The man who wins the West
is not'going to be elected. That
is not the battle ground. The
two scenes of interest are back
where they have been for years
in New York and Indiana. When
ever they both went Democratic
the Democrats won. aud when
they did not the Republicans
were victorious. 1t is the same
today az it was "a aud even 81
years ago.
The total vote in the Electoral
College will be 493, with 242
necessary for choice. The South
will give Bryan l27 votes when
Oklahoma is included. Kentucky
and Missouri will bring this vote
to 15S. Indiana has Is. Ne
braska s, Colorado 8, Nevada 3,
California 10 aud Maryland s.
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 be will have
246 votes, or four more than is
necessary. Taft can win without
New York if he gets Indiana.
Bryan must have both to win. =

From all sections of Indiana
comes good reports. The Louis

dispatch from Shelbyville, Indi-
ana, as follows: "John j. Win!

Taft will not carry Indiana and
that Tom Marshall will be elect

Gently. TO my mind, the polit-
ical battle III Indiana has yet to
be won, with the chances most
favorable to the Democracy.
They have no entangling ALI
ances. Harmony exists in every
Congressional District. Bryan
and Kern are both immensely
popular with the Indiana Democ.
racy. They will poll more votes
than any other Democratic ticket
that could have been nominated.
But how Is it with the Republi.
cans? The steam roller at Chic
ago seems to have taken oil of
the enthusiasm out of the State
organization. The Indiana Re
publicans received slap in the
face at Chicago which crushed
their pride and cut their feathers
III an alarming manner. They
are certainly without hope. at
least for this campaign. They
have been given notice that they
are not wanted, aud have been
ordered to the rear to repent in
sack cloth and ashes for having
the audacity to oppose MIR.
RoOsevelt's pet candidate for the
Presidency. Then they have
other troubles to grieve over and
discourage them, among them q
weak State ticket, with the can
didate for Governor in bad repute

old soldiers and the temperance
people. The campaign opens with
the Republicans upon the defens
