Jasper County Democrat, Volume 13, Number 50, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 October 1910 — BEVERIDGE DIDN'T OBJECT. [ARTICLE]

BEVERIDGE DIDN'T OBJECT.

That old-line Republican paper, the Newport Hoosier State, has found it impossible to “stomach" the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt. The Hoosier State doesn’t know whether or not Senator Lorimer .of" Illinois is guilty of bribing his v. ay into the senate, but it thinks* that if Fairbanks. Beveridge and Cannon and "other celebrities" did not object to meeting hint at the banquet board, Roosevelt ’had no cause to refuse. The 1 paper says that "Theodore Roosevelt, the great African hunter, who made a swing around the circle last week in the interest of a muck raking magazine of Xew York, to wliidh 'muck-raker' he is a contributing editor,” created quite a sensation declining to sit with Lorimer, and then it adds the following :

“Let’s gee. Didn’t certain Indianapolis and New York dailies nave something to say a few years ago about a certain Panama canal deal? Were those papers not sued for libel ? Have they been convicted yet? Couldn't Lorimer with the same propriety refused to have attended the banquet with a min charged with Panama crookedness?"

When the Hon. Theodore invades Indiana the middle of October perhaps'he will explain how it happened that he refused to sit at the table with a man whom Beveridge, the man he comes to uphold, was glad to break bread.
