SENATORS ELECTED BY DIRECT VOTE

Odd Claim Made By Beveridge That Newspapers Were Trying to Deceive the People. Hon. Albert J. Beveridge, for twelve years the United States senator from Indiana, Elected as a republican and working actively in the ranks of that party as long as he was in office, came here Tuesday and spoke in the interest of’ thf progressive party and his own candidacy for United States senate on that ticket. Senator Beveridge is a brilliant orator, a student, a writer, a man of wide experience and interested in many policies for which the republican party stands and which might have been enacted into law by this time had such men as Beveridge and Roosevelt continued in the party. Senator Beveridge looked tired and worn by his hard campaign and his voice was husky and he lacked the ardor which has characterized (him in former campaigns. His speech here was a disappointment to most of his hearers, for he did not* enter into a discussion of many of the issues which were assigned as the cause of the formation of the progressive party. He assailed the republicans and democrats alike, using the term “liars” several times and accusing the party leaders of being crooks, grafters, thieves, etc., and mentioning the names of men in several states who are in the Roosevelt list of dishonorable. Among these was Senator Elihu Root, of New York, whom Roosevelt, as president, beseeched to give up his practice as a lawyer in New-York City after the death of John Hay and to return to the Roosevelt cabinet as secretary of state, only a short time after Mr. Root had resigned as secretary of war to engage-in the practice of law. The same Elihjj Root whom Mr. Roosevelt had endorsed in the highest terms until he refused to desert the party that had.honored him, which seems to be mainly the test of Roosevelt and Beveridge honesty, . There is probably no man in the United States today of greater personal integrity or possessing higher standards of national honor than Elihu Root, apd ■ Mr. Beveridge will ffipke no friends where Mr. Root’s qualities are understood by assailing him. Senator Beveridge has long favored a tariff commission for control of the tariff question. He argued for it in his speech Tuesday, and stated-that many republicans -had said they favor it. He did not say that the* Payne-Aldrich tariff measure, which he voted against, provided a commission to investigate the cost of production at home and abroad, that such a commission was appointed, that it was non-partisan and that it proceeded to organize and began its labors and secured information which it presented to congress affecting schedules vital to the people. It _was a beginning that would by this ’very time have revolutionized the tariff question, taken it out of politics and accomplished the very purpose which Senator Beveridge declares so desirable, and yet it was not supported by BeVeridge and he withdrew from the republican party at the very threshold of accomplishing what Jie wanted, Senator Beveridge made simple mention of the initiative, referendum and the recall. He charged that he had been told by the “gang in Indianapolis” that no one cared a rap for the children, jnd with the Beveridge brand of modesty suggested that he was the only person who cared about child employment legislation. Probably tjie most interesting part of his speech, because it was the most ridiculous, was his charge . that republican and democratic newspapers have refused to state that United States senators hre this year elected by 'direct vote of the people. The object of such refusal was not suggested and what advantage any party or any individual could have in concealing the fact United States senators are thus to be chosen was nol; even spoken of. It is a slam at the intelligence of the people to say that they do not know that senators are now elected by the direct votes of the people. The republican, democratic and progressive parties in state convention have each nominated a- candidate, the name appears at the head of the state tickets carried in the newspapers and every man who votes in Indiana this fall will east his ballot directly for either Hugh T. Miller, the republican candidate; Benjamin F. Shively, the democratic candidate; Albert J. Beveridge, the progressive candidate, or one of the nominees of the less prominent parties. There would be no object
