The author of the article analyzes Republican losses and the Democratic victory in Indiana following the 1908 election, where James E. Watson was defeated in his Senate race. This defeat is attributed to a number of things such as the local temperance movement and Governor J. Frank Hanly’s determination to call an ill-advised special session of the legislature. However, more broadly the author points to a lack of unity within the party, poor organization on the part of the Republican party, and a resistance to machine rule.
