JUDGE PARKER
FAVORS KERN

INDIANAPOLIS. Aug. 1.-The con-
test for the Democratic nomination for
governor at the State convention on
Wednesday next has warmed UP con-
siderably around the hotel Hobbies
The friends Of candidates opposed to
Kern charged that the Taggart influence
is at work for Kern. and that IL is its
purpose TO nominate him for governor.
II is said that Judge Parker would
like TO see Kern nominated. and that
when he and Taggart were East trying
to secure the national Craftsmanship
Kern was asked If he would be willing
to head the State ticket He declared
that he would, and it Is now charged
that although he had notified his friends
that he would not be q. candidate, he
now feels under obligations TO make the
race
Some of the men who are in the race
say they would not have been candi-
dates had not Kern said he would not

they think he ought TO declare himself
out Of the race. Mr. Kern says that he

HULL CONFIDENT
FOR REPUBLICANS

There could not be a better isSue for
the Republicans in the coming campaign
than the personality Of President Roose-
welt. IL the West ii makes him uni
versally popular while thinking men Of
the North and East have come TO I'M
derstand that the radicalism of the
President is the wisest conservatism.
Representative HUI of Iowa, vice
chairman Of the Republican Congress
sional committee. expressed this opin-
ion at the White House this morning.
He had been in TO see the President. but
after the visit said the conversation
had related only TO minor matters of
policy in the campaign.
Why" the Congressman continued.
IF a staid ana rock-ribbed conservative
had occupied the Presidential chair dur
ing the last two years and had suffered

there would have been an upheaval of
Indignation so strong and so general
that the Republican party would have
been swept out of office.
Thinking men of business understand
that President Roosevelt has maintained
public confidence in the ability of the
Republican party TO meet conditions as
they exist and emergencies as hey pre-
sent themselves. They are going 20 sup
port him in the campaign
Representative Hull expressed a con-
fldent belief that the Republicans can
win their fight for the Presidency with
out the votes Of New York. which be
conceded to be a doubtful State. He
said Indiana was a certainty for Roose-
welt and Fairbanks, and that there was
