(BY r. G. TUCkER.O

Especial Correspondence OF The Argus.)
Indianapolis, Ind, Oct 11-Goyern-
or Woodrow Wilson and Governor
Thomas Riley Marshall are gaining
ground so rapidly in Indiana that
there no longer is any serious doubt
about their carrying the state The
outlook for the success of the demo
cratic ticket in this so-called pivotal
state is so good that not dollar is
being offered here that Wilson and
Marshall will not win
AT the various betting boards the
statement is made that not single
bet has been made against Wilson
carrying Indiana. although as high as
three to one is offered as an induce
ment There is an old saying that
''as Indiana goes, so goes the nation
in national elections. II has been no

and failure of the long-drained soil
TO afford a corresponding increase in
production. That problem faces the
people of this country today-not in
so severe a form as it threatened
the older countries of Europe, but,
still, as a great and pressing eco
nomic problem.
PROBLEM Is NET.
'In Europe this problem has been
successfully met, first, by reducing
the cost to the farmer of producing
his crops and, secondly, by increas-
ing his production through the adop-
ton of improved methods of cultiva-
ton Both the federal and state gov
ernments in this country have done
much TO afford the farmers instruction
in improved agricultural methods.
But il still remains for us to reduce
the cost of the farmers production
by affording him the necessary capital
for the exploitation of his soil upon
the most advantageous terms. He
must be afforded the money neces-
sary for him 10 adopt improved meth
DDS 1t must be made profitable for
him to place every acre of his ground
under cultivation. This offers the
consumer relief from the increasing
cost of foodstuffs."
President Taft strongly depnecates
any idea of establishing cooperative
credit in the United States through
the support of government subsidies.
I'VE must establish a credit sys-
TEN Of. for, and by the farmers of
the United States" he writes. The
country enjoys today great prosperity,
the factories are busy, the working
men are employed, and everywhere
the wheels of industry hum. The
farmer shares in this general prosper
ity. The proposal which l make il
not TO subsidize the American farm
/ er. Fortunately for the country ne
does not need it, nor would he &C
cept it,"
President Taft warns the governor
that in this plan, as in al. financia
schemes, there is room for harmful
exploitation for personal gain.
MARKET FOR LOANS.
THE most essential point to bea,
in mind is the need for the assumption
by the federal and state governments
of the responsibility for economical!
and honestly conducted institutions
Such assumption is the essential pre-
cedent for obtaining the confidence
Of the American as we'll as of TIL
European investing public"
If this safeguard is given the farm
land banks President Taft is con
WINGED that he can secure the farm
ers market for their mortgage loan
not only in al OF the big money cen
tiers of this country but also on tn
exchanges of Europe and thus affor'
the american farmer the capital nee

entire agricultural resources of thi

Ex- Governor of Missouri After
Tour of State is Confident of
Success

Chicago. Oct 12-Former Govern
or Joseph w. Folk of Missouri called
at democratic headquarters on his
way home to st. Louis from a speak
ing tour of Minnesota.
81 found everything very favorable
to democratic success in Minnesota"
said Mr.. Folk. Il spoke In several
cities where Colonel Roosevelt was
supposed to be especially strong, but
II seemed to me that Wilson was
stronger than the third term candi-
date. Yesterday afternoon | spoke at
Duluth, and was quite surprised
at the size of the crowd which turned
out to hear me.
There is very large armory hall
In Duluth holding at least 5000 peo-
pie. This hall was crowded and IL
did my heart good to hear those fine
men, for the most part working men
who had laid off to attend the meet
ing, cheer at the mention of Governor
Wilson's name. 1t must be remem-
bered that times are good in Duluth
and every man there probably made
sacrifice to attend the meeting.

that Governor Wilson will carry Min

stump for the rest of the campaign,

HAS A PLAN
TO AID FARMERS
Tells the Governors He Would
Secure Greater Produc-
tivity at Less Cost.
COOPERATION IN CREDIT
Recommendations Are Based on Re.
ports by American Diplomats
in Europe.

Beverly. Mass. Oct. I2.-Radical
legislation in favor Of the American
farmer and consumer as a means of
solving the question of the high cost
of living was urged by President Taft
today in a letter TO the governors of
all the states.
President Taft proposes to reduce
the cost OF foOdstuffs on the Ameri.
can dinner table by reducing the cost
to the farmer of producing his crops.
This would be done by establishing
in the interest of the farmer a fnan-
cial machine which would give him
access TO all the money centers OF
the world and afford him credit at
greatly reduced rates and upon more
advantageous terms than he now re-
ceives. The complete development of
our agricultural resources which this
would make possible. thinks President
Taft, would go a long way toward
settling the problem of the high cost
of living.
What this plan offers" writes Pres
ident Taft, lis a means TO secure this
country greater productivity, at less
cost, from the farms that are now
under cultivation, and, above all, to
give us more farms and more farm.
ers."
The plan suggested is based upon
the principles of agricultural cooper.
alive credit now in use in practically
every country OF Europe. Uniform
state legislation. in the opinion OF
President Taft, is essential to the
successful adoption of this plan and
he has invited the governors of all
the states to a conference upon this
subject at the time of the annual meet
ing Of governors in Washington in
December.
Were not the interval so short.

BY De Mar.

Reports from all parts of the coun-
ty indicate heavy attendance at the
big democratic rally here under the
auspices of the democratic county
committee and the Wilson club next
Monday. Not only members of the
party, but many who have up to this
time professed themselves regular ne
publicans or bull moose, are going to
help swell the crowds because they
want to hear and see Champ Clark,
Colonel James Hamilton Lewis and
P. }. Lucey.
Colonel Lewis and Mr.. Lucey are
to be heard in the afternoon at the
Illinois, while the speaker of tbs
house will come from Monmouth in
time to address a meeting at the same
place in the evening. All three are
not only men of national reputation
but oratons of the first class, as well
and their coming to Rock Island
means a big boost for the democratic
ticket
The prospects are that professional

1884 Indiana gave the late President
Harrison a small majority, but four
years later it turned over to Cleveland
and remained in the winning column.
1t never has been on loser and this
time the democratic leaders feel that
the situation in Indiana is a pretty
good index for the rest of the country.
Governor Wilson is proving an enor-
mously popular candidate. He stated
during his brief tour of this state
that the meeting he addressed in In
dianapolis was the largest he had ever
witnessed. More than $4,000 people
took a two-mile walk to hear him ad
day following his meeting here he
spoke to $4,000 people and made only
four stops, which shows how popular
he is proving in Indiana
The trip of Governor Hiram John
son, bull moose nominee for vice pres
ident, was such a fiasco in Indiana
that it was abandoned after the frs
day All reports received at thu
democratic headquarters and by part!
workers generally are that Governol
Wilson is making a runaway race o
it in Indiana The bull moosers were
confident that Colonel Roosevelt
would make such inroads on thu
