ONE OF THREE TO FILL TAGGART GAP Woollen, VanNuys or Ralston Seen as Possible Choice for Senate Race. MUST BE APPOINTED Tbp withdrawal of Thomas Taggart as i candidate for the demoerStii; nomination for United States senator from Indiana creates a vacancy on the primary ballot which places the task of naming • candidate for the nomination in the hands of the state central committee. At this time three prominent Indiana democrats have been suggested as successors to Mr. Taggart as a primary candidate for the senate. They are Evans Jtoollen, president of the Fletcher Bavand Trust fompany, Indianapolis; Frederick VanNuys, United States district attorney, and Samuel M. Ralston, former governor of Indiana. Mr. Woollen is popular with Indiana democrats because of hts ability which he has proved in the business world and in the position of United States fuel administrator for Indiana during the world war. / Mr. Woollen was urged by ids friends to become a candidate for the senate, but he declined their proposal because he believed that Mr. Taggart desired to make the race. Mr. Woollen's friends believe that, inasmuch as Mr. Taggart j has declined to he a candidate, be would not be adverse to accepting the nomina- j tion. CAN BE PROin OF CLEAN RECORD. While he has never held a public office, Mr. Woolleu has taken part In democratic party movements for many years. He has never been associated with any particular element in the party j and his record is clean. During the war Mr. Woollen was known as one of the most efficient fuel administrators In the country. Asa result of his ability he was called to Washington, where he assisted Fuel Ad rninistrator Garfield until the Work of the department was concluded. Frederick VanNuys is well known to every democrat in Indiana. He was chairman of the state central committee during the 1918 campaign and in this rapacity he gained a wide acquaintance. Prior to becoming state chairman, Mr. VanNuys was a member of the state senate. He was prosecuting attorney of Madison county, which is his home, before he came to Indianapolis as a member of the senate representing that county. VanNuys became United States (Strict attorney last January, succeeding L. Ert Slack. RALSTON MAY AGREE TO BIN. Mr. Ralston is another possibility whose friends have urged him to seek the nomination. Early in the campaign li made the statement that he was not a candidate for any office. Later his frienda circulated a petition in his behalf j planning to place his name on the primary ballot for governor. He refused to ! permit this, however, because he had pledged his support to Dr. Carleton B. j McCulloch and felt bound to stand by his pledge. Like Mr. Woollen, Mr. Ralston did not seek the nomination for United States senator because of the itn pression that Mr. Taggart would be the candidate. The state committee is expected to be ’ called into session some time this month. It appears probable that one of the j three probable candidates named will be i selected by the committee. The refusal of Taggart to permit his name to stand 83 the only entrant in the democratic senatorial primary leaves} him free to assume the role he has long 1 and in the performance of which he Khas done much for the democratic party j Vnf Indiana. ' Neither seeking office himself nor being persuaded to become a nominee he is free to devote his own peculiar genius to the reorganization of the democratic party in the state and the conduct of a vigorous campaign, which alone is necessary to the success of the democratic ticket In Indiana this fall. Mr. Taggart, it is conceded by all who know him, can not and should not refrain from taking an active part in Indiana democratic politics. The democratic party of the state without .Mr. Taggart would be a number of groups without a directing head. With Mr. Taggart as a candidate the guiding genius wbieh has been of such benefit to others in the party would have been dimmed by the general restrictions Imposed by the candidacy. Asa candidate for the senatorshlp, to which he was entitled by every right known to politics, Mr. Taggart might easily have set back and watched him seif elected whether the rest of the ticket won or not. As genial Tom Taggart, always working for democratic success and always sought out and regarded as the leader of the party in the state, Mr. Taggart will be, as usual, Interested in the success of the whole ticket. The democrats of the state in the opinion of most politicians, have lost a nominee whose success was assured, but have regained a counsellor under whose guidance they will be able to elect their whole ticket. In speaking editorially of Mr. Taggart, the Ft. Wayne JournalGazette says: "Indiana politics has never known a more pleasing personality. His smile is known from coast to coast. And behind the smile there has always been the good will and the generous intent. No one Perhaps ever went to Tom Taggart for a favor that was possible of bestowal to carry disappointment away. And no one applying for a favor ever had to present party credentials. To him people are just ‘folks.’ No bitterness In party combat has ever left a scar. There was a time when his very predominenee made enemies, but that period Is gone. His popularity has withstood the wear and tear of time. And emerging at the age of 60 from the smoke of innumerable battles he finds himself saluted by a xinaniinous party, and* respected and liked by I ail, regardless of political affiliations.'’ impression created among close observers In Indianapolis by Mr. I Taggart’s withdrawal from the sena- j Itorial race is that he withdraws in P . =1 Catarrh Gone No More Hawking and Snuffling When You Breathe Hyomei HVOMEI (pronounce it High-o-me) Is guaranteed to end the misery of catarrh.

Think of It! He Proposed 111 Times and Now She Sues
NEW YORK, March 10—Claiming that he had told her he was divorced and had proposed to her ill times, Mrs. Evelyn M. Lewis has filed a, breach of promise suit against Isaiah I,’idz, wealthy manufacturer. Following the 111th proposal she discovered Lidz already had a wife. Lidz called Mrs. Lewis his "Dollylocks,” she says. order to devote himself unselfishly to the promo v .on of democratic success. It is recalled that Mr. Taggart is thoroughly impressed with the desirability and necessity of a vigorous campaign in the state. From now on the political observers expect that the democrats of Indiana will take the offensive in politics and that the offense will be helped by the very capable hand of Mr. Taggart. whose ability along that line Is known to both republicans and democrats alike.

THIN PEOPLE SHOULD TAKE PHOSPHATE Nothing Likp Plain Bltro-Pliosphaie to Pnt on J-'irm, Healthy Flesh and to Increase Strength, Yig&r and Nerve Force. w Judging from the countless preparations atul treatments which are contin ually being advertised for the purpose of making thin people fleshy, developing arms, neck and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and angles by the soft curved lines of health and beauty, there are evidently thousands of men and women who keenly feel their excessive tbiinness. Thinness and weakness are often due to starved nerves. Our bodies need more phosphate thau is contained in modern foods. Physicians claim there Is nothing that will supply this deficiency so well as the organic phosphate known among druggists as Mtrophosphate, which is inexpensive ami is sold by Haag's seven stores, also Hook's drug stores and most all druggists under a guarantee’of satisfaction or money back. By feeding the. nerves directly and bysupplying the body cells with the necessary phosphoric food elements, bitrophospbate should produce a welcome transformation in the appearance; the increase In weight frequently being astonishing. Increase in weight also carries with it a general improvement dn the health. Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of energy, which nearly always accompany excessive thinness, should soon disappear, dull eyes brighten and pale cheeks glow with the bloom of perfect health. CAUTION—WhiIe Bitro- Phosphate Is unsurpassed for the relief of nervousness, general debility, etc., those taking ■it who do not desire to put on flesh sbonld use extra care in avpiding fatproducing foods.—Advertisement.
