TO BE SENATOR

TIMES' III RK KV AT TIIK STTK CAPITAL

Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 29. Thomas ! Taggart wants to be United States sen- ' ator so badly that he can taste it. but the way things are working around It i 1 hard to figure out Just how he is pro- ' tng to manage It. Senator Hhively's 1 term will expire In 1316 and either he will be elected to succeed himself or pome on Is will 1) eiectd to succeed Mm at the legislative session of 1915. unless the present law rppardlnp the election of senators is changed. This '. will be the first vacancy in the office of : senator in Indiana. j It is presumed that Shively will be a : candidate to succeed himself, and If Tngerart wants to be senator at that time he will have to beat Shively to Ret the place. How Taggart coitld go into a race against Shively is difficult to figure out. since Shively and Tagsrart have always been linked up to gether in p.yitlcs and have played th"e game t os: t-t her. l-'-'r.ator Kern's term will not expire until two years after Shively's and it is safe to assume that he will be a candidate to succeed himself. It is not believed here that Taggart would run asainst Kern for the place, because of their life lor.R friendship, aithuuk!) Kern and aTggart have not played politics together as strongly as have Tagpart and Shively. However, by the time of the expiration of the term of Shively there may he an entirely different system for the election of t'nited States senators, for

the democrats are practically certain to brinK about an amendment to the I'nited Stalec constitution so as to provide for the election of senators by direct vote of the people. Already both hou-:es of congress have adopted a joint resolution calling for a . vote by the Individual states on the proposition to make t'.,is change in the constitution. In order to amend the constitution three-tourths of the state, legislatures have been in session since congress adopted that resolution, but all of these states have ratified the proposed chautre. Twenty-one states. Including Indiana, wi'.i have sessions of the legislature in 191.1. and in nearly every case the democrats have a ma

jority in the !egisiatur. This makes it practically certa.n that they will all ratify the change. The remainder of the states will hold sessions of their legislature In l'Jl-l, and it is reasonable to expect that a majority of them will adopt the amendment. The direct election of United States senators by the p.ople is a matter of democratic policy, and this makes ft practically sure that democratic leRislatures will adopt it. The affirmative vote of thirty-six state legislatures is necessary finally to adopt the amendment. Now, suppose th'.s amendment is finally adopted and put into effect before i the 191.'. session of t ie Indiana leglslaj ture. The election of senator for the ' first time under t iat law would take place at the state election of 1914. The ouestion now arises, would the people

of Indiana by popular vote elect TagK;irt? Vv'ould the democratic party nominate him in convention over Shively and other candidates who might wish to run? It has been customary to re-elect the United States senator as long as his party Is in power, and this precedent might prevail In this case. This would mean the elimination of Taggart and the re-election of Shively. Tf Taggart misses the chance at that time it Is not at all likely that he could be nominated or elected over Senator Kern two years

later.

i

Taggart has long been a reaction- j ary in politics and the progressive spir- j it of the country has prown up around him. as around the other reactionaries ' in all parties. Taggart. Is enough of . a politician to see the trend of the times, and he has now come- out in support of a progressive policy on the part of the democratic party. He has announced himself in favor of the enactment of a public utilities commission law in this state along with th" rest of the progressive program of legislation. Whether this conversion on his part will benefit him in the- race for senator or whether it will be regarded as merely a political move remains to be seen. Shively lias an opportunity to strengthen his fences through the ppointment of the right kind of men to the offices which he will have at his command. Some of these officers are important onces. They are places that , ought to be filled with men of the highest integrity and ability. If Shively makes the mistake of appointing machine democrats or old-line political heelers to these places he will undoubtedly alienate from his support many progressive democrats throughout the state. This would be dangerous to his chances for re-election, because Shively. as well as every other person, is hound to take cognizance of the fact

that Indiana has become a progressive state in political sentiment. Indiana people have made it plain that they I are through with machine politics and ! machine politicians.

