Talking about “bossism” there never was in Indiana a more thoroughly bossed convention than the Republican affair of April 5. If Hon. Albert J. didii’t boss it to a “fare-you-well,” no convention was ever or ever will be bossed. The old guard were not allowed what is commonly called a “look-in.” ‘lt is said that President Taft, since Mr. Beveridge’s state convention was held, has daily received many letter, telegrams, resolutions of Republican Editorial associations and other tariff, the stand Mr. JQeveridge’s convention did not approve. Indiana Republicans, it seems, will be forced to a more definite choice between Taft and Beveridge than that made in their state convention.

Congressman Dalzell, a regular Republican from Pennsylvania, says that “No sell-respecting Republican can vote for a candidate on the Indiana platform.” That is Mt. Dalzell’s view, but our opinion is that all self-re-specting Republicans and other? self-respecting persons might do a whole lot for themselves by voting the Democratic ticket, it will be an easy and,.a commendable thing to do. ' E. D. Crumpacker, Republican congressman from the Tenth district. is running for re-election oh a platform which indorses the Payne-Aldrich tariij bill. He is making speeches in defense of that bill in the district. Mr. Beveridge’s state organization will not. it is said, allow any man speaking under its auspices to defend the bill. It looks, therefore, as if there would be a sensational situation in the Tenth district. Arc the Republicans satisfied .with their county option law,’or are they not? Their state platform is silent on the subject. Do they approve everything that the platform didn’t mention? It didn’t mention the Payne-Ald-rich bill. It didn’t mention Mr. Beveridge’s vote against "that bill. Or do they disapprove everything ■ except- such as were specifically indorsed? Any way you take it that Republican platform is a funny proposition.

In his speech before his personally managed convention Senator Beveridge talked as if the Democratic party was to blame for all the things he was criticisirig. This' was rank as well as silly ‘ hypocrisy. The Democratic 1 party has had no power in the 1 national government for fourteen years. What has Beveridge been doing the twelve years he has been in the senate that he did not sooner find out what

his party was doing? Or did he care what it was doing? ' ... “To ignore the local option law was a weak and cowardly and profitless thing to do,” says the Indianapolis Star (Rep.), speaking of-Mr. Beveridge’s convention. But the Star may be comforted when it remembers the “nonpartisan” campaign compact between Mr. Beveridge’s political managers and the leaders of the Anti-Saloon League. This “nonpartisan” arrangement can be kept out of the limelight a little easier than an open alliance, such as existed two years ago. ' Congressman Crumpacker of the Tenth district, a Taft Republican, says that if the Republicans had succeeded in defeating the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill "after five months of labor they would have had no excuse in going before the country this year. Their inability to rule would have been proved.” Qn the other hand, Mr. Beveridge’s wing of the party holds up the passage of the bill as evidence of. party perfidy. But as neither of the Republican factions offers any hope of real tariff reform the voter who consults his own interests will give his support to the Democratic party. .

The' people of Indiana should remember that the Democratic delegation in congress from this state, consisting of eleven representatives and one senator, voted solidly against the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill. On the other hand the Republican delegation, consisting of two representatives and one senator, gave two votes for the bill and one against it. And the one who voted against it (Senator Beypridge) did so on the ground that the amount of the tariff graft which the bill legalized was too large. He favors the proposition that it is entirely right for congress to empower one man to levy a private tax., upon the people for his personal benefit provided the tax is not too big. The Democratic idea is that that sort of a tax is indefensible and that

the taxing power shpuld be used solely for public purposes. Felix T, M'cWhirter, the leader of the Prohibition patty in Indiana, has this to say about the Anti-Saloon League: “The Anti-Saloon is a fungus growth, a growth that will take hold of anything that is diseased. Now the Republican party is diseased, and when the temperance question broke out two years ago the Anti-Saloon League applied a plaster and stuck to the Republican party." Perhaps it is because the Democratic party is so everlastingly sound that the esteemed league has fought it so fiercely.
