FUN IN SIGHT FOR INDIANA DEMOCRATS

Indianapolis, Nov. 28.—Senator Al-1 bert J. Beveridge is in the city and 1 the Republican papers of the state will please note the fact. They can also assist in the harmony |*lan of the Republican managers if they will note that the senator is prepared to receive his friends and has not mapped out any business affairs to occupy his time. This means that the senator is here as commander-in-chief of the Beveridge forces, and the battle for control of the party machinery is on in earnest. This is another harmony item for the Republican press. The fact is that the junior senator is not at all satisfied with the manner in which some of his enemies in the party have been treating him. He has won a great victory in this state in that now. sixteen months in advance of the time for the election of the next senator, he has brushed all opposition aside. There are still barkers and quibblers pursuing him. Senator , Beveridge is here to make them bow to him and get ready to shout for him as loud as his most zealous friend when the word is given. Whether the senator's visit he—, will prove the tri-, umphani celebrat. n he evidently anticipated remain l - jbe seen. His invitation to the country people to come , in and pay him their respects has not yet met with an overwhelming re spouse. There was room for all the callers in the office yesterday. If they do not come Beveridge is disposed to find out why and to settle with some of them later. That the orders to come in and meet the senator as sent out in his edict are distasteful to many is a known fact. It remains to be . seen whether the junior senator has the prestige to force men to come in to call in spite of their prejudices. The visit promises therefore to be a memorable one. and Democrats are watching it because they believe they see fun in sight. The coming week will find more Indiana newspaper men gathered together for a good time than Las ever been

the case before, unless all signs fail For the acceptances of Thomas Tag gart’s invitation to the members of the various editorial associations of the state to be his guests for a few days beginning Dec. 3 show that unless something happens to prevent the editors from keeping their word, at least 400 of the pen pushers of the state will be present on that occasion. It is seldom that the occasion for a general reunion of all the newspaper men of the s’ate presents itself. Mr. Taggart’s hospitality in inviting al! the associations to be with him at the same time has appealed to the editors, and they are expressing their approval of his kindness in their letters of acceptance. Mr. Taggart has been in Mexico for a few days, but he will be home here tomorrow and will be at French Lick to welcome his guests in person on their arrival at his great hotel. The troubles of the Consumers Gas Trust company are still attracting a great deal of attention here, and the progress of the fight being made by certain of the directors and stockholders who believe the property belongs to the people and should be used to their advantage to prevent certain other managers from diverting the institution to selfish purposes is being closely watched. The contest is bound to come into the courts, which will have to decide the exact status of the company and whether it has the right to manufacture artificial gas for home consumption as is contemplated. As yet. however, the matter is being threshed out in the meetings of the directors and in ’be newspapers. The first steps have proved a victory for the people, and apparently the plans to continue the plant as a public utility will be consummated. The men who are charged with seeking to convert the property to their own uses are not “quitters" by any' means, however. and they are showing fight and will give a hard battle before being downed.
