Thomas Taggart, veteran Demo-

States senator, passed his seventy
second birthday anniversary quietly
at his home, 1881 North Delaware
street, today.
Because of his precarious health,
the occasion was observed simply
with his family. Congratulatory
kilograms came from Taggart's
friends in all parts of the country
while his nearest associates here ex-
tended their greetings by telephone
and letter.
On Nov. 5, Taggart was removed
to his home, from Methodist hospi-
tai, where he was under observation
for five weeks. Under physicians
advice, he did not go to the polls

point. His condition has improved
slowly. Friday, he walked about
the house for a short time.
