ANY OLD THING IS CHAIRMAN LEE'S PLATFORM The republican state chairman, Mr, Lee, announces that the sole Issue in Indiana this year is • republicanism.” There is nothing else to be considered by the republicans of the state. Our triend, Judge Heaton, who is to be named for congress next week, may be a Cannon advocate or he may be a Beveridge clansman, he may be for a high tariff or for tariff reform: a standpatter or a progressive: he may be anything or everything but according to the program he must be a votegetter, regardless of principles. He may repudiate the tariff with the Beveridge element, or he may support it or be in harmony with ex-Vice President v* l 'banks, ex-Senator Hemenway and ex -.tip James E. Watson. He may be this. that, or the other thing. His ideas may wonder hither and yon or pursue any wilful course they will; but he must get the votes. The word has gone out that the candidates on the republican ticket in Indiana this year may maintain any ideas they please, but they must get the votes. They may represent principles the people like or be devoid of principles: but they- must get the rotes. They must be popular and make themselves popular and above all get votes. They must be silent on the temperance question; they must be reticent on the tariff question: they must get the votes and play the political game in any and all ways. We do not believe the voters this year are going to indorse any such campaign. The voters, democrats and republicans alike, are thinking this

year as never before. They have studied the issues and are prepared to make their candidates declare themselves one way or tha other on the questions that are agitating the people. It Is a campaign of reason and common sense as no campaign ever was before; a campaign of the people against special privileges, and no "glad hand ’ and no Issue of personal suavity will count against the thinking of the people.—Fort Wayne Jpurnal-Gazette. Senator Beveridge is ft busy Indian. He is not only busy with ths patronage can, but he i« running for senator and making candidate* f"f congress. His latest production comes in the announcement of Judge Heaton, who is now running for congress in the Twelfth district. Now comes Colonel Durbin, durn his pesky hide, and sorter shatters the hopes of an insurgent by stating that when Colonel Roosevelt does speak his mind on the political situation he will stoutly defend the position of the standpatters. The worst of it is there is ground for fear that. Mr. Durbin is speaking by the card. Speaker Connon asked and was granted unanimous consent in the house of congress Saturday, and then he proceeded to make the tor blue. In his characteristic way he punctured insurgency before and aft, saying that it was but the work of .demagogues. While no personal reference was made, yet the form of Senator Beveridge loomed up life-size. Uncle Joe likes to discuss this subject, and it is not improbable that he will say much about it before the campaign ends. Chairman Lee's platform of republicanism will not down in Indiana this year. Senator Beveridge made the platform and he will have to succeed or fail thereon. His platform pays the president but passing notice, kicks the stomach off the Payne-Aldrich tariff law and in general raises rukery with the staid old principles of the republican party. Chairman Lee cannot cover up that platform, and while he may try to jolly all the republicans into good fellowship, yet the task will prove hopeless.
