John w. Kern.

John, w. Kern was born at Alto, Howard county, Indiana. Dec. 20, 1849. His forefathers were natives of Vir- ginia and neighbors of Thomas lief. ferson At an early age Kern at- tended a normal school at Kokomo, Ind. He taught school for while, and then went to Ann Arbor to study law. He got his degree from the University of Michigan before he was old enough to vote, and at twenty-one was nominated for representative from Howard county, making strong canvass in Republican bailiwick. Subsequently he was elected city at torney of Kokomo for six terms, though the council was always Repub- lcan In 1884 he was elected report CT of the supreme and appellate courts of Indiana.
 After moving to Indianapolis he was sent to the state senate in 1892, and became an acknowledged leader in that body. He served in the state senate until 1896. From 1897 to 1901 he was city attorney of Indianapolis. In 1900 he was nominated for govern. or on the Democratic ticket, but could not stem the tide against Bryan, whose firm friend he was. Kern was again nominated for governor in 1904, but conditions were still against Demo cratic success in Indiana. He ardent ly advocated the renomination of Bry- an for the presidency in 1904, but was among the first to declare for Al ton B. Parker when MT. Bryan elim- mated himself from the race. Mir. Kern might have had the Democratic vice presidential nomination in 1904 but for his determination not to lay any obstacles in the way of Thomas Taggart's candidacy for the national chairmanship It was on Kern's mo- tion in the national committee that Taggart was chosen chairman.
 The gubernatorial campaign of 1904 into which MT. Kern was practically drafted by party demands, had very bad effect on his health, and he was forced to relinquish his business for some time and go to another climate. He has now fully regained his health and strength and Is as potent as ever in Democratic councils of his state In 1905 he received the complimentary vote of the Democratic minority in the legislature for the United States senatorship

 Il am profoundly appreciative of the honor which has been conferred upon me-" said MT. Kern when seen shortly after the convention adjourned. T re- gard the honor all the greater because I did not seek the place, nor did my delegation"

Says She ls Sorry.

Indianapolis, July 13.-Mrs. John w. Kern was at her home, 1886 North Pennsylvania avenue when informed by a friend that her husband had been nominated as MT. Bryan's running mate.
 'I had hoped" she said, you would give me the good news that MT. Kern had not been nominated. I. of course. appreciate the honor conferred upon MT. Kern, but I cannot understand what conditions at Denver have arisen that would cause him to have accepted the nomination. MT. Kern has injured his health in past campaigns by his activities. and as he means vastly more to me than any political honors l am sincerely sorry, although l suppose should not say so."

ADDITIONAL PLANKS.
Trusts.


 As to the trusts a private monopoly is indefensible. and intOlerable, and we favor the vigorous enforcement of the criminal law against guilty trust magnateS and officials, and demand the enactment of such additional leg islation as may be necessary to make it impossible for a private monopoly to exist in the United States. Among the additional remedies we specify three: First, law preventing a du- plication of directors among competing corporations; second, license system, which will, without abriging the right of each state to create corporations, or it's right to regulate as it will for eign corporations doing business with In it's limits making 1t necessary for a manufacturing or trading corporation engaged in interstate commerce to take out a Federal license before it shall be permitted to control as much as 25 per cent of the product in which it deals, the license to protect the public from watered stocks, and to prohibit tn, control by such corpor- ation of more than 30 per cent, law compelling such licensed corpora tions to sell to all purchasers in all parts of the country on the same terms, after making due allowance for cost of transportation.
 Other Matters Favored.
 The platform further pledges the party to the enactment of a law to regulate the rates and services of telegraph and telephone companies doing an interstate business to the protection of all American citizens in all parts Of the world lawfully enti tied to such protection; demands full and regular territorial form of gov ernment for Alaska and Porto Rico; favors the application of the United States land and homestead laws tc Hawaii; favors Federal aid for build ing post roads; favors application ot plan of striot reciprocity with other nations in the matter of foreign pat ents, and treatment of inventors favors generous pension policyI ad vocates the establishment of a na tional buyeau of public health on lines not interfering with state health

 The house of representatives, as controlled in recent years by the Re- publican party, has ceased to be a de- liberative and legislative body. re- sponsive of the will of a majority of it's members, but has come under the absolute domination of the speaker, who has entire control of its deliber- ations and powers of legislation.
 Denver, July 13.-Following are ad' ditional platform blanks:
 Popular Election of Senators.
 We favor the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people and regard this reform as the gateway to other national reforms. Income Tax
 We favor an income tax as part of our revenue system and we urge the submission of constitutional amend ment specifically authorizing congress IO iCNy dHu COIltCt d ldN uDOu luulNlu- ual and corporate incomes, to the end that wealth may bear its proportion- ate share of the burdens of the Fed. eral government
 Merchan Marine.
 We believe in the up-building of the American and merchant marine with out new or additional burdens upon the people, and without bounties from the public treasury.
 Panama Canal.
 We believe the Panama canal will prove of great value to our country, and favor its speedy completion. Conclusion.
 The Democratic party stands for Democracy. The Republican party has drawn to itself all that is aris- tocratic and plutocratic The Demo- cratic party is the champion of civil rights. and opportunities to all; the Republican party Is the party of priv ilege and private monopoly. The Democratic party listens to the voice of the whole people and guages pro. gress by the prosperity and advance ment of the average man; the Repub- lican party is subservient to the com. paratively few, who are the benefi. ciaries of governmental favorites. We invite the cooperation of all regard less of previous political utilization or past differences who desire to pre- serve a government of the people by the people, and for the people, and who favor such an administration of the government as will insure, as far as human wisdom can, that each citi- zen shall draw from society Q reward commensurate with his contribution to the welfare of society.
