G. 0. P. STRENGTH IS AT PEAK NOW; DECLINE BEGINS Democrats, Slow in Initial Organization, Will Finish Campaign Speedily. TAGGART SPURS FORCES The campaign of 1820 enters tbe last month with the Republicans at tbe peak of their strength in the nation, tbe State an<f the county. From toddy on the Democrats will steadily increase their organisation, their Interest in the campaign and their ability to win, while the Republican will travel with the momentum they have gained and nothing to accele ate them. The condition Is neither new nor unexpected in Indiana. In fact, it is true to form in the politics of this State. ■-•n Always the Republicans have maintained their organisation in better condition between elections than have the Democrats. TUB TORI’ REPKATS ITSELF) O. O. P. "SPURTS” AT START. Always the Republican have entered the campaign so well organised that they reached the peak of their etTiciency long before the election, and always they have had a hard struggle to hold their ground in tbe last four weeks before the election. As usual, the Democrats have been ■low in getting Into action. There is some disagreement between them this year as to whether their organization today compares with the organization they have had a month before previous elections, but the preponderance of opinion la that this year they are better off than usual at this time of the campaign. The Republican campaign in Indiana this year is not running with the smoothness that generally characterizes it. There is an open breach In the ranks between the exponents and the opponents of the Goodrich administration which all the efforts of campaign managers to keep in the background have not been sufficient to conceal. There is a lukewarmness in tlfe support of Senator Harding that is natural insomuch as the Senator was the fourth of the State for the nomination.

WATSON'S FOREIGNER APPEAL DISASTROUS. There ia revolt In the rank* ■painst the candidacy of James E. Watson, who has, -with characteristic bungling, alienated a great group of voters through hit ill-advised appeal to the foreign element For the first time in many years the Republicans are feeling the handicap of not haring the whole-souled newspaper support at the capital. The wabbling of the Star on the League of Nations issue and the hostllx% of the News to the Senatorial cabal and Jim Watson, has left the G. O. P. without avenues of publicity at have long been depended npon to “put across" weak candidates. In addition t* these things the Republican managers are confronted with the load of as unpopular a State ticket a* they ever had to handle. With Warren T. McCray, a “board of trade” candidate four-flushing as a farmer and opposing a soldier for Governor they have found that there is little abont their candidate to arouse public interest. With a candidate for treasurer who went short in his accounts as a connty treasurer not much can be aald about finances. With a Governor so unpopular that the managers dare not let him enter the campaign and an indorsement of his administration in the platform, everything points to the desirability of making the campaign on national issues.

TAGGART RAPS EXTRAVAGANCE IN GOVERNMENT Cites Audience to Tax Duplicates to Find What Must Be Paid Next Year. SPEAKS AT 3 MEETINGS j Tom Taggart went out in Indianapolis ! last night and met tbe folks and the folks met Tom and renewed old acquaintances. He spoke at three meetings In three widely separated parts of town and every place he went ho received an enthusiastic greeting. The first of the meetings was at Brlghtwood, In a motion picture theater which was filled to overflowing. , He spoke at this meeting on economy In government and on the League of Nations. I He quoted Senator Watson as declaring the high cost of living is due to increased wages paid to* workmen. “This Is not true,” Mr. Tsggart said. “If Jitu Watson and his nssociates had passed anti-profiteering legislation advocated by the administration, thenf* would have been no high cost of living. BELIEVES IN JUST I LABOR COMPENSATION. ! “I believe in a fair return for capital and a Just ci mpensatlon for labor to that the laboring man can educate his children and own hts own home and save u little money.”In speaking of tbe league of Nations, Mr. Taggart asked the women to register before Monday evening that they may cast their ballots for the league and for universal peace. From Brtgbtw&od Mr, Taggart went to Clifton and Cdell atreeta, where he found a hall crowded to capacity, with people standing outside tbe doors. • As he arrived Paul G. Davis, candidate I for Marlon County prosecutor, had Just | concluded hia speech. 1 "There la not a cleaner man or a man with mors ability in Marlon County than Mr. Davis,” Mr. Taggart declared, i Mr. Taggart immediately plunged into a discussion of economy In government | “We are all Interested In good govern--1 ment and an economical government,” he said. "The beet mongy is that which we save.” / He declared that extravagance In gov--1 eminent la responsible for increased taxes. 't’Wben you go to pay your taxs this ! fall.” he said, “ask the treasurer to tell you wbat they will be next year. “He will probably tell you that he doesn’t knew because the auditor still has the duplicates

