Indiana daily times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1914-1922, 1920-08-31

If any person in Indiana doubts that
| the policy of the Wilson administration
is without favor among Hoosiers, that
| doubt was without question wiped en-
tirely away after hearing the vice presi-
Dental candidate present his views on
the questions confronting the voters
today.
Mr.. Roosevelt and his party left i'm
mediately following the Indianapolis
speech last night for Columbus, where
he was 10 confer with Gov. Cox.
The audience that heard the address
was composed of republicans and demo-
Gratis, with a large number of indie
pendent voters, and more enthusiastic
crowd never greeted a speaker in old
Tomlinson hall.
At each mention of the name of Wood
| row Wilson, the speaker was forced TO
stop until the cheers and applause had
died down before he could proceed.
Candidate Roosevelt was given a rising
ovation when he entered the call.
He was introduced, by John II. Holli-
day. founder Of the indianapolis News,
and president Of the board of directors
Of the Union Trust Company.
Mr. Roosevelt dwelt at length on COM
ditions as he found them in his eighteen
day tour of the west, during which time
he covered fifteen states.
GRANDPA VOTER
BECOMING EXTINCT.
II find that people nowadays, more
than ever before, are getting away from
the grandpa idea in voting.
mo longer do they vote a certain way
because grandpa voted that way.
why just a few years ago there were
people who voted the republican ticket,
who actually thought that Abraham Lin
coin was stiH living, and viii confess
that down south there were many demo-
Gratis that thought Andrew Jackson was
still among us.
There is widespread feeling through
out the west that the next president OF
the United States must be a progressive.
and that he must carry on the work
started ander the administration of
Woodrow Wilson.
And they know that they can not hope
to find this progressivism in the repub-
lican candidate, for they know that the
cards are stacked against progressivism
In the republican party.
During senator Harding's entire serv,
ice in the senate he had introduced but
very few measures, and the majority of
them were related to the safety of fur,
hearing animals. and other like legisla-
tion.
The people of the west know that
they can expect no progressivism in the
party that was controlled at Chicago by
your own jim Watson of Indiana.
They are wondering what the repub-
licans mean by going back to the good
old days
"Will they take the federal reserve act
and substitute It by reviving the old
Aldrich biIlf"
The speaker referred to the 1916 cam
paign in the west, and refuted the
charges that the defeat of the republican
party in California I'm 1916 was due to, the
failure Of Senator Hiram Johnson to
shake hands with Candidate Hughes.
He declared that the defeat was due
10 the people themselves. who hold the
same view now, that they can find no
hope for progreSsivism in the republican
party. and from Senator Harding.
TARIFF BOGEY
Up AGAIN?
As an instanre to prove that the
republican party is not contemplating
any reform legislation. Mr.. Roosevelt
referred to the statement emanating from
the Harding front porch that credits the
