SENIOR INDIANA SENATOR WAS HERE

Benjamin F. Shively, of South Bend, Espouses Cause of Simon Pure Democracy to Small Audience. f ' * Senator Benjamin F. Shively, of South Bend, delivered an address to an audience of about three hundred and fifty people at the Prince Airdome this afternoon. He spoke from the Democratic standpoint Senator Shively succeeded James A. Hemenway in the United, States senate four years ago, and following the defeat of the Republican legislative tickets in Indiana. It had been generally considered that John W. Kern would get the place and John thought so himself and following his defeat charged that Shively’s election was procured by fraud, that eight members of the legislature had been bought by the brewery and whisky interests of the state to desert him and support Shively. Mr. Kern said that he could name the eight traitors and boodlers. He did not name them, however, although appealed to by the press and public from all over Indiana. Senator Shively did not challenge the statement at the time and a few months later Mr. Kern was told that if he would be good he would be chosen to •succeed Beveridge in 1911. Kern settled down to fight for the party and this time, true to promise, augmented by a convention pledge, Kern was chosen. A few months later, Shively and Kern together fought the retention of William Lorimer, alleging that his election was accomplished by Corrupt measures. Thus two men purged themselves by pointing a finger of disgrace at another. And the people have all forgotten and the name of Shively is honored all over the land. Prior to 1892 Senator Shively served four terms in the lower house of congress. He was defeated once for governor of Indiana. .
