TAGGART SCHEME IN FIGHT FOR NOMINATION IS UNFOLDED

TIMES Bl'REAF, AT STATE CAPITAL. Indianapolis, Ind., July 17. Slowly but surely the inside workings of the Tom Taggart faction of the Democratic party In this state on the subject of the nomination for governor are coming to the surface, and it will not

ob long umu tne wnoie scheme on the 1 things bo as to throw all of their part of the machine will be known, j strength to O'Brien and nominate him. XTSSart has been saying that he favors. This would mean a throwdown of Ralthe nomination of Samuel M. Ralston I ston, but a little thing like a throwof Lebanon for governor. It is said j down would not cause any pain in the

mat ne nas told Ralston that he is for him. and it Is known that he has told others the .same , thing. .He said' in Washington the other day that Ralston seemed to be in the lead as a candidate, and he also had many nice things to say about Ralston. But at the same time a number of the rock-ribbed, dyed-in-the-wool, blown-in-the-bottle followers of Taggart are talking in favor of the nomination of W. H. O'Brien, auditor of state, for governor. They are telling what a fine man O'Brien is; that he is a good politician, a good fellow and a popular democrat; that he would be a strong candidate, and that he could be nominated if he would get into the race and that he would sweep Indiana as no other democrat could sweep it. As stated above, the men talking this wa y about O'Brien are genuine, radi- . . e .... . ' have followed Taggart In all kinds of fights. They never question his leadership. They go on the theory that "the king Is always right and never wrong." So, when they hear Taggart talking for Ralston it seems, .strange that they would get out and talk for O'Brien. There seems to be an Impression now tbet O'Brien will not make .any announcement at any time that he is a candidate for the nomination tr. o-n crnor. This is believed to be a part of the Taggart scheme. Taggart will r then go ahead and aid Ralston In a way, unless he can talk him out of the ' race. This Is believed to" be one of the Taggart plans. It may be that after a i while the Taggart outfit can talk Ralston out of it on the pretense that he can get something better, or that that since he stands no chance of landing the nomination he may as well get out.

Lake County's Lively Capital

big crowd collected around the Injured man and the occupants of the Handley car were unable to learn the particulars of the accident, further than It was reported the driver of the motorcycle had small chance for recovery. The Lyric theater opened for business on Saturday evening and played to crowded houses during the two performances. The management has abandoned the idea of running the photoplay house every evening during the hot weather and will give the next performance on Thursday evening. Meanwhile the picture show fans are bewailing their .fate of being deprived of their evening's pleasure. Miss Josephine Wheeler will return today from a two weeks' visit with relatives at Janesvllle, Wis. Mrs. Eugene Crowell and daughter, and Mr. and Mrs. Will Vilmer and -"u aiiu duo. Ylriii inner and daughter, Lillian, returned on Saturday from a week at Winona, where they attended the photographers' convention. Mrs. George Stewart of spent Sunday with relatives Hub.

Will Grover, R. G. Parry and Miss Clara Oser of Gary spent Sunday with relatives at this place. Mrs. Blachley of Lowell Is visiting her daughter, Mrs. Will Handley, for a few days. Crown Point will not have a home ball game for two weeks, the next contest to be staged at Whiting when the league leaders tackle the Oil city players in that town next Sunday. But, in any event, It Is understood O'Brien will not make any announcement of his candidacy, but will merely allow the talk to take its course. Then when convention time comes, unless Ralston is nominated on the first ballot. O'Brien will be in position where the Taggart fellows can manipulate political conscience of the Taggart other words, it Is believed that O'Brien with the aid of the Taggart outfit, is going to keep himself in good condition and be in position to receive the nomination at the convention if it can be thrown to him. Some of Ralston's friends fear this very thing. They insist that before the convention day arrives Ralston will be so strong that neither Taggart nor anyone else could beat him for the nomination, but still they are worried over the chance. One loyal Ralston man said, the other day, in speaking of the governorship race: "I had a talk with Taggart the other day and put the matter squarely up to him. I nsked hi m Who he waq fnr o-rtv-mmrkT Via enl V.. -r- i xh " T Z a "? lor "a'sion. Then I asked him who he would h tnr would be a candidate. In fact, he said, tie was almost certain that O'Brien wbuld not be a candidate. But, I asked him, if O'Brien does run, then who will you be for? Taggart said he would be for Ralston. I have no doubt that deep down In their hearts Taggart and the Taggart crowd would rather have O'Brien than Ralston, but they know they could not nominate O'Brien with- ; out a fight which, would disrupt the party, and they would rather have Ral ston without a fight than O'Brien with a fight."

