HE. HOBR STATE III HUH LIST
Indianapolis, Iml., Sep!. 2. Of
the hulf dozen states of the union
which arc classed as politically
"doubtfuT, lndliiMH Is perhaps next
to New Tork the most fickle. In Its
partisan allegiance. Although the
dominance of the republicans has
been almost entire In the lust dozen
yenrs, the Hoosler have not yet
reached the stage where they may be
t
reckoned upon as a CI. O. P. asset.
The staunch old-line democracy of
Hendricks and Voorhees continues to
exert a great Influence In Indiana po
litical affairs. This year the com
monwealth of Hooslerdom is declared
by political wiseacres to bo tho -bat
tlcground of the two great parties
and beyond doubt the most uncertain
state of tho unloa.
Campaign managers of both great
parties understand this and are pre
paring for a battle royal In their en
deavors to secure the Hoosler vote
Six Ticket in the Held.
Six parties have tickets In the field
and all arc making extravagant
claims of coming victory. That Pehs
Is a Hoosler will help the socialist
party, while the populists also have
an Indiana n on their national ticket
as vice presidential candidate. Add
ed to this the selection by the demo
crats of an Indiana man for second
place, and It will be perceived that
many personal considerations will
play a part In the result.
The republicans, after a decade of
unbroken supremacy, ridicule the
Idea that they will not again sweep
the state as In 1896, 1000 and 1904.
The democrats proclaim that their
party has not been so united nor Its
prospects so bright since 1892, and
that victory In November Is as good
as certain.
The prohibitionists now less than
ever a negligible factor In Indiana
politics expect to make the most
vigorous campaign In their v history
and believe that for the first time
they will break Into the state, legisla
ture. The populists, stimulated by
the nomination of a Vlncennes man
for the vice presidency, are confi
dent of making the best showing
since the organization of the party.
Tho socialists, with an Indlanlan at
the head of their ticket, are similarly
optimistic.
And the Independents avowedly re
gard the Hoosler state aa. one of the
most promising fields for their prop,
aganda. If the plans and projects now
being given shape In the councils of
the various parties come to realiza
tion, Indiana may well feel, as Henry
U'atterson predicted, more than any
other state In the coming campaign
the agonies and throes of political
combat.
There are, at any rate, half a dozen
factors tn tho nltuntlnn nrrtiical
to make thefight hotter and the out
come more uncertain than In any
campaign of recent years. For one
thing, there Is the candidacy of John
W. Kern.
Everybody understands that Mr.
Kern had no particular claim to his
party's consideration except in so far
as his nomination might be expected
to help democratic prospects In his
own state. At Mr. ISryan's Instiga
tion he was placed on the ticket at
Denver for this express purpose, and
the responsibility for the carrying of
Indiana lias been laid absolutely upon
his shoulders.
Mr. Kern Is admittedly an able,
honest man nnd a pleasing orator,
an cnuiusiasuc campaigner and a
master of political craft. There is no
man, unless It bo Bryan himself, who
Is more popular among the democrats
of the state than he; and outside the
ranks of his own party he counts his
friends by tho thousands.
He stands In close relations with
the party forces that were accustom
ed to win victories In the eighties and
enrlier nineties. It would seem that
If any Indlanlan' could be de
pended upon to attract Hoosier votes
for tho national ticket, that man was
John W. Kern.
Yet Kern has never been conspicu
ous as a vote-getter. The mere fact
that he has been twice defeated for
the governorship of Indiana does not,
perhaps, mean much, for those de
feats came in the overwhelming re
publican years of 1900 and 1904.
None the less, In 1904 his oppon
ent was supported In but a half
hearted fashion by large numbers of
republicans, and though Mr. Kern
made a fight which will not soon be
forgotten In the state, he was defeat
ed by some 86,000 votes and ran
barely ahead of the national candi
dates, Parker and Davis.
It would seem that he Is one of
those unfortunate politicians whom
everybody likes, but who, more or
less unaccountably, is never quite able
to convert this pleasing popularity In
to a preponderance of votes. The
candidacy of Mr. Kern will ungues-1
llonably add z. st to the democratic i HOtT.WVS JI.IVK t'HAXtJKI)

Muskogee, Okia., Sept. 2. It's all,
over but the shouting. Mr. Taft Isj
sure to be elected. Mr. Bryan mayi
as well retire from the race and save'
trouble and expense. Governor Green
MeCurtain, chief of the Choctaw na
tion, says so. And what Governor
MeCurtain says goes Among the
Choctaws.
In past elections, the Choctaws
have been consistent democrats and
have always voted the ticket straight.
Disappointed by the alleged failure
of the democratic state administra
tion to keep Its promises to the red
skins, MeCurtain has come out flat
footed for Taft, and declares that the
men of his tribe will vote the repub
lican ticket from top to bottom.
It is alleged that the bad feeling
against the administration extends
also to the Chickasaw tribe and that
tho latter will Join with tho Choc
taws In supporting the republican
party.
Republican politicians of tho new
state are Jubilant at the reported ac
cession of the redskins, but the dem
ocratic leaders are Inclined to take
the reports with a grain of salt. They
say that MeCurtain cannot control
the vote of his tribesmen and that
even should he succeed In doing so
the 5000 or 6000 Indian voters will
not be sufficient to overcome the
white democratic majority in Okla
