NEARING THE CAMPAIGN.


for President the new Democratic
National committee has taken a
step that will commend it to the
voters. Ex-Mayor Thomas Tag
CART of Indianapolis, just chosen
chairman, has the talents Of a po-
litical general. After prolonged
comforting, the committeeman
have selected him with unanimity
and outlined plans for an aggres-
sive organization. Their action is
of the sort that bespeaks an intel
ligent and forceful struggle.
Locality is not matter Of mo-
ment, ordinarily, as to the Ma
tional chairman of either party. 1t
suffices if the man measure up to
the job. In the present instance,
however, it was peculiarly fitting
that the man should come from
the Middle West, and, above all,
from Indiana. Democrats of that
State had displayed considerable
sentiment about it. AS the cleo
toral vote there will very prOba-
bly, prove indispensable to a Ma
tional victory, it was necessary
the Indiana Democrats should
be recognized. Custom was de-
parted from by the st. Louis con-
vention, which took both the cam
didates on the National ticket
from the East, or practically so.
Although ex-senator Davis lives
on the other side of the noun
tains, West Virginia is an East
ern State. Even if most of the
heavy campaigning is to be along
the Atlantic, it would still be far
from equitable to deprive the
West of having some head men.
With the question of locality
waived, however, Chairman Tag
CART is still an admirable selection.
He is schooled in politics and re-
sourceful. Of engaging personal
ity, practical results are his aim.
He belongs to the same class of
politicians as the late Senator
Hanna, and goes into a fight to
win. Essentially a business man,
he applies business methods and
organizes along sound business
lines. But Chairman Taggart
takes up the reins with more act
ual experience than Mr.. Hanna
had in 1896. He was more than
political subaltern in the last sue
cessful campaign the Democrats
waged, having led in the furious
struggle his party made in 1892
to carry Indiana for Cleveland.
No National chairman can sue
coed without an array of capable
lieutenants. These Chairman Tag
CART will have from the start. He
is a pupil of Senator German, and
has the advantage of long ac-
quaintance with leading workers
in all sections. He will have CO.
operation on every hand. There
will be a strong executive commit
tee to act also in an advisory ca
pacity. Both parties have found
it wiser to specialize the manage
ment in New York State because
of the peculiar features of New
York campaigns. Thereby the
Democratic committeeman, in
their prospective program, have
fortified their chairman by assur-
ing4him the assistance of able New
York men.
The impetus to the party in an
efficient chairman and an efficient
organization will be marked as the
campaign progresses. Former Sen
ator Jones, who managed the two

THE NEWBERRY BAR.
Lawyers Of Newberry Ably Sustain
Her Reputation AS A Center
Of Legal Lore.

The following is taken from the
Spartanburg Journal:
A gentleman remarked this morn
ing that the criminal court now in
session in this city is being conducted
by a Newberry judge and New
berry solicitor. Special Judge WAL
ter H. Hunt is an able and distin-
guished member of the Newberry bar

known. a native of Newberry. al
though. of course, he is now and has
been for six or eight years citizen
of Spartanburg. and is. by the way.
one OF the best prosecuting officers
in the state. This led to a remark
about the legal and intellectual
strength OF the Newberry bar. With
out intending any discrimination
against those who are omitted.
