INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July IL
Thomas Taggart arrived from ST. Louis
today:
II am perfectly satisfied with the re-
suit of the national committee meet
ing, he said. But for my own action
the committee would have elected me
chairman at yesterdays meeting. I
am satisfied that there is no intention
on the part of Sheehan and the other
Eastern men to deal unfairly and am
satisfied that the action of the conven--
ton just before it adjourned was not
intended to affect me-
Mr.. Taggart said the first meeting of
the committee will be fixed after the
consultation with Judge Parker. It is
proposed. to hold it at the time Parker

In the matter of the selection of the
chairman of the national Democratic
committee there should be no room for
apprehension that the choice will not

but that the committee will be guided
in its action by Judge Parker's express
sion on the subject. This is the first
time in many years, perhaps ever, that
the chairman of the national commit
tee has not been chosen at the meet
ing of the committee Immediately after
the adjournment of the national con-

Taggart, of Indiana, be chairman, and
majority of the committee favored
him. If it should develop that Judge
Parker does not wish Mr.. Taggart, but
prefers some one else, 1t goes without
saying that the committee will be gov
erned accordingly. If Judge Parker
prefers another to Mr.. Taggart, the
latter will promptly withdraw his name
from the consideration of the commit.
