BEVERIDGE LOOMS
i LARGE AS LEADER
m
Election of Indianan Held
Foregone Conclusion.
STRENGTH , IS GENERAL
People of West Are Attracted to
Uistinfruished Candidate Be-
cause of His Policies.
BT MARK SULLIVAN.
' (Copyright, 1922. by New York Evening
Post, Jnc Published by Arrangement.)
.WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 25.
(Special.) One of the most obvious
conclusions from a trip througrh the
west is that Albert J. Beveridse of
Indiana, republican candidate for
United States senator, has a posi
tion in that territory which goes
beyond the boundaries of his state
and beyond the immediate question
of whether or not he Is going to
win his election.
As to his Indiana contest, Bever
idgre is quite sure to win. He should
have a majority running anywhere
from 35,000 to 70,000. He personally
will run well ahead of his ticket.
In some other parts of the ticket
the republicans will suffer losses to
the democrats. The republicans will
lose three and possibly four or even
five of the 13 representatives in
congress they now have from
Indiana.
BevertdKe's Strength Great.
Beveridge's strength, beyond that
of the ordinary republican strength,
is obvious. He will have more inde
pendent votes and more democratic
votes than any other republican
nominee could have won. As to the
regular republican strength he will
will have it practically entire. The
number of republican voters who
will refrain from voting for Bev
eridge because of hard feelings aris
ing out of the primary campaign
against Senator New will be neg
ligible. The republican organization is
unified and working earnestly for
the ex-senator's election. It Is true
that his expected majority of 35,000
to 80,000 is less than half the ma
jority by which the republicans car
ried Indiana in 1920, but Indiana
Is normally far too doubtful a state
for anything 1113 the 1920 results to
be duplicated.
Registration Record High.
The registration in Indiana in this
year of general indifference is larg
er than in any other state. It
'amounts to 1,413,257, which is within
3,000 of the huge registration in
1920. '
For this large registration in the
present year there are several rea
sons. One is that many women who
have not previously taken advan
tage of their prerogative have voted
this year. Many of them have reg
istered specifically with the motive
of voting for Beveridge.
In addition to this, by a provision
of the Indiana law, anyone who reg
isters this year is registered per
manently and freed from the neces
sity of repeating the process.
Beveridge's campaign and the ex-
senator personally are attracting
much attention beyond the limits ot
his state. He is unique among all
the candidates for the senate
throughout the country, in that on ,
three different occasions he has !
been summoned outside his state to
make speeches.
Speeches Studied Carefully.
These speeches are studied ca're
' f uly and the position he takes on
various questions forms the subject
of widespread personal discussion
and newspaper comment. Some of
the candidates' in other states look
to Beveridge for leadership and take
positions oh national questions
based on Beveridge's views. It is
probably not too much to say that
Beveridge more than any republi
can leader, either among those now
running for office or among those
already in office, has made the im
pression of having a well thought
out future programme. He has a
personal programme of the sort
which both political parties might
be expected to have, but which they
do not have. ,
Beveridge's programme Dn many
of the old questions with which he
was identified in the past is progres
sive. He is for the direct primary
and for the prevention jpf child
labor. At 'the same tlnte he makes
a strong point of preserving the
sanctity of the courts and has taken
a position specifically opposing
things that have been said by La
Follette on this subject.
New Tax Policy Advocated.
He believes that some new form
of taxation must be devised to piece
out taxes already in existence for
the meeting of the country's needs
and for this purpose advocates the
sales tax. He believes in the aboli
tion of the railroad labor board and
wants to leave the railroads, and
their employes free to arrive at
their bargains without legislative
interference. At the same time he
eays there must be lower freight
rates for the sake of farmers and
busisa men.
In the same spirit he proposes a
policy of greater freedom for busi
ness and for the individual form
of government interference.
On the tariff Beveridge justifies
approval of the new bill on the
ground that it contains for the
first time a 'flexibility" provision
which makes""it possible to change
the rates from time to time.
Non-Partisan Tariff Advocated.'
Beveridge approves this as a be
genning, but would go much far
ther. He proposes to take the tariff
out of politics completely and put
the fixing of rates Into the hands
of a non-partisan tariff commis
sion which should act from time to
time oft tariff rates in much the
same way the federal reserve board
acts about interest rates and other
matters affecting banking and cur
rency. As to our foreign relations, Mr.
Beveridge is a strict and thorough
going isolationist. At a. speech in
Chicago last week he read three
times with earnest impressiveness
some sentences from the utterances
of John Marshall . which counsel
. freedom from all entangling al
liances. Forger Is Sentenced.
WALLA WALLA, Wash., Oct 25.
