimous. The resolutions were
as follows:
'We endorse heartily and unresrve-
edly the patriotic and progressive
administration Of President William
II. Taft, and pledge to it the loyal
support Of the Republican Press Of
Indiana. No administration has
been characterized by larger achieve

consideration and settlement of
questions vitally affecting the well

We note with qualification the in.

great work in which the President
has been and is now engaged, and
we predict that the administration

We earnestly appeal to all the

Indiana citizenship.
The Democratic legislative maiori-

liquor interests, and in defiance of
the will of the people as clearly ex.

We deplore the tragic death of
David Graham Phillips, journalist,
author and among the foremost
men of the day in literature. Today
his memory is being honored at his
funeral service by the Literary World

in newspaper work in America and
Europe. He realized his ambition
as an author and we deplore his
death as a loss to the press as well
as to the country
