MARKET MASTER PLUM
MANY ARE SEEKING FOR IT
One Applicant Is Told by Mayor Elect
SchilIinger That His Name Will Be
Filed Along with the Fifty-Three
Others.

What seems to be one Of the most
sought after "plums" that the incom-
ing Democratic municipal administra
ton has to offer, is the position of
market master. The following story
in connection with this is going the
rounds. A few days ago man asked
Market Master Oscar Mashmeyer
who is a Republican, if he intended
to apply to Mayor-elect Schillinger
for retention in office. Mashmeyer
stated that he would not as he knew
it would do him no good. We'll"
said the man, "in that case I'll just
put in my application" A few days
later Mashmeyer met the same man
on the street and asked him if he had
made his application. Yes, l made
it all right replied the applicant.
and when DR.. Schillinger took it he
said, I'll just file this away with the
other fifty-three applications have re-
ceived for the same job"

TOM TAGGART'S METHODS
SOME OF THE BIG LEADERS
DOUBT THE ABILITY OF THE
INDIANIAN TO NAME PROPER
COMMITTEE.
Publishers PressJ


Washington, May 23.-The manag-
ers of the Democratic congressional
committee still regard with consider
able doubt the appointment by Thomas
Taggart, Democratic national chair
man, of subcommittee of the nation
al committee to cooperate with the
congressional committee. The subcom-
mittee, named by Mr.. Taggart on May
4, consistes of j. M. Guffey, Pennsyl-
vania; r. M. Johnson, Texas; ]. Tay-
lor Ellison, Virginia; Urey Woodson,
Kentucky; Roger Sullivan, Illinois,;
Timothy G. Ryan, Wisconsin and John
j. McGaw, West Virginia. 1t is half
way feared that the willy national
chairman Is trying to exert sphere
of info ence" over the congre ssional
committee for the purpose, If possible
of converting it into an anti-Hearst or
ganization or, at least, of multiplying
whatever influence Mr.. Hearst may
have with the congressional manage
ment. The officials of the congression-
al committee declare that they are go
ing to stay in the middle of the road
and play no favorites as far as presi.
dental possibilities are concerned.
They insist that Mr.. Taggart was not
asked to appoint his subcommittee;
that he did so gratuitously and that
its services will be accepted only with
the understanding that it to confine
its activities within the proper limits
of an assisting organization without
attempting to direct the management
of the congressional committee 1t is
pointed out that Mr.. Taggart's COM
mittee can find its greatest opportun-
ity for usefulness in raising money
with which to finance the congression-
al campaign.
The States where the Democratic
leaders expect to force the fight are
Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Wisconsin, Nebraska, Kansas, Mis-
souri, and Iowa. In the New England
and some of the other Eastern States
reciprocity will be the issue upon
which the Democrats will chiefly rely.
but their main issue, which will be put
forward in all of the Central and West
ern States, is tariff revision. In the

tending west to Missouri they will

paign. They will not send out as
much literature as heretofore, as ex-
perience has proved that speeches cir
culated in pamphlet form several
months after they have been deliver
ed are not very attractive reading for
the ordinary voter. They will depend
more than heretofore upon the power
or the daily press. Members of Con-
gress and those who aspire to be mem
bers will do the prinrind part of the

THE cITYs GUESTS.

4 Three hundred or more delegates,
coming from many states compose
the body known as the General AS
Isembly of the United Presbyterian
church of North America which is
now in session in Richmond. 1t is
a fine and intelligent body of men.
and even the first session last night
impressed one with the fact that the
United Presbyterian church is one of
the progressive denominations in the
Christian world. Though smaller nu-
mercially than some others of the
greater Christian bodies, it is plain
from even a hasty review of the work
accomplished in the past decade or
so, that no other is displaying more
progressive spirit, more sincerity and
earnestness of purpose than the Unit
ed Presbyterian church. In foreign
missions the church has done espec-
tally great work in Egypt and India,
both of these missions not long since
having passed the semi-centennial
mark. The gathering of a body of
such men in Richmond confers an hon.
or on the city. The Assembly's de-
alterations may not be of direct inter
est to but comparatively few Of the
people, but the influence in general
way upon a community by the pres
ence of energetic Christian men, is
beneficial in many ways. The Mems
Movement, comparatively new in the
affairs of the United Presbyterian
church, and which has for it's purpose
the enlistment of all male members in
the active work OF the church, is GER
itainly most commendable undertake.
ling. In these days of strenuous bust
ness life, it is apparent in a majority
of churches that the men, as a rule
take comparatively little active part
in the general affairs of the church
The passive interest is often not fully
realized by the non-active church man
himself. He attends church with
commendable regularity, he contri-
butes with the same regularity, but
when he stops to question himself
thoroughly he finds that he
does not enter into the
real spirit of Christian work
as he might do and as he really would
like to do. Not even the most exact.
ing business cares should claim all of
mans influence in behalf of Christian
Fellowship, and the Mems League of

SO that even the busiest of men can
become an important factor in the
great work of spreading the Gospel of
Jesus Christ.

Washington dispatches state that
the Democrats are going to wage a
desperate campaign in an effort to re-
gain many of the congressional dis.
tricts they lost two years ago. If the
campaign now being waged by Tom
Taggart to prevent any Democratic
"house-cleaning" in Indiana is an en-
ample of the kind of campaign the
Democrats are going to conduct, their
campaign will indeed be desperate
and losing one.
