Thomas Taggart, of Indiana. was
chosen Chairman of the Democratic
National Committee at meeting held in
New York on Tuesday night. Taggart
wasn't the man wanted by the party
bosses, and although the vote was unan-
inious, it was not until after it was actn-
ally in progress that opposition to him was
Withdrawn. The strongest possible effort
was made to bring Senator German into
the field or to arrange combination that
would place some one besides Taggart at
the head of the committee, many expe-
dents being suggested in order to defeat
the Indianian, but in vain. A Treasurer
was not selected as it had not been decid-
ed who was to enjoy the privilege of hand
ing out the campaign Doodle. August Bel
mont, the Wall Streeter, is being urged to
look after the intoxicating department Of
the campaign.

A labor sympathizer in comparing the
two old parties in order to determine
which might be looked to to best further
his cause has arrived at the conclusion
that in the character of their bosses, in
the character of their platforms, SO far as
the workingman's interests are concern
ed, they are as alike as two peas.
Just as the republican national con.
vention lin 1900 said not one word in
rebuke of the atrocities committed
against labor by the democratic Governor
of Idaho, SO the democratic national con
vention this year has kept discreetly silent
about the still greater atrocities commit
ted by the republican Governor in
Colorado.
The two old parties equally deserve the
support of the capitalistic class. It would
make but little difference to the exploit.
ers which should win. They are equally
against every interest of the working
class.

,s. w. Foulk the democratic M

Jos. W. Foulk, the democratic nomi-
nee for Governor of Missouri, attained
bis prominence and owes his nomination
to his honesty in politics, which, by the
way, is more than can be said of a thous-
and and one men who are in the public
eye today, and who can ascribe their
power in politics to their shrewdness as
wirepullers and vote manipulators.
In September, 1900, Foulk was NOM
mated for Circuit Attorney of St. Louis
aud elected. Immediately on taking Of
fee he began the prosecution of election
crooks and repeaters, regardless of their
political utilization or the party in whose
interest the frauds were committed. Cor.
ruption had been so rampant in the city,
and so influential were the bene6ciaries
that no Circuit Attorney had dared to
assail them, but Foulk prosecuted and
convicted one after another and soon
made his name terror to all bribe-givers
and takers, reporters, and men of that
ilk. In recent speech Foulk delivered
himself of the following:
"If am made Governor, the FIRST leg
islator who takes a bride will find a
message to the General Assembly de-
handing his impeachment. The first
rumor of bribery around Jefferson City
will be answered by an investigation
thorough and complete, if have to con-
duct it myself. propose to stamp out
bribery from legislative halls. 1t can be
done, and will be done."
