THE HOOs|ER STATE IN DOUBTFUL LIST

most promising fields for their prop,
aganda. If the plans and projects now
!, being given shape in the councils Of
the various parties come to realiza-
tion, Indiana may well feel, as Henry
Watterson predicted, more than any
other state in the coming campaign
the agonies and throes OF political
! combat.
There are, at any rate, half a dozen
factors in the situation which promise
to make thefight hotter and the out
come more uncertain than in any
campaign of recent years. For one
thing, there is the candidacy of John
w. Kern.
Everybody understands that Mr.
Kern had no particular claim to his
party's consideration except in so far
as his nomination might be expected
to help democratic prospects in his
own state At Mr. Bryan's 1nstiga-
tion he was placed on the ticket at
Denver for this express purpose. and
the responsibility for the carrying of
Indiana has been laid absolutely upon
his shoulders.
Mr.. Kern is admittedly an able,
honest man and a pleasing orator,
an enthusiastic campaigner and a
master of political craft. There is no
man, unless it be Bryan himself, who
is more popular among the democrats
of the state than he: and outside the
ranks of his own party he counts his
friends by the thousands.
He stands in close relations with
the party forces that were accustom- |
ed to win victories in the eighties and
earlier nineties. 1t would seem that
if any Indianian could be de-
pShuSu upoH W dllTdCJ ItOOSleT votes /
for the national ticket, that man was
John w. Kern.
Yet Kern has never been conspicu-
GUS as a vote-getter. The mere fact
that he has been twice defeated for
the governorship Of Indiana does not,
perhaps, mean much. for those de-
feats came in the overwhelming re-
publican years of 1900 and 1904.
None the less, In 1904 his oppon-
ent was supported in but half
hearted fashion by large numbers of
republicans and though Mr.. Kern
made a fight which will not soon be
forgotten ip the state, he was defeat
ed by some $4,000 votes and ran
barely ahead of the national candi-
dates, Parker and Davis.
It would seem that he is one of
those unfortunate politicians whom

Muskogee, Okla, Sept 2.-It's all
over but the shouting. Mr.. Taft is
sure to be elected Mr. Bryan may
as well retire from the race and save
trouble and expense, Governor Green
McCurtain, chief of the Choctaw ma
tion, says So And what Governor
McCurtain says goes-Among the
Choctaws
In past elections, the Choctaws
have been consistent democrats and
have always voted the ticket straight
Disappointed by the alleged failure
of the democratic state administra-
tion to keep its promises to the red
skins, McCurtain has come out flat
footed for Taft, and declares that the
men of his tribe will vote the repub-
lican ticket from top to bottom.
1t is alleged that the bad feeling
against the administration extends
also to the Chickasaw tribe and that
the latter will join with the Choc-
taws in supporting the republican
party.
Republican politicians of the new
state are jubilant at the reported ac-
cession of the redskins, but the DEM
ocratic leaders are inclined to take
the reports with a grain of salt. They
say that McCurtain cannot control
the vote of his tribesmen and that
even should he succeed in doing so
the 5000 or 5000 Indian voters will
not be sufficient TO overcome the
white democratic majority in Okla
homa.

DryS i'm Convention.

Syracuse, n. Y, Sept. 2,-That
Governor Hughes may be selected to
head the state ticket of the prohibit
tionists is the statement of some of
the party leaders here today. Others
oppose such action, declaring that the
prohibitionists should preserve their
independence. 1t is alleged that pro-
hibition sentiment has extended by
leaps and bounds in the Empire state
during the last few years and that
Chafin will receive the largest vote
every cast in New York for a prohi-
bition presidential candidate
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-09-02

indianapolis, Ind, Sept 2.-Of
the half dozen states Of the union
which are classed as politically
"doubtfu'r, Indiana is perhaps next
to New York the most tickle in Its
partisan allegiance. Although the
dominance of the republicans has
been almost entire in the last dozen
years the Hoosiers have not yet
reached the stage where they may be
reckoned upon as G. o. P. asset
The staunch old-line democracy Of
Hendricks and voorhees, continues to
exert a great influence in Indiana po-
litical affairs. This year the COM
monweath of Hoosierdom is declared
by political wiseacres to be the bat
tleground of the two great parties
and beyond doubt the most uncertain
state of the union.
Campaign managers of both great
parties understand this and are pre-
pairing for a battle royal in their en-
deavors to secure the Hoosier vote.
Six Tickets in the Field.
Six parties have tickets in the field,
and all are making eXtravagant
claims of coming victory That Debs
Is a Hoosier will help the socialist
party, while the populists also have
an Indianan on their national ticket
as vice presidential candidate. Add
ed to this the selection by the demo-
Gratis of an Indiana man for second
place, and It will be perceived that
many personal considerations will
play part In the result.
The republicans, after decade OF
unbroken supremacy, ridlcue the
idea that they will not again sweep
the state as In 1896, 1900 and 1904. !
The democrats proclaim that their
party has not been so united nor its
prospects so bright since 1892 and
that victory in November is as good
as certain.
The prohibitlonists-now less than
ever a negligible factor in Indiana
politics-expect to make the most
vigorous campaign in their history
and believe that for the first time
they will break into the state legisla-
ture. The popullsts stimulated by
the nomination Of a Vincennes man
for the vice presidency, are conf
dent of making the best showing
since the organization Of the party.
The socialists. with an Indianian at
the head of their ticket, are similarly
optimistlc.
And the independents avowedly re-
gard the Hooser state as one of the

How 10 Get Strong.

p j. DAILY, of 1247 w. Congress St.,
Chicago, tells of a way to become
strong. He says; "My mother, who
Is old and very feeble, is deriving so
much benefit from Electric Bitters,
that feel it is my duty to tell those
who need a tonic and strengthening
medicine about it. In my mothers
case a marked gain in flesh has re.
suited, insomnia has been overcome,
and she is steadily growing stronger" !"
Electric Bitters quickly remedy stom-
ach, liver and kidney complaints.

everybody likes, but who. more or
less unaccountably, is never quite able
to convert this pleasing popularity in
to a prepmderance of votes. The
candidacy of Mr.. Kern will unques-
ionably add zest to the democratic
campaign in Indiana, but, so far as
can be discerned to date, it does not
give promise of weighing very heav-
ily in the results next November.
