TAccARr INsuREs US INDIANA

The Democratic National committee
has made no mistake in selecting for
its chairman the Hon. Thomas Taggart
of Indiana. Mr.. Taggart is a man born
to success. Ia politics as in business
he knows just what to do, how to or
ganize and how to get the best results
from the forces and resources at his
command. The Eastern demand for
an Eastern man to head the committee
was ius1stent and strong, but the more
the matter has been considered by
Judge Parker and his Eastern advisers,
the more it became apparent that the
chairman should come from the Middle
West.
There is nothing IN the selection of
Mr.. Taggart that will preclude the man
agement of the campaign in the East
ern States by Eastern men, but we be-
lieve it wonld have been unfortunate
for the~party's welfare in the West to
have confded the management of the
Western situation to Eastern hands.
Mr.. Taggart knows the Western peo-
pie and understands how to reach
them. He knows the Influences to
which they are susceptible and is a
past master in getting such influences
active. The middle West is no less a
battle-ground than the East. Even If
we get all in the East we hope to get,
we must yet capture some of the West
ern States IN order to insure victory,
and Indiana is the State which gives
greater promise of coming to the dem
ocrat1c standard.
Already the Central committee of
Indiana is receiving thousands of let
tiers from the gold democrats announc.
ing that they have returned to the par
ty, and when these are back it requires
only fair portion Of the independent
vote to land the State squarely in the
democratic column.
The Republicans estimate that 25,-
600 Indiana gold Democrats voted for
Mckinley in 1896 and 10000 in 1900.
With Taggart directing the campaign
in general, the promises for victory
are radiant. The great movement of
gold Democrats and independents to
Parker IN the East will be accompani-
ed noWby a similar movement IN the
West. Admitting the technical ad>
vantages which the Republicans have
because of their entertainment in pow
er, they are not proof against great
tital wave and that is what is indicated
at this stage of the campaign.
