If it falls, the, fault will be that of Beveridge.—lndianapolis Star. Another conference has been held with the president. This time it was Vice President Sherman and : James E. Watson, and they discussed the “gospel” they would hand out in the congressional campaign this year. Senator Beveridge was not in on this conference. The republicans of the .Twelfth distrist are feeling their oats just now Judge Heaton has finally answered the cail of Senator Beveridge and has made the public declaration that he will accept the nomination for congress. Judge Heaton may be stronger than his party, the Beveridge part of the republican party hope that he is, and that he will be able to save some of the close district candidates for the legislature. This is all Judge Heaton will get out of the run as Cy Cline will eat him up Jake. If the Indianapolis News. Star and Sun could be suppressed until after the election Senator Beveridges chances ot re-election would be very much bettered. They are pretending to support him but not an issue of either is printed but that the president and the regular republicans are openly assailed. That may be good politics in Indianapolis, but it is a mighty poor way of securing votes for the senator in the country where the administration is upheld by 90 per cent of the republican voters. If continued in it spells political disaster

with a big D next November.—Huntington Morning Times (Rep.) Chairman Lee of the republican state committee Is wearing out lots of I sole leather. He is covering the state and meeting the faithful from all foui corners. He administers ginger by the use of the latest medical process and is really doing his best to make a ’ showing of life. The Lord knows that he is doing his best, and we sympathise with him, because we knowhow. We have been in his shoes so often that we know exactly how he teels about it. If it is worth anything, we do not mind suggesting that the case is hopeless and that the best thing he can do. Is to make proper arrangements for the obsequies. 1 » The grand old party in the Keystone state is quaking in its boots and loudly calling for Philander C. Knox, the premier of the Taft cabinet, to pull them out of the mire by the "heels. They want him to head I their ticket for governor, stating that : unless he consents old dyed-in-the-wool Pennsylvania will lose several congressmen to the democrats. Think of this tale of woe. and then just think what other states will do, where life, ~ liberty and the pursuit of happiness count for something. The chief recommendation for Knox is the fact that he owns no personal views, has ' no policies and because of this fact he is the least offensive to the citizenship of the Keystone state.
