TAGGART PREPARING

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
INDIANAPOLIS, June 7.-Thomas
Taggart. reinforced by the remark
able victory he won this week in
making Carlton B. Mcculloch the
Democratic nominee for governor,
Will leave the last Of next week for
New York to lay the groundwork for
what may develop into a determined
move to land the Presidential nom
ination for Senator Samuel NJ Rails
ton. Taggart will show up at New
York as chairman of the Indiana
delegation Of thirty-four all deter
mined to support Ralston.
1t required the senator's personal
request to prevent the state conven-
ton from instructing the national
delegation to place his name in the
running. He does not wish to be-
come an avowed candidate for the
Presidency, standing in the position
that he will accept the nomination,
however, If it comes his way.
Harmony Among Democrats.
Taggarts leadership in Indiana
once more is unquestioneo. he made
McCulloch the nominee over seven
other opponents in one of the warm
est conventions ever held In the
state. The nomination came on the
third ballot, although beyond ques-
tion Taggart could have put him over
on the first ballot. The fact that he
permitted complimentary ballots to
be cast for the other aspirants left a
good feeling of harmony.
The state convention adopted a
freedom and liberty" plank which.
while not mentioning the ku klux
Klan, is aimed directly at any
organization that attempts to dictate
partisan politics. 1t was the Demo-
cratic answer to the Klan- controlled
Republican convention, and means
that the Khan will be the dominant
issue in Indiana this fall.
