For the life of us we cannot see how the Democratic editors of Indiana wars led to the folly of submittlug to the dictation of Thomas Taggart. But some of these same editors have gone so far as to sing the praises of Taggart.

What does he say of alleged vote-buying in toe Democratic legislative caucus of 1909? What does he say when these latter charges are made by his bosom friend, John W. Kern? Looking at the Democratic situation from a distance, it soetus to be a ohoice between Tom Taggart, oily boss on one hand, and Steve Fleming, toe Democratic governor’s vie# gerent of plunder, on the other. Tie humiliation of John W. Kem needs only another caucus betrayal te mil It pitiably complete.
