Lake county democrats have learned
that National Democratic chairman
Thos. Taggart is laying his plans to
defeat the wishes of the majority of
the democrats of the state and secure
the defeat Of William jennings Bryan

shell, is the latest plant of Taggart's
Tammany.
Many stories are now coming from
Indianapolis concerning the latest
moves of National Democratic chairman
Thomas Taggart's new Tammany Hall
which has been instituted down there,
the story of the inception of which was
first told in Truth more than a week
ago. Bernard Korbly, Taggart's bench
man, district chairman for the seventh
has called a convention to nominate a
candidate for congress without even
consulting William Fogarty, the demo-
cratic chairman of Marion county
Korbly, acting under instructions from
Taggart, has arbitrarily called the con-
vention to meet Friday and the pur-
pose is to nominate Korblys brother
| Charles, for congress against the
wishes of at least two-thirds of the
democratic voters of Marion county.

Gary Saloonkeepers Retain
Three Additional Coun-

Despite the big convention that was
on in Gary today. the saloons and brew
cry interests took up the fight that was
nearer home the saving of their sa-
looms against the remonstrance that
the 'drys" of Calumet township have
put through and yesterday filed in the
Office Of the county auditor, pending
the meeting Of the commissioners next
Monday.
The remonstrance contains 229
names, or So more than is required

Iremonstrance can be successfully com
batted by next Monday and already tho

success in getting Withdrawals.

Will Prevent Lawlessness.

Union City, Tenn, Oct. 21.-Gov.
Patterson, who arrived here last
night, began early today to direct op-
erations towards apprehension Of
those concerned in the murder of
Capt. Rankin at Reel Foot lake. One
hundred and fifty militiamen, under
command OF Col. w. C. Tatom, ar
rived today and were distributed
throughout the district. Posses start
ed from this city to search for Col.
Taylor.
Gov. Patterson gave out the follow
in statement today before it was
learned that Col. Taylor had not been
killed:
II have offered the largest reward
the law will permit for the arrest and
conviction OF the assailants and have
ordered out troops. I have believed
that the militry should be the last
resort Of a State governed by law,
but the time has now come when it is
my duty as governor to use all the
power at my command to restore or
der In the region where assassina-
tions have occurred and to assist the
courts in the apprehension and pun
ishment Of the perpetrators. It must
be taken by all as a purpose deliber-
ately formed and I hope no man or
body Of men anywhere in the State
will fail to understand it. We have
had enough Of lawless acts, Of threats,
intimidation and other methods of
terrorizing citizens and communities.
This should be stopped and must be
stopped, or the consequences will have
to be accepted. For the present
have abandoned the campaign for the
governorship. believing the upholding
OF law and order in our State is OF
more Importance that political dis
cussions.''
