TO STARVE FRIENDS OF INSURGENTS The insurgent republican senators and members are receiving no mercy, and expecting little, in the distribution of the spoils of the Taft administration. On the contrary. » * To close observers of the political field in Washington the evident purpose of the administration is to starve out the friends of the insurgents in lowa,' Wisconsin, Minnesota, Kansas and other western states. Whether this method of reading them out of the party will have the desired results is what remains to be seen. Political history is full of examples in which the starvation plan has only spread j the Hames of insurrection —Phnadel- > pbia Record. If the starvation policy above outlined is to be carried out, what will happen to the Indiana men who are I depending on Senator Beveridge to secure their appointment to office?

■ Mr. Beveridge Inserged just like Cum- * mtns and Deliver of lowa. Bristow of s Kansas, Nelson of Minnesota and Lat Follette of Wisconsin. But possibly Beveridge will be excepted. It is hardly possible that President Taft should . have forgotten that the Indiana senator really favored his nomination fsr 8 the presidency even as against one 0 Charles W. Fairbanks. If Beveridge's 8 recommendations are heeded it will 9 show ‘that Taft is not ungrateful, but 8 it will put the senator in an exceed- * ingly awkward position.
