PROGRESSIVE MOVE IN STATE DEPENDS 0(1 A, J, BEVERIDGE
Likewise the Fate of the Former Senator Will Depend Upon His Position on the Same Question.
(Confinurd from Page One)
cape were the cuntomary avenues by
which Republican renegades reached the militant ranks of Democracy.
Next Tuesday is a red letter day among the reactionaries of this state.
Pursuant to the call of Jim Watson, ex-statesman and chief mentor of
standpattism, a multitude of the old
war horses will gather in the crumbs
which fall from the Watson board.
Such celebrated statesmen as George
Cromer, Jim Ilemenway, Oscar Had
ley, Joe Kealing and Frank Posey
will assemble at the call of "Our Jim' to pay homage to "Sunny Jim" Staer man and "Uncle Joe" Cannon.
"Uncle Joyp" will be In Rushvllle for one day only and Watson is telling all
his friends to be present on that day,
New Castle and Charlie Hernly will entertain the remnants of the same
crowd on the following day but if Ed
Lee and company attend the Rushvllle
pow-wow, standpatters may conclude
that the evil of a one day stand is sufficient therefor. Mr. Lee wasn't cer
tain whether he would attend. He did not receive an invitation.
"Sunny Jim" will arrive in Indiana
polis at 1 o'clock Tuesday in broad daylight. He will go to Rushvllle with
a well selected crowd of veterans, including such distinguished compa
triots and servants of the grand old
party as John Rillheimer and Oscar
Hadley. John Kern and other well
meaning Democrats under the patron
age of Frank Hall will mingle with
the Republicans until 6 o'clock. At that time Republicans and Democrats
will seek their respective eyries, there
to proclaim and hear proclaimed the
famous deeds of old from the time
of HoratiouB at the Bridge down to
the defeat, of Canadian reciprocity. Republicans will tell how the slaves were freed, how Joshua captured Jericho and how Hobson sank the Merrimac. Democrats will denounce the tyranny of Alexander Hamilton, disparge the unfeeling atatltude of union labor and deplore the "crime of 73." Special favors have been bestowed upon certain pseudo-statesmen in the wa yof personal imitations from Jim Watso. Less favored ones those persons whom it was necessary to the Rushvllle meeting for the same reason that extra silverware Is necessary at a social "crush," received formal Invitations from "Uncle Jack" Gowdy's committee. The speaking will take place In the Chautauqua auditorium which is said to have a seatine capacity of 2,600 standpatters. No measurements have ever been taken for a mixed crowd and the capacity may be reduced materially if very many insurgents at tend.
Although the prevailing opinion expressed in Indianapolis hotels is that State Chairman Lee is taking several months to set up political pins to be knocked down with one fell stroke by the standpatters, a closer analysis of the Republican situation foreshadows an entirely different result. By supreme effort, Lee may be beaten, but if he retains the full strength of the Beveridge wing of the party, he will greatly embarrass the reactionaries in the reorganisation of the party. That Taft will further discredit himself in the next congress is almost as certain as turns in a long road. His administration has been one grand exhibition of political blunders, almost as distasteful to standpatters as they were disappointing to progressives. If the standpatters should be forced to turn against Taft In the next campaign which they will do only as a last means of self-defense, they will be in a worse position than the progressives. Political orphanage is a state heretofore unknown to many of the sons of O. O. Party, those accustomed to get dally nourishment from the horn of political patronage. Fish frys and chicken dinners are poor provender for a campaign compared to promises from militant leaders standing upon well seasoned platforms.
False rumors are abroad concerning the present status of one, Elam H. Neal, former Eleventh district chairman, present revenue collector. Neal is generally thought to have taken his carpet bag and his broad smile and gone over to the ranks of the enemy. Beveridge tried to make Neal a scapegoat In a desperate moment when be sought to provide an upholstered berth for Edwine E. Lee. Neal outwit-

at a time when it was useless to do otherwise, acquiesced to Neal's wav of thinking. Neal's relations with Senator Beveridge were strained in the campaign of 1910 when George Lockwood was made a member of the committee of resolutions from the Eleventh district, in the state convention, contrary to the wishes of Beveridge. lockwood was expected to, and did make a fight for a plank indorsing county local option. Beveridge called upon Neal to prevent the Marion editor s appointment to the committee but Eleventh district politicians including Neal already had been pledged to Lockwood. When the charge were renewed against Neal by the civil service commissioner, Beveridge took advantage of the situation and of the strained relations to insist that Neal retire in favor of lee. But not Mr. Neal. He gained his cunning several years ago by lighting standpatters in Marion and Hartford City and the old landmarks established by the friends of George W. Steele soon fell in ruins. In a half hour interview with President Taft in July, Neal convinced him that the civil service commission and its allies didn't have a thing on him. Literally Neal hails from Jonesboro but so far as Beveridge is concerned he is from Missouri and it's up to the former senator to be good for the edification of his chief support in the Eleventh district. If Beveridge leaves out horse play Neal reasonably may be expected t he his friend in the future.

