The Hon, James E. Watson has served notice that he intends to make speeches in Indiana regardless of the wishes of Mr. Beveridge's state organization. And he lias also made it plain that he intends to peel as much hide off of the insurgents as he can.

It is not at all strange that the Republican state organization should be worried about the attitude of several eminent regulars. These men took no part in Mr. Beveridge’s convention and therefore, doubtless, feel free to do as they please during the campaign. When any particularly good proposition in congress has been carried agaijist tlte vote- of the Republicans, the antiregular Republican papers announce the fact in big headlines, thus.: ‘'lnsurgents Win Big Victory.” The fact is, of course, that the Democrats furnished nearly all of the votes and won the victor}' with the aid of a few insurgents.

--• ' John G. Woolley, a former candidate of the Prohibition party for president; comes to the front with the statement.that that party has outlived its usefulness. Is it possible that Woolley has been won over by that rival organization, the Anti-Saloon

League, which, according to the leading Indiana Prohibitionist, Felix T. McWhirter, “has no members,” but only salaried officers ?

When a leading Republican, writing about Senator Beveridge, says that “ingratitude, treachery' and (the swelled head may hurt this chances.” he cannot be classed as an enthusiastic supporter. And when still other leading Republicans are willing to go on record as saying that "he thinks he is bigger than his party.” that there is “too much 1" about him, hat he overflows with ‘‘egotism’’ and many other similarly disparaging things, it is clear that he has succeeded in leaving a bad taste in the mouths of many persons in his party.

The defenders of the PayneAldrich tariff are now saying that !tariffs do not increase prices. If this is so. what is meant bv tariff jfor "protection” and why should anyone want it? But it does increase prices and does it outrageously. As Champ Clark, Democratic leader in the national house, saiid: "Not only the suit of clothes, but everything else that the workingman uses, has [gone up in price. The denim overalls that he formerly purchase 1 for 50 cents are now 75 cents, and his cotton shirt has advanced from 50 cents to 75 cents and SI. He is still offered a 50-cent shirt, but it is made of a poor flimsy fabric in which he really cannot afford to invest if he has the price of better quality.”

The effort of_ the Indiana Beveridge organs tp niake it appear that the failure the people to re-elect Beveridge to the United. States senate will mean that they have been bought up by “the interests” and are unfit for selfgovernment, is most tiresomely silly. What the people of Indiana want is a man in the senate who, like Senator Shively, will vote for all of the measures that will benefit the masses and against all of the measures designed to confer special favors and privileges on a few persons. Such a mail is John \V. Kern. Mr. Beveridge has himself been the beneficiary of “the interests.” He stands right now forjnany things that these same interests want and for very little that the people want. The people of Indiana will show good sense, good judgment and a thorough knowledge of the real situation by returning Beveridge to private life.
