Republican Believes Beveridge’s Tariff Attitude Is Not Sincere. In the absence of any denial from j Senator Beveridge, or any explanation from Charles G. Sefrit, of Wash--1 ington, Ind., Mr. Sefrit's statement in I the Washington Herald on Monday, | July 18, 1910, that Senator Beveridge ! would have voted for the Payne-Ald-j rich tariff bill if his one vote had been ; necessary for its passage, is gaining ' credence even among the Republicans. 1 But, it Is not having the effect Intended by Mr. Selrit. He, as editor of the ' paper, published in an attempt to line l up the conservative .Republicans to i w hom Senator Beveridge’s attitude on ■ the tariff is repugnant. It is now having an entirely different result. It is ' driving Republicans to the conclusion that Senator Beveridge ft insincere and that the only way to bring about ■ desired reforms is through the election of a Democratic Senator. ! This is the view taken by Captain H. H. Stewart, of Kokomo, a Republican, who has represented Howard County in the Indiana Legislature. Capt. Stewart has come out openly in a set speech appealing for support in ■ behalf of the Democratic Congres- ' sional ticket in the Ninth district, and j the Democratic Legislative tickets in ' the state senatorial district of Howard and Miami counties, and the joint rep ; resentative district in the counties of Howard, Miami and Carroll, and for j the Democratic candidate for represenj tative in Howard county. Capt. Stewart indicated that he was j Impressed with the entire correctness of the declaration of Mr. Sefrit that ! Senator Beveridge’s vote for the ! Payne-Aldrlch tariff - bill would have j been forthcoming had his vote been necessary to the passage of the bill.
