REEERLDCE CLUBS BEING
ORGANIZED IN INDIANA
Movement to Send Him Back
to Senate Is Growing.

Special Dispatch 20 THE NEW YORK HEEALD.
INDIANAPoLrs, Jan. I4.--Albert Bere-
ridge has been out of politics since 1914.
although he made a few speeches for
Harding and Coolidge last year. Dur
ing most OF thar time he has been en-
gagged on his biographical work, '-The
Life of John Marshall" in four volumes,
the last of which were printed in 1919.
Before that he had been known as one
OF the foremost orators In America, close
friend Of Theodore Roosevelt. chairman
Of the Progressive Convention of 1919
and associate Of Roosevelt in the Fro
gressive party campaign. He had served
two terms as Senator. the last OF

cratic In 1910 and sent Benjamin II.
Shively to the Senate
In the last year Mr.. Beveridge has
been taking an Increasing interest, in
public affairs. confining his attention
mainly to Indiana, although appearing
outside the, State in few instances.
During the year he has lectured in
almost every town in Indiana on John
Marshall and on his work, '"rhe Bible
as Good Reading. In none of these
lectures has he mentioned politics. but
the lectures have served to give him
almost unprecedented hearings for a
man outside OF politics.
In the town of Muncie call was
issued by business men some time ago
for organisation Of a "Bevertdge for
Senator" club. ana 1900 persons turned
out. These clubs seem to be springing
UP all over the State, without the in
spiration of a central political COM
mittee, although w. c. Bobbs and other
prominent Indianapolis men are doing
all they can to promote the Beveridye
sentiment without actually starting Il
formal campaign
This shows to some extent the nature
of the Beveridge campaign. 1t might
seem to an outsider that he already
has the State won, If he desires 10
enter the Senatorial contest, bur such is
far from the case. Harry S. New has
been prominent in Indiana and national
Republican politics for years. He is one
of the old wheel horses of the party, and
has the State organization sewed up
more completely than Tom Taggart ever
dreamed Of controlling the Democratic
organization.
One of the things in Mr.. Beveridge's
favor is the temporary upset Of the
Republican machine organization in
Marion county. in which Indianapolis is

Strong sentiment developed to-day at
a meeting of the Senate Finance Com
inittee in favor OF sales tax. the first
year to take care Of the soldier bonus
until it is certain the allied war debt
can be collected without delay and with
regularity.
Advocates of that plan argue that
some such method is necessary owing to
The probable delay in funding the foreign
deot and the time required to set up the
machinery to collect the interest.
Some members of the committee
agreed with President Harding that to
depend on the interest from the foreign
debt to meet the obligations to the SOL
diers might prove hazardous.
Senator McCumber( N. d.. chairman
of the Senate Finance Committee. favors

measure to aSjust the compensation. For
mat reason ! am in favor Of adopting

iieve that the interest from the foreign
debt will be more than sufficient"
TO speed UP legislation the chairman
or the Senate Finance Committee be-
iieves it woud be better to amend the
present bill now before his committee,
adding a provision outlining the means
TO raise the needed revenue.
Any measure that is adopted, he add
ed. will likely contain the five options
in the present bill. He thinks many
of the soldiers would prefer the in
slrance feature to cash, others would
select the land provision and still others
the vocational training feature.
Referring again to the funding bill,
Senator McCumber said there was some
uncertainty as to the interest rate to
bo charged, although all the members
oe the committee seem to feel that
the twenty-five year term for the pay
ment OF the debt is sufficiently long.
There is every indication, that the
foreign debt funding bill and the soldier
bonus bill will be linked together ny
the committee. However, separate bills

