Selection OF Roosevelt.
Indianapolis, March 14.-In a force
tul speech delivered In this city Wed
nesday night Senator Albert J. Bev
ertdgs declared himself In favor OF
the nomination. by the Republican ma
tionai eouvsntion. OF Theodore Roose
vet for the presidency OF the United
States The senator said:
IA party men We want to win. Al
citizens We want the great forward
movement IN American Life to 60 on
1has II Why We want. a. our candi
date for President, the leader OF that
movement and tAe man who surely
can bc elected Theodore Roosevelt
What Republican do Democratic
politicians most fear? The mere
prospsct Of Roosevelt's nomination
scared the Democratic politicians 30
badly that they actually proposed to
put on the date OF the Democratic
national c0nventton. Before then.
they believed that they would have q
valkaway next November.
But this II NO mere struggle for
political once. It II no ordinary
party contest The welfare of q ma
tion u wrapped up In this fight. The
prosperity Of honest business and the
daily bread Of wage-earners Is in
volved. II We. nominate a candidate
who will be beaten, the result will be
what happened to tho country once
before under the same conditions.
Republican defeat In 1912 would
mean just what it did in 1892
-Four such years will be hard
enough on the hundreds OF thousands
Of honest business men Ol the coun-
try but 1t will be harder on the mill
lions Of men who earn their bread by
the sweat Of their faces. To these
latter Il will mean the touch Of hun
Ger. Add to these four lean years
two more years TO recover from them.
Take these six years out Of the life
OF . business man ffty years of age
and you have taken from him much;
but take SIX years out OF the life Of

Dusiness Justics Essential.
This country's chief commercial
need today In steady. honest business
conditions. But there can be no bus
mess peace until there k business
justice. Uncertainty Is the worst foe
OF honest business: and there can be
no certainty under our present busi-
ness laws. We must have just and
modern laws which will let honest
business know what II can do on the
one hand; and hep out Of the pock-
cts OF the people the criminal fingers
OF lawless interests on tho other
hand.
n we concede that any candidate
that We nAme will stand for such
business reform, still the practical
question comes ~ to which candidate
can be elected. and. when elected.
ca get these needed reforms written
into laws. Roosevelt can do both.
some good men think right and mean
well but cannot get things done.
Roosevelt has the gift OF achieve
ment- It II not = question OF whom
We shall. honor most but who can
serve us best business peace and
steady prosperity mean more TO us
than any mans political fortune.
Some unnecessary heat has been
worked up because public men have
discussed remedies for admitted evils
that have developed In our judicial
system So far from being dangerous
this discussion. like all free discus
sion. can only result In good; for out

exist But IL is not this wholesome
that Is the pressing and
immediate issue SO much az the na-

laws which will give our whole peo-
