On the other hand 1,110 say that Governor Marshall’s administration is a popular success, while only 174 say no, and the rest are in doubt. With respect to the inquiry: “Will Beveridge be re-elected?” the Enquirer gives the following synopsis of the 1 - vote: ... “The verdict of the replies is that he will not, or, at least, that his posi- 1 ' tion is dangerously precarious. Os 1 those who expressed themselves 648, 1 <qr 45 per cent of the whole, said that 1 he would be returned. Those who i took the opposite view were 504, or 36 per cent. Those who said that the re-election was doubtful were 256, or . 18 per cent of the whole. In other ; words Beveridge is left In the miw- j ity. It is made clear by those in ths ( negative and those expressing doubt that Beveridge’s danger,, the fact that he is 'redded>«» being , In opposition to tre.republican nation- 1 ■al administration and opt of harmony ■, ’ With the-doetrine of a high protective tariff. Egotism is charged against him in ‘ set and severe |erms. Others attribute the doubt io of the republican state; organisation. Ever, recurring as elements .of probable disaster are the names of former Senator Hemenway, Congressman James Watson and fonher Vice President Charles W. Fairbanks. As in the , matter of high living, it is a striking fact that a great many republicans who voted favorably as to the Taft administration asserted that Beveridge would be defeated or that his re-elec-tion was an unsettled question.* r >. As to the operation of the PayneAldrich tariff the same paper says: ‘ ‘‘Of the more than 1,500 replies revived, 1,108 unreservedly asserted that it was not satisfactory to the peopie.: Thistis about 80, per cjmt qf.the ■? whole number. Those in the affirmative were 192 and it was by extreme liberality upon the part of the compiler that even this sum was reached. Fully 30 per cent of the number of Writers qualified their affirmation by saying that there was. nd general complaint and that the situation was being bettered through clearer knowledge. . 7 Others insisted that it was merely a noisy minority that was against the measure. Os thosei.whO were in complete doubt, or had no expression to make, there were 120. There should be no gainsaying the fact that the ma- ' jority recorded was emphatic anfl. yig-' f taoUs.*’* » Timb it ;i will'beribasly impede republican victory in A concession ’thg "5* S’rto ■ SAW v With all the blow tatedNueterot governmental ecopomy stin the*con, gfessional ipprOptiattons bids’ -■stagger the ecbtfoi&cmindj and Winder7W* tbey.Fpuld, Japd were>--the president notbeuWlby: hi s' many public utterances oh reftarta’find ’ ■ economy? ••*<••**? , j , “It seems to me that J- cannot get flpfa: the morning without .finding some friend has kicked' the legs odt from under me.” This is the'cbmi •*! “J *.

