Jasper County Democrat, Volume 19, Number 63, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 4 November 1916 — “NO HOPE,” SAYS BEVERIDGE. [ARTICLE]

“NO HOPE,” SAYS BEVERIDGE.

“The agents and newspapers of the old republican machine are trying to make believe that the stand-pat reactionary republican leaders have been driven from party power. Look at facts. From ocean to ocean the ablest, shrewdest and boldest of the reactionary leadership that wrecked the republican party is in command Here in Indiana the republican managers are men who were lieutenants in the old machine, whose orders the republican organization are carrying out this very moment. Promises of a reform from a party so controlled insult the intelligence of the people, for breaking promises is their specialty.”—Senator Albert J. Beveridge to Progressive state convention, Indianapolis, April 18, 1915.
