DEMOCRACY’S FIGHT To ns in Indiana it is a well known fact that the democratic state committee is making a tine record for itself in the way of organizing the various counties and pushing the political propaganda. Probably there never was a presidential campaign that looked so promising ' as this, and it certainly is a fact that never has there been a campaign so ably and aggressively managed. For once every faction is ' using its strength unitedly for the success of all the various tickets, 1 and the outlook therefore has be- . come decidedly encouraging from everv point of view. The astuteness of the campaign managers in forseeing that the republicans 1 would be placed on the defensive in every point, as far back as conven- , tion time, and their insistence in : placing the strong set of men up for the various offkes, is to be oom- ■ mended. The craftiness in secretly organizing the state before the re- , publicans had started their work. and the zeal with which the campaign has been pushed cannot be praised too highly. Only the far- , sighted men saw the positions the parties would be placed in after the National Conventions were over, and 1 we are proud to say that the Indiana democratic state leaders were J among that class. Their republican opponents were too busy splay- , ing politics in their own camp, and too confident of success to pty any attention to politics in its larger sense. The work of State Chairman [ O'Brien and his staff, as well as the able and convincing speaking cat p ign of Mr. Kern, is attracting attention outside the state. The Brooklyn Eagle has been oall--1 ing the attention of the East to the great work being done here to reclaim the state, and its correspondent N O. Fanning, has become so enthusiastic over the outlook here that he is insisting this work must have a succesful result. He is not given to making predictions, but he plainly states that he believes ihe state will go democratic if there is no let up in the work and no untoward event to mar the present bright prospects Thisjs what h-“ says: "Indiana has not yet tieen won for Parker Davis, but

■ the closest scrutiny of local condi- ' tons and a study of the reception accorded the democratic and republican candidates and propaganda lead to the conviction that the fifteen electoral votes can and will be I won for the nominees of the St. I Louis convention. The republicans are Jewing nothing undone to stir the rank and file from the apathy that presages nothing but ill for them. They are sending forth a veritable army of spellbinders, and the members of the state committee and the state candidates are h tiding meetings with the district and county committees all over Indiana, inciting the precinct leaders to unprecedented oolabors. If the demonstrations arranged to take place in the next week prove disappointing as those in the last few weeks have. I then word will be sent to the republican national headquarters that Indiana is lost. The republicans have been fighting to hold their own or to make advances. Now placed on the defensive in the advocacy of both national and state candidates and platforms, they are fighting to gain lost ground, and to those who have observed the struggle in Indiana in past years this is unmistakably a most encou raging sign. The republican managers are doing all in their power to put an end at least to all out ward appearances of the clash bet ween the Fairbanks and anti-Fairbanks forces. which is assuming such alarming proportions. Furthermore they are resounding the warning against , over-confidence. The democrats on the other hand have just begun to fight. The jiarty leaders, from Mr. Kern and Chairman O'Brien down through the entire Isit of candidates and organization workers realize their opportunity and are endeavoring to make the most of it.” This will do much to encourage the Eastern Democrats, and show them that they must equal <-ur efforts. From now on Indiana needs ail the help it can get from the East. We can carry the state with the full co-operation East, and we believe Illinois leaders feel the same way. We must have speakers ami . money to put the conservative issue-- before the conservative independent voters, who are leading 1 our way.
