Indianapolis, Ind., April . I. Repub
lican are In convention here today t
aelect a state ticket and delegates to
the national Republican convention.
The revision of the tariff seems lo
be the keynote of the platform that
will be adopted and lt la also ruled
that the revision should be made by
men who are of the protective tariff
stripe.
Senator Deveridge was one of the
principal speakers and he did no, mince
words In dealing with the issues that
are before the people of the country.
Vive-President Fairbanks also sent a
strong letter favoring oertaln tariff
reforms.
Vice-President Fairbanks declared In
the letter read before the convention
that the revision of the tariff must
be made by men who are firm be
lievers In the protective faith.
"We shouldn t close our eyes to the
fact that there is a determined effort
being made by the opposition to con
trol tne next nouse, ne coiuinueu.
If such a plan succeeds the import
ant subject of tariff revision would
be dealt with by a Republican senate
and a Democratic house, 'and these
two branches would stand on diametri
cally opposite theories. The ultimate
result would be a compromise. If con
greaa convenes Immediately after the
presidential election it could probably
complete tne work of revision oerore
the inauguration of the riext adminis
tration. : Along BrotaotiT Lines.
"We would be enabled by this plan
to not only guard against the con
tingency of making a revision with
the house but to put an end to the
oppression In the business world soon
er tnan otoerwise poapiDie. xnis im
a part of wise, patriotic statesman
ship. It Is good politics and good bus
iness, j. The revision muat be along
grotecllve lines and it must be mado
y those firm in protective faith."
The letter will be used as a basla
for the construction of a tariff re
form plank In the Indiana Republican
platform to be adopted today.
Senator Beveridge said in part:
The first Republican candidate for
F resident was called the great patu
inder. Its second candidate for presi
dent , was railed the great liberator.
Its last candidate for president and the
nation's chief magistrate today Is called
the great reformer. . These men did
things for tha- people that la what
made them Republican leaders.
A Republican leader is not a manip
ulator. He Is an apostle of Ideals, a
writer of laws, a doer of deeds. The
Republican party does not exist to get
offices for the ambitious; it exists only
to work out the welfare of the nation,
to right the wrongs that curse the peo
ple, to secure the government of law by i
muking law secure the demands or jus
tice. The Republican party would pre
serve the rights of property by making
property observe the rights of man. To
make conditions better, human life hap
pier, liberty broader and stronger this
Is the meaning of our organization.
And lt haa been this undying purpose
nf human hetterment that has written
every reform of the last eight historic
years and placed beside the name of
Washington, Jackson and Lincoln as a
loader nf the neonle toward liberty and
light the name of Theodore Roosevelt.
Work for tha People. m
We muat go to the people, not merely

yesterday, but telling them what we are
doing for the people today and what we
will do for tne people tomorrow, cjvery

and cunningly resisted; yet so wise are
those laws that all parties now Indorse

who aecretlv oDDOsed them are now pub-

USES ELECTRICITY
. TO INDUCE SLEEP
Result of Experiment -Made Known
. bj Professor Leduc, the
Physiologist.
Paris, April 1. Professor Stephan Le
duc, the phyalologlst, la publishing the
results of extensive experiments show
ing that lt Is an easy matter to'produce
sleep by electricity.. The elec trio .cur
rent used by him is so weak that it
wouldn't suffice for an ordinary- 16-candle-power
electric light. The pro
fessor maintains that the electric sleep
produces- a state of absolute uncon
sciousness, as far as the organs of the
body are concerned. Up to now he ex
perimented' on animals only.
"By- weak electric currents- that may
be shot off several times in a second,'4
says the professor, "the activity of ths
braia may be paralysed for minutes, or
for whole hours. - When the current is
shut off, the animal experimented on
awakens Immediately. When the current
is Increased, the activity of the heart
ceases but the functions of the respira
tory organs continue, A further in
crease, though, stops breathing.
"At that moment the experimental an
imal is entirely unsensitive. It is life
less without being dead. However, If
the current is continued two minutes,
death will ensue."
