INDIANA.
Hughes's Appearance IN Hoosies
state Brings Good Results.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Oct 2s.-As the
Presidential entries whirl into the home
stretch OF the Indiana political derby {:
The q. q. 7. Dun appears to ave
gained several lengths in the race for
the tape. There Is TO denying the fact
that Mr., Hughes has gained steadily
since his appearance In the Hoos!er
State. which up to that time was listed
In the doubtful column. Unless there Is
a sudden reversal OF form the Republi-
can Presidential nominee will gallop
home a winner over Mr.. Wilson by "
plurality OF from rs 5000 to 10000.
At the present timo the Democrats
have eleven OF the thirteen representa-
tives in Congress. and the two United
states Senators. Present indications are
that the Republicans will elect nine
representatives and the Democrats the
remaining four. Two United States Sem
ators are to be elected, and 1t appears
that Harry s.. New Will supplant Demo-
cratic Senator John w. Kern for the
long term. and James L. Watson will
win out over Senator Thomas Taggart
for the short term. The indications are
that the Watson-Taggar fight will be
closer than the New-Kern race.

a Wilson landslide IN Chicago. Repub-
licans, while visibly worried over the
surface Indications. are confident that
the Wilson wave Is receding rapidly and
that Illinois Is safe for Hughes on cleo
ton day.
Conditions in Illinois have not been
at all satisfactory to the Republicans.
Two weeks ago the State was fairly en-
tiled to be classed as doubtful. The Re-
publican campaign had not opened then
and the national and State organisa-
tons had not attempted seriously to pry
into the delicate situation that was
known to exist in Chicago and particu-
larry down State. Things have improved
quickly and materially n in spite OF
the big noise for Wilson there seems to
be substantial basis TO tho Republican
claim Of $4,000 for Hughes and Fair
banks.
The real Democratic hope Is banked
upon the expectation of landing SIS per
cent. Of the total woman's vote In the
State, which may reach 500. 900. In
Chicago alone $4,000 women are reg
istered. Chicago normally represents
one-third Of the voting strength Of the
entire State.
The labor vote slowly but steadily
Is turning toward Hughes. particularly
down State. For a time the Adamson
bill buster was effective In the Presi-
dents favor. When the Republican
campaign did get started II was effec-
tive In smashing home, particularly in
the Industrial centres. h sharp recol-
l~ections OF the closed factories and the
empty Inner pals Of 1914. Illinois
was one OF the last States to be handed
any Of the war orders n the Demo-
cratic prosperity" isn't seriously effec-
tive as a campaign argument.
All OF the sitting Republican Congress-
men will be reelected except Clipper
field. who was defeated for denomination
by Billy Mason. Medill Mccormick and
Mason will be the new Congressman at
Large. in all probability. Republicans
are likely to gain the Peoria and Rock
Island districts down state and the Blu
chanan and possibly the Gallaher dis.
tricts In Chicago.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Oct. 2S-Although

Mr.. Hughes. The only basis of compar-

advantageous to the Republican ticket,
Missouri has two Republicans and
fourteen Democrats In the House Of Rep

two and possibly three. The Republi-
cans now control the Tenth and Twelfth

DETROIT, Mich. Oct. :s.-Based on an
accurate survey Of the entire State made
for the confidential information OF the
state committee OF the Republican party
it can be predicted safely that Michigan
will give Hughes a plurality over Wilson
OF approximately 100, 900 votes.
President Wilson will run much
stronger In tho cities than n Demo-
cratic nominee since the FIRST Bryan
campaign. but Hughes will sweep the
rural and mining regions by a tremen-
dous vote. There will be a few OBJECTIONS
TO Wilson on the 'he kept us out OF war
