Marshall will run away from Theodore Roosevelt and President Taft in the coming election in Indiana unless there is a political upheaval, of which no signs are manifest at this time. Conditions as they now exist seem to warrant the prediction—or rather estimate —of the democratic leaders that their presidential ticket will have a. majority of from fifty to eighty thousand over either Roosevelt or Tait. As far as can be learned the third party has not made any serious inroads on the democratic ranks, and it is admitted that without a large number of democrats supporting him Roosevelt has no chance of carrying Indiana over Wilson. No one has conceded Taft a chance of victory, and the indications are that he is loosing ground steadily. "Inquiries made throughout the state regarding the situation preliminary to the forma! opening of the campaign show that Wilson is liable to receive many more votes from the republicans than Roosevelt* will from the democrats, and that Roose- ' velt is liable to run far ahead of Taft, | but far short of Wilson. “The reports support a conclusion advanced by men engaged in obtaining an unbiased view that thousands of republicans i>olt their own party and vote for Wilson if they conclude that Roosevelt has a ghost , of a chance of winning, “The psychology of the situation is | such that the efforts of the ardent Bull Moose managers to create the impression that Roosevelt is going to sweep the state may react very seriously against him. From every quarter in which a careful injuiry has j been made the word has come that an army of so-called reactionary republicans who are now intending to stand by their party will flock to the | standard of Wilson if he needs their , votes to defeat the third party candi- i dates. "While the situation is contusing l and without parallel, it is becoming ' less difficult ot anaylsis. The split among the republicans is too serious to be halted in favor of either Roosevelt or Taft. The latter's followers evidently will be pleased if they can run second, although some, of them are asserting with a poor show of confidence that Taft will beat Wilson. “What the Taft managers maintain most vigorously is that Roosevelt will run a poor third. They are fore-, ed to admit that many of their strongest workers are deserting the organ! ration and are flocking to the support of Roosevelt and Albert .1. Beveridge for governor, yet they Insist

that here is more noise than substance about the Bull Moose movement and that when the votes are counted their predictions will be verified." The notification meeting at Indianapolis tomorrow will be the big event of the early campaign. Several from Adams county will attend. Noah Egley of Fort Wayne was nominated at a convention held at Ft. Wayne Saturday as the republican nominee for joint senator for Adams and Allen counties. The convention was not an over-enthusiastic one, and was participated in by only a few of the real faithful. The Clover Leaf railroad ought to buy up the properties and remove the houses which shut off the view at the Thirteenth street crossing. A deathtrap like this one cannot be longer tolerated and they will have to either place a gate, day and night guards or arrange things so travelers may get a sight of the trains before they are on them. If we can awaken the people here to an effort that will result in this protection to the lives of our people, we will feel amply repaid for any part we may have had in it. It should be done, too, before any lives are sacrificed to stir us up. They Are All Coming ffontinuen from Page 11 Huntington, Ind. Glen Hoisappie, Lndianapoiis, Ind. W. S. Hughes, 71. Wayne, Ind.
