similar occasion or course. the time was not pro-
piiicus. The holiday weeks not the time for
entertainments of this character. but the fact was

MR.. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
HE WILL NOT BE A CANDIDATE FOR

Controller johnson Wants to Be

The Office Too Trying.

Mayor Taggart told the Journal yesterday
election.
''Will you be a candidate for renomina-
ton and reelection he was asked.
II hope not"
''Why?"
Il appreciate the honor that was con-
ferred upon me when L was elected mayor
of this city-it is an honor any man might
be proud of-but if any man thinks. he
would like to have the office. all / have to
say is, let him try it. 1t is the most diff
cult office in the State if man wants to
do right. He has on his shoulders the re-
sponsibility of the entire city government,
has to watch the financial department to
some extent, look after public improve
ments-has to know everything going on.
The office is certainly not "a snap. If any
man thinks so. let him try it while
Would you accept the office under any
iderations-supposing it were forced on
you, for instance?"
That's too far ahead to talk about. ]

You know L was not "A candidate before.
did not want the nomination.
T.. NJ. Johnson, appointed by Mayor Tag
CART TO administer the financial affairs OF
the city. has been frequently spoken of as
a possible candidate. He has been init
mately associated with the mayor for a
number of years, and if nominated would
be regarded as the administration candi-
date.
You can count me out of it, said Mr.
Johnson yesterday. Il have no ambitions
in that direction. L know my own capa bill
ties better than those of my friends who
have mentioned me for the office. My edu-
cation has been along different lines. Bank
ing or a place w4th some trust company
would suit me better. In the office of con-
troller | have learned enough about the Of
flee of mayor to know that ii is a thank
less position. 1t is an honor to be mayor
of indianapolis; any man might be glad
to have it. but do not want it.
Mr.. Johnson spoke of some of the per-
picking responsibilities the chief executive
has TO shoulder.
Here's this park question: said he. II
is right before us and we've got to face IL
1t will fall on me to have something to
say 1t is a difficult question. L have
talked with men on both sides of 1t. Iou
have no idea how their views conflict. The
great trouble is TO decide just what IS the
best thing for the people of 3ne city.
am going to go slow about il. Ext am get
ting away from the point. That Is just enc
of the many things mayor mas TO dea
with"
Mr. johnson was not surprised at the an
nouncement of the mayors intentions. He
said there is nothing in the office that
would attract Mayor Taggart as he gives
the salary away in charity and 1T brings
nothing but worry and vexation.

dAGGARD'S THREE PAGES.
Appoints Deserving and Needy Boys
to the Positions.

In appointing his three pages, Lieutenant
Governor Haggard has not had an eye sim
gle TO political influence. but has made
three deserving homes happy. All of
his appointees are boys from families which
very much need the assistance that the po-
sition will give financially. In one case es-
pecially is this true. This is in the appoint
ment of boy named Carter. He Is a
bright little fellow who has been dependent
upon the work of a widowed mother, who
has striven hard To provide for three chill
dren on the salary attached TO minor
clerkship She is n frail little creature who
has the appearance bf being unable TO bear
the strain of supporting a family. but the
appearance of her children indicates that

best education that her limited means will
