indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 6.-Now that
the first shock Is over and the repub-
hcnns have recovered sufficiently to
think and figure, they have discovered
several reasons for their terrible drub-
hing of Tuesday. For time they were
so dazed as not to be able to explain
what struck them.
The revolt on the part of the liberals
Is traceable to the republican attitude
toward tise temperance question but not
entirely, as many persons developed
distrust and suspicion because of the
way in which the county option was
f'rced through the special session. They
wondered why HanIy was not willing
Z" trust his successor, why need existed
so suddenly for Legislative action. why
the matter could not be left to the peo-
pie for settlement. etc.

In addition to saving Indiana's elec-
toral vote for Taft it now appears
that Lake county's splendid republican
majorities will save the entire repub-
lican state ticket from defeat
Elected by Small Majorities.
A canvass of the late returns indi-
cate that the republican state ticket
will be elected by majorities of from
800 to 400. As the country districts
are heard from Marshalrs majority is
being cut down and the majority in
favor of the republican state ticket.

1t appears that the situation all over
the state is similar to that here in
Hammond. Many voters knitted Wat

republican ticket.
Ex-senator T. Edwin Bell returned

he conferred with some of the state
leaders there They were jubilant over
the fact that 1t now appears that every
republican on the state ticket will be
elected, excepting Watson

ROOFS INQUIRIES
"A CREATED FLU1TER
Republicans at Headquarters Exereis-
ed Over Report that Secretary
Was Sent by President.
(By Associated Press).

NEW YORK. Oct when it was
reported here today that Secretary OF
State Elihu Root had visited Republi-
can national headquarters last week
and made inquiries regarding the
workings of the various departments
under the national committee, a fiut-
ter of excitement was caused in poll
tical circles. The report went forth
that Secretary Root had been sent by
President Roosevelt. because the
President was not satisfied with the
manner in which the campaign was
being conducted.
Secretary Root was credited with
having returned to- washington anu
there expressed the conclusion that
National Treasurer Sheldon was to
blame for the tagging in the cam
paign. he having left to Chairman
Hitchcock much of the business that
had not been disposed of by the treas
urer's department.
Mr.. Sheldon was not at his Office
this afternoon, but his assistant,
George Terry. said. that the treasur-
er's department had no reply to make.
No confirmation of the reported pur'
pose Of Secretary Roots visit to ma
tional headquarters could he obtained
cioseted With Hitchcock.
It was said that Secretary Root was
in this city Wednesday. and that he
called on Chairman Hitchcock at the
Hotel Manhattan. Mr.. Hitchcock
talked for some time with Secretary
Root. principally Of the speeches MT
Root is to make in this state.
Mr.. Hitchcock invited Mr.. Root to
rational headquarters to meet the
various heads Of departments and
such members OF the executive con-
mittee as were in the city.
Mr.. Root went to headquarters
later in the day. bot i Is stated thai
his visi, was entirely informal.
Sp. aking Of the plans to raise fumes
for the nationa! campaign. Mr.. Hitch
cock rave 1t as his opinion that in the
Future. nationa! campaign funds
should be raised by the state commit
tees instead Of the national commit
tee.

As Is invariably the case In rugged

more numerously OF that almost
equally culpable species Of citizen
who doesn't scruple to befriend an
habitual criminal, who preys upon
his neighbor, to the end that he.
himself. may enjoy exemption.
Doubtless many OF these men,
though destitute Of the elements OF
good citizenship. are yet In posses
sion OF the ballot. Furthermore. it
has been asseversted that they know
how to, shoot.
With the information at hand
comes the question:: or which OF
these two qualifications do the Buck
ingham law officers stand most in
terror? Or do both enter into the
equation?
II the sheriff il afraid that he will
be shot in the back II he tries to

doing his duty by the apprehension
that there are not enough law abid.
ing voters in buckingham to return
him to Office at the next county cleo
ton, and is catering to the other
contingent, lest he lose Its support
at the polls, he should be deprived
OF his office with all possible des-
patch and held UP to the scorn and
contempt that is due to the sworn
officer who cravenly shirks his obi
cations to the people.
Physical cowardice Is an aifliction
which may be pitied wherever found.
but never tolerated in a guardian OF
the public peace. But moral pusil-
lanimity. begotten by selfinterest. Is
a vice for which there is no extenu-
alton.
All things considered, the reported
state OF affairs in buckingham county
appears to call more urgently for the
presence Of a bold and fearless com.
mander in-chief than did the condi-
items in Accomac county upon the
occasion OF the socalled race riot.
