HANLY MAKES CHARGE.

Says Republican Management Has Been Silenced by Brewers. J. Frank Hanly. former Republican governor of Indiana, charges that the Republican party in Indiana has been silenced on the liquor question by the brewers. Mr. Hanly further makes the direct charge that brewery influence was exerted upon the present Republican management in Indiana (at the head of which is Senator Beveridge) and to top it all he has attacked the Indiana Supreme Court and has come out openly against Judge Oscar Montgomery, Republican nominee for election to the Supreme Bench. ' These charges were made by Hanly recently in a speech in the Methodist Episcopal church at Hartford City. Mr. Hanly makes the flat statement that the brewers have silenced the Republican party in its platform utterance on the liquor question—and this silence was brought about by brewery influence exerted upon the present party management. This has been interpreted here by some as a direct thrust at Senator Beveridge. Mr. Hanly goes further and says that this silence of the Republican party represents only the “selfish desire of ambitious and selfseeking politicians to win in this campaign." He reprimands and shames the “supposed friends” of the county option law for running away and leaving it, undefended, to its fate.