he ever had before in his party or out of it. As it now appears Champ Clark will have two opponents who will give him concern. Governor Wood row Wilson of New Jersey, and Governor Judson Harmon of Ohio, are today standing out as the two most promising leaders of the Democratic party, with the one exception of the sneaker. They have friends in every part of the country, and these friends are becoming more and more active every day. Wilson will divide the South with
Clark. There is a greater Wilson sentiment In the Southern States than exists at this time for any other Democratic presidential possibility. This sentiment will have to be combatted by Speaker Clark if he is to win the nomination. He may have the active support of Sryan in weaning the Southern states from Wilson, but then he may have only the passive support
of the Nebraskan. Mr. Bryan has so ; far found no objections to Governor I Wilson. j Harmon will find his strength in the
East, and in his home state. NewYork, Pennsylvania. Ohio and one or two other states are looked to to give Governor Harmon their suport, and in them there is an important nucleus. Just where the deciding delegations are to come from is not now certain.
Some politicians say that New Eng- J land can, if it holds together, control i the next Democratic national conven- J
tion by holding the balance of power between the other sections of the country. This seems reasonable when
ADMIRALS IN THE MAKING. The Course For Midhipmen at th Naval Academy and at Sea. Two midshipmen are appointed each year by every United States senator and congressman, two are credited to the District of Columbia, and five are named each year from the United States at large. All are generally chosen by competitive examination. The course for the midshipman is six years, four years at the academy and two years at sea, at the expiration of which time the candidate is required to take his examination for graduation. All midshipmen who pass these examinations are appointed to fill vacancies in the lower grade of the line of the navy. All candidates for admission to the academy must be physically sound, well formed and of vigorous constitution. No boy who Is manifestly undersized will be admitted. The height of the candidate must not be less than five feet two inches between the ages of sixteen and eighteen and not less than five feet four inches between the ages of eighteen and twenty. The minimum weight of the candidate at sixteen must be 100, with an increase of five pounds for each additional year or fraction of a year more than onehalf. No midshipman Is permitted to marry between the date of his graduation from the academy and his final grad nation for appointment in the line without the consent of the secretary of the navy. The pay of the midship man is SGOO a year, beginning with the date of his admission to the academy

(National News Association I WASHINGTON. Oct. 7. Those Democratic politicians who counted Speaker Champ Clark out of the race for the nomination for the Presidency are now wondering if they were not a little rash. The big Missourian has gained more in strength within the last six weeks than any other candidate, and now he stands out as the most likely man in the fight. Of course the fight for the Democratic nomination is not over. It probably will not be over until the final ballot is cast in the convention, but as pre-convention calculations go, it appears, just at this time, as if, Speaker Clark had the best of the race. Friends of the speaker are busy too, asking, "Why Not?" They are pointing to the qualifications of the Missourian tor the Presidency. Their argument is particularly impressive when they insist that a man with eighteen years of legislative experience in the house of representatives is perhaps as wll qualified as one could be for the Chief Executiveship. They point to the fact that McKinley had only his work in the house to educate him for the Presidency. And it is a fact that McKinley was on better terms with the legislative branch of the government than any President has been since the Civil war. His friends in the house helped him out on all his legislative programs and Senator Hanna was always ready to manage affairs in the senate. Also the Clark boomer are urging his nomination on other grounds. They say that he does not represent the violent radicalism of some elements of his party, neither does he represent the unpopular conservatism of other elements. He is pointed

In Clark, the Progressives of the Democratic party undoubtedly have a staunch friend, but it is a fact that he is not. in sympathy with the leaders who would abolish the courts and the trusts and the business of the country merely to head off socialism. He is progressive on the tariff and on other issues, but he is not too radical. It would be folly to deny that Speaker Clark has gained ground within the past two weeks. The fact is, he began to figure bigger before the people of the country on the day he published his answer to President Taft's Hamilton speech. That answer was a defence of his party, and it was without work the speaker ever did. This reply struck a keynote. It laid the foundation for the Democratic platform and the Democratic appeal to the country next year. It was a masterpiece as a political argument, and it made Clark more friends than
it is recalled that the South will be divided, that the Middle West and Northwest will be on the fence, that the East will not be solid for any candidate, and that the Far West has not a great many votes anyway. So far New England has not put out a favorite son for the nomination, but that section may muster around Governor Foss or Governor Baldwin long enough to perfect a balance-of-power organization in the hope of controlling the convention.

Representatives will be oh the grounds and will be pleased to explain and show you around
REEVESTON IS THE ONLY EXCLUSIVE RESIDENCE PLAT IN RICHMOND
In Reeveston Place there will be no doubles, flats or business blocks, : In Reeveston Place each lot is 60 feet wide and from 140 to 215 feet deep. The streets of Reeveston Place are 65 to 70 feet wide with grass plots in the center, which have been districted to the city for park purposes, with a double drive in each street. Each home in Reeveston Place will set back 4C feet from the property line, a most valuable restriction. The restrictions as to cost of home, a .$3,500 home as a maximum restriction and a $1,000 home as a minimum restriction, are for the purpose of keeping out temporary sharks and not for the purpose of excluding those of more modest means from enjoying the beauties of Reeveston Place. Our restriction which allows only one home to the lot is to prevent sub-division of lots and thereby encouraging congestion.
