licans as it seems nearly always to do.
They have been able to adapt their
campaign arguments with good success
to the people of two seetions-East and
West-believing in very different ideas
of government at Washington. The
conservative Eastern Republicans have
been more and more won over to Taft
and the progressive Republicans of the
West have been convinced apparently
that on the whole they would get more
from his administration than they
would get from the Democrats. The
moral issues that have been raised in
number of states, particularly Indi-
ana, Ohio and New York, have been
making on the whole for the advantage
of the Republicans and have added
strength to their campaigns week by
week. Moves that promised to be dis
astrous proved successful, as for in
stance the calling of the legislature in
special session in Indiana to enact a
county local option law. Much as the
Republicans feared that action on the
part of strong headed governor, the
legislature did what he wanted them
to do and the agitation in the state
has settled down so that the Repub-
Iicans are in better shape by far than
they were before the special session
convened.
When Vice Presidential Candidate
Sherman visited Indiana few weeks

thought the State was lost to the ma
tional ticket, but within few days
he has received authoritative informa-
ton which convinces him that the Re- /
publicans are likely to carry it by a
safe margin. /
On the other hand, the Democrats
have been making a strong campaign
all along the line. To date there have
been no bad breaks. which have
proven disastrous to Democrats in their
campaigns Mr. Bryan s cam
paign has been quite as aggressive and

the Republicans actively in the field
and therefore has been able apparently
to make less progress. He has been
than ever as stumper, has
treated his opponents with great cour-
-esv. in fact has set the pace for them
n that regard: has waged his fight on
l high plane and compelled much ad
from those who do not sup
port him politically, for the clean pres
,ntation of the issues on which he APP ,

tum just when Bryan was in splendid
| trim with his National Committee right
in the field and making every move
count. But President Roosevelt thought
that the campaign was going to be one
sided and that if he could make Hitch
cock chairman, there would be oppor-
! tunity for some shrewd political work
/ for the future. However, all those
things are now of the past and the
National Committee in October has be-
come an effective organization for elect
ing Republican President

mittee got around to looking after the
organized labor vote and in the last
two weeks has done what ought to have
been done a month earlier. It prepared
some literature on the subject of Mr..

in dividing the Executive Council OF
the American federation of labor by
hook or by crook, probably by promis-
ing the office of Commissioner of 1mmi-
grafton to one Of the weak kneed vice
presidents, it started corps of paid
labor workers out into the field who
grappled with the Gompers crusade for
Bryan in man fashion. The railroad
workers, East and West, who have been
threatening to bolt to Bryan in enoF-
effective methods and the danger to
Taft from that quarter has been mini
mixed. And with all this team work,
the President has been taking a hand
in vfganization, giving out timely let,
ters, which he always seems to have
ready at hand, written months ago to
fit any given situation, and dealing
heavy blows in Taft s advantage. There
has been less public resentment of this
than there was of his series of letters
with Bryan. And so this thoroughgo.
ng campaign work has given the Re
1ublieans heart all along the line. With
better courage they have taken up the
leavy tasks. They have driven home
he arguments that Taft's election is
to continued prosperity,
However much or little. one may agree /
With that assertion there is no room to
Ioubt its efficacy as campaign instru

, these latter have been making up. Hi
nois is so strongly Republican that the
leaders there think it safe to- keep on

the reason why Ohio, Taft IS home state,

Warning Factions Unite.
Here in New York, a vital state TO
the Republican campaign, the warning
factions have been touching elbows in
the closing days. There is no better
party organization, manned by expert

or in all the world than up the state