(Special.) R. C. Gilliam pleaded
guilty to forgery in superior court
this morning and was sentenced to
from six months to 20 years in the
state penitentiary. A. J. Gillis,
deputy prosecuting attorney, recom
mended the six months' minimum
term. Gilliam was accused of forg
ing the name of a farmer to a check
which he attempted to cash in a lo
cal clothing store.' When the pro
prietor called up tha bank to deter
mine if the check was .good Gilliam
rfe but was soon captured.

EXTER RAPS DILL
PLEDGES AND RECORD IX
CONGRESS CONTRASTED.
Senator Asks Candidate Why He
Did Not Introduce Meas
ures Now Advocated.
PUGET SOUND BUREAU, Seattle,
Wash., Oct. 25. (Special.) Before
a large Seattle audience tonight.
Senator Poindexter sharply criti
cized C. C. Dill's promises in this
campaign and contrasted them with
his record in congress. Senator
Poindexter referred to Dill's dec
laration that he would join the
farm bloc and his criticism of con
gress for not having passed more
legislation fbr farming interests
with an inquiry why Dill, during
the four years he spent in-the lower
house, had not introduced and
passed some of the measures he de
clared he now would support. Sen
ator Poindexter said:
"Mr. Dill In a speech at Everett
Tuesday night said if elected he
would vote against the 'league of
nations. One of the last speeches
he made in . congress, was a very
elaboate defense of the league of
nations. He offered a bill for the
creation of a 'league -of peoples'
and in his speech talked both in
favor of that and the pending meas
ure for the league of nations.
"In view of the fact that Mr.
Dill's admission that he advocated
the plumb plan, although he did not
believe in it, but because 'they paid
him well' for his services it is dif
ficult to tell how much credence to
give his promises especially when,
as in this instance, theyare in con
flict with his paat performances.
"In the same speech at Everett
Mr. Dill said if .elected to the sen
ate he would reduce state taxes and
he has issued a card in which he
charges up the poll tax to my sen
atorial services. Somebody ought
to advise Mr. Dill that the United
States -senate has no jurisdiction
over state taxes of any kind and
that there never was any vote in
the United States senate on our
state poll tax. : i

Passes-Last Reading.
FEW FORMALITIES LEFT
Action Is Declared Greatest Tri
umph for Ireland Since
, Battle of Kinsale. ,
DUBLIN, Oct 25. (By tha Asso
ciated Press.) The new Irish con
stitution passed its third and final
reading in the dail elreann today.
Deputy John Milroy described the
document as the greatest triumph
for Ireland since the battle of Kin
sale. The constitution of the new Irish
Free State has now advanced to its
final stage, and only a few formali
ties remain to put this notable docu
ment into complete effect in the ad
ministration of Ireland and of its
relations with the British govern
ment. ""
The constitution in its final form
is substantially the same as orlg
lnally framed, in accordance with
the treaty negotiations between the
Irish delegates headed by Arthur
Griffith and Michael Collins and the
British cabinet members headed "by
Premier Lloyd George. The treaty
provided for a constitution, and this
was later drawn up in Dublin and
given cabinet approval in London.
Minor Changes Made.
A few minor amendments were
made in the course of the discus
sion of the constitution by the Irish
parliament, but all the essential fea
tures of the original pact Temain,
and particularly the creation of
Ireland as the "Irish Free State," its
establishment as one of the domin
ions of the British commonwealth,
with its own parliament and execu
tive organization, and with the oath
of allegiance to the king, whioh still
preserves the tie uniting Ireland
with thl rest of the British com
monwealth. The constitution has not yet re
ceived the final sanction ot the
British parliament. But as the
Irish treaty on which the constitu
tion is based was favorably acted
upon by the British parliament the
ratification of the constitution is
looked upon as a formality. Within
the last week, however, a certain
element of uncertainty has entered
into the situation because 6f the fall
of the Lloyd George government,
which negotiated the treaty, and
the fact that- a new parliament is to
be chosen. ' ' -
Irish Action Final.
Leaders of the new British gov
ernment, however, have expressed
themselves as favorable to the rati
fication, of the constitution by the
new parliament, which is expected
to be elected and brought into ses
sion in time to pass the ratifying
act before December 6, when the
year's time limit fixed by the Anglo-Irish
treaty for completing the
constitution under it expires.
The action offche Irish parliament
is final, so that the document is
now effective except for the Brit
ish parliament's reaffirming, witfe
greater formality, the favorable
action already taken on the treaty.
The document grants political and
religious freedom in Ireland, and
under it no law favoring any cult
may be passed. Opinion and the
right of association are unhindered
and untrammeled. There are two
elective houses, and all citizens of
both sexes enjoy the right to vote.
The initiative and referendum are
provided for.
