of Thomas Taggart. especially since he
has been elected national chairman.
Taggart desires Kern to accept, and
members of the Democratic state COM
mittee, most of whom are in sympathy
with Taggart, are saying that Kern
should be nominated

when told Of the talk that his friends
are making in his behalf Every
thing will work out all right"
