BEVERIDGE SAID TO BE INSINCERE

{Would Have Voted For Tariff Bill If His Vote Had Been Necessary to Pass It. REPUBLICAN MAKES CHARGES Eleventh District Postoffica Row Agitates G. O. P. State Organization. (Staff Correspondence.) • Indianapolis.—ls Beveridge sincere? Charles E. Sefrit. editor of the Washington Herald, a rock-ribbed Republican newspaper at Washington, Ind., says “No!” Sefrit’s paper is regarded as a Republican oracle and Sefrit aS the strongest Republican ed-

itorial writer in Indiana. He has made the statement editorially in the Herald that if Beveridge’s vote had been needed for the passage of the Payrie-Aldrich tariff bill, Beveridge would have voted for it. The news created somewhat of a Sensation among Indiana Republicans who, heretofore, had taken Beveridge at his word. With this flaw, in his . record nothing is left him upon which to stand, it b%ing his announced intention to mak« his campaign as an insurgent upon the Payne-Aldrich hill. The Scott County Journal, commenting upon Sefrit’s charge, Says: "The editorial puts Beveridge in the position of a rank hypocrite and political chareltan, and that his vote in the Senate, Ms state convention speech and his state platfbrm is only to fool the people. The editorial is addressed to those Republicans in Indiana who are finding fault with Beveridge because he did not vote for the bill. Hemenway, Cannon and Aldrich, on hearing the news, “jes’ laffed.” The conservative element of the Republican party, which is opposing Beveridge, is said to have entertained this view of his activities for some timn. In a degree, it is explained, this is one of the secrets of their dislike for him as a political figure. They believe he is not sincere in his acts and speeches, and that he is “playing to the gallery.” The “Man Higher Up.”'

No doubt exists in the minds of poli* ticians here that James E. Watson was referring to Senator Beveridge when, in his denial of certain charges made by Hamilton Fish in New York, he declared that tlese charges were inspired by seme one in Indiana. In his denial, also, Mr. Watson steps forward and shoaiders the responsibility for the tariff commission, which is one of the trump cards in Senator Beveridge’s political deck. These two attacks upon Senator Beveridge by Mr. Watson are a development of the fight that is being waged against Beveridge by the element of the Republican party with which Mr. Watson stands—the “regular” Republicans, who question Senator Beveridge’s sincerity and for that reason regard him as highly dangerous to the party’s interests. No names were mentioned by Mr. Watson when he spoke of the man "higher up,” but it was not necessary hpre. He made it clear that Congressman Fish, in his opinion, was not responsible for the charges he uttered against Watson, and branded the man who inspired them as too cowardly to come out into the open and make them himself. Watson Denies Charge.

Congressman Fish charges that Wat son used his influence and knowledge a? a former member of the Ways and Means Committee in Congress to in fluence legislation in behalf of the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill. “The statement is made.” says Congressman Fish, “that Mr. Watson's fees as special representative for certain parties before the Ways and Means Committee were larger than he

received for his term in Congress.” .This Mr. Watson denies. Then he adds: : "“""‘.'J ■ “But why did Mr. Fish assail me in New York? Manifestly the people of that state* are not interested in my actions, and this leads me to the inevitable conclusion that he must have been inspired to this course by some residents of the Hoosler state, and that his fabrication was uttered not , for the benefit of the citizens of New York, but for consumption in Ihdiaaa. Democrats Plan Organization. Further plana for the 7 complete organization of every voting precinct in Indiana have been made by the Democratic^State Committee. It is announced that these district meetings which will be called by the respective district chairmen, will be attended by the chairman and secre-

tary of each county in the district, by all of the county candidates, by the congressional nominee, a number of the state candidates and in each case by the state chairman, U. S. Jackson. i

The district, meetings are expected to serve a double purpose in that they will arouse enthusiasm and also permit the formation of a better organization, At these meetings the district situation will be discussed in detail and there will be speeches by some of the state ca'ndi dates. Plans will be laid which will later be taken up in county meetings. It is by getting the organization into each county and down into each precinct that the State Committee expects to clinch the victory that is already in the air. At the county meetings, which will be held soon after the district meetings, the precinct committeemen will be called in and will take part in the discussion of the best means to perfect the organization of precincts. There will be speakers at these meetings also —and again organization and enthusiasm will go hand in hand; Dates of Meetings.

Dr. T. D. Scales will call a district meeting in the First District, August sth, at Evansville. Chairman Fabius Qwinn will hold his meeting in the Second District, at Vincennes, August 6th. The meeting in the Third will be at New Albany August Bth, called by Chairman Mark-Storen. The Fourth District meeting 3 Will be held at North Vernon, August 12th. Francis ML Griffith is chairman. Chairman Peter Foley will call the Fifth District meeting for August 16th at Terre Haute. In the Sixth District Chairman John Osborn "beat the commitjtee to it.” He has already called and held one of the meetings and has obtained good results. Announcement of the dates in the Seventh and Eighth Districts was deferred, The Eighth District meeting is also a matter of history. W. E. Longley, chairman of that district, presided over such a meeting recently at Lebanon.

