THE FIGHT AGAINST TAGGART:— For many, many years there has been a determined and consistent tight against Thomas Taggart, democratic leader of the state, and the real reason was never more evident than it is right now—because his opponents have always feared him. He is the kind of a lighter who wins, who wins because he lights in the open, because he organizes and because those who fight behind him have confidence in him and his great ability. Robert Tucker, republican correspondent, in his letter to the Enquirer Sunday, said: "If ho can ‘get by’ at the polls in November with the sentiment that has been created against him, he will have upset all sorts of political traditions. It is an even bet right now that Senator Taggart can wallop the life out of James E. Watson, Rushville, or any candidate the republicans can put up against him. It ie interesting to note that in spite of the vicious attacks made on him that Senator Taggart is now at the high tide of his popularity in Indiana. An average man would have gone down long ago in the face of the things that have been said about him, but he has managed to maintain his position without a great deal of trouble. That many democrats in Indiana do not approve of his appointment is not denied, yet the preponderance of the sentiment is in his favor at this time.” Sure we are going to celebrate the centennial. County Superintendent Ed S. Christen is the regularly appointed county chairman and he is planning to call a meeting of everybody in the county interested in this big and important event. When he does you should attend and express your opinion oi what ought to be done, help organize anu help execute. Let's make it a good one. The death of Charles J. Mulligan, famous sculptor, has caused genuine sorrow among those of this vicinity, who knew and loved this wonderful man. He was recognized as one of the greatest men in his line in the world and had just reached the zenith of his fame after many years of endeavor. The people of many states join in a sincere expression of regret because of the untimely death of this gteat man. This is Dress-Up Week all over this country and in every large city the event is being celebrated in various ways. While there is no combined
