Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 97.—It is | itively asserted that the poll just completed by the republicans shows Indiana to be democratic by 18,000 majority. q This revelation threw the republi- ean leaders into a state of frenzy and > eonsternation. Chairman Hernly secretly issued a call for a meeting of thestate executive committee. To » the members of the committee Hern- ; ley said that at the present time the state is in the hands of the democrats and it will take a heroiceffort for the republicans to get it back before elec- tion. Poll books were carefully gone over andthe members of the committee * themselves verified the report that the state is democratic by 18,000 majority. . a State candidates were informed of - the situation and urged to make a canvass of the state and as- sistin making a more thorough or- | ganization. Col. Durbin, republican # candidate for governor, who had been looking after the organization » inhis own part of the state, will shift the scene of his operations. ia The republican poll shows that the © greatest change from the republican tothe democratic columnis in the counties comprising the gas belt. ‘This state is due to the operation of the trusts in that section of the state, Many of the largest and most im- portant plants of the cities in the gas belt have closed within the last twoyears and thousands of men have been thrown out of employment. In Anderson, Mr. Durban’s home city, hundreds of laboring men have been thrown out of employment within the last year as aresult of the Operations of the trusts and they will vote the entire democratic ticket. were SOME HOT SHOT FOR DALTON.