present Republican incumbents will not expire very soon. But In every case, whether the place will be open soon or lato there is a horde of applicants. The two big jobs which will he open for appointment at any time are the two revenue colectorshios. one at Indianapolis and one at Terre Haute. A revenue collector Is not appointed for any specised length of time, and he may be removed at any time. Therefore, these two places aho available, or will be as soon as tVoodrow Wilson becomes "President next March. Elam II. Neal, collector of the Indi-

they have information from what they regard as a reliable source that Kruysr is to get the Terre Haute appointment. They have not disclosed their source of information, however. Fablus Owin. of Shoals, is said also to be a candidate for the Terre Haute, appointment, as Is also Voorhees Griffiths, of Terre Haute, but Kruyer appears to have the call. If this is true then Charles A. lid ward 9. of Huntington, Is the only remaining candidate for the Indianapolis appointment that is now known. Ed wards has strong backing. It is sail that a number of state officials have taken up his cause

Jt was understood here a few- days j ago that Senator Shively and Kern has ; agreed on a division of the four prin-i cip.il Federal appointments, the two colleotorship.s, I'nited States marshal and I'nited States district attorney. It was given out from a source that ought! to be reliable that Shively would appoint the two collectors and Kern the other two officers. However, it is now i said that this division has not been made or agreed on, but that It will probably be done this week. Senat :r Shively is expected here next Thursday night or Friday on his way to Washington, and it is understood that he and Senator Kern will have a conference in regard to the matter at that time. Peter J. Kruyer, of South r.end, ban been mentioned as the most likely man for the Terre Haute oolleotorship. When it became known that he was under consideration for the place some persons raised the question of whether he could be appointed to the place, since he did not live in the Terre Haute district. Some said that If he was ap- , pointed to either piace It would have to bo Indianapolis, because St. Joseph j county is In this district. P.ut it now I developes that the place of residence is immaterial. There is no rule or law. so it is said, that requires an appointee as revenue collector to live in the dis

trict to which he is appointed. Therefore, it is pointed out. Kruyer could be given the Terre Haute appointment. Some of Kruyer's close f i itndp s:i y

in various parts of the

state have lined up behind him. In the Terre Haute district there is a deputy collector at EvansvlHe. He Is Charles Covert, and he will have to make way for a Iiemoorat when the change is made.

Pittsburg, Ta., Nov. 27. Pig iron interests were eminently satisfied with the prices fixed for lake ores for the year 1913, as announced by the lake ore interests on Wednesday and Thurs- ; day. The ore firm of Pickands, Mather & Co., took the- lead In the announce- : merit of the nnv prices, setting a precedent In fixing the schedule before the opening of Iiecember. Heretofore i the fixing of or" prices has been left ! until mid-December at least, and occaslonally has gone over to the opening ' of the new year. The schedule as announced by Plckj ands, Mather & Co.. which was accepted ' by al lother large Lake Superior ore j operators, provides for an advance of i 60 cents above the 1912 prices. The new level Is still 10 cents under the 1911 prices. ! The new base is: Old range bessemer. $4.40: Mesaba bessemer, $4.15; Mesaba non-bessemer, $3.43 all prices be

The car shops are txpiet.-d to enter the new year with mo.-e than ten months' business on books. The rail mills are filled to August 1, with considerable tonnage in standard rails still to be filed. Spec locations for rail deliveries for 1913 show a great variance in the analysis, composition and weights of rail desired, which it Is f.-ared will handicap the mills. ' BACKACHE IS A

mands of consumption at Its present rate. Rallrnml Ruylng Continues. Large sales of bessemer and basic pig Iron continue to be the feature of the pig iron situation.

This has been accompanied by an advance of about 25 cents In basic iron, to $l!..r)0 valley furnace or $17.40 delivered to Pittsburg. Bessemer has been held to the stand -pat base of $17 25 valleys. Demand for foundry Iron for immediate delivery has drive nthat grade still higher, and producers are asking $17 50 at furnace
