Murphy to Help.
1t is known that he will take a
personal interest in directing the
campaign for his election. Although
the bulk of the responsibility is in
the hands of new and younger men,
there is a belief in politics that these
men are not to disregard the advice
and counsel of old hands at the poll
tical game. Aside from state tickets,
it is pretty we'll understood that
when it comes to New York, any sug-
gestions from Charles F.. Murphy,
leader of Tammany Hall will be well
coined by Chairman McCombs. in
Illinois Roger Sullivan's advice will
be needed.
Thomas j. Taggart will be accept
ed as man with much special know
ledge of Indiana. and wherever there
is doubtful state the old line demo-
cratic leaders will be seen and con-
suited. The committee is now, it is
made up of ardent progressives, but
it is not going to be foolish. In New
York, where an Independent party
of democrats has been formed, head
ed by State Senator Franklin Roose-
velt an interesting situation has aris-
en-. The new party will work for the
national ticket, although it will op-
pose Tammany Hall in the state, ano
there is much conjecture as to what
: will happen when Senator Roosevelt
: and Thomas F. Smith, secretary oi
Tammany and the diplomatic inter
J mediary of his organization meet
around the Fifth Avenue Building
where the democratic headquarters
have been established.
