CANVASS OF INDIANA
u Shows That the Roosevelt Move
ment 10 Now on the
Decline.

indianapolis, Ind, Sept. so.--A care.
1ul v has been made of the
Roosevelt sentiment In eyery county
IN his state. The inquiry was start.
ca by a prominent business man of
tnls city. who was anxious to learn
Tor himself the true condition of af.
falrs. He sent out a large number OF
letters to men in each of the conn.
Ties who were not politicians and
would have no incentive to falsify the
sltuatlon. The replies showed that In
every county In the state, with one
exception, there had been a marked
decrease In the Roosevelt sentiment.
Inc opinion was universally az.
pressed that the Third Term cand1.
Gate had fewer followers now in In.
clana than at any time since the cam.
palgn opened and this number wal
steadily decreasing. A few of these
reports summarized are az follows;
White county-"Ours is an asrtcul.
tural community and the farmers ali
seem satisfied with conditions and
are Q calling for a change. Q

KANSAS is REPUBLICAN
Roosevelt Strength Among Voters Ia
Decreasing P%erceptlbly Through
out State.

Topeka, Kan, Sept. 23.-Notwith-
standing the enthusiasm which has
always existed in Kansas for Theo-
dore Roosevelt. it is undeniable that
his strength as a presidential candi-
date is decidedly waning throughout
the state.
II he were the candidate of the Re-
publican party, and If there were a
chance Of his election, he would, of
course, sweep the state without any
serious opposition. But neither of
those conditions exists. The fact that
his own leaders have been obliged to
yield to the wave of indignant pro-
test which swept against them OH &C
count Of their effort to have Roose-
velt's electors placed in the Repub-
1can column has MOI only proven the
strength Of the Taft sentiment, but it
has eliminated all possibility OF
Roosevelt carrying the state. The
withdrawal Of his electors from the
Republican columns has emphasized
the fact that he is not the Republican
candidate; and Kansas Is too we'll
satisfied with the conditions which
have prevailed during the past six
teen years to follow any man, how
ever popular he may be, out Of the
Republican party.
The Roosevelt sentiment has been
further weakened by the universal
conviction that there is no possibility
OF his election and that the only ef-
feet his candidacy can possibly have
Is to expose the country to the dan
ger Of a Democratic victory. Kansas
Is as far from being a Democratic
state as it eve was and with the sub
stantial collapse of the Roosevelt cam
paign, this state will be found in its
accustomed place near the head of
the Republican column,

LOSING IN NEBRASKA.
Progressive Party Will Die Before
Election Day Comes Around.

Reports from Nebraska show that
the Roosevelt sentiment is decreasing.
"The Third Term party" says one
letter to Director Mulvane of the
western bureau Of the Taft campaign,
us dwindling down to Pops"
James H. Clark OF Hastings. Neb.,
president Of a large company which
handles investments, securities and
farm mortgages. and who has excep-
tional opportunity to know the feel
ing among the farmers. says that in
Nebraska the farmers are beginning
to realize that II they followed Roose-
welt they will land nowhere, and II
they allow a Democratic president to
be elected. they will be ruined.
In Lincoln. Neb., the Third Term
party had din Guilty in securing even
two hundred and nifty signers to a Pc
tition for their county convention.
The Progressive party will die before

WHY ROOSEVELT IS LOSING GROUND

Republican party. E.
The American people will not crafty the disappointed ambition
OF a man who, In a spirit of revenge, would wreck the Republican
party because It refused him a presidential nomination.
The country does not want for president a man who eagerly
erasps II every Wild and radical theory merely to gain votes.
Honest men will not support a candidate who Instituted dishonest
contests to help his nomination and who accepts money for his cam.
paign from the Harvester and Steel trust directors.
Thousands Of Republicans do not believe that men of unidentified
character who disagree with Roosevelt are thieves and liars.
Rightthinking people cannot trust a candidate who yoates ha
solemn pledges.
Republicans are beginning to realize that the only possible effect
Of his candidacy may be the election of Wilson. Nh thev ara not
willing to bring upon the country the disaster OF a Democratic admin.
lsrauon merely to crafty one mans hatred or ambition.
The people will not MexHanize' the United States by elecins TO
the presidency a man who declares that he no obhtiont n nm
number of terms provided there Is a recall. That ia ~ .eain n.ao
president he would expect to remain in that office untlt ha naomi
drove him out. What Washington would not take. what Grant conld
not get Roosevelt shall not have.

Another Disappearance.
1t was announced today that the
charges against Gibson would be given
to the Orange county grand Jury on
october 10, instead of next Monday
as had been planned originally. It
was also asserted at the district at
torney's Office that one Of the persons
concerned In a charge of swindling
against Gibson, outside of the Szabo
case, has disappeared. There is an
action pending in the supreme court
IN which 1t Is alleged that Gibson in.
duced Hugh Trainor. an old awning
maker. to sign away $4,000. Rosa
Guerra got this money through the aid
OF Gibson, 1t was asserted.
Gibson had Countess Szabo's will
probated on August 3. He was named
as executor and Mrs. Menschtk as
beneficiary. The latter part of August
the Austro-Hungarian consulate in
this city learned that the mother of
Countess Szabo died in Vienna. in jan
uary. 1910. and found witnesses to
testify that Countess Szabo knew of
her mothers death. The consulate
instituted an action in the surrosate's
court to dispose Gibson as executor
and demanded an accounting. Gibson
has said he would produce Mrs. Mems
chik at the proper time.

Z. De Lestry, consulting engineer, that
John M. Wiley, now under arrest as

Topeka speech, "that Mr. Roosevelt
was DISTRESSED by. my suggestion the

corporation was back Of his plan for
controlling the trusts.
"He interpreted my remark to

THREE TICKETS
BUT TWO SIDES
Roosevelt Says Democrats
and Republicans Eat To-
gether Now.

Detroit. Mich, Oct. s.-'There are
three tickets In the fold, but only
two sides to the present campaign"
said Colonel Roosevelt here. He op-
ened his tour Of the middle west by
speaking to a large crowd in the ar
mory.
you needn't take my word" said
Colonel Roosevele. "for the statement
that the republican and democratic
parties occupy substantially the same
ground. I quote you from the SOL
emn public uttera.ce Of the head of
one Of the parties.
Governor Wilson in a message to
the legislature Of New Jersey on jan
uary 8 said he was interested and
encouraged to see that the platforms
Of the republican and democratic par
ties were substantially the same in
recent years."
Mr. Wilson's supporters, Colonel
Roosevelt continued, took issue with
him when he said that the republican
and democratic parties took substan.
TALLY the same position and that he
would refer them to Governor VIII
son.
"I'm interested" Colonel Roosevelt.
I'm the statements OF Mr.. Bryan and
other democratic leaders that Mr..
Taft has grown In strength. What
the leaders Of both the old parties
desire is to beat the progressives and
they are willing to coalesce to accom-
plish this purpose.
There are three tickets this year,
but only two sides. If you believe
IN special privileges, dead issues and

you believe in facing the new issues
