A QUESTION OF SINCERETY.

The point is made that Mr. Beveridge is hardly entitled to appeal for votes because h'e was a Democrat - long enough to vote against the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill. He has since that time been trying to get back into the partv traces. To prove that lie wa> not too much of a Democrat and was not really as bitter about tee tariff, bill as lie seemed when he held his state c -nvention. one of his warmest supporters, viz..' Editor Sefrit of the Washington Herald, said last August that “If Senator Beveridge s vote had been needed it would have been cast in favor of the Payne-Aldrich bill.” Mr. Beveridge has never denied that this is so. He has never even said that Mr. Sefrit spoke without authority. It must be assumed, therefore, that Sefrit knew what he was talking about and that his knowledge came from Beveridge, who was the only man who really knew Beveridge’s mind.