foreign debt, or as much as Is needed,
Is TO apply to the deferred compensa-

Orsanlsation for Campaign.
His organization plan for the 1920
campaign was not only systematic and
practical but admittedly most eff
cient. His retirement from the chair
manship of the National Committee
last June was due to his personal con-
viction that a member OF. the Harding
Cabinet should not participate actively
in partisan politics. Many Of the lead
ers Of the party importuned him to
continue at the head of the party or
galization.
The retirement Of Mr.. Hays is likely
to exercise a far reaching effect in
Republican politics. Already there are
almost dozen potential candidates
for the portfolio he is surrendering in
a few weeks. The President has not
yet given thought as to his successor.
Indiana naturally looks upon the
post office job as its own. Well in
formed leaders believe Senator Harry
s. New can have the place If he de-
sires. Senator New said tonight. how.
ever, that the subject had not been
discussed by the President and him.
self, between whom the most cordial
and amicable relations have eXisted
for many years. The present term OF
Senator New expires a year from next
March and his successor will be elected
in November Of this year. s8Fes ~
Senator New has indicated his desire
for another term. An organization has
been formed by his Indiana friends to
bring about his nomination in the
primaries. The Senator himself will
actively enter the contest for the nomi-
nation OF his party during the next
two or three weeks-unless. OF course,
the President considers him for the
Cabinet post to be vacated by Mr..
Hays.
II the Senator carries out his present
intention, he will be candidate for the
Senate. From present indications, the
Hoosier State will provide the theater
for a battle between himself and for
mer Senator Alfred J. Beveridge, who
has been projected into the race by the
Progressive wing of the Republican
party in Indiana. Mr.. Beveridge. who
has achieved distinction as historian
and litterateur since his retirement
from the Senate ten years ago. Is re-
garded generally as the nearest ap-
proach to Progressive leadership in
the Republican party.

support it's development in practical
ways, yet l regret to see how the
enthusiasm of some has made an idol
out OF the instrument and has brought
conflicts into our own ranks. Thus
some of the most conservative have
been estranged, for to them Hebrew
is holy only because the Torah, which
is written in Hebrew, is holy; and, so,
many others have been misled into
confusion and misunderstanding Of
our true purposes, because the over
emphasis upon Hebrew as secular
tongue implied to them the setting up
OF a petty nationality bereft of our
great spiritual history. Unity in our
ranks will be promoted if we view
the Hebrew language as the means
to our great end-the rebirth of the
Jewish people and its cultural and
spiritual ideals.
Likewise, the political aspect Of
Zionism must be clearly understood
to be secondary, means to attain
the spiritual goal of our movement.
Who, in our history, has understood
better the Importance of the political
element in our life than Herzl, the
founder of the Zionist organization,
and yet who has spoken more clearly
with prophetic insight, saying that
"A return to Judaism must precede
the return to Zion"? We must, of
course, have political guarantees for
the security Of life and property, for
the freedom to settle, and for the
autonomy of cultural and spiritual
life in our own communities. But
Jewish history and Jewish philosophy
cannot bear the thought Of political
ambition and domination. We are
an old people, and the teachings of
Prophets and Rabbis have combined
with historical circumstances to con-
vince us of the vanity and futility of
political mastery. have no doubt
that the masses of our people and it's
leaders understand this very well. But
I sometimes fear that the stress of
circumstances and the tasks of the
moment have led some to make state
ments which, misinterpreted and torn
from their context, have given watch
full enemies an opportunity to twist
them into caricatures of our aim.
Absorbed with the problems of the
moment, the problems of ways and
means, it may be that our leaders
have failed to lay sufficient stress
upon the ultimate purpose of our
movement. "Wise men, be careful in
your utterances!" Leaders and schol-
ars must be careful to express them
selves accurately in order to convey
the true aims and objects which in
spire us. We cannot be satisfied in
knowing in our own hearts the purity
of our purpose; we must make clear
and explicit to the world that it is a
deep spiritual aspiration which is at
the bottom of the great effort to
restore Zion: I know that even then
Satan's forces will refuse to under
stand and we shall still have enemies,
but our own conscience at least will
be clear.
It is not in the spirit Of ,sWhat

