TAGGART BACKS CHARGES MADE
BY {. L. HUGHES.
Democratic Senator Condemns Wilson
Administration For Gross
Extravaganza.

Washington, Aug .12.-Senator Tag
gart of Indiana, a Democrat, in the
senate today substantiated the charg-
cs Of Charles f. Hughes, the Republi-
can candidate for president, that the
present administration has been gross
ly extravagant in its expenditures of
public funds.
Senator Taggart's speech, made in
connection with the proposed revenue,
was remarkable in many respects.
He chidded his colleagues for their
extravaganza, called for more husi-
ness-like administration of the gov
ernment's affairs and took issue with
many congressman, senator's and the
president on the question of raising
revenue.
Senator Taggart stated that after
charging the republicans with extrava-
gance and promising to give the coun-
try an economical government the
democrats on assuming power had put
in their time studying up new meth

could be wrung from the people to be
wasted in the grossest extravaganza
ever known in the history of the
country. No attempt has ever been
made by the president or leaders to
check this constantly increasing flood
Of waste, but instead they are now try
ing to pass new taxes to increase their
opportunities for spending money.
He declared definitely his opposition
to the rivers and harbors bill, portions
Of the agricultural bill and the public
buildings bill.
Finally, he devoted himself to an at
tack on the way the revenue provided
in the administration revenue bill is to
be raised.
In the face of definite opposition by
the president to bond issue, Senator
Tsggart declared himself unqualifiedly
for budget system and a bond issue.

should be conducted with the same

SEES THE SIGNS
Old Line Democrat Unburdens His
Troubles and Relieves His Mind

AADne Of the pioneer democratic work
ers of Prowers county drifted into
the Register Office the other morning
and unburdened some of his troubles
on the editor. He had just been read
ing the reports of the democratic
state assembly and was seeing visions
of Harry Churchill, renegade republi-
can as next leader of the democratic
party What a fat chance" he said
"a democrat-that is real democrat
has to get anything in Colorado.
For twenty years the democrats didn't
get a smell and then when the tide
turned and there was q chance, some
renegade republican or ex-populist
was always sitting in the front rank
with his plate out and he had to be
waited on first. We have elected
many u. S. senators but only two
democrats, Hughes and Thomas, the
rest were ex-somethings-gen
republicans. A number of times we
have elected governors, but all were
exes save Thomas and Adams. For
congressman at-large it was always
either Shafroth or Taylor, both rene
gade republicans. Even now in Wash
ington we have Shafroth, ex-republi-
can, and Thomas in the senate; and
Taylor, ex-republican, Keating, ex-
populist, and Hilliard, ex-." He
scratched his head and said well, |
don't know whether he is an "ex" or
not, but whatever kind of an institu
tion he escaped from they had much
better kept him locked up. And it fol-
lows right down the line, we furnish
the votes anad there are always
enough hoppers to hold most Of the
offices, both elective and appointive.
It's tough, tell you, and here's this

Of the republican party because he was

he left the office he said he believed
he would be a republican or a prohi-
bitionist for a few years and then re-
turn to the democratic party as an
