One little error in judgment, one little indication of defeat and the Republican organization will go to pot faster than Will Hays can spend money. The Democrats of Indiana ought to win this State easily. They'are facing a divided enemy, without a real issue and with a record that smells to high heaven. They have presented a clean ticket led by the most popular man Tn the State and the best organizer. Tbeir greatest danger lies not in doing something wrong, but in doing nothing, and the Republicans have sensed that fact and are doing all they can to help the Democrats do nbthir.g. Throughout the Democratic organization of the State and Marlon county there are men who are "pussy-footing." Som* of them are honestly afraid to stand on their feet and fight the Republicans. Other* have been Induced, through Republican friendships to confine their activities to onk line, which will do least harm to their Republican friends. This condition and the lack of money with which to carry on the fighk constitute the two great handicaps, which the Democrats must overcome to win. Steadily, principally through the amazing activity of Thomas Taggart, the Democratic organization in Tncfiana is gaining* ground. feteadlly, principally through the lack of a Taggart, the Republican organisation is weakening. If this condition continues the only question in this campaign is whether th* period between now and election Hay It long Enough which to reverse the political complexion of Indiana

BOARD OF WORKS AGAINST BOOST Riley and Lemaux Explain Stand in Gas Muddle. ■ i Any one who gathered the impression from statements made during the conference*, with officials of the Citizens Gas Company yesterday that they are in favor of an -increase In the gaa rate of from 60 to 90 cents per 1,000 cubic feet (s mistaken, George Lemaux, president, and Thomas A. Riley, democratic member of the board of public works, declared today. “I am not in favor of 90-cent gas unthe company can -show fbat it is absolutely necessary to have this in order j to supply the full measure of gas needed ■ and that of 600 British thermal unit strength," said Mr. Lemaux. "Personally, I do not understand why the company should have a 90-cent rate now when It went through the war period without it and prices of materials are coming down. I think it would be a mistake to permit the increase,” Mr., Riley said: “I am in favor of no substantial Increase until there has been a thorough investigation of the whole gas problem, and then only If It is shown that It Is necessary to enable the gas company io live up to Its original purpose of furnishing gas for botlj heating and cooking purposes. v "The coke situation, to my mind, needs a thorough probe."
