Endorsement of Former Vice
President as States Choice
with Pledge from
Kentucky

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Dec. S0.-Former
Vice President Charles w. Fairbanks
was endorsed at a love feast today as
Indiana's choice for the Republican
nomination for President and at the

ing the largest theater in the state. Ed

tional convention at Chicago next June.
MIR. Fairbanks was given noisy
ovation when he responded to an invi-
tation to speak after his name had
been proposed for the Presidential
nomination by Edwin p. Morrow of
Kentucky.
United as of Old
The people have tried democracy,
said Mr.. Fairbanks when the enthusi-
asm had quoted sufficiently for him
to begin, land Democracy has tried
them. The result has been a reunited,
re- baptised party Of opposition. There
is no divided Republicanism here-we
are reunited as of old
His speech was very brief, but he
DEATH vigorously with the leading
questions. He urged the necessity Of
not only adeuate national preparedness
against hostile invasion. but also ade-
uate national protection against in
dustrial invasion. In suggesting
platform for the Republicans in 1916,
Mr. Fairbanks said:
I'VE must maintain campaign pol
lev lust and firm. We must make ade-
ouate preparation on land and sea for
q national defense measured by our ma
tional needs. We must adept protec-
tive tariff measure which shall safe
guard our industries and supplement
the resources of the public treasury
and guard US against inundation at the
end Of the European war. We must
proceed to adopt a broad. enlightened
policy for extending American mar
kets. particularly into the Orient and
into South America. We must put
rreat merchant marine on the seas
which will give us a vast carrying
trade into the markets of the world
Above all. there must be prosperity
and high living standards for Ameri-
can workers"
