States of Kansas, Indiana and

Especial Correspondence

| New York, Sept 12.--kansas, Indi-
ana and Ohio are the three danger
spots which are just now giving the
republicans worry and which really
constitute the chief basis of the DEM
ocratic access of confidence.
The best information obtainable is
that Indiana. in which the conditions
a month ago were considered desper-
ate by republicans, has been improv-
ing pretty steadily, and that 1t Is now
regarded an even thing on the national
ticket, with the drift steadily toward
Taft and every reason to believe the
work of the great republican organ
ization will pull 1t into line by a COM
Portable majority. and perhaps save
Jim Watson for governor.
While conditions in Indiana have
been improving, however. those in
Kansas and Ohio have not improved.
They have been getting worse at about
the same rate that Indiana affairs have
looked up.
Kansas Needs Attention.
Within three days I have secured
statements from leaders in Kansas and
Indiana, republicans, who would nos
permit their names to be used, but
who spoke with entire frankness. Said
the Kansas man:
ION the basis of a careful survey,
consider that chances are just as near
ly even between the two national tick
cts in Kansas, as they prossibly could
be. After the state primary in which

are that the drift has been away from
the republicans. The democrats are
making the most, of course, of the fact
that the republican state platform de-
clares for state bank deposit guar
antee like that of Oklahoma The state
ticket has gained some strength by
that action, but the democratic has
lost. Bristow is all right so far as con-
Germs this issue, for he Is willing to
go along with sentiment and support
the guarantee plan: so Is Stubbs. The
trouble is to get the same people to
vote for Taft. who have been vigorously
and ably opposing this proposal. Kan
sas always takes its politics seriously,
and it is doing so this time. The ten
dency should say has been decidedly
away from Taft Of late, and the state

IL Party of Panfes.
The republican party is the party of
panics. Every financial crisis since it
first came into control has originated
under its administration. Though the
panic of the sos reached its height I'M
der. democratic rule, plates for the
bonds on which money to tide it over
was borrowed were made three years
earlier when the other side was in
power The republicans, however, sue
ceeded in making capital of the cir
cumstances and were returned to au-
thority, upon which they lost no time
in giving the tariff another boost and
then standing pat when protests were
made. Then along came the panic of
last fall, one purely of republican orr
gin with absolutely nothing material
to justify it, TO restore confidence"
bonds were issued, and to far larger
amount than was thought of back in
the 90's. The people are coming to
see that Democratic success does not
mean adversely, nor does republican
success mean prosperity Republican
prosperity is for the favored ones
while democratic prosperity is for ev-
erybody.
Under democratic rule American
commerce was carried in American
chips. aud our flag was seen, in every
open port in the world. Now tie
American merchant marine has been
reduced by the tax on trade to next to
nothing and a republican administra-
ton is trying TO force the people to
tax themselves to pay subsidy to re-
yive it.

Gustaf Swedberg, who was injured
in the elevator accident yesterday
afternoon at the Moline Furniture
company's plant; died at the Moline
city hospital last night as a result of
the injuries sustained. No blame was
attached at the inquest, but the evil
dence showed that the accident re-
suited from carelessness of other en-
ployes. Mr.. Swedberg was employed
as a millwright, and when difficulty
was experienced with the elevator, be
went into the pit to- adjust the
mechanism.
Caught Under Cage.
The elevator was stopped by a
frame set against the shaft by an
other employee. While Swedberg was
in the pit the frame was discovered
to be the cause of the trouble, and
was removed. Swedberg was caught
in the pit, and injured SO that internal
hemorrhages resulted.
He was born in Sweden, and was
about so years old. He came to Mo-

Lease Taken
on Old Mine

1t is stated tnat party of min
ing men from Rawhide have leased
the old Willard McDodald mine
located near the Mountain House.
For the past year the property has
been leased by Ed. Donovan and
the rock crushed with one-stamp
mill. In this small way of mining
Donovan made good wages out OF
the property, but his other mining
interests demanded his attention
and he relinguished his lease to the
owners, c. w. Dake, John Simonis,
J. K. Johnson and Frank Fettic,
all OF Genoa.
1t is claimed that the original
owners took out over $50, 900 from
the mine in the early days and the
new leasers expect to duplicate
the performances.

The government against the I. h.

in regard To the water rights OF

Mr.. Hickey was also made a de-

that he and also through his agents
had appropriated the waters of the
Alkali lake and also Walker river,
meaning To divert the waters OF
the East Walker river through a
series Of three canals to the lake
and then selling the water out to
prospective settlers and ranchers
in the now arid regions in the sec

Mr.. Hickey began work on the
scheme OF water storage and recla-

practically completed Alkali lake
