New York and Indiana.

The ST. Louis Republic makes New
York and Indiana the pivotal states. 1t
puts the matter in this way:
THE total vote in the electoral college
will be 4S:', with 242 necessary to choice.
The south will give Bryan 12I votes when
Oklahoma is included. Kentucky and
Missouri will bring this vote to 1os In
diana has Is. Nebraska s. Colorado .,
Nevada 3, California 10 and Maryland 8.
If Bryan should carry them all. as he
probably will. the vote of New York will
determine the election. New York and
Indiana are the pivotal states. If Bryan
can carry them both he will have 246
Taft can win without New York If he
gets Indiana Bryan must have both"
A great change has come over both
New York and Indiana since the days
when they figured so prominently in
presidential contests, and the democrats
in both states have suffered more severely
than the republicans.
In New York Mr.. Conklins was the COM
manding figure on the republican side, and
had for lieutenants men like Platt and
Arthur both practical politicians OF the
first class. On the democratic side Mr..
Tilden was the dominant figure, and he
had for ieutenants men like David b.
Hill, A. S. Hewitt, William Dorsheimer.
H. w. Slocum and Roswell P. Flower. all
of high class as managers.
Today the republicans have Elihu Root,
Frank S. Black and Gov. Hughes in the
forefront, all of conspicuous ability.
The democrats have practically nobody,
with the result that the party organiza-
ton has fallen into the hands of Ftngy
Corners and Charles F. Murphy, who in
Mr.. Tilden's day would at best have been
ward bosses. the one in Buffalo and the
other in Manhattan.
In Indiana at the time mentioned the
republicans had Oliver P. Morton, a
Titan; Benjamin Harrison, r. w.
Thompson, Walter Q. Gresham and AL
bert G. Porter, a quintet of excellence,
combining constructive ability, oratory,
and managing capacity. The democrats
had Thomas A. Hendricks, Joseph E. Nc
Donald, D. W. voorhees,, David Turpie
and William H. English. another quin-
tet of note and power.
Today the republicans have c. w. Fair
banks, A. ]. Beveridge, ]. II. Hemenway,
j. E. Watson, Jesse OverStreet and c. B.
Landis all trained and capable men of
national reputation. The democrats have
practically nobody. Mr. Kern is much
respected as a man. but has nothing but
defeat to show for his political activity.
And it Is safe to say that in the day of
democratic power Thomas Taggart could
never have risen to the place he now oc-
cupies. He is a conspicuous product of
the hard lines the Hoosier democrats
have known for the past fifteen years.
This summary gives Judge Taft the ad-
vantage in both states. 1t is true, how
ever, that, in both, local issues are oc-
cupying a good deal of attention, and
confusing all calculations, local and ma
tional. Mr.. Bryan is heartened by some
tall claims of Taggart and Kern as to In
diana, while Corners and Murphy are
talking big about their plans and pros
poets in New York. 1t may be nothing
but talk, but the republicans should give
it close and serious attention.

Hughes and the Primaries.

The New York machine had an oppor-
tunity Yesterday to show its opposition
to GOV. Hughes. and improved it. But 1t
did not injure him. Rather did 1T help
his case.
The anti-Hughes movement has been
encouraged by the hope of assistance

own party at the state convention. or

knife play at the polls. Mr. McCarren Is
said TO have assured the republican ma
chime leaders substantial assistance at
the polls for any candidate but Hughes.
At him the line was drawn. race
tracker himself. Mr.. McCarren speaks
for the fraternity within his own party,
and feels bitterly toward the governor
for forcing the turfmen of the state to
obey the law.
The proposition appealed to the repub-
lean machine leaders who had grew
auces of their own and wanted a new
man AT Albany-a man they could man
age and use for their own purposes.
Woodruff Barnes Ward ct al, therefore
came out against denomination. and have

the state on the subject.
Yesterdays result in Kings county-the
home of both Woodruff and McCarren-
illustrates the point. In Mr.. Woodruff's
district the anti-Hughes vote was heavy,
showing the influence of the chairman
with his own constituents. The express
sion was of course his own. He dictated
it from his headquarters. And Mr.. Nc
Carren on his side demonstrated his con-
tinued hold on his people. They will
obey him. they have been doing, and
If he says trade with the republicans on
the state ticket they will trade.
Such is the situation. But nothing is
palmer than that a nomination made by
such influences and for such purposes
would go TO overwhelming defeat. For
every democratic sport Mr.. McCarren
might turn in, two voters of character
and substance. would turn away This is
shown by the strong vote for Gov. Hughes
yesterday in districts where machine in
fluences did not dominate, not to mention
sentiment previously ascertained all over
the state.
Gov. Hughes case rests upon his record
This has secured him the respect of all
the independent voters and Of many dem
ocrats. The strongest men in his own
party are for him. If he cannot be elect
ed no man carrying the republican stand
ard can Turn him down at the behest
of combination representing machine
and race track influences, and defeat will
be not only invited but deserved. And
if New York under such circumstances
should go democratic for the state ticket
the Bryan ticket would likely profit by
the prevailing disgust for the republican
management.
