ROLL CALL OF REACTION
Beveridge Read Record in 1914
Same Story This Year Silences
Orator.

Beverldge is to speak in lnkana Tor
Senator Jim" Watson. to urge Mr.
Watson for six years more in the
United States Senate We do not be-
lieye Mr.. Beveridge will speak for
Watson in Indiana or for the Watson
crowd.
We are told Mr. Beveridge is to
campaign in Indiana for Warren G..
Harding for president. 1t doesn't
look possible.
in 1914 on September IA, at Terre
Haute, Mr.. Beveridge very plainly
set forth the good reasons why he
can not make such speeches as he is
reported to contemplate making in
Indiana. In that remarkable speech
Mr.. Beyeridge called the rolf of
Republican leadership, at a time
when, as he said, they 1.-THE Repub-
lican leaders, declare that the Re
publican party has cleansed itself of
those leaders and influences which

Let the roll call answer this" said
Mr.. Beveridge, and he then called
the roll as follows:
In Maine, the Hale-Burleigh ma
chine is more firmly in the Repub-
lican saddle than ever-Maine, into
which. this moment scores OF thou
sands of dollars are being poured by
evil interests to corrupt this weeks
election
In Massachusetts the Crane-Lodge
Weeks machine is in absolute com
mand of the Republican party.
''In Connecticut Senator Brandegee
is the Republican candidate to sue
ceed himself -Brandegee, who was
and is an Aldrich lieutenant, who
stands for all that Aldrich stood for
!. and worse. (Brandegee is once more
on the ticket this year,
In New Hampshire Senator Gal.
linger is the Republican candidate to
succeed himself-Gallinger dean Of
all the reactionaries in congress.
Raps Barnes and Root.
: 'In New York the Barnes-Root
combine owns the Republican party
in fee simple hold in my hand the
New York newspapers hostile TO the
Progressive party, each of which
states that the recent Republican con-
; ventiOn was machine convention
ruled by Barnes and Root; and every
] body knows that the sO-called retire
ment' of Boss Barnes from the New
York state committee, but who is still
New York's national Republican com
mitteeman, is a cheap trick which
pulls the wool over the eyes Of none
except those already blind. Barnes
will name-already has named-the
Republican candidates for governor
/ and senator from New York.
In Pennsylvania Penrose is the Re-
publican candidate to succeed him
self and the notorious Republican
Pennsylvania machine is stronger to-
day than In many years. (Penrose
named the 1920 Republican Presiden-
tial candidate over a private personal
telephone wire from his Philadelphia
home to the Chicago convention.)
In OHIO, HARDING OF CHI

DISCIPLE AND UNDERSTUDY OF

REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR
SENATOR.
In Illinois, Cannon, Mckinley,
Mann and others of the oligarchy
which overthrow the Republican

Beveridge speech.
r IF Penrose is a Republican, Cum
Minis cannot be- declared Mr.. Bev-
eridge. If Watson is a Republican, If
Harding is a Republican. what is Mr..
Beveridge. The 1914 speech Is the
answer.
, Contrary to popular opinion ii is not
desirable under present conditions TO
increase the speed of freight-carrying
steamships; the despised ocean tramp
is really commercial triumph. The
analysis set forth in a paper read be-
fore the Institution OF Engineers and
Shipbuilders in Scotland made clear
not long ago that any fast vessel carry
ing freight in competition with a ship
of very moderate speed suffers the dis
advantage OF higher prime costs. Un-
der current stipI2ations the most eco
nomical speed for an ordinary freight
