Third District ItOHERT S< IIAA AItTZ 1 TAGfiART , VS. WATSON: — . Tlic Indiana Daily Tinies is , for Senator Thomas Taggart for the short term in the United States Senate, and wilt do what it <~n io help bring -about Taggart's election. We are foi Taggart and we are against James E. Watson. The Times , regards Watson as, Impossible. In this there, is nothing personal. We find both Taggart and Watson personally likable. Between the two candidates for the short term senatorship we make our choice, and that choice is Taggart, the man who is the better fitted to render service to the people. Fortunately we are able to judge between Taggart and Watson on the records made by both men in public office. . Judging Senator Taggart by his .Showing at Washington, we must say we ttnd much to commend and little to criticise. Judging Watson by his record as a congressman, together with the lobby employment he later accepted, we find the record as a public servant led logically and by pretty definite stages 1 to the lobby employment. We cannot feel it is the safe or 1 wise thing for the people to go to the 1 egislapve lobby to choose the poo- 1 pie's lawmakers. The lobby is a pri-

vate agency and not primarily concerned with the well-being of the whole public. We should not knowingly transfer lobbyists from the lobby itself to the seats wnere lawmakers sit, nor would we wittingly turn over to lobbyists the lawmaking function or power. So Watsonf*the lobbyist. became impossible Die day he accepted employment as a legislative agent for private interests. We do not believe the voters of Indiana wish to be represented in the United States senate by James E. Watson, or by men of his typo. The record shows how Indiana people stand on the particular issue which Watson himself has raised. The verdict was against Watson and his public record in 1908, when he was defeated as the republican nominee for governor, though the state went republican for president and most of the republican state ticket was successful The primary verdict last spring was against Watson, overwhelmingly, when the combined vote of his opponents is considered, as it must be considered. The word was delicately but positively conveyed to Watson at the primary that he was not wanted as a United States senator. It remains for the November finding to put a convincing finish on the lobbyist as an aspirant for high public office. So far as the Times is concerned, we believe Indiana voters will turn from the Watson type,, to the sturdy, business type, to Senator Taggart a man of proved courage and common sense methods. —Indiana Daily Times. Judge Jacob F. Denney, democratic candidate for congress, able mid fearless in his beliefs, well posted or. the great issues of the campaign, will address the voters of this vicinity tomorrow evening attthe court bons < You are urged to hear him.