WILE FIND TAXES HIGHER NEXT YEAR. “If he thill you this, go ssk the auditor. “There Isn't any question but tbtt you wtll find you will psy from 25 to 50 per cent more than you ever paid before in your life. “I honestly don't see sny reason for this increase.” He pointed out that the Republican party had Indorsed the Goodrich ad ministration, which he declared to be equivalent to n pledge to continue the activities of tbe administration. Including the levying of tbe present high taxes. He pointed out that the Democrats had condemned extravagance In government and had pledged an economical administration. Mr. Taggart discussed to some length hie experiences In the United States Senate relative to expenditure*. He declared that $23,006,000 to $30,000.000 are appropriated annually for rivers and harbors, some of which never floated a boat. He declared that one Mil carried an appropriation of $5,000 for "curing wild ducks on the Salt Lake in Utah," and that on another occasion SIO,GOO wss appropriated for the killing of coyotes and mountain lions in the Northwest with the result that seventeen coyotes and two mountain lions were killed by twenty-six men employed for that purpcse. “I began to get nneasy about these things, but 1 was told it was unpopular to object,” Mr Taggart said. ■“Nevertheless, I made a few remarks about spending money that brought no good to the people. “1 told them they ought to have a budget system. “When I go back to the Senate I am going back with the same attitude as bsfore. “I at* going back a free man Without strings tied to me.” In apenklng of the League of Nations he declared it should never have gotten into politics, as it is s humane rather than a moral question. He characterized the statement* of Republican politicians that the league would cause American soldiers to be sent to Europe to settle other people's disputes as untruthful. He rldlcflled the vacillating attitude of Senator Harding on the league question, pointing out that he had first declared for a separate pence with Germany, then for a revival of< The Hague tribunal, “with teeth,” and had later stated that he had no definite plan in regard to the league. Mr. Taggart declared thnt tbe "teeth” referred to by Senator Harding in speaking of the revival of The Hague tribunal could mean nothing but armed men. CROWD WAITS THREE HOI Rfi. From this meeting Mr. Taggart went to a meeting in West Indianapolis, whore be found a crowd which had waited out-of-doors for nearly three hours to hear Him speak. The meeting had' been preceded by a torch-light procession four blocks long. As he left this meeting a man approached him. “I want to shake hands with you, Mr Taggart,” he said. “When you were running for mayor my litttle girl refused to go to sleep ui*til she had a Tom Taggart button. “Now she Is going to vote for you.”

M c ) winey Refuses Last Food Appeal; Death Is Near MacSwiney’e |*| H IVC Without Record ** * UA I O Food LONDON, Oct. 2. —A last appeal to accept food was made to Terence MacSwlney in hie ceil at Brixton Jail early today by hiyi physician. The doctor warned the hunger-strik-ing lord mayor of Cork that he was sinking fast, and urged him to take nourishment. MacSwiney was so weak that he could not even speak and merely shook his head. The prisoner began the fifty-first day of his hunger strike today. Within easy reach of the patient there was again placed early today, a veritable banquet—no rich or heavy food, but tempting bits of nourishment. Just sustaining enough to give him anew lease on life and not too heavy to disrupt his system. The patient is so close to death that the slightest exertion even of his masticating organs, would bring on a coughing spell or a heart attack that would rip off the fbln thread by which hi* spirit is clinging to life. MacSwlney’s endurance has come to be looked upon as a .twentieth century miracle by the whole scientific world of Europe. All the reports and rumors that he was being clandestinely fe.i have been definitely exploded, not only by unbiased visitors to his cell who spent the long hours with him in close observation, but by the unlmpeached word of. famous doctors. The last of those to make the positive statement that MacSwiney’* fast was a “straight” one was Sir Norman Moore, noted specialist, whose dictum dispelled th© doubts oven of the most skeptical. Never since the lord mayor was first locked, up In the historic Brixton Jali has tbe atmosphere been filled with such virtual certainty that his death is but s few hours away.

TRICKS FAIL TO MOVE TENANT Edward Brand introduced a newway in which to force tenants to move from a house which he had pur-based, but the new “stunt” resulted In his appearance In City Court today to answer the charge of malicious trespass. Brand bought a house at 2226 Thornberry street, Aug. 4, and Mr. and Mr*. James Fox, the tenants, did not want to move. Brand declared he ordered them to move, that he refused to accept rent and that they moved some of their furniture, but continued to live in the house. Mrs. Fox testified that Brand came to the house while she was cooking supper, tore down the stovepipe In the kitchen and carried it away.