This man said also that the only way j rates with good security, and all that O'Brien could be nominated by the is needed is a trust company to take Taggart outfit was for him to stay on care of their business Interests here the edge of the fight until the conven- j Our firm Is the Indiana outlet for these tion, and then slip in quietly and land companies and we have been frequently the nomination. If the Ralston men asked to come to Gary.

much easier about the whole proposition. There Is one reason for the belief that O'Brien will not be a candidate for governor, and that is that for him to I do so would mean that he would have io step aside as auditor of state, and there would then be a wild scramble for the nomination for that office. Governor Marshall cannot afford, since he has announced his candidacy for the nomination for president, to 'have any ai minutes in nis own Ilr V In al division in the party as to endanger his chances for solid support. It seems to b admitted that O'Brien is to be Marshall's campaign manager next year, in the work of obtaining a delegation to the national convention. And it Is believed that with his prestige as state auditor O'Brien can aceomDllsn more than if he was a candidate nimsen tor governor. It is known that Governor Marshall wishes to have peace In the party next year. This is another reason to believe that O'Brien will not run for governor. His candidacy would mean a hard fight with Ralston , and his friends, and the governor cannot stand for it. But the coup could easily be pulled off at the I

APPLES CAN BE

I There are no more reasons why an Indiana man should go to Oregon to grow apples than he should go to Illinois to grow corn. For a good while it has been confidently asserted by horticulturists who have investigated the subject that as good apples can be grown in this state as anywhere else in the country and now we have had a practical demonstration of the fact by a comparison of home-grown apples with Oregon apples at the annual meeting of the Indiana Horticultural society. In fact. It is now convincingly claimed that in color, substance and preservation the Indiana product is superior to that of the west. This accords with assertions that have frequently been made by horticulturists of the middle states that, while their apples were generally smalle rthey were better flavored than the western apples; and with the improving methods it has been demonstrated that there Is no reason why they should be smaller. The production of such magnificent specimens as Oregon sells to the rest of the country at high prices is no mere question of soil and climate. It is a question of care, of cultivation, pruning and spraying; of comprehensive knowledge of orchard management and thorough and painstaking work the year around. The trees cannot be allowed to grow up as they will, but must be trained to grow up as they should; they must be fertilized and cultivated properly and they' must be painstakingly sprayed, not after It is discovered that they nee"a it, but before thereare alarming indications, for when these are dls- i covered it Is generally to late to have convention. The fact that O'Brien Is looked upon as the Marshall campaign general for next year in this state is being discussed also, because those who have watched the course of the governor in his fierce battle against Taggartlsm In his party are wondering why he would allow so radical a Taggart man to have anything to do with making up the Indiana delegation to the national convention, when it. is known so well that Taggart favors Governor Harmon of Ohio as the democratic candidate for president. But there are so many things in politics that the average men cannot th.t o i r,rfsp t mh anv.M.

The Harbor boys played the most brilliant game that they have ever played since the present team was organized. It was featured by two home runs, which even the umpires were forced to acknowledge, much as they apparently hated to give anything to the visiting team. Crown Point, as always, played a good game, but the boys were scarcely up to their usual standard of excellency. While the decisions were coming thick and fast In favor of the home team.

The trouble with apple growing, as well as the growing of other fruit, in Indiana la that It has been regarded in most cases as little more than a byproduct of the farm. The orchard is set out and then left pretty much to shift for Itself. Instead of beinar fertilized. the ground is also frequently planted with other crops which have robbed the trees of the fertility they needed Intercropping in orchards is by means impossible, but it must be sclen tlflcaliy done and care must be taken that it does not starve the trees. Some times such orchards have borne fai crops and sometimes none at all. When they did not bear, the farmer merel said it was a bad year and took none o the blame for neglect of his trees on himself. The really scientific and Industrlou orcnaraist aoes not nave bad years. The only difference is that some years are better than others. But in no years he allows his trees to spread disease or his fruit to become wormy. So, too he picks and packs his apples with care that prevents their being bruised and thus conserves their keeping quail ties to the greatest limitAll tnese things can be done In Indl ana Just as well as elsewhere and, 1 fact, they are being done by men wh are getting large returns from thei orcnaras. uur sou ana climate are exceedingly adapted to the purpose, an what is quite as important, we have better shipping facilities and are close to the best markets, thus saving on freight charges.

that Cecil Henderson, the Hebron distant runner, who is well known here, has begun training for the race with Gavit. which It is expected will be run at the Lake County Fair5 in August. "Henderson has run but little in competition in the past two years, while Gavit was the star of both the Northern Indiana nd State high school meets this year, winning both distance events at each meet without extending himself. "Henderson claims the amateur championship of northern Indiana for both the half-mile and mile events. He has won several races In this city and has seldom been pushed. " "He says that he realizes that he will meet a far better man 1n Gavit than he has ever met, and for that reason he has started to get himself In shape, and says that he will give Gavit a very hard race and that unless Gavit Is In his best shape for the race Henderson will beat him. V "The Hebron lad says that arrangements have not yet been completed for the staging of the race as an attraction for the Lake County Fair and says that so far Gavit has not shown much Inclination to meet him. "The followers of the Hammond wonder say that it is not a case of 'cold feet' however, and that Gavit is perfectly willing to run Henderson at either distance. "The Hebron lad has many backers al over this county who are eager to see the two boys meet."
