TAGGART IS
SENATORIAL
CANDIDATE
Foxy Democratic Leader in
Indiana Canvassing State
Leaders to Find Out How
He Stands, and Finds His
Chances Are Good. s.
TIMES BUREAU,
AT STATE CAPITAL.

indianapolis, Ind, April 1s.-Tom
Taggart is a candidate for United
States Senator. This much can be stat
ed as a certainty, for he has been can
vassing the leading Democrats OF the
state in the last few weeks in an effort
10 fnd out how they would take to him
as candidate and whether they would
be for him. If he does not make pub
lie announcement that he is a candi-
date II will be because he has found
that the party will not stand for him.
Calls On Leaders.
- 1t is known that Taggart has called
on several of the leaders and asked
them whether they would be for him
or against him in case he should make
his announcement Some of these men
are men that one would naturally ex-
pect to see lined up behind him for aIy-
thing he might want. and the mere fact
that he has adopted this plan has
caused some people to suspect that
Taggart is not as sure of his ground
now as he has been at times in the
past 1t would. have been unusual in
the past to see Taggart going around
among the Democrats of the state ask
ing them what they thought of any
thing which he wished to do in the
party. His plan has always been to
go ahead and do whatever he pleased
and then ask the Democrats -afterward
how they liked it. If they liked-all
right; If they did not like it-well, then
he was sorry
Chances Are Good.

cratic leaders whether they thought he
could be elected Senator In case o1

AUTO IS
WRECKED
LAST NIGHT
Attorney L. T. Bomberger
Escapes With His Life at
Holman Street Crossing,
After Collision With I.
III. Railroad Train.

A grade crossing collision between a
freight car and Attorney l. L. Bonn
berger's Lambert Touring car, where
the Erie railroad crosses Holman
street last night, nearly resulted in
fatal accident. An Investigation as to
the cause why the safety gates were
permitted to be up instead of down
will follow, this fact having been di-
rectly responsible for the collision. Mr..
Bomberger, who vas the sole occu-
pant of the machine at the time and
on his way to the Central Park auto
garage, escaped without injury person
ally. but his machine was considerably
damaged.
1t was about S:30 last night when the
machine was about to cross the first
of the series of tracks on Holman
street.
Gate Remains Up.
While approaching Mr.. Bomberger
heard the tower bell ring in warming
| and brought his machine to stop The
gates near which he stood remained up,
while the others FARTHER north went
| down. Under these circumstances he
| took it for granted NJ c. train
| was approaching and that there was no
danger on either the Monon or the Erie
tracks. He did not realize that an
Indiana Harbor Belt engine No. 4eoa
was quietly putting box car down on
him on the Erie tracks. The two green
lights on the box. owing to the noise
less motion. looked stationary and he
took them to be semaphore lights. The
gate nearest him was still up and the
noise of the aprr5aching car was
drowned .by thes ling of the tower
bell He sent his machine ahead tc
await the passing of the expected
Michigan Central train. and just ther
he noticed that his machine moved ir
| the shadow of a box car. which was
| bearing down on him. He put on the
brakes and jumped, but it was too late
! The freight car hurled his machine to g
| side, damaging the front part consid
erably. The occupant of the car wen

than by his own volition. although hi

Both the Peoples and Citi-

Qualify.

When certain West Hammond peo.
pie thought they had Martin Fin

eliminated from politics in the vill-
age across the line they were badly
mistaken.
Today he turned tables on his po-
litical enemies and the result is that
Finneran's ticket is the only one
that will be presented to the people
of West Hammond and he is sure of
election.
1t all came about through the neg-

promoting the other tickets in the field.
The law requires that the returns of
the primaries be canvassed by. the VIII
primaries, and the town trustees then
determine what tickets have been reg

TAFT HAS BEEN oRlENrALlzeD.

According to the Berlin Vorwaerts
the tr uble with President Taft Is
that he has been "Orientalized." The
article as translated and abbreviated
for the Literary Digest is as follows:
THE President of the United State
like the proconsuls of some other
great Powers, has become Orient
allied" The process is one to which
all great administrators. who have
served their country in tropical de-
Tendencies, are more or less liable.
William H. Taft was sent abroad
to subjugate dependency in Asiatic
waters. This he did with great abil-
ity and even greater success. But, in
the process, he necessarily derived
ideas of government that conflict
with western democratic theories of
popular sovereignty. He lost touch
with those democratic influences
which mold the statesman who repre-
sents the suffrage of his constitu-
ency. 1t would be unfair to Mr.. Taft
% hold him responsible for what has
happened to him. Other countries
have administrators who, returning
home, are unconsciously applying
orientalized politics to their domes-
lie problems:

ures there are Lord Curzon and Lord

Really what cinch the presidency
last March was for a man with the
legal ability of Taft after the way
had been SO we'll cleared for him by
his sturdy predecessor-if, .yes,IF, he
had had the backbone of great man
and the zeal of right in his soul. If he
had only started out insisting on the

he would have accomplished some.

have been reelected and the people
would have seen to it that he had a
congress by that time to support
him. Then more honest legislation
could be accomplished in year than
could be put through in eight years
under the present vacillating, compro
missing methods.
And even now If Taft should come
out squarely and show the people
that he intended right with no com
promise, right by fight, no conven

HOPING WITHOUT HOPE.

The conviction grows stronger e.
cry day, that those who are hopin
for better things from President Taft
are hoping without reason for their
hopes.
The testimony of CLAWS. one of
Pinchot's subordinates, before the
congressional committee shows that
Pallinger, while engaged in collect
ing money for Taft's campaign COM
mittee, urged CLAWS to let up on
his work against the coal
land grabbers and by so doing
give Ballinger chance to collect
campaign funds from these public en-
emies. And CLAWS says that he did
agree to discontinue his investiga-
tions until after the election. And
after the election Ballinger was made
Secretary of the Interior, position
which he used to drive CLAWS out
of the public service. 1t is conceded
we think that had it not been for
the sterling manhood of Pinchot and
few of his subordinates like CLAWS
the fraudulent claims to the vast
Alaska coal fields worth untold mil
lions. would have been clear listed
and turned over to the fraudulent
claimants,
Taft and Ballinger had their backs
conveniently turned while orders for
government patents went rapidly
forward and Taft has kicked out OF
office every man, SO far as we know
who was primarily responsible fol
preventing this gigantic theft. VIII

and tell how much these fraudulen,
