~ LEADERS DECLARE THE
FIGURES ACCURATE.


newspaper has aroused great interest
from one end of the state to the other.
Party leaders are trying to analyze
st to suit their own convictions. but,
generally speaking, most OF them say
that it comes near hitting the nail on
the head" as far as the present situa-
ton is concerned.
The indianapolis News. the Indian
apolis Sun, the FIT. Wayne Journal,
the Richmond Palladium, and many
other leading papers OF the state. re-
produced the substance OF the poll.
Very few of the Republican papers
have mentioned 1t as yet, probably be-
cause OF the showing against Presi-
dent Taft, and the Payne-Aldrich tarih.
Senator Beveridges friends find
much comfort in the showing against
the Payne-Aldrich tariff.
Strong insurgent State.
The are saying that 1t indicates that
Indiana Is strong insurgent state,
and that Senator Beverage will be re-
elected. The large vote indicating the
popularity OF Senator Beveridge is re-
garded also by the Beveridge men as
an indication that he is going to win
out.
John Hayes, secretary of the Repub-
lican state committee. who read the
poll, said that 1t comes mighty near
outlining conditions as they exist at
present. Il think it the best poll of
ho
clared. II believe that it fairly rep
resents tho Indiana situation"
Mark Thistlethwaite, private secre-
tary to Governor Marshall, whose posi-
ton throws him in close touch with
politicians. said that the poll couldn't
have come nearer presenting the Indi-
ana political situation.
Poll 10 Very Accurate.
"Of course we are pleased here over
the favor Governor Marshall receives"
said Thistlethwaite. but aside from
many men convince me that the poll
Is very accurate"
Judge Willard Cox, chairman of the
press bureau of the Democratic state
organization, praised the poll for its
accuracy. One wellknown Republican
attorney who discussed the poll said
that the heavy vote against the Payne.
Aldrich tariff means that the Republi-
cans are going to lose the state. and
that Senator Beveridge will not be re-
elected.
The poll shows" said he. that the
people are sore over the tariff bill
When they 60 to vote in November
thousands of the Republicans will vote
the Democratic ticket straight. l have
reason to know that the soreness over
general conditions two years ago caus
ed the defeat OF the late Congressman
Jesse Overstreet.
Danger Of Defeat.
Hundreds OF his friends, who had nc
idea that he was In danger of defeat
voted the Democratic ticket straight
because they were sore at the Republic
can party. The Republicans are sore
over the tariff, and Senator Beveridge
will be knitted on that account
The fact that the poll was taker
among men who do not play politics
the year-round caused the party lead
ers to regard it very seriously because
they thing 1t comes from the silent
voters
Bert New. attorney at the Governors
Office. who ran for Reporter Of the Su
preme and Appellate Courts two years
ago. declared that the poll indicates
clearly that there will be lot of indie
pendent voting in Indiana in Novem
her,
Joseph Cravens, we'll known capital
ist at Madison. who is regarded as {
leader among the Democrats, asserted
that the poll is not only fair but accu
rate.
