THE sLIsHrMe or rAeeARr

THE SIGHTING OF TAGSART.
It will require an open and definite
statement from Colonel Bryan OF HE
running mste, J.. Worth Kern of In
diana, 70 convince the public that they
were not guilty OF gross ingratitude
when they drew the line between poll
tics and sociability at indianapolis by
welcoming Tom Taggart as the pre-
liminary presiding oficer at the Kern
notification ceremonies and then re
fusing him a plate at the dinner given
at the Indianapolis Country club by
Mr.. n Mrs. Kern in honor of Mr..
Bryan and other distinguished visitors.
According to the undisputed facts
Mr.. Taggart, as late chairman Of the
democratic national committee, called
the meeting to order and submitted
the gavel to Chairman Mack. Mr..
Taggart was on the spot extending the
glad hand n the winning smile to
distinguished guests. He conferred
with Mr.. Bryan and acted as a sort of
chief usher and chaperone to Mr.. Kern,

work and when the reward was due in
the form of a chair at the banquet
board, where the really select folks of
Indiana we're gathered, Mr.. Taggart
found he would have to wait for the
second table or go hungry. Refusing
to do either, he went to his avn hotel
to get something to eat.
Mr.. Taggart is a friend of both Mr.,
Bryan and Mr.. Kern. He met Mr..
Bryan at Chicago and held a long on
ference with him on the political stu
alton. He had worked as n of Mr..
Bryan's lieutenants at Denver and had
real chummy relations with Brother
in-Law" Allen and Mayor Jim in get
ting campaign funds for use in Mr..
Bryan's behalf in Nebraska in 1904.
He. has been very close to Mr.. Bryan
In many ways. He has been enter
tanned at Mr.. Bryan's home at Fair
view and could not possibly be person
ally Objectionable as a dinner guest.
Mr.. Taggart is a good dresser. carries
himself with quiet and unassuming
grace, speaks in low, well-modulated
tones, does not shy at finger bowls or
put cream in his bouillon and, in fact,
conforms to all the haute monde usages
requisite when Hoosiers meet at the
banquet table.
The sighting of. Taggart by Mr..
Kern is still more d~inicult to under
stand because Mr.. Taggart practically
forced the nomination of Kern at Den
yer. 1t is a matter of Indiana history
that they have been close personal
friends. Mr.. Kern has been the per-
sonal attorney of Mr.. Taggart, who, as
the owner and operator of a gambling
enterprise at French Lick Syringe
which has been distasteful to the In
diana people, has had a very consid-
cradle business with the courts and
Mr.. Kern has pulled him through every
time. 1t is possible, of course, that
Mr.. Kern felt that as a host he was
charged with entertainment of guests
who have nothing in common with the
frailties and wickedness of mankind
and tina. Mr.. Taggart would shine
more at a roulette table than at a ban
quet. At the best It must be apparent
that Mr.. Kern and Mr.. Bryan, as candi-
dates, are very different persons from
Bryan and Kern as society bright
lights. o
