: CHANGE EMBLEM t i Suggested the Eagle Give Way to the Ostrich as G. O. P. Mark. ; THE REASONS WHY Both Hide Their Heads 1 When Frightened and Believe They Are Safe. DEMOCRATIC NEW* BUREAU. 325 Pytttlan Building. t Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 29—(Spee--1 ial to Dally Democrat) —Among men ' who have been giving the political an- ’ uation close attention there is a growing feeling that the eagle is not an appropriate symbol for the republican 1 party in Indiana this fall —that is, for - the insurgent-republican party, which J is in the hands of Senator Beveridge, r it has been suggested that the os- • trich would meet exactly the require--3 meats for an appropriate symbol. You • remember, of course, that the ostrich, when overcome by panic, is wont to bury his head in the sand, entertaining the fond belief meanwhile that he is completely hidden clear down to his oxfords. This same happy delusion is being made manifest from day to day by Senator Beveridge's state committee and his political confidants. The ostrich believes he has fooled the people, when as a matter of fact, they sit around and laugh. It’s a painful comparison. The latest manifestation of the Indiana ostrish Is seen in the statement, sent out by the republican state committee to the republican papers of the .state, in which Senator Beveridge is trying to convince someone that he labored with might and main to elect James E. Watson governor of Indiana two years ago. The statement goes so far as to quote two excerpts from speeches made at that time by Senator Beveridge in which he referred in fond and endearing terms to Mr. Watson’s candidacy. Now. Mr. Watson has a distinct and painful memory of what Senator Beveridge didn’t do for him two years ago. So has former Senator Hemenway. They know that Senator Beveridge didn't give a snap of his fingers for their political welfare at that time — and consequently they laugh at the ostrich. • What amuses them further is the absurdity of the performance. Obviously they are not to be won over by such antics or protestations. They know the truth. So do the:- friends. Consequently these friends are not impressed by the ostfich’s feat. Then, who is? Another feature of the performance in which they find satisfaction is the confession from Senator Beveridge and his state committee that they would like to have Mr. Watson, Mr. Hemenway and their friends get in line and do some work for Beveridge. The ostrich is in a panic, else why hang his head? Well, Mr. Watson is going to help Senator Beveridge—going to help him in just the way that Beveridge helped Watson two years ago. So, If Senator Beveridge can delude himself he will believe that he is going to have the assistance of Mr. Watson. Mr. Hemenway and his friends. But, naturally, away down In his heart, he knows that he turned them down. It was a curious fact that when overtures were made to Mr. Watson, urging him to go out and help organize the state with the Beveridge lieutenants two weeks ago, that Mr. Watson had that week just crammed full of speaking engagements elsewhere. Sorry, oh yes. sorry clear down to the soles of his shoes, but it was clear out of the question for that week. Oh. yes, he’d be glad to help whenever he could —that is. whenever he hid no other engagements. That ought to have been encouraging to Senator Beveridge and his state committee. The Indianapolis Star, which is Senator Beveridge’s chief newspaper defender, belongs to the ostrich family, too. In a recent editorial on Senator Beveridge it found courage to utter the following: ‘in all the charges the democrats or the standpatters make against him, the honesty and sincerity of his public service are never called in question.” This calls to mind the editorial cf Charles G. Sefrit of the Washington (Ind.) Herald. Mr. Sefrit in a palpable attempt to fool the regular republicans the must be an ostrich, too) said that Senator Beveridge would have voted for the Payne-Aldrich bill if his vote bad been necessary for Its passage. Is that an indictment of Senate! Beveridge’s sincerity? it says plainly

I that be voted, for some purpose or other, contrary to his convictions. And yet Senator Beveridge Is making great campaign capital of his votes on the tariff. e Rut, the Star limits us statement to "democrats and standpatters and perhaps It did not Intend to include Mr. Sefrit who is an insurgent. At about the same time this editorial appeared the Star published a long interview with Mr. Sefrit In ‘ which he touched everything except the charge of Insincerity he himself had made againat Senator Beveridge. S Did Mr. Sefrit wilfully refrain from explaining himself, or did the Star wilfully withhold that portion of the interview? The people of Indiana are interested in Air. Sefrit’s charges against Senator Beveridge and believe It is up to him to make an explanation. Likewise, they would like to know what Senator Beveridge Is going to do n about the Columbia club's predicament. L . Mayor Shank, a republican, calls the r . Columbia club a "blind tiger.” It is „ admitted that liquor is sold there withn out a city license. The mayor says r the club must have one. The club * says it won’t get one. Senator Beveridge is one of the leading members of this club. The people want to know whether he Is going to resign, or support the mayor’s demand for legal observance of the liquor laws, or whether he will uphold the club gin the maintenance of a “bling tiger." These questions were put to him res cently through the press of Indiana. He has made no answer. Will he answer tomorrow? Or after the election? , Or ever? p TEACHERS INSTITUTE h y “ (Continued from page 1.) of the Adams county teachers and 1 state, 1 wish to accept the greetings ? from Michigan.
