Th, INDIANA I SAFE T Progressive Vote Dividing Half to Wilson, Half to Huyhes, Which' Would Give President State by 100,000 Fairbanks Unpopular Bosses in Control of Both Parties. Ity (ill.sox i A 1! 1XK It. IXIHANAI'OI.IS, Oct. 2 I The pro gressive . vote, aeroi'dlni; to reliable polls, seems to be dividing In Indinna about one half to lltiKhcs nnd half , to Wilson, as nearly as can be esti mated. Assuinlnj; that Wilson holds the vote lie polled in 1 ft I u this would kIvc him I In; Indiana electors by over 1 flu. noo plurality. Tito si t u lit Ion In this slatn is morn complicated than In ninny of the western states. There Is no woman voti) to back up Wilson's pacifist policy, though there are many men, who are for him because "hp kept us out of war." The democratic and re publican machines nre both moro or less tied up with vicious biinlness In terests and the state tickets are about six to one and half n dozen of the oilier. The newmuipotH or the stales, with u few notable exceptions, (ire controlled largely In the Interests of the republicans: ludiutui I'tiijit-csNivcs. The proKi'essivrs in Indiana have maintained their orKanl.atlon nnd have n full state ticket In the. field. At. the same time It is admitted that the progressive electors will ln passed over and most progressives will choose between Wilson and Hughes. ' Two I". S. seuatorships ai' at sttike. John W. Kern is running for re-eleu-ilon. and on-lnv to the death of Shlv ley. ihero Is a second I'luce to fill. Tom Timuert was appointed to the va cancy and he is now running for the rest of tlie sU-year term. Opposed In Tacert and Kern nre Harry New and .lames Watson. The republican candidate for governor Is .Mm Coodrleh, for years head of Ihe republican stale umclilue. KlM'S Atlti-llooM'Vclt. In order to iinderstaud the situa tion hero it must bo recalled that In the fight over tlie nomination of Taft four years ago. the anli-IInosevelt canipain was coudueiee) by this In diana republican combination, tlu Cooilriih. KiilrluinKs. Keallng, Wat son. New machine. Watson was the man on the p hit form, doing the open and active parliaiueniury business, lie is the same Watson who figured in the Muihall lobby exposures, touching his activities ns nn ex-congressman. Coodrleh is Interested In public util ity companies, while KiiirbnukR nnd Kealing stand for tlio railroad nnd other big corporate interests. The choice between this repuliilcnn ticket anil Tom Tuggert, the demo cratic boss who would not claim to be any more virtuous, hut who Is probably more human, and certainly more popular, Is a llnbson's choice. Hence the progressive slate ticket with .lohn ri. Clifford candidate for (lie senate, and Thomas Oally, candi date for governor. This ticket will poll the "conscience vote." which ro liels against the two rotten slate inu- ch ilies IVlkiit. 'rliriMin llown. t'.corie l'erlilns tried to deliver (he Indiana progressive organisation to the. llughes-Keallng outfit. Per kins has sent Jl 1.000 into the state to perfect Hie or :aniatlon.
