SMILING TOM TAGGART TO GIVE A SMOKER

Every Senator and Representative Asked to Attend Blonde Boss Affair Tuesday Evening.

T. Taggart is making the most of his , royal stand-in with the two branches of the general assembly. Friday he Sent to the house an invitation, .which the reading clerk read, Inviting all members to attend a “smoker” he will give Tuesr day evening. “It will give you an opportunity to become acquainted with each other,” said the note. The Taggart-loving house broke Into an uproar of delight and Rev. Clarence Pierce, of Randolph county, moved that the thanks of the house be voted to Mr. Taggart and that the house attend in a body. The motion carried with a big “hip and hurray.” The “blonde boss” is certainly getting the legislature right where he wants them and the success he iB having don’t bode any good for the temperance cause in the state of Indiana.
