WANT COOK OFF TICKET.

Democratic Congressmen Fear Effect of Ex-Speaker on Rest of Ticket. Washington Sept. 2. —The viiit of Tuomas Taggart and State Chairman Bernard Korbly of Indiana, at the national capital has stirred up an interesting si L nation. At least 'our members of the Indiana congressional delegation are saying privately that, tor the good of the ticket of the democratic party in Indiana, Homer L. Cook, the nominee for secretary of state, she 1H be taken off the ticket, owing to attacks on legislative methods in the last Indiana House of Representatives, of which Cook was speaker. These members are not saying so out loud —at least, not so that Taggart and Korbly can hear them. They are just spreading the word around where it will do the most good and are saying that -they are receiving numerous letters from their districts stating that Cook is too heavy a liability to be carried any longer. But Taggart and Korbly say "No.’’ Nor is there any lack of emphasis when they give the negative answer. On being told what the disgruntled members of the house are saying Chairman Korbly today made the following statement: ’’By the Eternal, Homer Cook will not be withdrawn from the state ticket! There is not a single member of the State committee who would vote to take his name off the state ticket. His name will stay on the ticket and he will be elected secretary of state by a large majority.’ The state chairman spoke with great earnestness. Mr. Taggart said: “If there are members of the congressional delegation who know any reasons why Homer Cook should not stay on the state ticket, why don’t they come out and say so over their own names?’’ I aggart and Korbly put in a busy day and will be even busier tomorrow. Final action on the Clayton bill in the senate prevented Senators Shively and Kern from assisting them to procure speakers, but tomorrow' there will be a general roundup of oratorical talent. It is planned that the senators shall accompany Taggart and Korbly to the White House tomorrow, when an invitation will be extended to the President to speak In the Indiana Campaign. Taggart and Korbly were presented to the President by Representative Korbly, but the visit was entirely social. At Chairman Korbly’s request Vice-President Marshall agreed to make three or four speeches for Senator Shively in Indiana, at places to be chosen in the future. Senator Ollie James of Kentucky. also was seen and he agreed to stump Indiana.
