"If the republican party baa not always been an aggressive and procreeeive one, then I have been very badly fooled all my life. I am an Abrabam Lincoln republican and nothing else." "Would It be safe to say, you will support the primary Indorsement of Senator Beverldge by the republican party?" he was asked. "No. sir. It would not," was the quick reply. "You may say I am a republican, and if that does not cover It r do not know what more I can say." . Two Other talkers. Charles W.

Scores of Interviews since the meeting attest the popular favor with which it was received in Indianapolis, many prominent republicans expressing their views freely for publication. In the light of their lateat action the recent trip of Durbln and James Watson to New York after a conference with James Hemenway and Charles W. Fairbanks Is recalled with still more latereet. It Is leading many to the belief that Senator Beverldge had inside information Indeed when he said In his keynote speech "the interests" were reported to be bringing a cam- ; palgn barrel Into Indiana in an at- - tempt to defeat him. "This la your fight," he told the people of Indiana, and dally developments are . confirming the statement more forcibly than over, say critical observers. 8pecial reports to the state headquarters show that the Senator la being received with even more enthusiasm , . than was expected, tf that la possible. Commenters upon hie opening epeech recall that although It strengthened bis stand upon the national Issues It was notably free from personal attack, and although It waa stralghtforward and specific In the fight It did not run to animosity.

Jordan, the outgoing superintendent, was most pleasantly surprised before the meeting.
