why KERN WAS NAMED.
Practical Application of the Game of
Politics.

indianapolis. Ind, July 4.-John w.
president of the United States, was
born In Howard county, 50 years ago.
He was graduated from the law de-
partment Of the University of Michi-
gan in his twentieth year, and has since
identified himself with law and politics.
His first official position of record is
that or supreme court reporter in his
home state. Mr.. Kern has always been
staunch Democrat and for many
years has been one of Indiana's favor
lite sons in Democracy. In 1892 he was
elected to the state senate. In the leg
islature he succeeded in making such
a name for himself that four years la
ter he retired to become city attorney
of Indianapolis. His popularity grew
as people learned to know his sterling
worth and to recognize his ability. In
1900 he was nominated for governor of
Indiana by the Democrats but was
defeated. Four years ago at st. Louis
he was prominently mentioned as a vice
presidential candidate but lost to Mr..
Davis.
Mr.. Kern is a close friend of Tom
Taggart and Mr.. Taggart has been
pushing him forward as nominee for
some time.
The strongest factor leading to the
Kern nomination was not Kern him
self, however, but the ethics of the
game of politics. The east, and more
especially New York, has always been
looked upon as doubtful territory 1t
has always been considered good poll
tics to hitch a New Yorker or some
other Atlantic coast Democrat to the
tail of the ticket. This was one Of the

PAYS HIS OWN WAY
ESCAPED Convict Returns to the In
diana Penitentiary.

Chicago, July A-William McCarty,
| 40 years old, is going back to the In
diana state penitentiary at Michigan
City. Unless his sentence is committed
| by legislative action or pardon, IA
years will pass before he is again a
free man. Yet no officer Of thelaw ac-
companied himon his trip across the
state line, and the railroad ticket on
which he came from North Yakima,
Wash, to serve out his sentence was
bought out of his own earnings.
McCarty was converter recently
at Salvation army meeting in North
Yakima, became convinced that it was
his duty to return to the prison from
which he had escaped when on parole,
and set to work earning money for his
passage.
Several years ago, he gambled away
his money one evening in Montpelier.
Ind. Then he became Intoxicated,
broke into store and stole $500 worth
of surgical instruments, which he sold
later for 1880 He was caught and
sentenced to from one to 10 years hard
| labor in the Indiana state penitentiary.
After serving two years he was
paroled and given a job on an ice
| wagon. For weeks he did his work
we'll. Then he became intoxicated
again and hit a man over the head in
a street fight. This. he was told, would
end his parole, and he fled the state.

| a tramp, he drifted into North
Yakima, began attending Salvation
| army meetings and after a time he

Soon after his conversion" Nc
| Carty's conscience began to trouble
him. Early in June he wrote to Gov
| ernor Hanly of Indiana telling him OF
the circumstances of his escape from
/ the state and Of his intention to re-
! turn to serve out his sentence.
Come ahead, wrote Governor Han
| ly in reply. Your broken parole will
| mean a sentence of IA years, but you
have made me a promise. Now fulfill"
There wasno word of a possible par
| don or mitigated sentence.
Within a few weeks McCarty had
earned enough money to pay the long
! trip to Michigan City and last
| Wednesday he started. He reached
Chicago yesterday, had long talk
| with Colonel French, territorial secre-
| tary of the Salvation army in Chicago
and then went on to Michigan City.

Gentlemen of the committee:
1.-The platform recently adopted by
the national convention of our party
at Denver contains the following
pledge:
I'VE pledge the Democratic party
to the enactment of a law prohibiting
any corporation from contributing to
campaign fund and any individual
from contributing above a reasonable
amount and publication before cleo
ton of all contributions above a rea-
sonable minimum.
Mr.. Kern and 1 are in hearty
sympathy with this pledge, and are
gratified at its adoption. With it's
politics will begin. Elections will
then be regarded as public affairs and
the influence which control them in
stead of being secret will be known
to the voters.
AS an earnest token that our party
Will make good in it's pledge we ask
you to construe this plank and put it
into immediate operation. This can
be done by the adoption of a resolu-
ton announcing that in pursuance OF
the policy outlined in that pledge, your
committee will not accept any contri-
button whatever from any corporation;
that it will not accept any contribution
from any individual above a reasonable
amount and that it will make publica-
ton before election of all contributions
above reasonable minimum. We sug-
gest for your approval maximum OF
$4,000 and minimum of 800, no con-
trlbut1on to be received above SO 00(
and all contributions above 500 to be
made public before the election.
I'VE suggest also that on, or before

received up to that date. that after the
18th of October publication shall be
made of such contributions on the day
no contribution above 800 shall be ac-
cepted within three days of the cleo
tion."
