Two Men Now Leading for the
National Democratic Com.

NEITHER Is LIKELY TO ACCEPT
But the New Yorkers Don't Mention
Taggart, of Indiana.

Iowa Democrats for Parker
Missouri Democrats
Meet.

Esopus, n. Y, July 20. - United
States Serator Arthur Pue German, Of
Maryland, who has been asked to be-
come chairman of the Democratic ma
tonal committee, was invited by Judge
Parker to come 10 Rosemount today
with ex-senator Davis, the vice pres1-
Dental candidate, and it was taken for
granted that he would come The fol-
lowing telegram from him, dated New
York, was given out here later: Re
gret that it will be impossible for me
to accompany Senator Davis tomor-
row. Will afford me pleasure later
on"
Where Does Taggart Come In?
The request to German to become
the national chairman was the result
of the meeting of leaders at New York
Monday. 1t is said that he has taken
the matter under consideration, with
great reluctance, and it seems certain
that he will decline. Sheehan is the
next choice, and he is likely to, de-
cline also, his health not being robust.
Should neither German nor Sheehan
accept the craftsmanship opinion is un-
certain as to who may be chosen.
Judge Parker has declined to say who
should be the chairman, preferring to
leave the matter with his advisers and
the national committee. 1t was re-
ported that National Committeeman
Taggart was expected in New York to-
day, but nothing definite could be
learned here, and apparently there is
no present expectation of his coming
to Rosemount.
Kern Hands One to New York.
New York, July 20.-John w. Kern,
of Indiana. in discussing the question
Of the craftsmanship of the national
committee, declared that he was
strongly in favor of Thomas Taggart.
Kern said he had not seen any change
in the situation since the meeting Of
the committee at st. Louis. Kern
was asked if he Thought the repeated
conferences were due to opposition on
the part Of Judge Parker's friends to
the candidacy of Taggart for national
chairman. He said in reply: Il don't
know What New York state wants
is past understanding" He declined
to say what effect Taggart's rejection
would have on the Indiana vote.

St Paul, July 19.-The day at the
Swift packing plant in South st. Paul
was marked by an Intellectual attempt
to get 200 additional laborers into the
yards, and consequent abandonment
of the situation by Sheriff Grisim, of
Dakota county, upon whom the Swift
managers have relied for protection up
to the present time. 1t was evident
early in the day that the strikers were
in control. Several conferences were
held during the day in the Office of
Governor Van SAINT Delegations of
business men from st. Paul and South
ST. Paul called on the governor and
tried to impress him with the urgent
need of state interference.
Van SAINT Suggests the Courts.
He held to his determination not to
interfere until every other means has
been utilized to secure order, and in
timated that an appeal to the courts
was the means yet untried. The Off
cials of the Swift company seem in
disposed to go into court, and as far
as can be learned no steps have been
taken to enjoin the strikers from in
terfering with the business of the
Swift plant. Superintendent Turns. of
Swift & Co., said that a number of
the expert butchers returned to work
when the vigilance of the pickets re-
laxed. He interpreted this fact tOmean
a speedy weakening of the strike, and
is confident that he will have many
additional recruits from the strikers
ranks by tonight.

WHEN STAMPS WE'RE NEW.
Trouble In Getting People to stick
Them on the Envelope.

when postage stamps first came in

"the public didn't know how to handle
them. You remember how, when tea
and coffee first appeared among us, the
people fried the tea leaves and the cOf-
fee berries and served them with salt
and pepper? Well, the people treated
their stamps as absurdly in 1854.
'Some folks would put the stamps in
side their letters, out of sight. Here
is the official notice that we issued. to
stop thai practice"
The clerk took from the drawer an
aged bulletin that said:
'"The stamps upon all letteNs and
packages must be affixed on the out
side thereof and above the address
thereon"
He put back this bulletin and drew
forth another one.
"People would pin the stamps on
their letters instead of cumming Them"
he said, land when they did gum them
they would not do it right; hence this
second bulletin" and he read:
"'PersOns posting letters should af
fix the requisite number of stamps pre-
viOus to depOsiting them in the letter
receivers, as when posted in a damp
state the stamps are liable to rub OF
and thereby cause the letters to be
treated as unpaid. Do not pin ON the
stamps

didn't understand the simple matter of
sticking a postage stamp on a letter.
So we got out a third bulletin"

letters, said:
''The simplest and most effectual
method of causing stamps to adhere
firmly is first to mosten we'll the out
side of the stamps and afterward the
gummed side slightly, taki1s care not
