MAYOR JOHN l.. DUVALL-In.
diana has today lost one of its great
est men. Especially was he a great
literary light and outstanding think .
err. The Nation suffers a tremen- II
dous loss in that his life OF Lincoln
was not finished. I am deeply
grieved to hear of his death.
WILLIAM A. PICKENS, president
Indiana State Bar Association: Il
was always a great admirer of Mr..
Beveridge. Soon after I came to In.
dianapolis l came in contact with
him. He was on the opposite side
of a lawsuit in which 1 was engaged.
He showed such preparation and
such ability in that case that nave
always had the greatest respect for
him as a lawyer. / have always
greatly admired his ability as a
writer and regard his Life of Mar
shall'' as the greatest biographical
work that has been produced in
America.
Literature, high-grade politics and
craftsmanship in America have all
suffered a serious loss in his death
NJ. BERT THURMAN, United
State Internal Revenue collector
The sudden and unexpected death of
Albert Beveridge will be mourned
by every native Hoosier. He was
one of Indianas most widely kown
citizens. He was a distinguished
statesman and author.
MRS. ARTHUR r. ROBINSON,
Wife of Senator A. r. Robinson
The death of Albert Beveridge is a
shock not only to the people of our
State but to the Nation as well, for
in his passing we lose one of our
most outstanding and distinguished
citizens. He made a distinct place
for himself, not only as a great 4
statesman but as a figure in the lit.
erary world. In both fields of ac-
tivity his loss will be most keenly
felt.
POSTMASTER GENERAL HAIR
RY S. NEW-Indiana has lost one OF
her ablest citizens and one who has
brought the State great distinction.
He was most unusual man, with
an eXceptional-even extraordinary
mind. No one will question his
ability, which was equaled only by
his capacity for work and the enor-
gy with which he undertook the
| things in which he was interested.
FORMER SENATOR THOMAS J.
! TAGGART, informed at French
Lick by The Times of the death of
ex-senator Beverage said-Indiana
will miss him. He was an intellectI.
al man, great scholar, an outstand-
ing statesman and citizen. I knew
him well and loved him. The news
Of his death comes as a great shock.
GOVERNOR ED JACKSON-It
is a very great shock to me. The
State Of Indiana has lost one Of its
ablest citizens. 1t is a double
calamity, because Mr. Beveridge
was working upon a life of Lincoln,
to which we We're all looking for.
ward with such great expectations.
MRS. GRACE URBAHNS, State
| Treasurer-In the passing of Mr..
Beveridge our State and Nation has
lost one of its most illustrious sons, A.
Mr.. Beveridge possessed a master
mind and his influence and memory Y
| shall live forever in the many lite.
rary and historical treasures that
have fallen from his pen.
FORMER MAYOR SAMUEL
LEWIS SHANK have known
Senator Beveridge for more than
| twenty years and believe that il the
Republican party had seen fit to
nominate him for the presidency
that he would have made one of the
greatest Presidents this country has
| ever had.
do not think that the United
States has had man better posted
on international law than Mr.. Bev.
| eridge.
CIRCUIT JUDGE HARRY @.
| HAMBERLIN-The three fun.
damental requisites underlying real
| craftsmanship are ability, integrity
and courage. These qualifications,
to an outstanding degree, marked
the whole public career OF Albert j.
Beveridge, as can be claimed for
few other men in national life. And
most prominent of all was his
courage.
Complete fearlessness was the
compelling factor that endeared
him to the common people Of forty
eight States of the Union. His life
in office, and out of it was equally
public, for in private life he was a
national figure.
JUDGE JAMES A. COLLINS.
Criminal Court-The death of Albert
j. Beveridge. so sudden and unex-
pected, comes as a great shock to alA3
his friends. -
Beverage was admired and loved
| by many men who did not always
agree with him politically. They adj
mired him because of his courageous
stand on public questions and the
able and fearless presentation of his
views of the cause that he espoused.
His career in the United States Sem
ate brought him national fame and
made him easily one of the outstand-
ing public men of America.
When he retired from the United
States Senate. it was freely predicted
that his political career was at an
end, but this proved false prophecy,
because when he went before the
people in 1922, he overwhelmingly
defeated Senator Harry S. New, for
