The blight lights of New York are holding the attraction of the thousands of visitors at the democratic convention. but Indiana has come in for a share of prominence with its state songs, the merry-makers singing. “On The Banks of the Wabash," and “Back Home Again in Indana.” New Yorkers seem to like the old Hoosier style and the way of doing things. Then after the democratic convention comes the meeting of the Progressive Political Action League which will be held in Cleveland on July 4th. lat Follette may be nominated for president by the new party and then the fight will be a three sided affair. Rumor, based on political writers, also, has it that Senator Borah might consent to head the >ocelled progressive ticket and in that case It would mean a most interesting campaign. The Loyal Order of Moose build a ffew hnihe in this city •ffifltf’ the near future and the festival and race meet to be given July 4th and sth Is for the purpose of adding a few dollars to their building fund. They plan to give you a real entertainme.it, both afternoon and night and your support will be appreciated by the five hundred men who ure affiliated with this organisation in carrying out lhe idg program of caring for the hundreds of little children at Mooeeheart.

Face to Face With Senator Tom Taggart The Hoosier Senator (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) The outstanding veteran “Boss” of the old days ut Democratic Convent ons in New York, who has held his own longer in gaming candidates than any other man is Senator Tom Taggart of Indiana. He has handed V. P. nominations on u platter, and has had much to do with determining Presidential candidates. More than once he has cast ths deciding vote. A Hoosier of Hoosiers, although horn In County Monagahan, Ireland, in 1865. Senator Tom Taggart has made his mark in political history! despite the fact that he does not live in Ohio, but in Indiana, a State which entirely surrounds French Lick

Elected Auditor. of Marion Cottny in 1886. he soon became Democratic State Chairman and was elected Mayor of Ind anapolis for three terms. In 1904 he was chairman of the Democratic National Committee and has been one of the prominent leaders in the Democrat c inner cirde ever since. Serving a term as United States Senator from Indiana, he was not as happy in Washing on as in his own ballwiok directing as- ( fairs in ind ’ana and incidentally. watch ng the entire field of national . politics. One of the most popular and high] class of the so-called "Bosses," Tom Taggart's friendships are real and het spends his own i me ami money to help his friends without hope or fear, of reward. A philosopher, he loves, potties as other men do baseball and golf. An ardent and personal friend of Senator Ralston, the favorite son candidate of Indiana, he had plans tba 1 were not w'dely published prior the opening Os tile Democratic Conventton He talks little for publication. but can give more compre hensive directions and ndications of what he would like in fewer words than any other leader. “I like to get the poHt’cal Judgment of men away from their business and 1 horn" town.

An organization man to the.backbone, he does not attempt to disguise it.
