WHY STATE

Democratic Writer Believes
1918 Plurality Will Be
Maintained.
BY n. G.. TUCKER

Barring unforeseen circumstance
the Republicans OF Indiana tomorrow
viii repeat their victory of two years
ago-and by a plurality at least as
hcavy. In the ON year" election in
1918 the head of their ticket won by

ing development in politics in the last
two years to warrant the statement or
conclusion that the Republicans viii
not do as well tomorrow.
The Democratic leaders orer some
conditions and facts to offset the ad-
vantage the Republicans gained in 1918
but at the same time in attempting a
forecast there are developments in ma
tional politics which must be set do y n
as favorable to rhe Republican side OF
the controversy.
In 1918 the total vote OF the two
parties for secretary of state was $50

It VIII be recalled that two years

the labor vote-particularly that Cf

had not gone to the ballot box to place
its approval on high wages
IN the industrial centers thousands
and thousands OF laborers who were
receiving Unprecedented wages paid
attention to the election, much to
the disgust and chagrin of the Demo-
Gratis. In 1918 more than 81 900 men

polls az all. In that election approxi-
