trio current to his muscles on the
paralyzed side are beginning to tell
in the way of general Improvement Of
his condition"

PEACE DOVE HOVERS
OVER CONVENTION
Feeling of Cancellation Between
Taggart and Marshall Forces
in Indiana.

INDIANAPOLIS. IND, April 2s.--
With the reactionary forces under
Thomas Taggart in control OF the ma
chinery, the Democratic state Conven-
ton when 1t reassembled to-day was
anticipating lively struggle over the
adoption OF the platform and the dis
position OF the Marshall suggestion
that the convention place itself on re-
cord on the party candidate for United
States senator to oppose Mr.. Bever-
idge.
Both factions. although In q fight
ing mood. were careful to-day to abb
stain from any action that might re-
suit In bitterness that might be carried
from the convention. The Taggart
men now have more admiration for
Governor Marshall than previously.
The fact that he refrained, az tempo
rary chairman. from making his sena-
torial endorsement scheme the key
note of his speech. was gratefully re-
ferred to by the Taggart element to-
day, who admitted the governors for
bearance was unexpected and pleasing.
This had much to do with encour-
aging the feeling OF Cancellation Ia EVIL
dence at to-day's sesaion OF the con-
vention.

Some paid managers of the great Labor
Trust do not seem satisfied to rest on their
past record OF tyrannies to their own mem
bers, to other working men, and to the pub
lie at large, but they seek to add to their
long list of villainous acts.
On Sunday January end, 1910, The Chi
cago Federation Of Labor allowed to pass
to the press a statement that three carloads
of empty peanut shucks were found in
railroad wreck and were consigned to our
Company.
That statement was a wilful, malicious
lie made from whole cloth.
1t was inspired by the usual hate for
everyone not under the yoke of the Labor
Trust.
