Republican Candidate Will Go Up
Against a Hard Proposition
in Indiana Tomorrow.
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.

victory.
During the noxt throo

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.

AL G. FIELD'S MINSTRELS

Al. G. Field is the original producer
for the minstrel stage. The past flf
teen years he has been the only sue
cessful producer of the minstrel pro

generally been the working over or
rehash of a Field production.
This season's offering of the Al. G.
Field Greater Minstrels is the outcome
of months of wearisome work and
thought. All new and all good is the
claim made for the production.
The particular part in which Mr.
Field appears Is a burlesque based up
on political conditions peculiar to the
period. All the prominent persons in
politics are caricatured and all politi
ell parties are pleasantly flayed with
pointed verbal thrusts, enjoyable even
to those whose fads and foibles are
the butt of the jokes.
"Opening the Campaign" is the title
of the great laugh producer in which
Al. G. Field, Doc Quigley and Tommy
