AID OF TAGGART
Former Field Secretary Wires
Pledge to Help in u. S.
Senate Race.

Indiana drys who are not in the en-
ploy OF the Anti Saloon League are rally
Ing to the support of Thomas Taggart,
Democratic nominee for Senator. since his
frank declaration on the subject Of Iiq-
uor.
They are assuring Mr.. Taggart not only
Of their support but Of their indignation
at the attempt Of the Republicans TO gain
support for Senator Watson through the
agency Of officers Of the Anti Saloon
League. whom they are endeavoring to
influence.
Among the messages OF support for Mr..
Taggart which have been received by
him is one from Roscoe Fertich. former
secretary Of the Ann-Saloon League OF
Indiana. which reads as follows:
Your declaration of opposition to any
legislation increasing the alcoholic con-
tents Of beverages as at present defined
by Federal statute removes the only bar
rier in commanding the progressive and
independent vote of Indiana for your
election to the United States senate.
in my opinion the League Of Nations
transcends sll other issues.
Ny all too vivid memory of the des-
perate effort to make the Republican
party of Indiana an instrument truthfuliy
to reflect the overwhelming sentiment Of
1912 and the tyranicaI disregard Of truth
justice and even common decency by the
same bigoted politicians who seek to con-
tinue to misrepresent our splendid State
in the United States Senate in your plat
form regarding the league compel me to
pledge my wholehearted support for your
election"
