THE LOVE FEAST

Notable Event In the flistory of Indiana Republican Politics. ALL PARTS OF THE STATE Were Represented In the Great Outpouring of Loyal Republicans at Indiana’s Capital. The Euthuslasm and Harmony There Revealed Means Much for the Coming Success bf the Party. "No Backward Btep," the First Words of Senator Bsvsrldge’s Speech, Sounded Keynote. ... # ■' .. In All the Proceedings of This Notable Affair No Discordant Nots Was Heard. -v-

The "Love Feast” of 1907 was a notable event In Republican politics of Indiana. These biennial affairs have in the past been occasions of muoh interest and significance, but never was one so large, enthusiastic and harmonious as the one of Thursday, Deo. 26. The great outpouring of the loyal Republicans from all parts of the state means much for the success of the party. The enthusiasm shows that there is a determination to win the b»ttl@ of 1908. “No backward step” the first words of Senator Beveridge’s opening speech—was the key-note of the meeting and will be the key-note of the campaign. Every speech was cheered to the ech|) and no discordant note was heard In all the proceedings. Every mention of the name of Vice President Fairbanks for an outburst of applause. The “big four” candidates for governor, Watson, Taylor, Hugh Miller and Charles W. Milwere accorded the most considerate treatment. The best of feeling prevails among these candidates and their friends. The people realize that all are strong, worthy men and that no mistake will be made in the nomination of any one of them. Party workers at this love feast were jubilant over Republican prospects in the state and nation. Good reports were heard from different sections of the state, and confidence was expressed that the Republican party was capable of weathering the “financial flurry,” and under its wise rule the country put on a safe and solid financial basis. The love feast was npfcable in many respects, but especially in the good feeling, confidence and hopes of future success. The speakers were happy and fortunate in the manner in which they blazed the trail t6’ "Be TolTowed In the . coming campaign. Basing their claims on the past accomplishments by the Republican party, they felt sure the people would trust the party of Lincoln, Grant, Harrison, McKinley, Roosevelt and other immortals with the reins of government again. The “feast” marks the beginning of an earnest, enthusiastic, harmonious, winning campaign. It aroused the put tone and life into that is now going omjand, above alt, took the high ground tliat'principles are great 7” er than men and that upon principles the Republican party would stand or fall.' This last sentiment was empha sized by! all the speakers and met a hearty response from the large audience. And this sentiment will appeal to the minds and hearts of the intelligent and patriotic voters of the country.

A UNITED FORCE

Some State Press Comments on Fairbanks. The biennial Republican love'feast, held at Indianapolis Thursday, was a complete success. The crowd whs large, enthusiastic and all expressed themselves as more than paid for their visits with each other during the day and for the time and attention given to hearing the flow of oratory. The meeting had all the signs of victory. —Martinsville Reporter. , ' ■> ‘ * After seeingHhe various Republican candidates for governor theP platform at the love feast to Thursday and hearing them talk the averagevoter reached the conclusion that any of them will do? That is a way the Republican party has—it always offers men Of such character that no mistake will be made in selecting any one of them.*—Greensburg Review. -~• * • It was to he expected that the Republicans of Indiana woqld make of their regular biennial love feast an oocasion of enthusiastic indorsement of their loader, tie Hon. Charles W. Fairbanks, lor the nomlnationtor pres* ident, That fact is Just now uppermost in the minds of the Republican

