Speaker Cannon is out in Kansas making standpat speeches and grilling the Beveridge-Bristow-Dolliver-Cum-mins insurgents without mercy. When both standpatters and insurgents get busy at this grilling what will be left ol the grand old party? The word has been given out that the republicans of the Eighth district will pattern alter tneir brethren of the First district when It comes to making a platform for their congressional convention. As the First distrist lauded Taft, the Payne-Aldrich tariff and former Senator Hemenway, and feelingly bragged about the oratorical ability of Senator Beveridge, the resolutions will be found rather conflicting when compared to their state platform declarations.

Eigemann is a liberal and will vote to repeal the county option law. The republican candidate for the state senate from Howard and Miami —Mr. Jenkins —is also a liberal, and in many counties of the state the republicans are playing both ends from the middle and nominating anticounty option candidates. —Huntington News-Democrat.

congress in the election of a United States senator The republican party stands for extravagance. The arch exponent of wasteful expenditure of public money, Roosevelt, will make a speech in thia state for Beveridge (so it is said!, who has never uttered a word against the awful extravagance of his party. In this connection the following from the New York World is very much to the point: •'Where only a few years ago we had the billion dollars congress we now have the billion dollar session and the two billion dollar congress. Unless this waste of public money is checked by ballots at the polls, how long before we shall have the two billion dollar session and the four billion dollar congress? ‘ Here is the one issue that comes to the democratic party ready made from the hands of its opponents. The money exactions of no trust, of no monopoly, have equalled the money exactions of the United States govern ment since the spirit of Rooseveltism began to dominate public expenditures. ■ Back to the old Tilden platform— Retrenchment and Reform'" MEMORIAL SERVICES (Continued fl-ona page 1.)

The audiences Sunday were, greatly increased in numbers and the two sermons given by the pastor were most highly appreciated.

Both sermons we most excellent, abounding in and thought, and were given in the earnest and eloquent waycharacteristic of the pastor. The Sunday school is also growing, as well as the mid-week prayer service.

THE KNIFE READY | w (Continued flon» page 1.) cus at which it was decided that, should Beveridge ask them the embar asking question they would politely but firmly decline to answer. Then they went into the real conference which lasted some two or three hours. At the end of this period one of the Beveridge opponents, coming back into the world was asked: "Well, what did you tell him The nominee smiled. "Why. re didn’t ask us. We's beeu in there for about two hours listening to the story of his life. Re told us how big he was when he was born, how mucn ne as grown since, and how big he is now. We were told how he choped wood when a boy. how hard he worked to get through college, arc! all that sort of thing. But he didn't ask us if we were going to vote for him." It is believed that Senator Beveridge learned of the preliminary caucus and the number of men who attended it. This, it is said, was his answer to the question and made it unwise for him to put it direct. Either that, or that quality which even some of his friends I frankly call personal vanity, which had convinced him at the last minute that there could be no such thing as real oposition to Beveridge. At any rate, if Beveridge were not convinced, others were. And they are telling the story of the growing rebellion. The republicans have chosen ninety-three of their 125 senators, there being.twenty-five hold over senators. Os these ninety-three, it is said thirty are flatly opposed to Beveridge and will not vote for him in the event of their election to he assembly. Thiry-two are yet to be chosen and when the list is complete, the story goes, forty-five of the legislative nominees will be actively opposed to Beveridge and will not vote for him under any circumstances. It is not known definitely where the open rebellion and the active campaign for anti-Bev-eridge nominees started, but a good example of the situation exists in Marion county, where Joseph B. Kealing, known far and wide as "Big Chief" Kealing. holds the reins and controls the votes of six of the eight nominees for the legislature. It is said that Kealtag is one of the men “higher up” in the rebellion against Beveridge. He is the man against whom charges of treachery were preferred in the republican city primary campaign at Indianapolis by a fellow-re publican, William D. Headrick. Headrick was a candidate for prosecutm. Kealing said he gould not be the nominee and Kealing guessed rigiit. But 1 while he was guessing Headrick came i to the front and told of interviews between himself and Kealing in which • Kealing openly avowed his enmity toward Beveridge and declared that they were going to "do for" BevterirgO.” Kealing made a brave denial, ■ but the people of Marion county bei lieved Headrick. Headrick was de- ■ seated at the polls and Kealing's man : won. But the margin was so narrow that the "Big Chief" was thoroughly frightened. Headrici: must have won the race despite the fact ; that the county and city administra- ■ tice machinery was against him. Kealing is hand in glove with Lew Shank, mayor of Indianapolis, in his corpora tlon counsel, in fact. And the word went down the line in the city admisistration that Headrick was “in bad." Ke&lsng emerged from the primaries smiling and happy, with Headrick defeated and six of the legislative nominees wearing the Kealing brand. They are six of the thirty now chosen who will stick the political knife under the floating ribs of Beveridge's senatorial ambitions. •
