gance and wastefulness in appropriations.
Mr.. Taggart declared that he did
not want 10 be- elected to the Sen
ate, If he thought he could not go there
and do something for the people. q
Il am not coming before you,' he
said, las a candidate asking for some

REPUBLICANS DO NOT
SUPPLY LEAGUE COPIES.
He attacked the Misrepresentation
made by the hired Republican speakers
in regard to the league and the treaty Of
peace.
He ventured the opinion that If every
person in the country would read the
League of Nations covenant they could do
nothing else but vote for its ratification
and adoption
He charged the Republican speakers
are not allowed TO read the covenant and
declared that il is impossible to find n
copy of the covenant in any Republican
headquarters. -
you will find that they won't have
copies, and it may he that they will
ask you what it is, so completely ig-

kept by the bosses
A feature of the days tour was the
meeting held at Bicknell, InGiana's fore
most mining town.
The meeting here was in the open air
and fully 800 miners, following a hard
days work. stood for more than an hour
and a half listening attentively to the
discussion of the campaign issues.
William A. Cullop, candidate for Con-
gresham from the Second District, spoke
at Bicknell.
This was a distinctive feature in it
self, inasmuch as Oscar Bland, Repub-
liean candidate for Congressman from
that district, has been placed on the
blacklist" as far as political speeches
are concerned.
SAY SCOTCH MINERS
OPPOSE BLAND
1t is reported in Bicknell. where. a
large Scotch populstio resides, that in
an address there some time ago Mr.
:. Bland launched into bitter attack
ssgainst England, in regard to its rela-
tons in the League OF Nations.
The Scotchmen in the district became
ineensed at mis- remarks aud refuse to
attend any Of his meetings
Mr.. Bland also was refused permission
70 speak in hall at Montgomery several
days ago.
At this place the farmers are against
him, it is said, because of his stand on
the Cnmmins Esch bill
At the Baltimore * Ohio railroad shops
In Nincennes the workmen refused to lis
zen to his addresses, and Mt Washington
the farmers declined to listen to him.
It was said in BickneH that three
different trips have been made to the city
by Mr.. Bland in an attempt to square
himself" with the Scotch miners. but
those gentlemen declare there is moth
ing doing"
Since Mr.. BANDS CHIEF support in the
past two elections has come from the
miners, Democratic leaders in the dis
trict are confident that Mr.. Cullop will
be successful in the present campaign.
That the Second District. and .practi-
cslly every county therein. viii return
Democratic majority in the coming cleo
ton. was the prediction made on every
hand by party leaders.
Especially are they convinced of sue
cess because Of the antagonism Of the
: people OF the community toward the
Goodrich administration.
-Four years Of the Goodrich good gov
eminent system" has given them ALI they
want, they declare, and since the Re-
publican gubernatorial candidate and
the Republican State platform indorse
4 this administration, they feel that they
Ian gain relief only by voting the
Etraight Democratic ticket
Keen interest was shown in MrNTag-
CARTS addresses yesterday in all OF the
meetings. when he referred to matters
Of taxation.
