TAGGART DENIES
GAMBLING STORY

NEW YORK. July 29.-Thomas Tag
gsrt. chairman OF the Democratic Ma
uonal Committee. said in response to
the assertion that he is concerned with
running a gambling establishment at
French Lick Springs:
Il am president of the French Lick
Springs Hotel Company. a corporation
OF which the MOnon Railroad is the
principal bOndhOlder. The lessee of the
Casino leases his property from the cor
poration, but have not a dollar of In
terest in his enterprise and never had
a dollars interest in any gambling en-
terprlse In my life.
Mr.. Taggart had a conference with
William +. Sheehan and August Bel
mont regarding the composition Of the
National Executive Committee, OF which
Mr.. Sheehan is TO be the head.
Names Submitted.
Several names were considered, and it
Is probable that the appointment of the
committee will not long be delayed. 1t
was decided TO engage headquarters for
the national committee in the immedi-
ate vicinity of the Hoffman House. Nor
man T. Mack is examining buildings
available for the purpose. but no deci-
sion has been reached.
Mr.. Taggart will go to Indianapolis

The Race Question.

For reasons Of weight" continued
Mr. Thompson. Il do not care to dis
cuss IN detail the irritating features Of
the so-called race question. l -an only
say that under a Republican Administra-
ton in Alabama there would be no rea-
son to fear either racial social equality
nor political control by the negro. II
is a generally accepted fact that. where
whites and negroes live in large num-
Der side by side the latter Will rule as
indeed they should. So far as ! can
remember, the negroes have manifested
no desire for political control, and they
have shown a strong disposition to fol-
low white leadership. But for the buga-
boo OF racial social equality and negro
denomination, Alabama would be over
whelmingly Republican

Tariff No Hobby.

The people of Alabama have no
sympathy with the tariff plank IN the
Democratic platform. They do not be-
lieve that protection IS robbery They
know that protection is necessary to
build up and 10 safeguard the manu-
featuring interests Of the State, and
they viii vote accordingly"
DO you think the so-called negro
plank I'm the Republican platform Will
strengthen the Republican party in
Alabama" was asked.
There is no negro plank in the plat
form. The word negro is not IN the
platform and the word south is not
In the plank TO which you refer. II Is
generally believed that the race ques-
ton las been elevated from the realm
Of practical political discussion. The
Republican party believes, however.
that the rights of all American citi-
ZeEs should be safeguarded under the
constitutions OF the respective States
and under the Federal Constitution.
The objection in Alabama is not so
much to the State constitution itself,
but rather TO the Determinations AMI
