Show BEVER'DGE AT INDIANAPOLIS. Indiana Senator 'talks to Y'oung Men on Political Issues. Indianapolis. Ind., Oct. IS. Senator Albert J. Beveridge addressed a Republican Re-publican mass meeting at Tomlinsoii hall to-night. He said: "In this campaign more than 1,000,-000 1,000,-000 young men will enlist under the political po-litical banner under which the initial force of their first vote and all the in-1 in-1 tluences Ihat bind men to party will ' cause them to march for the remainder of their lives. It is to these young men that I speak to-night. It is to their future that I appeal. The election of President MeKinley seems now an absolute ab-solute certainty; and no appeal is now necessary to insure the re-election of a man who has been great enough to understand un-derstand the ocean currents of human affairs in which fortune has directed this Republic since he has been the President. But I am concerned for the future as well as for the present. I am concerned for the future of America Ameri-ca as a national entity, and, therefore, concerned for the political future of every ev-ery young man in the Republic, in whose heart and mind the future of the Republic abides. "And now and for all the future the Republican party is to be the party of construction and advance. The Democratic Demo-cratic party is now and forever will be the party of reaction against the pro- party; the party that resists constructive construc-tive methods at home, and the party that sounds retreat at every suggestion of an advancing and definite American policy abroad. "And so I put the question to the young men of the nation whether there --tUiyJJiijig-. attractive to their youth, their energy, their initiative, their hope in the program of destruction presented pre-sented to them by the party of destruction. destruc-tion. I can think why infirm age might possibly ally itself with Mr. Bryan's proposition to go back to the old days, but not of a single reason why vital, constructing, advancing youth should chain itself to this body of death." |
