CHEER FROM INDIANA
Party Worker Brings Word
That Hoosier State Will
Go for Taft.

Chairman Hiles OF the Republican Ma
tional Committee will go TO Chicago on
the Twentieth Century Limited this AFTER
noon 10 open formally the Western he"''
quarters there. He will be accompanied
bv James b. REYNOLDS. secretary oi 'he
committee. ,.,,- III,
While In Chicago. chairman Hilles VIII
Confer with d. ". Mglvane. OF kansas
who is to be in charge OF the he"'
quarters. and many OF the western mem
bers of the national committee. MI
Hilles has been devotlng hlnseh ldis
nm IN date In the work OF organizing 'he
East. Now he wants 10 hear ABOUT u''
West and make plans FOR oTsahi%"'''"
there. one OF the most serious prooieh'S
he has TO confront there is getting the
Taft electors in the Republican column
on the ballot in the states where the
Republican organization Is In the hahus
OF the Progressive party men. IL Is
problem that is worrying the Republican
managers not a little. and so far they
have found no solution.
Chairman Hiles will not be back until
Friday At that time he may be reauE
TO announce the appointment OF treas
urer and an advisory committee. From
the start. Chairman Hilles has favored
the appointment of a New York man for
treasurer. but others have urged the
selection of a Chicago man. The chicago
problem is one that may be settled before
Mr. IIiles returns.
Joseph Il. Healing, OF Indianapolis. told
Chairman Hilles yesterday that conditions
in Indiana were good.
1.-THE Republicans OF Indiana have be-
gun the fight for the reelection OF Presi-
dent Taft, and are absolutely confident
that he will carry that state" said Mr..
Healing. There are very few third
party men In the state to-day, and the
Bull Moose propaganda has absolutely
failed 10 appeal to thinking Republicans.
Whatever strength the party may have
will come from Democrats" said Mr..
kealing.
THE Republicans OF Indiana are look
ing back TO 1893. and they know that the
election of the Democratic candidate will
mean a real Wilson bill IN the sense OF
radical reduction OF the tarlff. The fight
of Indiana Is between Wilson and Taft.
THE industrial situation In our state is
splendid, and Il has been during the Taft
administration Every one has work who
wants TO work wages are high, and men
are advertising for help and cannot get
st. The business men of the state are
satisfied. The laboring men realize that
their policy should be to let well enough
alone While the cost Of living Is higher,
the people have money wherewith to buy
the necessares of life and some OF the
Injuries. The election OF Wilson, in their
estimation. would mean a reduction OF
wages, but no material reduction in the
cost Of living.
1--WE had a spirited contest for the NOM
ination for Governor, four candidates
going before the convention That simply
indicates the belief OF every candidate
that the Republican party will carry
Indiana this fall. I am satisfied that Taft
will carry Indiana. and am fully salts
fed that he will beat Wilson. | am
merely presuming on the fact that the
common sense OF the people will demon
strate itself I'm November as II invariably
does at general elections
