Lee. a Beveridge man, chairman, and John P. Hayes, Mr. Beveridge's private secretary, as secretary. Announcement is made by those in authority that the campaign Is to be "a Beveridge campaign.” In view of this statement it might be well to inquira of Mr. Beveridge as to where he stands on the ship subsidy grab and the central bank hold-up. It might be a good thing also to have him state precisely how much of the tariff graft he favors and how much he opposes. How large a private tax does he think the trusts and monopolies should be allowed to levy on the people? Where the tariff now put one dollar in the treasury for public purposes it puts five in the pockets of favored individuals for private purposes. As Mr. Beveridge has said that he thinks five is too much, would he be satisfied with four or three? He should make it clear where he stands with respect to these amounts. In the meantime the people of Indiana should get ready to send a man to the senate who is opposed to and will vote against the entire private tax, a thing that Beveridge will not do.
