Indiana Campaign Seen as National Test for Progressives
William Alien White, noted journalist, calls Indiana's 1912 election a national contest of principles tied to Roosevelt policies. Beveridge’s defeat would hurt progressivism.

The nation watches whether Beveridge can be reelected and uphold self government against special interests.
