no speeches. but he has been in close
touch with the organization and has

TaRgart to Take stump.
A cheering bit of news for the
democrats this week was the word
that Thomas Taggart. former ma
tional chairman. will take the stump
nominee for senator. Following a
meeting of the state committee 1t was
noted in the newspapers that Mr..
Taggart was not present at the
meeting. The following day he called
Mr.. Ralston over the telephone from

the oratory at his command. He said
he would get into the campaign early
in October and remain to the finish.
Mr.. Taggart was never known as a
speechmaker until a few years ago
after he had served short time in
the Senate as an appointee of Mr..
Ralston. who was then governor.
Prior to that time Mr. Taggarts aid

At the meeting of the democratic
state committee it was predicted that
democrats would carry seven of the
thirteen congressional districts.
Walter S. Chambers said that 1,000,-

cratic pamphlet dealing with alleged
republican extravaganza in state af-

Beveridse-shank Alliance.
A new note was struck in the
democratic campaign this week in
speech by Russell J. Ryan, chair
man of the organization in Indian
apolis. Mr.. Ryan asserted that there
is an alliance between Mr.. Beveridge,
candidate for senator, and Mayor Shank
Of Indianapolis. Shank, he said, is aid

at the recent meeting of the re-
