KERN PROTECTED
GAMBLING HELL
Charles w. Miller, Former At
torney-GeneraI, Arraigns
Democrat.
WAS TAGGART'S ATTORNEY
DEFENDED THE RULER OF IND
lana DEMOCRACY AND FRENCH
LICK, IN HIS EFFORTS TO
DODGE INDIANA LAW.

Chicago, Sept. 30.-John w. Kern
democratic nominee for vice president
was depicted as the defender Of rou-
lette wheels and faro banks and the
champion of the gambling houses at
French Lick and West Baden, in a
statement issued at republican nation
al headquarters by Charles w. Miller,
ex-attorney general of Indiana.
Miller. who is running for congress
from the Thirteenth district of Indi
ana, is the official who closed up the
gambling casinos at the two Indiana
resorts two years ago and he makes
the charge that in his efforts to en-,
force the anti-gambling laws he was
fought at every turn by Mr.. Kern
Campaign orators in his state, he as,
serts. are making republican votes by
pointing out that in the anti-gambling
crusade Kern defended Taggart in the
courts and that in the Denver conven,
ton Taggart, then chairman of the
national committee, reciprocated by
securing for Kern the place of running
mate for Bryan on the national ticket
Kern Attorney for Tasgart.
When / closed up the French Lick
and West Baden casinos" said Mr.
Miller, MIR. Kern was on the ground
in the interests of Tom Taggart to
block me at every turn. He was Tag
CARTS attorney. He defended Taggart
in the courts and in the newspapers,
belittling the efforts the state was
making to put these gambling bells
out of existence.
Kern complained bitterly against
the action of the state, saying the
Taggart hotel company had nothing
to do with the gambling dens and that
the only evidence which the state had
was that gathered by Hearst newspap
er reporters. He said Hearst had
sent minister down there who put
and then took photos of them. Kern
said there was no injury shown to any
one.
I'VE charged that Taggart had aid
ed in the delinquency of children, and
I said in court that I would rather be
guilty of murder than guilty of this
crime. Kern knew as well as any liv
ing man that Taggart was the boss OF
these gambling dives. Taggart's mot
to, 1.-THE Pluto Devil" was on every
poker chip. We took sixteen wagon
loads of gambling peraphernalia out
Of the places. Kerns comments or
the activity of the state were little
to the credit of man aspiring to be
vice president"
