Hearst News Service. Indianapolis, Ind., October 21— When William H. Taft begins his three-day stumping tour of Indiana to morrow, he will enter upon one of the most important speaking crusades of his campaign. Backed up by Senators Beveridge and Vice-President Fair banks, the Republican presidential candidate will make a last supreme ef fort to turn in his favor the balance of public opinion that now swings var iably from one side to the other, now apparently favoring the Republicans and again presaging a Derfiocratic vic tory. The breeze of Mr. Taft's oratory may swing the balance in his favor, and he and his political advisers will spend a busy three days in attempt ing to acheive that result. Beyond all doubt, Indiana Is the most hopeless state in the Union for the political dopesters. The most as tute politicians of both parties are "up in the air" as to what November 3 may bring in the way of Hoosler votes. The more optimistic ones of both parties are talking of landslides and wild, improbable majorities for either Bryan or Taft. The conserva tive shakes his head. If he is a Dem ocrat. he is certain that Bryan will get Indiana's electoral vote. If a Re publican, he is equally sure of Taft's victory. Asked for facts and figures to substantiate the faith that is in him. and he answers only in vaguely prescient monysyllables. Many Indiana Republicans still have sore spots left from the turn-down they received at the Chicago conven tion. They are inclined to hold Taft responsible. days Mr. Taft will endeavor abuse the minds of the disgruntled ! ones and to prove to the satisfaction i of the Independent voters and near-Re | publicans that he Is a good fellow, and that the interests of the country i and especially Indiana, will he safe | in his hands. j nihility of defeat may be turned into victory. During the noxt throo to dis If ho succeeds, the pos In Indiana, as throughout the na tion generally, both narties are bid j ding heavily for the labor vote. The l advantage is slightly with the Dem ' orrats, who may therefore he expect ed to poll a somewhat larger labor j vote than four years ago or eight I years ago. But there is absolutely no reason for believing that the labor j issue alone can insure Democratic sue-1 cess. j The Democrats put in their State j platform a recommedation for a local , option law based on the ward and the | township as the units of election. The | brewers and distillers favor the Detno jcratic recommendation as giving them a better opportunity to continue the I sale of liquor in Indiana than will he I afforded by the Republican plan of county local option. The liquor people I figure that it will be more difficult for the prohibitionists to carry a ward or 'township by election than under the present plan of petition. Wards and j townships easily can be colonized by I the liquor men. Under the present j plan of petition there is no opportun ity for thwarting the will of the ma jority. Therefore, in the State fight the probabilities are that the temper | ance vote will be cast for Watson, and the liberal and liquor vote for Mar shall. the Democratic candidate for | Governor. The Republicans are count \ Ing the defections from the labor 1 unions, the old soldiers, and possibly many negro voters. I To complete the list of exciting pos j sibilitles, six congressional districts are most uncertain, and will he close ly contested. In the First District Rep resentative Foster has antagonized the | Prohitiitionists, and it is .known will ] have a difficult job in securing re | election. The Second District now represented by Mr. Cheney, is normal I ly close and, under the circumstances. I particularly so this year. James E. I Watson's district, the Sixth, it is fear I ed by Republicans here, will elect a I Democrat to Congress in November. | The Republicans in the Eighth District have been for a long time disorganiz I ed by factional quarrels. It was repre I sented by a Republican in the Fifty ninth Congress, but sent a Democrat to the present Congress. It is the toss j of a coin whether a Democrat or a Re publican will be elected in November. I There is another factional fight in j the Twelth District, where Frederick j Landis was defeated at the last Con i gressional election by n Democrat. It | is both possible and probable that this j district will send a Democrat to the Sixty-first Congress. Down in the ! South Bend District, formerly repre sented by Abraham L. Brick, who died last winter,con ditions are such as to make the Republican Statu leaders ap prehensive. They concede that a Dem ocrat may be elected. Charles Landis in the Ninth District, expects to have a stiff fight for re-election. He has become involved in a factional row over postoffice appointments, which may result in keeping him at home. This Is but an outline of the situa tion in a State where politics is played every day In the year, and where every able-bodied citizen is a politician or an author, or both. yiM l/SEMENTS. AL G.
