John Worth Kern is a '49er and a lawyer and a native of Indiana, but he is not an author.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-07-12

9 presidential contest of 1908 is
 fully launched
 It is, as has been predicted in this column for many months past-Taft and Bryan.
 The vice presidential nominees are sur prises. The republicans named Sherman, because Sherman was from New York and because Sherman was Uncle Joe Cannon's chief lieutenant as stand batter" Sherman has not only been statesman but he has been a business man. He has been a success as both.
 Kern, the democratic vice presidential nominee, is a successful lawyer and has been in Indiana politics for many years. He has been in the state legislature and he has been candidate for governor. He stands well in Indiana.
 There was all sorts of enthusiasm at the Denver convention. The applause when Bryans name was first mentioned in the speech of the able and eloquent blind senator from Oklahoma-Mr. Gore lasted longer and was more enthusiastic perhaps than any ovation ever given to anybody in any national convention in this country.
 Mir. Bryan has worked for years for what he achieved at the Denver conven- ton. He personally organized every state and almost every congressional dis trict in the United States. He has per- sonally chosen his own friends and leaders and has made canvass within the democratic party which perhaps has never been equalled for thorough work and organization in the history of Amer ican politics. In doing so he has been partisan within his own party, and has in many cases dictated as to how con tests should be conducted. He has as- stunned to be as thorough a dictator of the democratic party as has President
 
 the republican party.
 MT. Bryan has dictated and won out for himself in his ticket and his plat form. He has assumed all responsibility and reliability. He has made himself the democratic party. His views are it's views
 On the other hand President Roosevelt exercised all of his personal powers and the powers of his administration and of his executive control to nominate his friend Taft as the republican candidate for President
 The enthusiasts of America would ap- plaud Roosevelt first. The business in terests have best confidence in Taft Roosevelt has played to the populace, so to speak. and at the same time nurtured and been friendly to the business in terests He has called to the White House for conference bankers, railroad presidents, alleged trust magnates, spec ulators and men of wealth and property from all sections of the country. He brought about a panic, and he cured a panic. A great part of the American people believe that Taft was his right bower in curing the panic.
 MT. Bryan has discussed publicly all the questions that have come up In the mak- ing of American history in the past sixteen years. He has applauded and lauded Roosevelt, pleasantly accusing him of having stolen his (Bryan's) thunder He has applauded the enthusiastics of Roose- yelt's rule.
 Now it is up to Bryan to get down to real democracy and old-fashioned demo- cratic principles. The responsibility of the democratic party and of democratic success is upon his shoulders. If he ap- paa1s to tho pnnulistic clement of this
