In favor of government ownership as

POPOLISTSTN
CONVENTION
Indiana Republicans Formally
Place Vice-president in Race
for Presidency.
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."
