TAGGART S 11 SURPRISE

TIMKS IH It K A V, AT STATE CAPITAL. Indianapolis. Ind., July 10. The resignation of Thomas Tagrgart as Democratic national committeeman from Indiana Is an interesting political development of the last few days. There Is a story in circulation, and it appears to have some foundation. tthe effect that Tatrpart has resigned because he is not in accord with the progreslve policy that has been adopt-

want Wilson nominated. Ho favored Harmon first of all. but worked for Marshal, under Instructions from the state convention, as lonp as It looked like there was a posibility that Marshal might be able to pet the nomination. TajTRart fought every progressive move that was made at the Haitimore convention and only quit when he -was licked along with the rest of the reactionaries. Then the nomination of Wilson followed. Tagart and the rest of the Indiana delegation voted for Wilson e-t-ciuse they had teen bombarded with telegrams from Democrats back home urging them to do so, and because they throught they might In this way get the vice presidency for Marshall. But IVpgart was not at all pleased wit a the outcome, according to' this story, a, id it Is the belief of some of the politicians that he is quitting the game

I because he does not feel like lining up

with the powers that now control the party. Taggart's friends, however, deny this story, and point to th fact that when he was rt -elected national committeeman, following the state convention, he refused to accept until he had made It plain that he would reserve the

right to resign the place after the na

tlonal convention. It was said at that time that Tkggart made this reservation because he felt that" there was a possibility that he might be elected national chairman to succeed Norman R. Mack. , This might have been put through, too. If the reactionaries had controlled the situation and had nominated a reactionary ticket. But the progressives grabbed the convention and made the nominations, and there Is no room now for a reactionary national chairman. Therefore, It Is pointed out, Taggart was In a position to drop out gracefully. It Is practically settled as a fact that Taggart's successor will be W. H. O'Brien, state treasurer. O'Brien Is a Taggart man and was treasurer of the democratic national committee when Taggart was national chairman in 1904. So, after all. If O'Brien Is chosen It will be just the same as keeping Taggart in the Job.
