Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 34, Number 92, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 18 July 1902 — Taking a Little Rest. [ARTICLE]

Taking a Little Rest.

Senator Beveridge is off for a two months’ vacation trip to the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific coast. The senator needs rest and will return physically fit for the active speaking campaign in which he will engage immediately upon his return to Indiana. Senator Fairbanks will watch the development of a campaign in which he is vitally interested, at closer quarters, dividing his time between his farm in Illinois and his office at Indianapolis, with the Indiana state capital having the advantage in the division. It is considered not unlikely that he will speak on public occasions before the formal opening of the state campaign. The speaking campaign will not be a long one, hut it will probably be possible for one of the Indiana senators to be heard in every county in the state before the election, and in some of the larger centers of population it is possible that both of them will speak. Governor Durbin has just returned from a vacation enforced by the condition of his health. It is remembered that several of Indiana’s recent governors have been tried beyond human endurance by the onerous duties of the office. Governor Durbin, a busy man throughout his lifetime, seems to find it difficult to act on the advice of his friends and take an occasional rest, but he was finally induced tomake a trip to the north somewhere, fishing with his friend “Bob” DePauw.

Editors Take an Outing. This is the week set for the annual outing of the members of the Indiana Republican Editorial association. The trip will be by way of Sandusky and across the lake to Put-in Bay, from whence side trips will be taken to various points on the lake. There will be no keynote speeches by visiting statesmen and no effort to outline a party policy; social enjoyment and better acquaintance among newspaper men is the sole object of the trip, as the association holds its business meeting during the winter. It has been/Remarked that there is cially appropriate in view of present political conditions in the /act that the Indiana Republican editors will make their headquarters a't the Hotel Victory, while their Democratic colleagues gathered for their midsummer meeting at a health resort.
