proK rr.si v ticket?. j A Mu-iy of tri ligurps -will showthat if the reput'litrans and progressives all ha! vowJ the icpuhllfiiri ticket, as they used to do, th. y would have carried th" state- by about the! same plurality that they bad four, J'urs ts'ii, when Taft carried Indiana! i y i Democrats Didn't Stray, J Trie cemncrats appear to have stuck, to .hfir party. They elH not scratch much. Neither did they stray away froin their par tv camp. They remained loyal, and all ot ih pre-c. invent ion : talk "bM;i the pre-. it nurtje. -r of elerno-! ra;s who intended to vote the pro-' pressive ticket Is se-n now to iiave ! been a myth. T.ut l fore election day' ther.- was ne. possible way to tell what ' they would do. It was yai.l that many ' democrats would support T'.o sevelt arid r.everidjre. That they did not do It is shown by th- facts stated. Arid Pev.rids; runs so little ahead of Koosevelt as t' make but a small difference.
As a result, the prosrrpsslve party, under the law, will inherit all of the ! Iphts and privileges which belong to the second party In the state. These rights and privileges include representation on all election boards and on the hoards of election commissioners. It puts the pre suresslve party in possession of .1 political machine, a thing that they have all alonir opposed and denounced in bitter terms. The Beverldse element in the state.
therefore, is a train in the ascendency ami In a position to make a hard fight for success In two or four 3-ears. A Wide Chasm. (if course, this election means that there is now a chasm bttwitn the progressives and the r opub.'ie.ms that Will net he briiUred in many vears. Factional troubles In a par;,' are nr.nl to .llm'.r.ate. The tU.ht has bee.i bitter and hard. I'.oth sides h.v- shov, n no litiarter. The tattle v.'as n place for women anil children Th prortss:es have won out, nnl they are not expected to let go a n v.- h In they bap pained in this siruorlo. On the other hand the democrats in
Indiana are so completely In control of everything that -it is only a. question of a little time until they will beWill Celebrate.
(iovernor Marshall, the vice-president-elect, has already received a bushed of teleerams of congratulation. They came from every quarter of the country. There was one from Wood row Wilson, another from W. J. Bryan, one from National Chairman MeOomb, and others from many other leading democrats. Plans are already under way for a bl ratification and jollification meeting ef democrats In this city tomorrow niprht to celebrate the election of (Governor Marshall. First In State's History. For the first time in the history of th state, Indiana will next year have a s'iid democratic delegation In congress. Tlie democrats defeated Congressman Crumpacker, the only remaining republican member ejf congress, from the tenth district. This will rl ve them thirteen congressmen
an '1 two united Strifes senators from Indiana, with a democratic vice president from Indiana, to preside over a democratic senate. Tile second important development come Intoxicated with their ununited power and beIn doing thinprs they ought not to do, just as always has
been the case with a party in absolute control.
Factions Expected.
Factions wiil sprint; up and fly at each other's throats to wrest party organization control from the other fellows. This will mtke a tiht and finally it may be' sure tei rip th" party wide, e.pen, just as has been the- case with the republican party, and the result will be that the democrats, now so flushed with victory, will jro down to defeat. They have a rreat opportunity, but no patty with tile amount of power conferred on It that has Just been conferred on the democratic party, ever lasts lone; In that position. The next legislature In this state will hf overwhelmingly democratic with a few republicans and projrrosnl ve members. There is no end to what democrats may do now if they take a notion to do it. The people will hope for sanitary ar.d conservatism on their pert, because the- pcopU- will have to live under their rule for the next two years or four, at least.

Tremendous Split Vote. The split voting this year was tremendous and never in the history of local polities was tin: re anything ever like it. The entrance of the bull muons ticket in the f,(!d is the cause for the split tit lit voting. The strength 0f the third part y movement surprises! the party loader, and if the county ticket had received the same support as the national and state tickets the republican county ticket would have goiio. down to a disastrous defeat. The vote for conftress throughout the district gives John P. Peterson an unofficial majority of about SOO. but It may be cut down sti'l more. Mr. Peterson claims l,ake county by 600. Tippecanoe by ."jO'i, White by Q', Newton by 1-5 and Her.ton by 3. He concedes 400 to Crumpacker in Warren. Porter by 200 and Jasper by 25.

Frank T. O'Hatr, a young lawyer, apparently has the famous "Uncle Joe'' defeated by about fed') votes. Cannon is said to be a loser In his own
county, Virmilion. Mr. Berper was crossed off the legislative slate by William H. Stafford, Milwaukee fusionist. who ran as a democrat, though himself a standpat. republican. The blow to Wisconsin socialism in this respect was not looked for, as most students of the situation had given Mr. Merger the plum In advance. Representative Cannon has served In congress almost ferty years and was speaker of the four houses of conpress bejjlnnlnsr with the fifty-eighth. He was displaced by Champ Clark, who was aftaln elected yesterday In the ninth Missouri district, ar.d probably will strain be awarded the gavel by the house majority. William P.. McKir.ley.

Mrs. Mary McAllister. Wntling street, attempted to commit suicide yesterday by taking carbolic acid. The acid had been in her system so long when the phy sicians who we re called in to revive her oiriveel, that at first her life was despaired of. but thi.j morning she Is reported as doing well. N'o reason has been attributed by the family for the woman s act. The woman's condition was fir:t ellscovered by her little te n-year-old daughter, who found h.-r mother lying unconscious on the bed yest rday afternoon. Tho girl tried to rouse the
