DR.. Won Velsen, a noted German

and took the matter under advisement.
An appeal was then filed in a higher

It has been customary to re-elect the
United States senator as long as his

might prevail in this case. This would
mean the elimination of Taggart and
the reelection OF Shively. If Taggart

Taggart has long been a reaction

unless the present law regarding the

VIII be the first vacancy in the office Of
senator in Indiana.
1t is presumed that Shively viii be a
candidate TO succeed himself and II
Taggart wants to be senator al that
time he viii have TO beat Shively to get
the place How Taggart could go into
race against Shively is difficult TO
figure out. since ShiveIy and Taggart
have always been linked UP to gether
in politics and have played the game
together.
Senator Kern's term Will not expire
until two years after Shivelyfs and
IL is safe to assume that he will be a
candidate to succeed himself It is not
believed here that Taggart would run
against Kern for the place because OF
their life long friendship. although
Kern and aTggart have not played poll
tics together as strongly as have Tag
CART and Shively.
However. by the time of the expira-
ton of the term of Shively there MAY
be an entirely different system for the
election Of United States senators, fol