He consented because the republican members of congress were making it too plain to him that their presence was,needed In their congressional districts. Their political fences are swaying in the balance and unless something radical is accomplished, they will have no more of a congressional job than a rabbit This tearful expose brought the president to time and now he not only favors an early adjournment but is anxious for it. . , fiffi.. L-J »J!!g—g Governor Hughes has served notice on the grafters tn New York state that-he has not yet gone to tho supreme court The legislature having adjourned without enacting a primary reform bill; he-has called an extra session, to meet Jhne 20, for that purpose, and meantime will appeal to the people. This -is the third time that he has thus applied the lash of public opinion. Once he got a re-apportion-ment enactment and once an antigambling law, in spite of the combined opposition of the bosses of both parties. The selection ot E. E. Cox to succeed himself on the Hartford City school board gives entire satisfaction to the patrons and school officials. My. Cox has proven an excellent trustee, wbo is interested in the success of the schools. His business capacity and knowledge of ; up-to-date educational work has contributed much to the other forces that hate liiade Hartford City’s schools the best of any city of equal population in the state. The city council could not have made a more popular selection than Mr. Cox nor a more competent one.—Hartford City Times-Gazette. ■ * . . isr In an interview In Chicago, Governor Marshall truly said that nearly an of the economic evils of the present day have sprung from the tariff. As the Isbue on' that said; tire peopfe iWdit‘tiftaHS that the growth of protected interests and not a tariff that means revenue for the government, they must decide It That is the Issue. The democrats must fight on this line and not waste their energies in a multitude of . other questions.” As the people are ntoW thoroughly awake to the evils of republican tariff legislation, there can be no doubt as to their decision when next they get a chance to make it known. .. . I” ’ ... . The Huntington county republicans are not afraid. The resolutions adopted by their conventual Thursday contain this pronouncement: “We approve of all support of the protective principle in the. naffop ahd of all legislation to promote; sobriety and temperance in the. state.”. That is an unqualified; endorsement Of' the Aldrich tariff law, which the republican state convention ignored, and of the Hanly county option law, which the republican state ' convention was afraid to say anything about. Huntington county republicans are not going to hide their light under a bushel nor put the muffler on their voices. They know what they believe in and fear not to say, so.—Fort Wayne Sentinel. .The legislative itj mended by President Taft will in a large least, fail in the present congress/ The regu- ' ' lars blame the insurgents and the . insurgents in turn' j|lace tho odium ’ ' upon. the regulars. \ PsritePii',ii is * a divided respoßflbilttfc but that, in nowise mitigates the offense;— •. 1' Fort Wayne Nd&H tt ' •'‘ This is but a little more evidence that the state of mind in the republican party is cut inttwo in-the middle. It is also evidence nf tho fact that the “conspiracy" against Senator Beveridge is real. No matter what the Well organized and WeH trained republican press of the state Tnay say bo the contrary, .it is a fact known to every one that tries to keep in touch with the politics of the state, that Senator Beveridge is in grave danger of defeat. His own state chairman admits it and acknowledge that

He is reported to have received from Speaker Cannon and Senator Aldrich that they would pass the statehood bill, the rail bill, the postal bank bill and the ship subsidy bill, but thus far they have made very little progress. Indications are that the president <s being fooled by those into whose hands he has delivered the affairs of his administration. The progressives and insurgents fought for Taft’s view on the tariff and lost becajuse of the standpatters. In return the president allies himself with the fellows that appear the strongest and' "takes a stand against the men who are really fighting for the platform pledges of the party. For that reason he finds trouble in getting assistance. The men who are powerful are playing politics against Taft In favor of the Interests they represent and the country Is paying the fiddler. Taft is now tongue-tied and troubled.—Columbia City Post 1 'i l i-; The Indianapolis Star has been deceived by a lying correspondent. here connected with one of the local newspapers and notorious for that kind of proficiency, who telegraphs that unsuspecting and easily deceived paper that the convention in Huntington strongly approved the Payne tariff bill The convention, as the resolutions show, approved the protective principle and declared that the present law was: not all -that could be desired subject; . resolution". andOTf/ng theIWyne law could have Kone through, because that would have been an indirect attack on the penator Huntington county for t 1..., Just a lltttW moiW evidHueebbat the republican party of Indiana are of several evidence that the conspiracy against Senator Beveridge is. rqpl, and that he has h rodty ritad to travel iwm' campaign for ‘re-election.

By that time congress will have adjourned. District Chairman Beebe will within the next few days call a meeting of the dletrist committee to be held at Muncie to name a time and place for holding the congressional, convention. Congressman Adair, who is now serving his second term In congress, will have no opposition for a third nomination. Anderson Bulletin. Congressman Kennedy of Ohio, a standpatter, made a speech in his die trict the other day in which he assailed the newspapers and magazines for exploding the silly republican campaign proposition that “the foreigner pays the tax” by asking that print paper and wood pulp be put upon the free list Kennedy said: "From one end of this land- to the, other the newspapers and magazines began to preach the democratic—-the Old- worn-out democratic cry—that the tariff raises prices to the consumer. In the face of all this storm of opposftion the party went consistently forward and made the best, tariff bill that was ever written in this country." The first effect of this speech was to cause a leading republican paper, Which had long been a party organ, to bolt and to ; declare ? that Kennedy “in not a man” to represent thb people. pf bis disti-ict. It piust be. eyldept that any man wbo denies that the tan Iff raises prices to the consume is unfit to represent the people.