The Tenth District meeting will be held at Gary, August 20, and will be called by Chairman Charles Murphy. The Eleventh District will announce a date later and the Twelfth District has already held a meeting at Fort, Wayne where the chairman, E. G. Hoffman, entertained his guests at a banquet. Chairman Peter Kruyer will hold the Thirteenth' District' meeting at Plymouth August 19th. Neal Called “Double-dealer.”

The Republican postoffice’ row at Hartford City in the Eleventh District is a heavy burden for Edwin M. Lee, Republican State Chairman. It is the hottest postoffice fight that the Republicans have known this year, although postoffice troubles are known to be a great source of dissatisfaction In every district in the state.

The charges made by Henry Geisler of Hartford City that Elam Neal, as dispenser of patronage for Senator Beveridge in the Eleventh District, promised Geisler the Hartford City postoffice and then deliberately “sold out” to L. C. Johnson, who was appointed, have upset the district and the state chairman. Moreover, Geisler promises to tell other things that will not add to Chairman Lee’s pleasure.

It is known that Neal, who is revenue collector under Beveridge in Indianapolis and who is also chairman of the Eleventh Distriet, is a source of never-ending discomfort to the Republicans of that district. Many of them are followers of Senator Beveridge, but are so utterly opposed to Neal that they can’t make up their minds to support him, knowing that Neal will, in the event of Beveridge’s re-election, continue to be the dispenser of Eleventh District patronage. The thought of Neal firmly intrenched in the saddle for six years more is too much for their digestion. Again, they can not quite come t? the idea of being represented in Congress by John L. Thompson, of Gas City. He is the father-in-law of Neal’s daughter, and Neal would have a whip in each ha*d should Thompson be successful. It was to gain the congressional nomination for Thompson that Neal is said to have switched his support in the postoffice fight from Geisler to Johnson.

Admits Lake County Frauds. “The Indianapolis Sun, which is a Republican newspaper, owned and edited by Rudolph G. Leeds, charges that every Republican elected on the state ticket two years ago and now occupying office in the state house, was elected dishonestly, through illegal and corrupt practices. Now, will these gentlemen who profess to be honest officials, rest under this charge coming, as it does, from their own party? Or’will the Sun go a step further, and demand that these officials surrender their offices to the Democrats who were defeated on the face of the returns?" This is the statement of U. S. Jackson, Democratic State Chairman, based upon the admission of Republicans that their State candidates elected

j two years ago were elected illegally. This charge was made by Democrats at the time, but with the machinery in Republican hands there was no possibility of making it stick. Evidence was gathered to show that 2,000 of the 2,700 foreigners who voted the Republican ticket in Lake county two year 3 ago were voted illegally. Records oft the Immigration Bureau show that they had not been in the United Spates to exceed six months when they voted. The law requires a year’s residence. The 2,000 votes, which are now admitted by Republicans to have been illegal and corrupt, defeated the Democratic ticket with the exception of governor and lieutenant-governor and supterintendent of public instruction. If they had not been cast the entire Democratic ticket would have been elected. The Republicans won by not

“The Democrats charged fraud and illegal practices at the time,” said Mr. Jackson, "and now the Republicans admit it. Is it not up to them to resign and surrender each office to the Democrats swho were thus illegally defeated ? I call upon them to do so if they are honest, conscientious men.” •

The Sun is a rampant Beveridge supporter and is understood to be very close to the senator, so close in fact that the inference is being drawn that if Beveridge did not know and approve of the Sun’s charges before they were made he was at least not averse to their being published

VERY THOROUGH.

William Loeb, Jr., Xew York’s Collector of Customs, was talking about smuggling. “Smuggling must cease,” he said. “We’ll make it cease if we have to'be as strict as tlhe French customs officer. ‘‘This strict officer, standing ou the pier, frowned on a tourist with a swollen cheek. “ ‘What have you got there?” he said, pointing to tihe swelling. “ ‘An abscess, sir, 5 was the reply. “ ‘Well, 5 said the officer, impatiently, “open it, please.’ ”

IF WE ALL HAD MONEY.

The famous Caruso, promenading the deck of the Kaiser Wilhelm 11. on a morning of glorious sunshine, talked to an editor discontentedly. “I have no future: nothing to hope for,” he said. “I have climbed as far as it is possible to climb. Since I am at the top. my next move must be down hill.” The editor laughed. “Think of the money you have made, Mr, Caruso!” he cried enviously. ■ But even this thought did not comfort the tenor. “Money is nothing in itself,” said he. ‘‘Suppose we all had money. Suppose every man jack of us had 540,000 to 550.000 a year. Then we’d all have to wash our 6wn clothes and black our own boots.”

ENOUGH TO SINK HIM.

Colonel Chauricey Dewey, - Inspector General of the Illinois National Guard, told at a dinner in Chicago a Fourth of July story. “One of our Admirals,” he said, “showed the proper Fourth of July spirit at a Fourth of July banquet of the American colony in London. . ■ “An English Admiral, discussing Dreadnoughts with our own sea dog at this banquet, said: “ ‘You and I are seamen, and you can sympathize with me when I tell you, sir, that the one dream of my life is to command a British Dreadnough, and to lav her alongside .of an American Dreadnought of the same strength for 20 minutes.’ ‘‘ ‘Twenty?* said our Admiral. ‘Oh, 10 would be enough/ ”
