HEARST AND PARKER
FIRST CLASH MAY BE EXPECTED

Advices from Indiana say that the first
notable clash between the Hearst and Par
ker presidential booms may be looked for
in that state. Indeed, Indiana is probably
the first state in which the Parker boom
takes on the aspect of an organized move
ment. Mr.. Thomas Taggart, prospective
mittee, is backing the Parker campaign
and organizing the state.
Started to Capture the State.
1t is said in explanation that the Hearst
boomers started in little while ago to
capture Indiana, horse, foot and dragoon.
Abandoning the policy pursued in other
states of picking up isolated district dele
gauons they concluded to make try for
the entire state delegation. instructed for
Hearst. The effect upon other states of a
complete Hearst victory In Indiana was
adjudged, it is said, to be worth the effort.
The Hearst movement contemplated the
annihilation of Mr.. Thomas Taggart, pres
ent democratic boss of the state. Hearst
headquarters were opened in indianapolis
and complete state organization and ticket
outlined.
Taggart Supports Parker.
Mr.. Taggart, it is said, thereupon quick
stepped to New York to get in touch with
the Parker boom, found there was some
thing doing in practical way. and went
back to Indiana prepared to fight Hearst
with Parker. And now they are at it,

A MILITANT PARSON.



When the settlements on the Forked
Deer river were new and western Ten
nessee was still Chickasaw country all
attempts TO start religious services
were for a long time broken up by a
gang Of young outlaws who drove the
ministers away. At last the Rev. Ar
thur Davis. a muscular Christian. came.
They had given him notice that no
Methodist parsOn should ever preach
on Lower FOrked Deer. Mr.. Davis
went To the forbidden ground and
preached 20 a large audience. When
the service WAS over he stepped out in
10 the grove which surrounded the log
church and. taking of his coat and
collar. placed them on stump. The
outlaws had gathered on one side. the
church people on the other. Turning
10 one OF the church people, Mr.. Da-
Wis gave him a message for his wife
and then. facing the outlaws. demand
Ell that they select their champion.
You said I should not preach" he
said, but 1 have preached. You say
l shall not preach again. Well. / say
/ shall unless you kill me now. Come

Ii is wonderful enough that infants
