The congressional convention, over which he preside !, nominated a "regular, indorsed Tat*, and the Payne-Aldrich tariff law. and said that Beveridge is a "brilliant orator." There are plenty of men who are not republicans that the convention could have said are "brilliant orators.” Now that Roosevelt has promised to speak, in this state on October 13th (ominous number), the republicans are greatly disturbed. They don’t see how he is going to satisfy both factions, and they are desperately afraid that he won’t satisfy anybody. On the contrary they feel that he will offend either the “regulars" or the “insurgents,” and make things worse than they now are, is such is possible. Isn’t it awful? The Indianapolis Sun takes two columns of its space to resent the five line intimation of the Marion Chronicle that it is a valuable ally of the democratic party in this campaign. If anybody tells you that the Sun, notwithstanding its protest, is a republican paper, don’t believe it. It isn’t supporting any republican insurgent or regular except Mr. Beveridge, and its support of Mr. Beveridge

THEY ARE WORRIED Republican Organization is Afraid Uncle Joe Will Break Into Indiana. DEFEND TARIFF LAW The Very Thought Gives Them a Case of Cold Shivers.

DEMOCRAIC NEWS BUREAU. 325 Pythian Building. Indianapolis. Ind., July 22—(Special to Daily Democrat) —The Kansas utterances of “Uncle Joe" Cannon, in which he has, while defending the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill, practicallyannounced his candidacy as speaker of the next house of representatives, have added to the perplexity of the republican situation in Indiana. Senator Beveridge is going before the people of Indiana this fall on his record as an insurgent and his undying . enmity to the Payne-Aldrich tariff j hill. Suppose Cannon should decide • to come to Indiana with his eulogies iof the same bill! The very thought of i it sends cold shivers up and down i the republican spine, for the possibility is not altogether remote. The republican organization in Indiana has its hands full at present with James Eli Watson, erstwhile congressman and Cannon s bosom friend and ardent supporter Mr. Watson has been dashing around the state, so full of the idea that the present tariff bill is the “best ever," that it splashed out whenever he stopped. The republican manager.-: have therefore tried to keep him moving, and have let it become known that James Eli is not going to make any speeches in Indiana this campaign if they can prevent it. Not only will he not be invited to speak, but any speech-mak-ing efforts or symptoms on his part will be promptly- discouraged This state of affairs has come to the ears lot Mr. Watson, it is understood. He I is a man of vigorous and picturesque 1 language when aroused and has not been slow in making it known that he will make speeches in Indiana if he wants to, regardless of the state organization. The republican managers recall with no little degree of apprehension his announcement from the northwest that he would not make any speeches in Indiana this campaign. "I don’t expect to make any speeches in Indiana.” said Mr. Watson. Then he added with rare sarcasm: "Only about two each day for a month or so.” Now comes “Uncle Joe’s” escapade in Kansas, the home of Senator feristow and Congressman Murdock, two of the most insurging of the insurgents. “Uncle Joe” has bearded the lions in their dens and Kapsas has rung with the tariff batl tie of these eminent and warring republicans. The Indiana managers who have been glancing askance at Watson all the time and wondering what they would do with him. got onlycold comfort from this example, set by the man who is Watson’s warm political and personal friend. They arcafraid that Cannon's excursion will stir Watson to similar activity. They know that Watson is aware of their determination to keep him from making standpat speeches in Indiana and they hope their attitude will not lead him to drag his friend Cannon into the state. o—_ , I Dale Spahr was a business caller at ' Delphos today.
