INDIANA MANS SPEECH SHOWS UNDERSTANDING
OF QUESTIONS At ISSUE


and just bit Of anxiety to hear the acceptance speech of their vice
osdenial candidate Mr. John W. Kern saws the Denver News
The natural The anxiety due the fact that Mr.
Shean remarks on similar occasion had showed how bad
speech acceptance cond be- and the chasm of nedotv thus
bare everyone sh1verng the awful possibilities But tev
will shve Henceort Mr. Kens speeches will be await
ed with interest in which anxiety has part Kern has made
good He has proved himself with the ability to think straight
and put his thoughts in msakabe language He has marked
himself amply able carry work Of the pres
dency should fall to his lot do In word Kerns speech of
acceptance shown that there on the Democratic
ticket just M Shermans efforts showed that there one
man the ticket of the Republicans.
Here bit of what Mr. Kenr has say to Sherans feeble
phtitude that the people always rule:
"Wi any intelligent claim that there is has been any
substantial diversity of opinion this country the question
whether the tariff duty wood pulp used the of
paper should be reduced removed In this the tariff o
Grated for the benefit of the paper trust alone allowing that combine
levy millions of tribute each year upon the newspapers Of the
country and their readers.
e press of the country without regard party united in
demanding relief The people of the republic unanimously seconded
demand The president of the United States threw the influence
his office in favor of the demand of the press and the people
But ali without avail The dominant within the Republican,
party established the lower house of congress parliamentary
condition. of monopoly under which the sole o
determine whether should be allowed to become law or
lodged the speaker of that body and his committee on
rules and by the fiat of that the will of the press the peo
pie and the president set at nau In this instance did the po
pie ue?'
The News believes that on one occasion the future Mr. Sher
has chance make speech that will be almost interesting
will when he tries that question OF MI hern
In another place Mr. Kern has summed up the matter in one peg
eff the will of the people known not given
effect then the people do not rule
We fancy there will dissent from that statement And
think are who accepting the satemnet will say
that the people have any rule through the good ohce
Of Joe Cannon of representatives and Dollar Jim Sena
To follow the fiction of popular government through gat IKE
that would be politics through the looking gasS 70 osy
mvy land and to take counsel of the jabberwork
But Mr. Kern does content himself with reluIs u' pa
udes on which the O. O. D. leaders fixed their hopes lie cans

ment of Providence for the production OF good tunes R
