information is at hand showing that the
democratic national. managers propose to
make whirlwind campaign in the states
oI INDIANA and West Virginia in the next
lew weeks. Indiana especially is to be the
scene OF unremitting and it might be said
Herculean effort on their part. ENCOURAGED
by the situation in New York state-and it
Is not to be denied by any fair-minded
man that the democrats have reason to be
heartened by the situation there-the mana
gers propose to put some ginger into what
they call the "alIied territory" Indiana,
Connecticut and New Jersey.
1t is termed the allied country because of
the fact that in many elections which
showed democratic victories Indiana and
the two eastern states mentioned have gone
with New York in the balloting
Western headquarters of the democratic
national committee. are soon to be opened in
Indianapolis, and Mr.. Thomas Tagglrt who
knows the details of Indiana politics, will
divide his attention between those and the
New York headquarters. Mr.. Taggart de-
MES that he is a candidate for the United
States senatorShip, and therefore spurns
the insinuation which has been made that
he is more interested in carrying the legis-
lature cf Indiana than anything else.
Bryan Scheduled for Speeches.
MI bryan Is ScEeUuleQ 1Of thirty SpeecneS
in Indiana. Democrats are fully aware of
the Importance of Mr.. Bryan's tour. 1t is
undeniable that the young Nebraskan is
still very strong in the rural districts in
Indiana, and his voice is depended upon to
keep the old Bryan vote in line and away
from the popuist ticket, which is said to
be making headway.
While Mr.. Bryan is pleading with his for
mer SlDpOrterS to StaY with the Parker and
Davis ticket, appeals will be made to an
other element of the democracy which is
very important. 1t is recalled. of course,
that the gold democrats in Indiana form
numerous and potential faction, as shown
by their votes in the campaigns of 1896 and
190U.
President NJ. E. ingalls, of the big Four
railway. lifelong democrat, whose for
saking of the democratic cause In 1895 and
1900 drew thousands of votes from the
Bryan ticket. is back in the fold, and will
make series of speeches for Parker and
Davis. beginning at Indianapolis, the center
OF the sound money sentiment.
Ex-senator Charles A. Towne. who, by
the way is slated for nomination to Con-
gress in one of the Tammany districts, will
also stump Indiana, and will supplement
the efforts of Mr.. Bryan with the old-line
democrats.
The cleveland democrats of Indiana
are to be addressed by Mr.. Charles S.
Hamlin of Boston, former assistant secre-
tary Of the treasury. So it would appear
that the democratic national management
is going after every element of its party
in Indiana which heretofore has been at
odds with each other, and endeavor to
weld all into solid organization.
In West Virginia.
In West Virginia there is to be a big
rousing up of the democratic hosts, COM
mencing October 10, after a mass meeting
in Baltimore. A special train is to start
out over the B. and O., carrying Mr.. Henry
G. Davis, the vice presidential candidate:
Senator German, Senator John w. Daniel
of Virginia and, it is hoped, Mr.. David B.
Hill of New York. They will divide their
forces at Cumberland. SO that two will
speak at keyser and two at Piedmont. The
next day two will speak at Grafton and
two at Clarksburg and the following day
all will unite in a big roundup at Wheel
ing. Thence they will go to Parkersburg
and Huntington, and SO along the Chesa-
peake and Ohio railway and the Norfolk
and Western, holding rear-end meetings
from the train.
