MAN’S MEMORY RESTORED
ON SEEING NAME IN PAPER
Tulsa, Okla.—After being known
11 years as “the man without a
name,” Patrick P, Taggart finds
himself again in possession of his
memory.
He was found on the outskirts of
Tulsa, lying near a railroad track.
He had been slugged, robbed anil
left wounded. He was taken to the
Y. M. C. A., where he lived as “the
man without a name” until he saw
the word "Taggart” in a newspaper
headline.
“That's my name!" he excitedly
told C. E. Bouchner. general secre
tary of the Y. M. C. A.
Previously, a Memorial day parade
caused the strange man to recall
that he was with the colors in 1898.
The surname and the knowledge of
military service opened the way to
an investigation which revealed the
man was Patrick F. Taggart, 49, an
honorably discharged veteran of the
Spanish-American war. <
“A delicate brain operation, paid
for by A. L. Funk, an oil man,
brought back more of Taggart’s
memory and relieved the paralysis
which afflicted him. Then Tag
gart remembered that his wife and
child died of influenza in Calilornia
and that he was going back to his
native Boston when he became lost
in Tulsa. Friends have obtained a
soldier's pension for the man who
has experienced so much misfor
tune.
"I’ve got money now, and I am on
top of the world,” Taggart says.

Watch For Gardner
Speech Over State
Max Gardner. whO will be the
next governor of North Carolina if
the stars keep shining until an elec
tion can be held, will make his first ,
public proclamations of his cam
paign at Boone Monday and, very
naturally, he will not only be heard
eagerly by the folks of the moun
tain territory, but the state will
await with tense interest his pri
mary deliverances in this campaign:
To a degree that few. if any man
in the history of the commonwealth
has possessed. Mr. Gardner enjovs
the esteem and confidence of those
of his party as well as the respect \
and admiration of the citizens of
North Carolina generally, whatever
their political affiliations may be.
It can reasonably be expected, there
fore. that his remarks will weight
heavily in influence and the path
that he pioneers for himself will
become that over which multiplied
thousands of his feltow-Democrats
will feel more safety in treading
once he has cut the way.
Mr. Gardner's main business will
be. we anticipate, to solidify senti
ment for the state ticket and to
guard with jealous care the par
ty’s destiny as it concerns itself pri-|
marily with the government of this
commonwealth. He is the one man
of them all in this campaign who is
capacitated to k^ep the state ma
jority intact and even to swell it
to a conspicuous degree in the Nov
ember voting
HE’S A CANDIDATE BI T
REFUSES TO CAMPAIGN
Topeka, Kan.—J. Edward Bar
ker. who is seeking the Republican
nomination for representative in
Wyandotte county, is conducting a
campaign unique in this state.
In fact he has made no eampayn.
His only activity has been to file for
the office and distribute a few carci*
showing he was a candidate: ;i
He has not asked a solitary per
son to vote for him and will not.
He is trying a tlwcry he has held ,
for years, that the wholesale use of '
results; that a man who will sell I
money cuts little figure in election j
to on-» candidate will sell out to his j
opponent; also that when a man I
offers himself as a candidate the ,
people should not be log-rolled and ,
cajoled into voting for him: that he
should give them perfect freedom
in their choice and accept their1
decision.
If he wins, he says, he will do the j
best he can in the legislature; if he i
loses, the smoke will go up the chim
ney just the same. Barker comes
from one of the oldest and wealth
iest families in Wyandotte county.
