Battle of papers over Fairbanks fuels Indiana clash
The Indianapolis Sun is sharply opposed to Fairbanks and supportive of local gas and streetcar interests, brewers, and rusts, while the New Castle Courier defends Fairbanks and attacks the Sun. The Courier pushes anti Roosevelt and pro trust lines, claiming the Sun taints public opinion with party loyalty. Both papers clash over trust influence and political loyalties.

Ridicule and Debate Over Fairbanks Influence in Indiana
The argument that Charles Warren Fairbanks saved Indiana for Republicans is dismissed as false and inflated. Roosevelt's stronger statewide appeal and Parker's home-voter effect steered the 1904 results, with Bryan earning more credit for the Republican showing. Indiana voters and Republicans are urged to credit conditions and national leaders over Fairbanks.

Fairbanks political influence and Indiana Republican gains
The article argues that conditions in 1890 and 1892 were not favorable, and that Fairbanks spent $50,000 to win a U.S. Senate seat but should not be hailed as the party savior. It contends his role in the 1906 Republican slump, his continued campaigning, and asserts Indiana’s Republican progress is economic and structural, not due to Fairbanks alone.
