HUGHES IS PICKED
TO CARRY INDIANA
10000 Republican Plurality
Held Too Much for VIII
son to Overcome.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. November T.
Indiana probably will give its fifteen
electoral votes to Charles Evans
Hughes. but the plurality will be small
II the symptoms apparent at the close
of the campaign may be relied upon
as reasonably fair indications of the
result.
Indiana will elect the republican
state ticket, and it will increase the
number of republican representatives
In Congress from two to FIVE or six
1t is reasonably certain also to elect
one, If not two, republican United
States senator's.
These predictions are based on the
best obtainable information. 1t Is oe-
Heved that they will be verified by tine
result of the election. 1t is fact thae
there has been a considerable move
ment of republicans and progressiVes
to Wilson in the last few weeks, ana
this drift was of sufficient magnitude

But the best informed political oo-
servers in the state express the oplh-
ion that this trend to Wilson Will not
he great enough to overcome the nat
ural and normal republican plurality in
the state of $4,000 TO 1000. However,
no one is predicting that Hughes viii
carry Indiana by anything like 10000.
Republicans are asking odds when
they offer to bet that Hughes carries
Indiana by 10000. This fact shows the

G. o. P. Chairman's Figures.

Will H. Hays. republican state chair
man, insists that the republican plu-
rality will be as high as $4,000, and
he refuses to bulge below 10000. But
he has his estimate too high. accord
ing to others who study the game in
Indiana.
There are. in round numbers, $500 vot-
ing precincts in indiana. Granting that
the normal republican plurality is 10000,
il would require but an average OF hve
votes to the precinct to be changed from
Hughes to Wilson to wipe out that p-ural-
ity. The democrats say they will average
better than five to the precinct from farm
ers and workingmen. But they must also
take into consideration the fact that the
democrats will suffer heavy losses among
the Germans and among the Cathoiics,
and this detection will even up with either
the laboring or farmer vote that may be
gained for Wilson. Therefore. any calcu-
lation of an estimate of the result neces-
sarily must account for heavier average
gain than five votes to the precinct in
order to put Wilson over.

Democrats Not So "F1ush."

The democrats have not been so well
supplied. but they have had more money
than in many previous campaigns. No
one knows how much they have spent,
but it will reach large sum.
The republican state committee has
had about 400 employees on its pay
roll. while the democratic state or
ganization has had fully 200. All of
which costs money. Besides, their
printing bills and postage bills have
been enormous. The republican state
committee used s1,s00 worth OF two
cent stamps In one week.
If President Wilson carries Indiana
it will be due to his own personal
strength. for the state ticket will be
a burden to him. II he wins it will be
due to the peace issue, which has
taken a deep hold on the people of
ties of Mennoni-es in Indiana, and
these men ordinarily do not vote or
take part in elections. But this year,
&c au.e of Wilson's peace policy, they
have registered and they announce
their intention of voting for Wilson.
Quakers are numerous in Indiana. also,
and most of them are republicans
But it is said that they will vote for
Wilson, also, because of his peace
policy. Quakers and Mennonites are
opposed to war.
But Wilson must overcome the ham
dicap of a normal republican plurality
of at least 10000 in Indiana in order
to carry the state. and it is extremely
doubtful If he can accomplish this
feat. The betting boards offer even
money that Hughes will carry the
state with no democratic takers. They
also offer 100 to 80 and 100 to 80 that
Hughes will be elected. There has
been but little betting in this city.
