RENSSELAER, INDIANA. FRIDAY. AUGUST 2, 1912.

ALBERT J. BEVERIDGE NOMINATED FOR GOVERNOR.

Progressives Name Former Senator and Frederick Landis, of Logans- « port Is His Running Mate. I ‘ P emmm——me " The progressive state convention Thursday named the following state ticket: Governor. Albert J. Beveridge, Indianapolis. Lieutenant Governor. Frederick Landis, Logansport. Secretary of State. Lawson N. Mace, Scottsburg. Auditor. H. E. Cushman, Washington. Treasurer. B. B. Baker, Monticello. Attorney General. Clifford F. Jackmon, Huntington. State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Charles E. Spaulding, Winamac. Statistician. Thaddeus M. Moore, Anderson. Reporter Supreme Court. Frank R. Miller, Clinton. Judge Supreme Court, First Division. James B. Wilson, Bloomington. Judge Supreme Court, Fourth Division. William A. Bond, Richmond. Judge Appellate Court, First Division. Minor F. Pate, Bloomfield. Electors. Aaron Jones, South Bend. Lucius B. Swift, Indianapolis. Frederick Landis was the temporary chairman of the convention an,d made the “keynote” speech, in which he declared all existing conditions and all men at present in power as dangerous and declared in inflammatory language for relief from the oppression, which the republican party has heapeff upon the people while they slept. The speech was characterized by constant effort to ridicule substantiality and to cater to a clamor for unrest and for change. His speech was a bid for the nomination he received.

With the great majority of the ticket we are not familiar. They are? generally good men, no doubt, and probably capable to fill offices they seek. Bird B. Baker, of Monticello, however, who was nominated for treasurer of state, was engaged less than two years ago in the building of a stone road in White county. He had the road almost completed when a taxpayer discovered that it was being built with but little regard to and was woefully short'of the required amount of stone. Baker was required to rebuild the road and make it conform to specifications. He will probably be kept busy during the campaign explaining this to the people whose votes he will ask on a platform claiming virtue as its predominant feature. Albert J. Beveridge, who heads the ticket, was a United State senator from Indiana for twelve years. He is a brilliant man and is devoted to certain ideals of government. During the time he was in the senate he was ardently a republican and he professed his ardency no longer than two years ago when he wrote the republican state platform in Indiana, and was himself the cief issue before the people. He was defeated because of the democratis landslide in the state. He recently announced his withdrawal from the republican party and identified himself with the Roosevelt party. Many men in Indiana have great confidence in Beveridge, but there will be many who will not approve his withdrawal from the party in quest of political reward.

Judge James* B. Wilson, of Bloomington, a brother of Attorney Jesse E. Wilson, of Hammond, formerly of Rensselaer, was named the party's candidate for judge of the supreme court from the first district. Jesse Wilson, of Hammond, and Thomas Bauer, of Lafayette, were chosen delegates to the national convention. S. W. Thompson, of Monticello, was named as presidential elector. The platform declares for the initiative, the referendum and the recall. Also for the direct primary, for election of senators by direct vote of the people, for preferential presidential primaries, for a more economic registration and corrupt practices act, for equal suffrage for women on all questions and for a minimum wage for women wage earners. The tariff declaration is for a duty measured by the difference in the cost of production here and abroad and is in direct accord with the eipressions of President Taft and with the intent of the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill that provided for the tariff board. The platform declared for county local option as a temporary means of treating the liquor question. It however declared it to be a moral question that should be divorced from politics.

OFFICIALLY NOTIFIED OF PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION.

Eiihu Root Made Speech of Notification and Declared Thai No Taint * Was Connected with Procedure. Eiihu Root, senator from New York, Who served in Theodore Roosevelt’s cabinet as secretary of war and later as secretary of state, and who is one of the country’s most able statesmen and most honorable citizens, made the speech of notification at Washington Thursday, informing President Taft officially that he had been nominated by ’.he republicans for president Mr. Root declared that theje was no taint of dishonesty in , the president’s nomination and that the national committee settled all contests in honesty and good faith. President Taft accepted the nomination with a speech complete in a resume of his administration and in the discussion of the needs of the government and the method of meeting and caring for these needs. His speech was dispassionate, and was the calm expression of a thinker and- a student. It should be read and studied* by every man. In concluding his speech President Taft said:

I have thus outlined, Mr. Root and gentlemen, what I consider to be the chief issues of this campaign. There are others of importance, but time does not permit me to discuss them. In accordance with the usual custom I reserve the opportunity to supplement these remarks in a letter to be addressed to you at a later date when the alignment of the campaign may require further discussion.

I can not think that the American people, after the scrutiny and education of a three months’ campaign, during which they will be able to see through the fog of misrepresentation and demagoguery, will fail to recognize that the two great issues which are here represented to them are, first, whether we shall retain, on a sound and permanent basis, our popular constitutional representative form of government, with the independence of the judiciary as a necessary key to the preservation of those liberties that are the inheritance of 1,000

years, and, second, whether we shall welcome -prosperity which is just at our door by maintaining our present economic business basis and by the encouragement of business expansion and progress through legitimate use of capital. May we not hope that the great majority of voters will be able to distinguish between the substance of performance and the fustian of promise; that they may be able to see that those who would deliberately stir up discontent and create hostility toward those who are conducting legitimate business enterprises, and who represent tlje business progress of the country, are sowing dragons’ teeth? Who are the people? They are not alone the unfortunate and the weak; they are the weak and the strong, the poor and the rich, and the many who are neither, the wage earner and the capitalist, the farmer and the professional man, the merchant and the manufacturer, the storekeeper and the clerk, the rail-
