The Victory Of Mr.. Hsvsridss

Albert j. Beyeridge over Senator New or INDIANA
The great majority Of Republicans throughout the
nation sense genuine qualification than Chair
man Hull profess.
No other result was expected Of the Indiana pri-
mary Mr. Beverdge, who Immediately after his
entrance to the senate became national figure has
never lost his hold upon the admiration and the
affection of the people of that state. On the
trary he has grown, and since his retirement from
the senate the comparatively few occasions he
has spoken he has been accorded the deepest.
1rywide attention such as is given only "elder"
statesman
on the contrary his opponent, Senator New has
cut little figure in the senate and may say, none
at all within the three years, since tragedy and
scandal in Los Angeles laid bare an indiscretion of
his youth Those having that in mind, together With
the strength of Beveridge and his record in
public life could had doubt of the result of
the senatorial primary.
Senator New, it is true had the advantage OF
political machine but no machine could be strong
enough to offset such handicaps as Mr.. New had
to face
The result is not in any sense as Chairman Hull
processes to believe, reputation of the Harding
administration Mr.. Beveridge has offered nothing
in censure administration. It is true that ten
years ago Mr.. Beverldge leader of the Pro-
gressives and that yet stands staunchy by the
principles of the Progressive party Mr. Harding had
not then into conspicuous public life, though
his later affiliations with the element to which
Mr. Beveridge was opposed But there has since
a modification of the reactionary spirit which
was combatted by Mr. Beveridge. The issues before
the people now do not include the of the dis
pute which began to divide the Republican party
twelve years ago.
1t was the boast of Democratic statesmen that
the Wilson administration had given force to pro-
gressive principles and that Mr.. Wilson had caused
many those principles to be translated into laws
There was some such translation during the Wilson
administration and there has been much since, espe-
cially with reference to the agricultural industry.
But these reforms inevitable. Colonel Roose
velt saw them to be in 1912. They would have been
effected by awakened public opinion under any ad-
ministration
While Mr. Beverdge has criticised nothing in
the Harding administration he has found present
woes to be traceable to the misgovernment which
preceded it.
So far recall. his last public utterance was
at the New York Chamber Of Commerce dinner last
fall when, after speaking of the overthrow of the
invisible government OF entrenched wealth which he
fought in the senate and in the campaign of the
Progressive party he said:
But another invisible empire has been estab-
lished evil and dangerous that of the dethroned
aristocracy wealth. This assailant of ordered
liberty and American institutions is the close and
closed corporation of those who have made them
selves masters of labor unions
"Organized labor and organized capital alike
be made useful to all men and helpful to a republic,
but neither should be permitted TO oppress any man.
woman or child to govern the American people
Mr.. Beveridge declared that the methods by which
the enactment of the Adamson law was forced by
labor leaders raised vital issue involving the very
existence of the government. He said the condition
brought by the governments surrender to the
labor leaders in the matter of the Adamson law
made worse by the "saturnalia of mismana cement"
during the governments control of the railroads.
Ten years ago the railroads were a part of the
Invisible Empire of Wealth. The New Empire was
not yet founded Organized labor had not yet
attempted to control of congress. 1t only
struggling for its rights and which, they had been
accorded it under the terms of the Progressive
platform. would have become the basis for that
imperous demand to which the Wilson adminstrs-
ton surrendered and which established labor in
position of control Any invisible involves
the opposition of another. 1t invites revolution
and the people become inevitably the sufferers in
the conflict
In the present situation Beveridge is in accord
with the present administration which is confronted
with undoing the evil that has been done
His nomination assures the election of Republican
senator in Indiana We believe the re- election Of
Mr.. New would have been extremely doubtful in
close state against so popular Democrat as Gov
ernor Ralston that in the result OF the primary
Chairman Hull should find greater for regret
than for rejoicing.
