make the secaAding speech for
Hon. John McCcrn ack wien the
latter's name was to be proposed
for vice-president. No Massachu-
sets colored man has ever before
been given this honor.
The fight for the seating of the
first colored delegation in the
Democratic Party's history devel-
oped early in the electrified air of
the Convention. Ably supported
by State Sen. Chester Dolan
(whose area embraces the Ward
Nine section) and few others,
DR.. Taylor called an immediate
caucus meeting and stressed the
necessity for Massachusetts, eth
er winning the fight to seat the
colored group on the floor, or de-
livering a strong minority report
which would set the line for
further activities OF the gathering.
The latter course was voted by
the full Massachusetts group.
For two days the Conventioan
was strong in its support of Hon.
John Mccormack, who repre-
sents Ward Nine in the United
states Congress, for vice presi-
dent. This move was later drop
ped, however, largely at the sug-
gestion of Mr., Mccormack him
self { in which DR.. Taylor con-
curred) for the sake of national
unity within the Party's ranks.
Such was the line set by DR..
Taylor and other members Of
the Massachusetts delegation that

ties made the headlines through

The original vidoco was an es-
capped convict who became chief of
the Paris police soon after the
Battle of Waterloo and led a spec
tacular life of crime. In 1877, when
the police force of the French capt.
tai was reorganized, vidoco helped
create the worlds first special corps
of Notwithstanding its mem
bers from among his former part
ners in crime. This ruthless COM
pany quickly proved too much for
Vidoco to handle and he was driven
back to crime and began to lead
double life: Police commissioner
by day and thief by night.
Eventually Vidoco was caught and
resentenced to row in one of the
Kings galleys. But the use Of plain
clothes detectives, which he had be-
gun, remained and was later
