MONEY ONE WAY OUT.

The Republicans of Indiana have been placed in a peculiar and distressing position—-one which they can ■ >nly escape and still retain their self respect by voting the Democratic ticket. Barnard and Crumpacker are standpat congressmen who want to be re-elected. "Insurgent" Beveridge is urging their election and they are urging his election. Beveridge, who is using his child labor bill (which was never passed), urges the election to congress of Thompson, in the Eleventh district, who is a rank opposer of child labor legislation and who spent a large portion of his. time at Indianapolis before the legislature of Indiana to defeat the child labor bill offered by the labor unions, and its defeat was due in a great measure, if not ambst entirely to his efforts.

Commenting on this anomalous condition. John W. Kern said, at X ortji Manchester: “Here you have the curious condition of Barnard and Crumpacker urging the election of Beveridge, and Beveridge urging the election of Barnard and Crumpacker on one side, and on the other side you have Beveridge declaring.that he will yet succeed in passing a child labor law. and Thompson, his candidate for corns gress. in the legislature working' to defeat the passing a child labor law in Indiana. Thompson saysße-elect r. Beveridge.’ and Beveridge says: Be sure to elect Thompson,’ Is it any wonder that there is danger of the Republican voters going crazy when they have to listen to such arguments as the?e?"
