ON APRIL FOOL'S DAY. Declare for Revision of Tariff Im mediately After Xm ember Elec tions. (By Associated Press.) INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., April 2. Indiana Republicans State Conven tion yesterday adopted a platform and formally presented to the coun try Charles Warren Fairbanks as their candidate for president. Mr. Fairbanks is now vice-president. In presenting tho name of Mr. Fair banks, Senator Hemenway said of him, "He has the qualities combin ing to make a great president and Indiana will present his name to tho national convention with proud and patriotic hopo that he will be nomi nated. He stands for the wise poli cies of Theodore Roosevelt, and as president ho will maintain them. The speaker also said that tho Democratic party is not justified in feeling hopeful of success because of the recent financial Hurry and de clares, "The present panic prlrharily was a bankers panic; it started among high financiers in Wall street and it has been limited to a great extent to the banks." The speaker was in favor of tariff revision said the peo ple are overwhelmingly favor it. Views of Fairbanks. Mr. Fairbanks in a letter written from Washington dealt with tariff revision which ho said is reasonably certain to be undertaken at no dis tant date but that the date is second only in importance to the subject it self; that it is Important that the period of uncertainty be reduced to a minimum. A determined effort will be made by the Democrats, ho said, to control the next house of representatives. If It is successful, Mr. Fairbanks says that a Republican senate and a Democratic house with diametrically opposite theories might bo charged with this tremendously Important subject. It would be manifest in such an event that the contest would be protracted and tho ultimate result a compromise. Mr. Fairbanks urges that Republicans be left In control of both branches that revision may be successfully take place immediately after tne next elec tion. In conclusion, he says it would not be wise to enter upon a work of wholesale demolition nor wise to make changes where not required by good business or some well founded public demand. Views of Beveridge. senator A. J. Beverldge delivered a strong address in which he said: "Tho Republican party would preserve tho rights of property by making property observe the rights of man. To make conditions better, human llfo happier, lioerty broader and stronger this is the meaning of our organization. If any man pro posed to tear down wnat we have uuilded, shall we listen to their coun sel that we should not finish our work? For there is yet work to be done. If there Is not, let us disband. When any party becomes merely a machine, seeking the spoils of office, it is no longer a political party, but a company of brigands. "A do-nothing policy is not Repub lican not American. Laurels tade when not refreshed by new and noble deeds. "We must revise the Sherman law. It Is neany twenty years old in fact and a century old In spirit. It pen alizes dishonest combination, and that is right; but aiso it manacles honest business, and that is wrong. Business is the name for the trade activities of tho poeple. Free its hands, unshackle its feet. Only upon tho dishonest let the ball and chain be locked. Strike only that business wnich pilfers from tfie people; but help all business that serves the peo ple. Our watchword Is justice. 'For tho pirates of business the yardarm or tne plank; but for honest busi ness tho open seas and welcoming ports.' "The tariff must bo revised Im mediately after the presidential elec tion. To revise it now would lock up business for months of disaster and doubt. Ho who would refube to reviso the tariff Immediately after the presidential election is too an cient to be trusted; he who would reviso the tariff on the eve of the presidential election is too hypo critical to be tolerated. But the earliest possible revision of the tariff Is the will of tho people bo causo It Is tho demand of conditions, and to tho people's will and chang ing conditions Bourbon obstruction must yield."