Book. The re-establishment of the
Torah upon a firm foundation almost
$500 years ago has preserved Juda-
ism for us to this day and for all
ages, and has, Furthermore, Indirect
ly Influenced, in a profound way, the
spiritual outlook of the whole world.
Today in the second restoration
we are faced with problem similar
to that which faced the Jew of the
Babylonian Exile-the lack of spir-
itual center. In our own time the
danger of disorganization and disin-
tegration is far greater than it ever
was at any other period of our his
tory. The old centers of Jewish life
in Russia are breaking up, and con-
ditious in Western Europe, while al
lowing greater individual freedom,
give little opportunity for the de-
velonment of Judaism. The authori-
ty of the Torah is shaken, divisions
are multiplied and each Jew tends to
become religion unto himself Our
spiritual life, which has stood the
test of centuries is in danger Of total
disintegration. We must have a
rereading of the Book, re-es-
tablishment of the Torah on a firm
foundation. Those who are con-
cerned for the perpetuation and de-
velopment of Jewish cultural and re-
ligious life must unite to establish
a center where Jewish life, philoso-
ply and religion may be developed in
harmony with the true spirit of the
Torah, and in accord with the needs
nf nd 0cfo h
lish our religious life for ourselves,
may it not be hoped that we may
again give new spiritual values to
the world, that we may yet be
light unto the nations to guide and
to give hope in these troubled days
of doubt and disillusion?
A bable of voices of accusation
and Of defense makes indistinct the
clear call of Jewish history. "Israel
is not nation except through it's
Torah and it's Faith" For thousands
Of years we have suffered persecu-
tion from without and self-imposed
restraints from within in order to
preserve our distinct spiritual life,
and it is unthinkable that our lofty
ideal should be forgotten in the re-
birth Of our people. No one with
knowledge and insight into Jewish
history will fail to emphasize the i'm
portance of the Hebrew language, in
which our great cultural, spiritual,
and religious heritage is expressed,
but it would appear sometimes that
the concentration upon the instru-
ment for the revival of Jewish
thought has made some forget it's
ultimate aim-Jewish thought itself
and has led to the exaltation of
the Hebrew language as an end in it

and ideals, but it is not the treasure

fields, building highways, clearing
swamps, planting and harvesting, de-
termined to convert their ideal into
action with love and with labor.
The teachers carry on their work
silently. They understand the spirit
ual goal in the rebuilding. They
have won for the Jewish settlements
the difficult struggle of language and
have given our ancient tongue it's
rightful place as the carrier Of Jew
ish thought, Jewish learning, and
Jewish idealism.
The old and the young, scholars
and farmers, practical men and
dreamers, professional men and la
borers, are all touched by the new
spirit and are working together for
the rebuilding of the New Zion.
The Jewish world at large, par
ticularly the Jewry of America,
judge, have not appreciated to the
full the sacrifices that have already
been made and that the workers in
Zion are ready. to make, as well as
the possibilities of the new life in
Palestine, and therefore perhaps have
not matched the idealism of the Pal
estinians in the performance of the
full measure of their duty. The Jew
ish world ought to know more of
what has been done. Only through
the united efforts of all Jewry can
we hope to accomplish our great aim
the Restoration Of Zion. I wish
that I had the strength and the gift
to impress upon American Jewry

that still lie before us, to make them
rise to the great occasion to which
our own history and the history of
the world has brought us. Within
my limitations, however, shall bend
every effort to make clear the general
Jewish responsibility to the new
Zion. I shall count my visit to Pal
estine failure if I do not succeed in
influencing American Jewry in some
measure to understand it's paramount
duty towards Palestine.
Deeply appreciating as I do what
has already been done in Palestine,
what it's possibilities are, and what
the responsibility Of world Jewry is
towards the work of rebuilding, I
may allow myself, indeed feel it to
be my duty as lover of my people
to point out that Zion also has it's
responsibility to the rest of the world
Jewry, and to tell you in few words
what I believe that responsibility is.
Great sacrifices have been made and
are still being made by the builders
of Zion and we must understand
clearly what it is that makes these
sacrifices significant. We must know
ourselves, we must bear in mind our
ultimate aspirations. We must recall
what history teaches of our purposes,
what the past tells about the future.
Let us recall the first restoration;
it's purpose was to rebuild the spirit
ual center of Israel as a stronghold
for it's religion and it's ideals. The
most significant event of the restora-
tion was Ezra's rereading Of the
