TIMES BJL flKAI , Al STATU CAPITAL. Indianapolis. Ind.. Sept. 28. A correspondent of the Kansas City Star, who was in Indiana looking: into political conditions, has sent his paper an Interesting story which throws something of a new light on the Democratic situation, as it relates to the chances of Governor Marsahll' for the Democratic nomination for President. He intimates that the Governor has been carefully Inspected by the traction and gas interests In the east and that ha has not been found to be unsatisfactory to them. It has all along been believed that practically all of the sorporate interests would be found line up In favor of the nomtnatlcrn rrt trovernor Harmon, because of his long identification with those Interests, and or this reason the story of the Kansas City Star correspondent is of special lditrest.

cie in the Star is as follows: "Political developments in Indiana Indicate that Governor Thomas R. Marshall may have a more important part in the next National Democratic convention than the Hoosier Democrats have heretofore expected. This may come about through the operations of Thomas Taggart. Democratic national committeeman, commonly believed to be the political foe of the Governor. None has been qul;e so bold as to say they believe Marshall will enter in an agreement with Taggart for the Indiana delegation and for Taggart's support In the convention, but the feeling is growing that some such arrangoiuwi.

will be made before the campaign for

the delegation Is fairly under way. "After the recent conventions of Indiana Democrats, with the Governor's striking victory over the Taggart

rorcea, whereby the democracy was pledged to John Worth Kern for the United States Senate, it was said that Taggart was done and out and that his machine was hopelessly smashed. But when the smoke of the convention had cleared away it was discovered thai the Taggart coterie had captured virtually the entire state ticket. The ticket was elected from top to bottom, and the Taggart forces are now in control

of the remunerative places In the

affairs of the state. "Most of the voters of the state, however, are in sympathy with the Gov

ernor as against the Taggart machine. But the Governor has no organization, having neglected. In his almost iiree years in office to build up one. "Hence the talk of a compromise between the Marshall and the Taggart forces whereby Marshall is to receive the support of Taggart and the Taggart organization in the national Democratic convention. "In return, it is said, Taggart is to be given control of tho state organization, and the Governor is to work for the renomlnation and re-election of Taggart's friends on the state ticket. "Color has been lent to this political tale by the further report that the big eastern Democrats have looked over Marshall and have found him satisfactory. It had been believed that Taggart would be found supporting Judson

Meantime, If, by giving his undivided support to Marshall next year In the Governor's race for the presidency, Taggart can elect the Governor he desires, he can further aid his plan for the senatorshlp. It is said it will be definitely known in thirty days whether Marshall is to subscribe to the scheme." A little inquiry among politicians here developes the fact that there is probably more truth than poetry in what the Kansas City Star correspond

ent wrote his paper. When the article was shown to one rr.:.'. r-ald: "I have no doubt that It is true. I can see why the corporation Interests might decide on Marshall as their most desirable candidate for the Presidential nomination. Undoubtedly tfcey would prefer Harmon, because of his long association with those interests and because he has always ueoii k, jrporatloo man. But they probably figure tha

they could not elect him. They feel, no doubt, that he would be a weak candidate because of the fact tnat h-i ti always been recognized as a corporation man. The very fact that he is their kind of man would be an element of weakness ln him as a candidate for President. Therefore, It is but natural that they should look around for some other man who has no corporation record of any kind. Finding such a ,an for a candidate, they could nominate him and he would go before the people without any of the suspicion as to his connections that would be sure to follow Harmon. Who would they be more likely to choose than Marshall under these circumstances. .What they will strive for is to elect a President. It makes little difference to them who he may be, for they can surrouna m.n with advisers and managers who would

gan to get busy ln their search for franchises and to establish their foothold In those counties. Another feature Is pointed to as being significant in this connection, and that is that Stephen B. Flelng. of Fort Wayne, is closely connected with the Philadelphia traction interests. He is reputed to be a heavy stockholder in the Indiana traction lines which are controlled by the Philadelphia people, thus bringing him in close direct touch with them. Fleming also is Marshall's chief boomer in Indiana for the Presidency. Therefore. It is not difficult to believe that the Philadelphia traction people would find Marshall satisfactory as a candidate for the Presidency.

Making Ills Mark. "One funny thing I have learned about human nature," said a dru? store cashier, "is the habit many peo-

I ile have of marking their name in the

city directory. They do that beca-use the directory is the only" place where their name er gets into print, and it has such a fascination for them that they can't resist calling attention to it. A funny little eld man who likes to talk tells nte that he has made special trips to different parts of the city Just to mark his name in the directories of the neighborhood. He puts a little cross ln red ink before it. I asked him what good it did. He said none, possibly, although he Is a teacher of lanlanguages and may get a few calls on account of that queer advertisement. "But his is an exceptional case. Not many persons spend time and money hunting up city directories, but every time they happen to see a new one they can't help looking up their name and putting some kind of a mark around it." Philadelphia Ledger.

As Indiana will vote for the first time at the next election under a general registry law, and as another law,' known as the corrupt practices ac, puts many restrictions upon candidates and party committees, a work of education is now in progress in all parts of the state that has not before been necessary as a preliminary to a campaign, says the Chicago Record-Herald. For more than a quarter of a century the Republicans of Indiana have favored a registration law and have advocated it in party platforms, wnll Democrats were practically a unit against It. That the present law, more stringent than any that Republicans ever proposed, should have been enacted by a Democratic legislature may seem strange in the light of past party history, but the change in sentiment came through one election and through the methods employed In one county. At the general election of 1908 the Democrats elected only the governor

and the superintendent of public in-

lnstructlon. The Republican majorities for the other state officers ranged from less than 100 to 500. Aided By Illegal Votes. When the votes were canvassed it was seen that Lake county had saved these offices for the Republicans. Charges of fraud were freely made by the Democrats and proceedings for contesting the elections o the Republicans were drawn up and a mass of evidence secured ' to show that more than 1.000 illegal votes were cast In Lake County, mostly by foreigners. It was then discovered that there is no provision either in the constitution oi in the statute law for contesting the election of a state officer, and the proposed proceedings had to be abandoned. It was this condition that gave to the state the registration and theeorrupt practices act, both of which are Intended to guard the elective franchise.

Under the registration an inspector

will hold sessions in May, September

and October preceding each general election. Watchers may be present to see that frauds are not committed. The law is hedged about with many provisions to prevent fraud, and severe
