TIMES BVHEAU, AT STATE CAPITAL. Indianapolis, Ind., June 25. Through a combination of circumstances President Wilson, Vice President Marshall and Meredith Nicholson, the Indiana author, have handed the Taggrart machine In Indiana another Jolt from which It will not recover aoon. This came about when Nicholson refused to accept the appointment as United States minister to Portusal. It is a matter of common knowledge that Vice President Marshall did all he could to bring about Nicholson's appointment by the president. Nicholson and Marshall are close friends, and it would have tickled Marshall to death to see his good friend Nicholson enJoying a good, soft snap in a desirable diplomatic post. But the very mention of Nicholson's name in connection with any appoint

ment by the presidet was like a red rag to the Taggart machine, because during the recent campaign for the democratic nomination for mayor in this city Nicholson came out against Joseph E. Bell, the Tapgart candidate for the nomination for mayor. This made all of the machine sore at him. and when it was announced that President Wilson would appoint Nicholson Bell and others wrote letters to Washington protesting against it. They stirred up all the fuss they could. They bucked and kicked and raised the dickens in general. They denounced Nicholson and said he was not a good democrat. They thought that would fix him with Wilson. But In spite of all they could do they could not stop the president and he sent In the nomination to the senate. And now Nicholson has turned it down. The Taggart men were not able to prevent his appointment even to a position that he would not have. This has given the whole affair a humorous touch and the politicians are having a good smile about it. From surface appearances It looks like the more the Taggart men objected the more firm the president became in his determination to appoint Nicholson. That is where the Jolt comes in. Nicholson was not an applicant for this position or any other position, and he could not come out publicly ad refuse the place until It had been formally tendered him. But once offered it was declined with thanks. Nicholson now intimates that he will

take a hand in the coming city election campaign, and that he will go after the scalp of Bell in the fight for mayor. Nicholson is in a position to do this if he takes the notion. He hates the whole Taggart outfit and the outfit has the same degree of admiration for him. Another development that looks like a slap at the Taggart machine at the hands of the administration at Washington is the defeat of Congressman Cline of the twelfth district for chairman of the democratic congressional campaign committee. This, also, is laid at the feet of the machine, for it is said in a dispatch from Washington that if Thomas Taggart had not shown up at Washington on the day the chairman was to be elected Cline would have won in a walk. Cline was the candidate favored by the Taggart machine, and there was no serious objection to him among the democratic congressmen. He had enough votes lined up to elect him. Then, on Monday, according to the dispatch from Washington, Taggart blew into Washington. He began making inquiries in regard to the chances

of Cline's election, ad it is said that

he started out to see what he could do

toward landing a few other votes for

Cline, whom he favored.

This action on the part of Taggart

aroused the indignation of some of the administration men among the demo

cratic congressmen, and they started

out to head Taggart off and defeat

Cline. They nald they did not want as

chairman of the congressional campaign committee a man as closely al

lied with the Taggart machine as Cline. The dispatch does not say that

the administration took any hand in

the fight, but there was a conference at the White House, and soon afterward democratic congressmen who look to the administration for political

guidance began changing their votes, and Cline was deff-ated by Congressman Dorcmus of Michigan.

This has made the Taggart outfit

sore on the president and the admin

istration, but they find themselves "up against it," and they do not know Just what to do to get even. The Taggart machine has about as little standing with the present administration as one could imagine, and the breach appears to be growing wider all the time.

At the meeting of the Joint committee of democrats, progressives and disgruntled republicans held night before last in Willis E. Roe's office. Calumet building, there was a difference struck regarding the disgruntled republicans. The question was, should they or should they not be permitted a voice in the proceedings. The democratic committee men were willing to recognize the disgruntled republicans as at the meeting at which they were appointed they were instructed to crfnfer with the democrats

and d. r.'s, while the progressive members of the Joint committee questioned whether they had the authority to include the d. r.'s in their deliberations inasmuch as their instructions had con no mention of any other than democrats and progressives. However, no action was taken in this matter, it being merely the subject of discussion. It will be taken up later with the parties as a whole. Shortly after the meeting a sensational incident cropped up. This was the withdrawal from the meeting of Jake Friedman, who heretofore has been one of the acknowledged leaders

the spirit which animated Northeastern Michigan and made successful the Bee Day of the Lake Huron Shore Good Roads Association. L G. Oafoe, Mayor of Alpena, went without his breakfast that be might get on a gondola car of erravel from which he had been assigned to shovel for the day. It is estimated that over 150,000 enbic yards of gravel, sand and. earth were removed on Bee Day.' Five thousand teams were at work, ard 750 automobiles carried workers beck and forth from cities along the route to help the farmers. Over two thousand women, some of whom walked long distances, because all the teaniP were busy on the Bee, prepared and served dinner for the men beside the road.

It must have been the hot weather. The Gary republican and progressive executive committees didn't meet last night for the purpose of completing the final details of fusion. Not enough of the committeemen could be lined up. the call time was too short, and the weather was too hot. Conciliators Smith and Hodges, lord admirals of the fusion movement, today will fix a date for the meeting that is expected to accomplish the welding process. However, as both parties have agreed to fuse the meeting scheduled to be held will be a mere session of formalities.'

been brought to his attention that he !

was tired of it. No one. he declared, seemed willing to back up their alleged convictions along this line, but all his accusers were disposed to shift the blame for the allegation onto the shoulders of some party "who had told them" they did not believe Friedman to be sincere, and whose name had escaped them. Besides Mr. Friedman stated that he did not approve of the general tactics of the Joint committee. Another vote was taken on the question of the manner in which to nominate the ticket, and resulted in eleven in favor of a convention, while five stood by their instructions in favor of a primary nomination. The committees of the parties represented will report back to their respective parties, who will In turn name a committee with power to act, these to meet in Joint session July 7, at which definite action will be taken on the method to be employed in the nomination, and on other matters which concern the f u-sionlsts.

Stand By The Flag Let ua twine each thread of the glorious tissue of our country's flag about our heart strings, and looking upon our homes and catching the spirit which breathe upon us from the battlefield of our fathers, let us resolve that, com weal or woe, we will in life and death, now and forever stand by the Stars and Stripes.
