some men deal with woman Of whom
they have tired. They don't dismiss
her perenlptorily, and yet all their ac-
tons go to show that they wish she
were out of the way.
The Indiana men have not been able
to get any satisfaction out Of either
Sheehan or Hill since reaching st:
Louis. The situation finally became
SO strained that the Indiana delegation
at caucus held yesterday appointed
a committee of three to wait on Hill
and Sheehan and feel them out as to
Taggart.
No Pledge for Taggart.
All that the committee got was
red-hot jolly. Many pleasant words
were spoken Of Taggart and the work
he did in keeping Indiana from going
to Hearst, but never word was said
about making him national chair
man in case Parker should be
nominated. Indeed, the New Workers
refused to discuss this matter at all,
to- be national chairman would
come up later, after the presidential
nomination had been settled. There
was not time to look into it at pres
ent.
All of which leads the Indiana men
to believe that it is the plan of the
Parker managers to select German or
some Tammanyite for national chair
| man. This may be the reward Cor
man is to receive for staying away
from the national convention.
But what is to be done for Indiana?

will not do just yet to count too
heavily on 1t.
Turner is fortunate in. having for

Turner will be nominated by Conrad

roll, will yield to Washington. in or

The chief opposition to Turne
comes from certain conservatives wht
