MOORE STRIKES BACK
HE Is ANTI-RING DEMOCRATIC CAN
DIDATE FOR MAYOR.
says Tnggart Assured Him He Would
Not Make the Race-Other
Political News.

W. f. Moore, Democratic candidate for
mayor. said. yesterday. that he would file
his petition for a place on the ticket with
Chairman Tanning to-day at noon, and
Will at once form a precinct organization
i'm every ward in the city. The fact that
Mr.. Taggart may or may not be a candi-
date will not deter Mr.. Moore from making
a fight for the nomination. He said yester-
day that while ne did not wish to pose as
an anti-Taggart candidate. yet he be-
lieved he had as much right to make the
race as any other Democrat.
MIR. Tanning says shat / haven't a right
to run. said Mr.. Moore. but what he
says makes very little difference to me. If
any honest Democrat who has nothing to
gain by having MIR. Taggart nominated will
come to me and show me wherein l have
not the right 10 make this race L will con-
sent to pull off the ticket
When asked what he had to say with
reference to the Democratic city commit
tee endeavoring to persuade Mr.. Taggart to
be "A candidate, Mr.. Moore said that while
il did not speak much for the intelligence
of the committee. yet he took 1t for granted
that the whole thing had emanated from
Chairman Tanning. "And you can't blame
flaming so much said Mr.. Moore, when
y 1OAlN ~ tARAN NH0 A11h AAAt a ohN
other man than Taggart is nominated and
elected. il will mean hat Tanning and lots
of others VIII have to step down and out.
\ Democrat who was not a Taggart man
could not very well reappOfnt some OF those
who are now in office. OF course, Mr.. Fan
ming has nothing TO lose al present except
the craftsmanship of the city committee"
TAGGART'S ASSURANCE.
Mr.. Moore said that he had Mr.. Tag
CARTS personal assurance that he would
not be a candidate and that he believed
the man he would nave TO beat for the
nomination would be Joseph E. Bell. He
said he did not think Bell was particularly
strong and believed that he would succeed
In defeating him for the nomination. Moore
had always been friendly and cordial and
said that he did not believe Taggart would
oppose his nomination.
Mayor Taggart is head and shoulders
above Tanning and others of that crowd ="
said Mr.. Moore, 'and is fair enough to
want other Democrats to have a chance.
If he is "A candidate Ii will be because he is
forced into it by those who are selfish
enough to look out for their own interests
and who, in most instances, care nothing
for his. L know il to be a fact that two of
the four men who went down TO beg Mr..
Taggart TO be a candidate are not friendly
To him. but they want mis- help I'm securing
strange to relate, both men want the
nomination for the same office"
1t is claimed by Moore's friends that he
will have a large following, not only on the
South Side, where he is we'll known, but on
the North Side. where, ii is said, there are
for any man not connected with the Tag
gart machine.

Mason ]. Osgood was the owner of 249

administrator ~disregarded the decree Of
the court and conspired with the other
defendants TO deprive him of his ninety
nine shares of stock and accomplish his
financial ruin.
Root further alleges that the suit for re-
ceiver against the Sheridan brick works
brought by the Marion Trust Company,
as administratOr of the estate of Mason

ing him of his rights. He says his salary
as manager Of the Sheridan brick works

sell his ninety-nine shares of stock at a
great sacrifice owing to the Unlawful acts

In demanding the $4,000 damages Root
claims he was deprived of his ninety-nine
shares of stock, his property rights were
assassinated. his business and occupation
