Under his guiding hand our

widowed mothers, and State aid for
promotion Of the health of rural
communities. That is progressive.
He has sponsored a practical work

Tom in Denial

New York newspapers this morn
ing announced in unison that Tag
CART had changed his tactics and
now had the Hoosier delegates out
scouting for votes. Taggart greeted
this dope with a laugh and said,
Nothing to it; I don't think that
would help us any. We are con-
tinUing as we have been doing, in
pointing out the Senator's strong
points both as a candidate and as
an executive"
Plans of some Of the Hoosier
delegates to have Senator Ralston
come to New York from his home
did not get very far. Taggart with
his customary diplomacy, did not ex-
actly step on the suggestion when it
was made to him, but ne saw to it
that nothing came of it. He has an
idea that Ralston's staying away
will be helpful in the end in that it
will contrast Ralston's elder states
man dignity with the offices seeking
enterprise Of other aspirants who
are on hand here.
1t is part of Taggart's plan to
keep the Indiana delegates busy-to
keep them thinking they are playing
an important part in the convention.
In no better way can they be kept
busy than by telling other dele
gates who Ralston really is. So far
members of the Tennessee delegation,
certain Ohio delegates and nearly
the whole Of the Michigan delegates
have manifested friendship for Rails
ton.
Tennessee of course must first
stick with McAdoo, Ohio with Cox,
Michigan with Ferris. But after a
few ballots, things may be different.
At any rate, HoOsIers. both on and
off the delegation are telling other
delegates that RalstOn is not an old
man, and as there is no more famous
load of hay in the whole world than
that load somebody saw Senator
Ralston pushing last Thursday after
noon in a very hot sun. That proved
that Ralston is young and strong.
Many Want Ralston
1t was said by Heutenants Of Mr..
Taggart that a considerable number
of delegates had called on him TO
indicate that they intended to vote
for Senator Ralston. some of them at
;he outset of the ballotiug and
others when it became apparent that
their first preferences for the nomi-
nation could not obtain the
necessary two.thirds vote. Mr..
Taggart, it was explained told all
callers practically the same thing
and a typical dialogue between Mr..
Taggart and such callers was thus
described:
legate-Senator, we want to
vote for Senator Ralston and thought
we'd come to you and talk things
over.
Taggart-What State delegation
did you say you were in?
Delegate-such State.
Taggart-Isn't your State delega-
ton instructed to vote for So and
So?
Delegate-Yes.
Taggart-Oh. then, hope you will
stick to your instructions. Stick to
them to the end. We are not trying
to get delegates away from any other
candidate.
Delegate-Well, there are only two
of us IN our delegation who want to
vote for Senator Ralston, and we
think it will be all right to go to
him on early ballots.
Taggart-No, that will never do.
Just stick to your instructions as
long as they are in force; but if the
delegation decides to break away
from its candidate, Wen welcome
your votes for Ralston. Two of you.
did you say. small favors will be
gratefully received and larger ones
in proportion?

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN,
NEW YORK, June 26.-Asserting
his career possessed much of the

claring that it is not the intention
of his campaign managers to try

Pointing to Smiths record in the

gard in which he is held, Roosevelt
pleaded:

finger of scorn at our executive
machinery"

ernor of ours is the most dangerous
adversary that the Republican party
ever had to fear, and you owe it to
the nation to choose a candidate

Referring to his record as Cover
nor. he also said; Here in this State,
through the leadership of this Gov
ernor, governmental efficiency in
creased so that the executives Of
other States have done the honor to
seek to copy our method.
He was author of the budget
system. He was a pioneer in the re-
organization and simplification Of
governmental departments. Through
it all he has held up and strengthened
the system of promotion in the gov
eminent service for merit only, and

men and women pre-eminently quail
fed for their tasks.

School commissioners indicated 1t
would be necessary to ask for an in
crease of about 26 cents in the tax
levy for 1925 in order to raise money
for the new construction. About
$780, 900 would be added to city
taxes by this move.
Besides raising money for the con-
struction the board must provide for
about $500, 900 in the sinking fund
to retire $10,OOO.000 worth of out
standing bonds. Eight cents of the
increase would go for this purpose.
Present school levy is SS.25 cents.

MISTAKES MADE BY POETS
Blunders In Literature Are Not All
Confined to the Living
Authors.

The blunders In literature are not
all confined to living authors.
Millions lines, "Thick as autumnal
leaves that strew the brooks in Val
lombrOsa,' are familiar to everyone,
but, as matter Of fact, the Vallom.
brosa forests are all Of pine trees, so
that there are no leaves. and pine nee.
dies do not full In the autumn, but to-
wards spring.
In ."Comus" he writes:
And IN the violet embroidered vale
Where the lovelorn nightingale
Nightly to thee her sad song mourneth
well.
Unfortunately for the poet, the male
nightingale alone sings and the female
Is volceless.
Another classic writer who allowed
his meter to get the better of his sense
was Pope, who wrote:
When nrs. young Marc, In his noble
A work t outlast immortal Rome de-
signed.
He had overlooked the fact that, IL
Rome. was immortal, nothing could
outlast It,
But neither of these 10 any worse
than the story OF Pharaoh's daughter
finding the infant Moses among the
burushes on the banks of the Nile. AS
n matter Of fact, bulrushes do not
thrive In that part of the world, and
there are none on the banks OF the

In his youthfulness may be found
some excuse for Keats writing:
Like stout Cortez whom. with eager
eyes,
He gazed at the Pacific.
Balboa discovered the Pacific. and
not Cortez.
