Impartial judgment today gives Indiana to ' Bryan. His status has been tested in many ways, always showing Taft has lost the state. Bryan's plurality is estimated at from 16,000 up. Late polls at both head quarters show such a result Indiana has about 1,000 townships, with an average of 7S0 voters each. The average township change from Roose velt in 1904 to Bryan in 1908 is be lieved to be SO, giving a total change of 50,000, or 100,000 gain by transferring one side to the other. This gives the state to Bryan, according to the present calculation, ueyonci a reasonaoie aouDt. The entire state is experiencing an upheaval. Besides the extreme dissatis faction of the Fairbanks following with Taft's nomination and- the popularity of Bryan among all classes, local causes are in operation to accelerate the move ment towards tsryan. . Coercion aad Bribery. Taffs managers have virtually con fessed they are losing on straight-out campaign , arguments, by abandoning everything but the coercive method of attempting to frighten voters and try ing tne siusn iunu, exactly as iney aia in 1S9 and 1900, when the "full dinner pall" was the argument. It ts believed that the prevailing depression now tends to prevent the Republicans from making a success of the scar of wage earners. Tom Marshall, Democrat will be i elected governor almost certainly. Wat son, tbe Republican nominee, was one of Cannon's personal followers in th house, which brings Into the Indiana campaign more than elsewhere the Issue of Cannon's domination of the bouse and the failure of the Republican con gress to pursue a policy of genuine remedies for sbuses.