toflts of the state, and nothing more certain than that It should find fitting expression in in the resolutions and In tjpEeart-to-heart talks ot the party leaders assembled on this occasion.—-Kokomo Tribune. . • •' ••• '■ When Governor Hanly presented the resolution Indorsing Vice President Fairbanks as Indiana’s choice for president it aroused an enthusiasm not easily allayed and which made it quite apparent that the Republicans of the state are in earnest in their support of our candidate. —Newcastle Courier. • * • The Fairbanks boom having received the enthusiastic indorsement of the Republicans of Indiana in love feast duly assembled, may now be said to be officially launched. From this time on every Hoosier has a standing invitation to get behind and boost for the state’s favorite son. Craws ordsvflle Journal. • • • The Indiana Republicans indicated at their love feast Thursday that they were most earnestly and enthusiastically for Charles Warren Fairbanks, Indiana’s distinguished son and now vice president, for president. Dr. Ben L. Bruner, the young and good-looking Republican recently elected secertary of state In Kentucky, made one of the happiest speeches of the convention. He said Kentucky Republicans had taken Indiana Republicans for a pattern and had begun to do things in the Old Blue Grass state. To show thoir - gratitude to Vice President Fairbanks for what he did Tor them in their recent campaign they proposed to give him Kentucky's solid delegation, twen-ty-Blx in number, for president at Chicago next June. He proposed to do even better than that —they ‘would carry the state for Fairbanks next November. —Greenfield Tribune. * * • At the Republican national convention to be held In Chicago June 16, Indiana will present the name of her honored son, Vice President Charles W. Fairbanks, for the nomination as the party’s ‘ candidate for president. He is not only one of Indiana’s favorite sons, but among the nation's greatest men; strong in every element of his make-up, profoundly wise in the councils of his party and conservative to a degree that make him a safe director of all nation’s most important interest!/'' both at home and abroad. The mantle of the matchless Teddy Roosevelt could fall on no more trusty shoulders, and the people in every state are fast coming to a realization of this fact. As Indiana knows her trusted vice president, so the nation is just ooming to realize his merit. Indiana is for him and the government would be absolutely safe in his hands. —Covington Republican.

SIGNIFICANT TRIBUTE

- . rr>. 1 • . • Effect of Indiana’s Indorsement of. Fairbanks Far Reaching, * In view of the discordant elements with which presidential candidates in other states are compelled to deal, the unanimity of sentiment for Mr. Fairbanks among Indiana Republicans is certain to attract profound and universal attention. The testimonial given him at the Republican love feast in Indianapolis on Thursday is a significant and pregnant tribute to his: worth as a man and a statesman. It Is also a political fact whose effect upon the country* at large would be hard to over-estimate. '{• .. > Individual ambitions and differences of opinion are as strong and v&rfed in Indiana as In other states. Why, then, do Indiana Republicans unanimously and heartily in the choice of their presidential preference? The reason is. that they, know their man /find have confidence in him. The qualities that have elevated him to one exalted position after another are those that fit him for higher honors. are wisdom, ability, judgment, poise - and unswerving - fidelity. Joined to this 'ls -a. ‘spirit- <5? bread-..fair-minded-ness and catholicity of charity which wins the respect and even affection of political opponents as well as of friends. All men are not alike. One man’s way of carrying on the new policies of the Republican party and of the nation' is not another man's way. The principles we follow are the,same; hut in-

dividuals vary in habit, in temperament, in method. Tt is the belief of Indiana a belief which they have faith the Chicago convention when it meets will share, that the best man to lead the party and the nation in the completion, of the task so well begun and but partly done, is he whose unswerving fidelity of soul, whose calm devotion to duty, whose conservative regard for whole some precedent and tradition, whose perfect poise of judgment and of character pre-eminently fit him for the task. —Indianapolis Star. The friends of Mr. Fairbanks have long been at work preparing the way for an active canvass. Meanwhile the course of events has tended more and more to direct attention to Mr. Fairbanks’s candidacy. Ijlis dignity qnd of character, his soundness of Judgment, his long experience in the counsels of the- nation, his conservatlve &ttitude, combined with his recognition of the necessity of steadily carrying forward the “work “ST business regeneration, are some of the qualities that are causing people in all parts of the country’ to see in him a worthy s accessor to President Roosevelt. With the Republicans of Indiana united and enthusiastic in his support, we look to see a rapid growth ofjientl-. meat In his behalf throughout the oountry-—lndianapolis News.
