Former Senator Albert J. Beveridge will formally open the real Roosevelt campaign in Indiana next Wednesday night, when he will address a meeting at Tomlinson hall at Indianapolis, the affair having been arranged by the .Marion County Roosevelt club. He might interest many if he would tell just what happened between Muncie and Richmond on that trip in 1910, when Roosevelt refused absolutely to deliver his Richmond speech. Edwin M. Lee, Roosevelt's manager in Indiana, nas again lost out, a here- ' tofore unknown politician from Shelbyville, named Campbell, having taken his place as state manager. Mr. Lee will continue as one of the lieutenants. It is said that he was not getting sufficient returns for the amount being expended Mr. Perkins is a big . business man and in the years of his j experience at the head of many of j the country’s biggest concerns he has made his men deliver the goods according to the cost. Evidently he has not changed his tactics in politics. It is to the interest of the taxpayers of Indiana that they do not forget that since the democrats came into control of the state- government the tax levy has been reduced to a rare which will leave in their pockets approximately $1,200,000 in four years. Notwithstanding this decrease the democratic administration has met the running expenses of the state and has paid the state fair coliseum bond issue of SIIO,OOO. More than this, provision has been made to pay’ $1.">0,000 of the state debt by July 1. 1912, and > an additional $150,000 by Jan. 1, 191.2. This will have been accomplished in spite of the increased costs of living under republican tariff tax, in spite of the opening of the new hospital for j the insane at Madison and of the new ; tuberculosis hospital at Rockville, and i in spite of greatly increased popula-' tions at the School of Feeble Minded ■ Youth and at the Indiana Village for

Epileptics. The maintenance as these institutions has required large sums of money, but they have all been provided for, as have all other state expenI ditures, with a lower tax levy. While 1 the republicans were in control they I managed to create a condition that amounted to a deficit of about $3,000,000 between the state’s income and its i outgo. They did this with a higher * tax levy. Under economic democratic ! administration this defiicit is being wiped out with decreased taxes. Any • one w’ho is interested can verify these i facts. , I ..

ARE NOW IN FLORIDA. Word from Mit. Elizabeth Morrison , and daughter, Mrs. Dick Wallace, and babe, formerly of Oaxaca, Mexico, is that they reached Coronado, Florida, safely, joining Miss Hattie Studabakei and brother, 1/avld, at tnaf place. They will likely remain there some time. They were advised by the American consul at Oaxaca to leave Mexico on account of the conditions of the revolution. It is thought, however they were in no immediate danger, as let ters prior to their leaving stated that as they were only 100 miles from the gulf coast, they would remain there until they were obliged to leave and then hasten to the coast and take a steamer across the gulf. As they came byway of Mexico City, and traveled through Mexico, it is thought they did not leave under great diffi culties. Oaxaca is a city of abdut 80, 000 inhabitants, and is the capital o the state of Oaxaca. Government troops are located there. The Morrisons were accompanied by a Mexican nurse and servant.
