OF ST. LOUIS DETAILS

Senator, During Brief Stop In Indian apolis, Says Democratic Outlook Never Was Better.

By Willis S. Thompson.

INDIANAPOLIS, June 9— Senator Thomas Taggart spent the day in Indianapolis, being on his way from French Lick to St. Louis where he will remain until after the national convention. Much of the preliminary arranging for the convention will be under his direction, acting with his successor on the national committee, E. G. Hoffman, of Ft. Wayne. Under the ruling of National Chairman William F. McCombs, new members will not take their positions until after the convention, when the committee reorganizes, but it was the wish of Senator Taggart that Mr. Hoffman co-operate with him In working out the preliminaries of the convention. Secretary A. C. Bailee, of the Indiana democratic state central committee, is also in St. Louis with the senator and Mr. Hoffman, handling much of the organization detail.

During his day in Indianapolis Senator Taggart conferred with Bowman Elder, president of the Indiana Democratic club, concerning the spepial excursion of Thomas R. Marshall boosters, which will leave here at 10:30 on the morning of Tuesday, June 13, the day preceding the opening of the convention. It Is the wish of the senator that the largest crowd possible of Hoosier boosters be on this train, special low fare rates having been provided by the club. While there is no doubt about the nomination of Vice President Marshall, the crowd will serve the good purpose of letting the rest of the country know how strong Indiana is back of her favorite son for the vice presidency. Every man in the delegation is insuried admission to the convention hall. The vice president will remain in Indianapolis while the convention is in session.

Reservations already made for the special train insure a large representation from all over the state but the excursion boosters are not going to stop selling tickets until the train pulls out. The Indianapolis Military band will be with the excursionists and will head the parade from the depot to the headquarters in the new American hotel. upon arrival at the St. Louis Union depot at 5 o'clock Tuesday evening. A moonlight excursion on the river is among the special features on the program. "The outlook in both state and nation could not possibly be better," said Senator Taggart in referring to the reports he has received at St. Louis from everywhere. "With a man like Woodrow Wilson, who is as big a man as ever occupicd the white house, the party was neverv_so well united for a live and successful campaign. Added to this united party strength, is the fact that the record made by Woodrow Wilson and the democratic congress has won thousands of progressive voters in all the other parties. 8tate Ticket Strong. "So far aa the state ticket Is concerned I can certainly see no reason why any voter should be against our state candidates or why they should not give them their full «ndorsement to the excellent record of debt paying and progressive legislation that has accomplished wonders for Indiana, If we took nothing but the vocational education law and the workmen's compensation, and stopped right there, we would have gone forward farther than the republicans progressed in the many year* that they held all the offices. "When we add to these more than a score of other good laws equally beneficial, and then when we add to all this the record of eoonomy and efficiency tn state government, Including the payment of a large state debt twenty-one years before maturity, thus saving heavy Interest charges, what in the name of sense the republicans are ging to talk about as an excuse for ask lng the support of any voters, is too much for the average man to even at' tempt to figure out. "They hare been saying lots about 'Americanism' at Chicago, but the people who have been repeating the •word don't know what they mean if you Mflc them. They have to holler

something like the fellow whistling as he goes through the graveyard on a dark night—they have to keep up their courage in their darkest and loneliest hours. So far as Americanism is concerned, there was never a better American or one who stood stronger for American ideals and rightsAwhile occupying the -white house than has Woodrow Wilson and he has not accompanied all his acts with brass band accompaniment or bombast. "The republicans back home certainly. got small comfort out of the Chicago dispatches, telling of the woeful lack of enthusiasm among delegates. There were years when the democrats did not get much nationally or at home in the way of office, but we were fighting for principles that always kept us enthusiastic. With no campaign issue and no great principle at stake more pronounced than the wish to.be elected to some office, we can not be surprised at a lack of enthusiasm at Chicago."

Fixed for It.

German societies from all over the country sent telegrams to the resolutions committee demanding support for a plank against the selling of war munitions for export.

The plank urged for woman's suffrage was defeated in the sub-com-mittee early Thursday morning by a vote of seven to two. This left the only hope of the women with the committee as a whole.

The' German propaganda here against Roosevelt, lead by Horace Brand and Dr. Hexamer, has been called off, its leaders saying that they have Roosevelt "stopped." Early in the week

Boise Penrose was said to be willing to swallow his old enemy, Roosevelt, as a last resort for victory, but the protest from the Germans is said to have changed Penrose's mind.

At the headquarters of the woman's party here are some of the banners which adorn the lobby: "Fifty-fifty, that's all "Get your ribs back, here" they arc "Plenty of argument but no reasons against suffrage."

Prof. Irving Fisher, noted economic writer of Yale university, appeared before the resolutions committee of the progressives and urged the adoption of a nation-wide prohibition plank.

When it was announced that Senator Weeks would be nominated by Senator Henry Cabot Lodge convention visitors perked up their ears to hear something oratorically flossy.

Gov. Whitman will do the honors for Charles Evans Hughes and it was said that he has no set speech, but will de-

Indiana delegations were certain that Will Wood would sustain the reputation of the literary and oratorical belt in his presentment of Mr. Fairbanks.

Some of the progressive delegates started a fight on Walter Brown, of Ohio, for chairman of their convention, wanting him to give way to Gov. Hiram Johnson. The governor declined to enter into any contest for the distinction and thp spat ended.

George W. Perkins said that the progressive convention was loaded with dynamite and might go off any minute. Some stand-patter replied, "Cancel the liability insurance and let 'er."

On Thursday newspaper interviewers asked the progressive leaders what they would do if Roosevelt would refuse to run on a third ticket. They said they never thought of that. Then they added, "He can't refuse us."

Prof. Elwood Kemp's intellectual countenance appeared in the door at the Indiana headquarters Friday morning for a few moments, but the rush and din seemed to make him dizzy and he adjourned.
