Indiana Capitol January 24 The long battle over repealing the primary law appears to falter as Thomas Taggart, arrival from Mississippi, withdraws from party pressure. Republicans hoped his influence would sway Democrats to back abolition and end presidential preference, but Taggart’s visit yields no pledge to push repeal.
