Mr. Howar 1 Campbell of Richmond. one of the biggest manufacturers in the state, is being severely denounced by high protection Republicans because he has come to the conclusion that the tai iff should be put on a revenue basis and that “protection” is doing more harm than good. Some of his denouncers advise Mr. Campbell to join the Democratic party. Perhaps he will. He cannot consistently vote with the Republicans.

It seems that there is a 'mystery about the membership 01 that declectable fiscal organization known to fame as the AntiSaloon League. The Prohibitionists are on record as saying that the league 'has no members—only paid officers, who collect their salary money from the churches and from other sources unknown. If the league has no members through whom does it propose to act in carrying on its “non-partisan” campaign—the campaign wherein it will “work tooth and nail for the Republicans”? Is this work to be done through local Republican organizations, under the direction of the Republican state committee, as was the case two years ago?

Surely the delectable league does .not expect any help from Democrats. No self-rejspecting Democrat —not if he Icnows what he is doing—will ‘work tooth and nail'” against himself and his own partv and in the interest of conditions L at, have become intolerable. ■ "

The Indiana Republican candidate- for congress met and resolved that they will vote for Crumpacker for speaker (provided he is elected >. If Cannon is the caucus nominee, however, they will vote for Cannon for -peaker. And anyhow. Crumpacker is and has been a Cannon supporter and is no better than the Illinois man. Is the insurgency campaign just naturally petering out in Indiana for the want of honest leadership?

The . statement has been put forth that those Republican politicians whose only interest in political contests centers about the spoils of office will rally to the support of the state ticket. But what if they do? It is not the spoils of office that the people are concerned about. On the contrary it is the honest and economical administration of public offices that they have in mind. It is the votes of the taxpayers that will count this year. and not the support of the spoilsmen.

" “Speaking of the Oklahoma Indian lands rescality which Senator Gore uncovered, the Indianapolis News says that the senator "has performed a great public service." This statement is quite in contrast with the opinion of the Indianapolis Star (Beveridge organ ) that Senator Gore "is the loser” by starting the investigation. Well, the Star's candidate (Beveridge) has never started any investigations. What the senate needs is a few more men with Gore's moral courage and hones tv.

A great deal of fuss is being made by the Republican press of the state over the fact that exVice President Fairbanks has said that he would take part in the campaign. But why? Was there ever any doubt about it? It was known, of course, that Beveridge and his faction threw cold water on Mr. Fairbanks’ candidacy two years ago, but the latter gentleman makes it a point to be regular. It is a. part of his Business, The mere fact that he was suspected shows how desperate the case is with the crowd now in control of the Republican organization.

It is a hard job that has been assigned to Louis Ludlow, the war correspondent of the Indianapolis Star, the chief Beveridge organ. He is expected to travel about the state and pick up a "leading citizen" here and there who will consent to an interview—with a picture accompaniment—in which there is something lauditory about Beveridge. Mr. Ludlow is a fertile writer, with a fine imagination, but he seems to be having the toughest experience of his newspaper career in trying to place Beveridge as the "greatest statesman” of this or any other age. Doubtless the whole thing is as funny to Ludlow as it is to other persons,.

ABOUT ELECTION FRAUDS

The attack by', that stanch republican paper. the Indianapolis Sun., upon the election frauds perpetrated in Indiana two years ago in the interest of the republican state and national tickets caused a great flutter among the politicians responsible for them. It was made plain by the Sun that the defeat of /most of the democratic state ticket was due Ito these frauds, but the fact was just as well known at the time they occurred. The thing to do now is to see that they are not repeated next November. If the republican senate had joined the democratic house in passing what the republican papers called the "Marshall bill.” frauds of the kind that disgraced Lake county —and to some extent other counties—two years ago would be impossible. But the senate would not pass the bill. It is the duty of all good citizens to join the democratic organization in its effort not only/ to prevent but to stamp out election crime. And if a few interestel politicians get into the the fact may have a tendency to clear the political atmosphere for a good many years, if not for all time. 1

Ex-President Roosevelt wa| givetf another jolt by the New York . republicans this week when he was. rejected for chairman of their state convention by a vote of 20 to 15 by the state committee.

LOADING THE ELEPHANT.

It is said that Congressman Crumpacker (standpatter) of the Tenth district threatened to stump the state against Beveridge if the state committee allowed. the latter to make speeches in his district. And yet the Republican congressional candidates (if any of them are elected I have agreed to vote for Crumpacker for speaker—provided Crumpacker is elected. No wonder the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette says; .

“With Senator Beveridge, the arch insurgent, warmly indorsed for and Congressman Crumpacker, the arch standpatter, boomed for speaker of the house, the Republican party managers have succeeded in loading the old party elephant in Indiana with a beautiful conglomeration of mixed baggage. It is admitted that the indorsement of Congressman Crumpacker was the work, of the new party managers, the amateurs at the business. The older heads would hardly have had the bravery to have fostered the deception or have been foolhardy enough to have even expected the rank and file of the G. O. P. in Indiana to swallow the bitter pill.”

NO DANGER IX INDIANA

In a speech before the Young Men’s Democratic club at Kansas City last week Ex-Governor Folk, of Missouri, said:

"I have been in most of the Western states in the last few weeks and found everywhere numbers of Democrats who were joining the insurgents in the Republican party. Right here is the danger to the Democratic organization, and the sooner this fact is recognized the better. This movement toward the insurgent element is not confined to one state, but in Oregon, California. and Washington I heard the. same story.”

There is no movement of the kind referred to by Mr. Folk in Indiana. If such a tendency exists in any other state it certainly is not—should not be participated in by real democrats. Every democrat ought to be bright enough to know that the insurgency movement among Republicans is good only to the extent it has moved toward the reforms in government that the democratic party 'has, been demanding for a generation, at least. But the insurgent leaders declare that they are still republicans and assert with great positiveness that they do not mean to separate themselves from the republican party. And no doubt this is true of the insurgent leaders. But it is a different matter with the insurgent rank and file. They will realize after awhile — and perhaps already realize — that they can get through the Democratic party a great deal more than they can possihly get as insurgents. Naturally they will flock into the Democratic party —the best and most intelligent of them. A fine spectacle therefore, will any so-called Democrat cut who forsakes his own organization for less than a mess of pottage.
