BEVER|DGE IS To
ARRIVE TOMORROW
And Begin His Indiana Cam
paign. - Vermont Pro-
gressives Want Him.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. %
Albert J. Beverage, Progressive NOM
inee for Governor of Indiana, will ar
rive in Indianapolis tomorrow, when
he will launch at once into the work
of the campaign. Mr.. Beverage has
been at Seal Harbor, Me-, since the
Progressive national convention.
The return of Mr.. Beveridge to In
diana really will mark the opening of
the Progressive party campaign in
this state. Immediately upon his ar
rival there will be a series of confer
ences with party leaders, and these
probably will continue throughout
next week.
Mr.. Beveridge will confer with the
district chairmen, the candidates on
the state tickets and. the county lead
ers.
The former senator will make no
speeches until week after next, when
he will begin stumping the state. His
secretaries are arranging his itinerary
in connection with the Progressive
state speakers bureau under the di-
rection of Frank J. Doudican.
1t is said the campaign Mr.. Beve-
ridge has directed his secretaries to
arrange is the most strenuous ever
undertaken by a candidate in Indiana.
He will speak practically everywhere
throughout the state, as arrangements
are being made for him to address
gatherings in every county, and in
many counties he will make several
speeches.
Great Demand For Beveridge.
A countrywide and insistent de-
mand for speeches by Mr.. Beverage
has precipitated a controversy be-
tween the Progressive national COM
mittee and the Indiana Progressive
committee over the question of Mr..
Beveridge's time during the campaign
Mr.. Beveridge, according to the Pro-
gressives in Indiana, is their greatest
asset as a speaker, personality and
fighting leader.
Mr.. Beveridge spoke Wednesday at
Burlington, Vt. and the Vermont Pro
gressives are clamoring for more Bev-
eridge speeches. 1t is being asked
that Mr.. Beveridge return to Vermont
and continue to speak there a part OF
next week. The Vermont people have
state election early in September
and the Progressives are hopeful that
they may be able to win. They count
en- Beveridge's logic and eloquence to
assist them materially. Mr.. Beveridge
yesterday talked from New York city
with Progressive leaders in Indiana
and consulted State Chairman Lee as
to the Vermont demands.
Indiana Progressives are planning
for Beveridge meetings in Hoosier
dom. They say they do not propose
to permit other states to monopolize
the speaking dates of their chosen
spokesman in chief.
People Are Subscribing.
Popular subscriptions are being re-
ceived at Progressive state headquar
tiers, although no formal appeal for
funds has been made by the state cen
trail committee. Many persons, how.
ever, DESTROYS to lend material aid to
the new party, have sent their dona
tons without having been requested to
do so.
About a dozen contributions were
received in the mails yesterday. They
ranged from 81 to s25. Some were
from farmers, while others came from
business men and laborers.
1T is gratifying to note the interest
among the people of Indiana in the
new party said. Harvey B. Stout Jr.
secretary of the committee, land the
people are showing their interest by
sending contributions to assist in the
expenses of the campaign. The con
tr1butions are appreciated. Any
amount will be received with graft
tude. There is considerable expense
connected with the campaign, and the
funds to meet it must come from the
rank and file of the party and from
in sym With
