Fight on Taggart Begins Democrats
Hopeful Many Candidates.
. Indianapolis. In J., . Jan. 2. Demo
cratic conventions were held today In
the IS districts of Indiana tor the se
lection of new members of the state
central committee, who will meet next
Wednesday and reorganize by select
ing a chairman and secretary. Stokes
Jackson of Greenfield, Is one of the
most prominent aspirants to the chair
manship, although the opposition to
the Taggart ' regime will support
James Kirby Risk, while many of the
Taggart men will use their Influence
to secure the selection of Gilbert
Hendren. It Is hoped that by the
time the committee meets a spirit ot
harmony will have:. been restored
among the democratic leaders Of the
state and that the bitter fight expect
ed in the election of a chairman will
not materialize. Indiana democrats
are hopeful of victory in the coming
state and national elections. .Already
a number of candidates have been
spoken of for the governorship, among
the most promising of whom -is Carroll
K. McCullough, a wealthy manufac
turer of Anderson and a member of
the state legislature. John W. Kern
of Indianapolis will not again seek
the nomination. Despite stiff opposl
tlon In ecrtain Influential quarters, It
is apparent that Bryan Is a favorite
among Indiana democrats and the
Hoosler delegation to . the national
convention will probably favor the
Nebraskan.

Unless Governor Once More Grants
Rreprleve, Which Is Improbable.
New Orleans, La., Jan. 2. Lee Cole
man, the Calcasieu parish murderer,
whose friends have made a notable
and determined effort to save him
from the gallows, will be hanged to
morrow unless Governor Blanchard
grants another stay. This Is consid
ered unlikely, as Coleman's case has
already been passed upon by a board
of pardons, consisting of the lieuten
ant governor, the attorney general and
the Judge who presided at the trial.
This board refused to Interfere with
the execution of the sentence of death
passed upon Coleman. The crime, of
which Coleman was convicted was the
murder of Deputy Sheriff Sctlumaker,
which occurred during a saloon brawl
In the little town of De Rlddor early
last October. Enmtly had existed be
tween Coleman and the deputy sheriff
fpr some time, culminating In their
meeting In a saloon and the shooting
of Schumaker. At the trial Coleman
declared that he believed his life was
in danger and that he shot the deputy
sheriff In self defense. It was shown
at the time that Coleman frequently
became Intoxicated and was at such
times of a quarrelsome disposition.
The execution was first set for the
latter part of this month, but a re
prieve was granted by the governor.
at the request of Coleman's friends, In
order that the board of pardons might
Investigate the case.
OHIO POLITICS.
Fight for the Endorsement of Tuft or
: Fornker.
Columbus, O., Jan. 2. In response
to the call Issued by Chairman Brown
the republican state central committee
convened at the Neil house at 1
o clock this afternoon. The members
will arrange for the state convention
and the meeting will mark the begin
nlng of the contest for the Ohio dele
gation to the national convention. It
Is expected that a date early next
month will be selecteu for the state
convention. The selection of an early
date Is looked upon as a victory for
the Taft forces, which are In control
of the central committee. That the
committee will demand primaries for
state convention delegates, the Issue
be the endorsement of Secretary Taft
or Senator Foraker, Is almost assured.
Chairman Walter R. Brown Is known
to favor this method of procedure,
and the other members will doubtless
agree with him. The Foraker forces
are opposed to a convention before
March, and will fight the plan to
name an early February date.-
