When Roosevelt was in Indiana he gave Beveridge the credit for helping to pass the meat inspection law. He forgot to say, however, that the cost of this inspection, amounting to millions of dollars a year, is paid by the people instead of by the meat trust.

The people of this state want good government and economical government. They can get both by electing the Democratic state ticket and a Democratic legislature. thus backing up Governor Marshall’s splendid administration and giving more power to his arm.

Mr. Beveridge asks to be sent back to the senate in order that he may do something for tariff reform. He also asks that Standpatter Crum packer and Barnard be re-elected in order that the\might prevent anything being done for tariff reform. When it comes to a question of cy he is in the same cla-- as Roosevelt.

The Bayne Aldrich tariff d<*es not spare -the school children. I flier blank books, pencils, pens, ink and pen holders., their -p ng-. es. pen knives: little school boxes, school hags, book straps and the like, are all tariff-taxed at from 2a to aO per cent. It has also been pointed out that in getting ready for sch< >ol in the morning they wash with soap tariff-taxed 20 per cent,- dry themselves <«n towels tariff-taxed 25 per cent, and brush their teeth and iia’r with brushes tariff-taxed 40 per cent. These things have their part in the general high cost «-f living under Republican tariff-.

■ j-. ~~ ■ ; L harles G. Sefrit is a member of Mr. Beveridge s state executive committee, lie is also the editor of a newspaper which is stoutly supporting the senator. And Seirit as long ago as last July stated in his pa]>er that if Beveridges vote had been needed to pass the 1 ’ay ne- Aid rich tariff bill it would have been forthcoming. Beveridge has had his attention called to this statement time and again but lie has not denied its truth and it must fee assumed that Sefrit not only spoke tile truth but that he did it on the authority of the senator himself since no one else would know.

As indicating the antj-Cnim-jVacker sentiment which exists in several counties it may be of interest to note that in Warren county four years ago fifty-five republicans refused to vote- for Crumpacker and they did not-yote tor congressman at all. Two years ago the number of republicans in Warren county who .refused to vote tor congressman at all rather than support Crumpacker numbered 155 and their ranks will be largely augmented this year. Many of these republicans! have signified their intentions of voting for John B. Peterson inasmuch as they believe that lie will impartially represen: the people of the Tenth district and they are willing to giye him a trial at least, This sentiment prevail-s all over the district and indicates the retirement of Crumpacker who has, sat in congress fourteen years and hasn’t done anything yet.

It is now declared that when Mr. Roosevelt was in the Columbia Club at Indianapolis on the occasion of his late visit in behalf of Mr. Beveridge, he denounced Judge Anderson of the United States District Court as a "jackass and a crook*' and further said that he did not want his words to be “considered as confidential.” And why all this? Because, it seems, Judge Anderson decided that Indiana editors could not legally be taken down to Washington and tried there f r libel of the government. as Mr. Roosevelt desired. Judge Anderson was right, of course, but that made no difference with Theodore. But neither Judge Anderson nor any other judge wiH count when the “new nationalism" is established.

“We the jury find the defendant guilty as charged in the indictment. Ultimate Consumner. foreman of the jury.” That will be the form of the verdict which the jury composed of the Tenth district will return on November 8. They have heard the evidence and the argument in the case of Edgar D. Cnimpacker, congressman and corporation lawyer, has been charged with having betraved the interests of his constituents and supported bv vote and other wise the behemoth of Privilege in the halls of congress. The jury has given the case a careful hearing and have found that as opposed to Mr. Crumpacker’s promises and professions there stands out the incontrovertible fact that he has voted contrary to the best interests of the common people on every occasion.

The effort that Senator Beveridge is making to convince the people of Indiana that his pres- ;> ent fight is "against the bosses” : will not stand the test. There Jis no "bossier" boss than Beveridge himself.' As an Indianapolis dispatch says. "Senator Beverirlge ha- captured the Republican mac onery and dominates the o:gan : 7atiofi from precinct commu- # teeman to the members of the state committee. They are all »f his own choosing. And never \ has a political machine in Indiana had at its head a man so dominating. autocratic and head-strong. He sub-bosses in each district and county.” Th e >e subbosses help “Baron” Rothschild, Beveridge s chief sub-boss at Inliianapoli.-. to parcel out the pat- . ronage and run the machine. As ]a matter of cold fact the Repubj Sjcan party of this state never had s a more arbitrary boss than it has Gust now in the person <>t Bever- | idge.

. The candidacy of John B. Be ter son who is making the race for congressman from this district ha- caused unbounded amazement in the ranks of the standpatters and amazement has been succeeded by consternation among the machine politicians who for many years have manipulated the congressi,-nal situation to suit themselves. Everywhere that Mr. I eters<<n has appeared he ha- been greeted by splendid audiences who departed convinced that here was a man whom they • c,»ut ! trust to represent them •j fairly and honestly in the States \ ami hundreds of voters have voljjantaiily offered assurance of supJpoift and they are busy telling 1 their friends that at last there is an opportunity for the Tenth dis trict to get in line with the pro-gre--he movement which is sweeping the country. Evert indication point- to the election of of Mr. Peterson by a good majority. ~A
