AT THE STATE CAPITAL.
indianapolis. Ind. Sept 30. That I
the Roosevelt sentiment throughout the I
state is on the decline is the report that /
is coming IN from all quarters. This +
is especially the case In the agricultur- |
al counties and IN the small towns. but |
the bull moose movement appears also /
10 be at least at a stendstnl in the |
larger cities In which the manufactur- |
ing interests are strong. There was a
time when the democrats and the re-
publtcans alike were somewhat anxious /
about the growth OF the Roosevelt |
movement In the cities and among the
workingmen. but in the last few weeks
this feeling has passed away and they
are no longer worrying about that feat
ure Of the campaign.
No Team Work.
It was feared some time ago by both
Of the old parties that Roosevelt and
Beveridge might do some team work
that would strengthen them among the
laboring people. A good many laboring
men went over TO their ticket early in
the campaign. but many Of them are
back and more are returning to the old
party ranks every day, according to re-
ports.
One of the things that have worked
to bring about this result is the fact
that Beverldge has for three years ig-
nored the demand of organized labor
that he compel non-union cigar fac
tory IN Detroit to quit using his name
as the name of cigar which IL manu-
facturers. The State Federation of La
Dor has on several occasions called this
matter to Beveridge's attention, and on
one occasion ne promised. they say, to
put a stop 10 the use of his name in
that connection. but that the cigar is
sul being manufactured and Bever-
idge's name is still on the label.
Give Him Ten Days.
The State Federation Of Labor last
week at Richmond adopted a resolution
giving Beverage ten days In which TO
put a stop to this use of his name on
non-union cigars or to make an answer
showing why he fails to do so and
news OF this action has gone all over
the state. This. Of course is bound to
do Beveridge much harm among the la
boring people, and when it harms him
IL cannot help but harm RooseveIts
chances too.
Then. another thing. in the face Of
this antagonism on the part of the
state Federation of Labor the bull
moose committee sent Beveridge to
Richmond no make a political speech
while the convention was ia session.
This was regarded hy many Of the
delegates as pure effrontery on the
part of the bull moose bosses and they
resented iii In strong terms.
Beveridge's answer to the resolution
adopted by the state Federation of La
Dor is anziously awaited but there are
many VINO believe that he win not
make any answer

of the state was the real hot-bed Of bull
