TAGGART AND FAIRBANKS IN DEMOCRATIC SADDLE.

Control So Positive That die Better Element of Party Submitted Without Contesting It. The democrats at Indianapolis Thursday completed the organization of the state committee by choosing Bernard Korbly, of Indianapolis, state chairman. They set March 21st as the date for holding the state convention. They endorsed Tom Marshall again |or president, a veny half-hearted endorsement Crawford Fairbanks, the Terre Haute brewer, and Tom Taggart, the French .Uck gambler, were entirely in control, and the machine Axed things up so methodically that the rank and file of the party were entirely overriden and Sam Ralston will be the democratic candidate for governor, probably without opposition. Korbly denies brewery affiliation, but the denial is not worth his breath, I for his backing was all of that element Surely Indiana democracy has gone to the very depth of degredation in this new organization.
