PROTEST AGAINST TAGGART Just what has done it is not known but the word seems to have been passed around among Democrats here that the Rev. Kuhn is the man to stand for, for congress. It could not have been the unanimous action of Wayne, in Kuhn's favor, for action taken there has been recent, but it has helped the movement along and braced up the Kuhn following wonderfully. They are saying nothing against Lon Mull who is an avowed candidate, further than that he is rich and given to taking things easy, while Kuhn will hustle for votes and 'make speeches. If Wayne and Fayette could settle the matter it would be settled now, but the decree has gone forth that Mull Is to be supported, and he will be, with little doubt, in Rush, Shelby, Hancock and Decatur and possibly in Franklin. Henry is on the fence while little Union may help Kuhn a little, having but little to give. There are some local protests against Taggart dominion in the state. One man says, "The people are not with Taggart, but with Marshall." But it ought to be asked where do the people come In in a state convention when oily Tom has the delegates? Connersville News. SOCIALIST MAYOR May Be Elected as Milwaukee's Chief Executive Today. THREE STRONG CANDIDATES (American News Service) Milwaukee, April 5. With no "wet" or "dry" issue on their hands, Milwaukee voters today went to the polls prepared to cast their ballots for choice for mayor Three strong candidates are in the field and there is an element of uncertainty as to the outcome. Usually the result of the municipal elections have been easily foretold, especially so. when Mayor Rose was up for re-election. In some quarters of the city, it is believed that Milwaukee will be the first city of its size to have a socialist to fill the most important office within its confines. Emil Seidel, socialist candidate, appears a strong favorite. J. Schoenecker, now democratic city treasurer, seeks the mayoralty on that ticket, but though he has the city hall backing his chances are not considered any too good. Dr. Beffel. the republican party nominee seems to have gained support within the past few days and wiseacres predict the fight is to be between Dr. Beffel and Seidel.

DEVELOPMENTS OF IMPORTANT

Nature Are Expected at Meeting of Illinois Miners Today. STRIKERS' WANT ADVANCE DECLARE THAT THEY MUST HAVE FIVE CENTS MORE ON THE TON ON SCREENED COALWATCHED WITH INTEREST. (American News Service) Chicago, April 5. Important developments are awaited from the meeting of the executive board of the Illinois Miners, which is meeting at Springfield today to consider matters which have developed 1ft connection .with the Btrike within the last twenty-four hours. Among the matters to be taken up will be the -granting of permis sion to engineers and other workmen necessary to remain at work to protect the mines. There seems to be a general feeling of lassitude existant in some quarters of the coal strike district. In the large cities and especially so in this city, there is an air of indifference concerning the outcome of the conferences as it is expected on all sides that the miners will return to work May 1. Pleasant weather, resulting In a use of less coal, has also buoyed this feeling, but the result of the conferences will show whether this is confidence or carelessness. Many of the larger firms are continuing to keep their yards well filed with coal. The conference in Chicago is set for April 11 at which the question of wag es will be goine into thoroughly. The Indiana miners and operators will meet in Joint conference at Terre Haute tomorrow. The miners have prepared a scale which they will submit. The miners ask an advance of five cents a ton on screened coal which tbfey believe the operators will allow. There appears to be little change in the situation reported from any of the other districts .except Colorado, where the operators refuse any advance and announce that they will open the mines with non-union miners. E Drys of Illinois Select This Means Instead of Ballot , " For Results. TEMPERANCE, STATE ISSUE (American News Service) Chicago, April 5. Saloons In Illinois have a host of mighty foes today in their battle for existence in 2-tO cities and towns in the state as a result of the determination of women through' out the state to attend devotional exercises and ask for divine intervention to end the existence of the saloon, rath er than rely upon the ability of the ballot to bring about the desired result. The, entire state practically is torn by the wet and dry issues wherever elections are being held. This city is without any such inssue but the anti-saloon forces are against annexing Oak Park and Morgan. Each district covers a large area and is opposed to the saloons. The chief con cern of this city is the election of Al dermen. In 101 cities and towns where elec tions are being held the dry and wet question is a new one. The other 139 are dry, but the saloon forces are wag' ing a fierce battle to overcome what they call stubbornness and re-establish their saloons. WIRE FLASHES! CHAUFFEURS ON STRIKE.
