When His Aim Was Poor.

A story illustrative of Kern's dispo-
sition to grow FESTIVE under disap-

When he was member OF thee state

which he felt a great personal interest,

Family Socially Prominent.

The Kern family Is prominent So
cially In Indianapolis. Mrs. Kern is a
brilliant woman, endowed with a live
~ wit, and the Kern home b the GEN.
ter of a refined circle compcsld of the
most intellectual people of the notably
intellectual capital of Indiana.
1t is no secret that the Kern boom
has been the particularly pet hobby of
the Democratic chairman, Tom Tag
CART. who announced to his friends on
the eve Of his departure for Denver
that he should never return unless
John Kern were given the nomination
for the vice presidency. 1t has long
been known in Indiana political circles
that Taggart has always considered
his friend to be first class presidential
timber. and he saw no especial reason
why he should not be given first place
on the ticket II the Nebraska man
failed to make good. Taggart's deter
mination to promote the advancement
OF his friend was the cause OF much
merriment at Denver, although those
who are personally acquainted with
the nominee are of the opinion that
Kern is big enough to justify the

William Jennings Bryan proposes
to conduct his campaign through
the press and not by making
speeches. Good idea that. If "Lit-
tie Joe" Brown Of Georgia could
win the governorship of his state
by adopting such methods, certain
ly it would appear that Bryan
ought to win the Presidency of the
United States.

There is NO twilight zone between
the nation and the State i'm which ex-
plotting interests can take refuge
from both, and my observation is that
most, not all, but most, of the con-
tentions over the line between nation
and State are traceable to predatory
corporations which are trying to
shield themselves from deserved pun
ishment, or endeavoring 10 prevent
needed restraining legislation.
Within twenty-four hours the
President had adopted the metophor
of the twilight zone, and it has
passed equally into literature and into
politics. 1t is a more restrained
phrase, more poetic possibly. then the
Bryan of 1896 might have used. At
that time he would hove been more
likely to have said that there was not
a No Mans Land. But to him advanc-
ing years and more cosmopolitan
experience have brought also a literary
taste which finds expression now in
all his platform utterances. From

Redhot Campaigner.

The gubernatorial campaign of 1904,
into which Mr.. Kern was practically
drafted by party demands, left him in
an impaired physical condition, and he
was obliged to relinquish his business
activities for some time and 60 away
from home to recuperate. He con-
Quoted a whiriwind campaign that
year. making a great number Of
speeches and travelling over a greater
part Of the state. He is regarded as Il
redhot campaigner and Is an orator OF
force and .eloquence. He was the
friend Of Hendricks and voorhees, and
served with those great political lights
In many well fought battles.
Mr.. Kern is above the middle height,
Of slight build and active nervous
temperament. An able constitutional
lawyer, he arraigns the present Re-
publican administration severely for
usurpation Of power and the state adj
ministration for its enactment OF the
50 called ripper" bill, which he claims
was used for partisan purposes by the
Republican governor. Mr.. Kern Is

NEW FACES ON THE

POLITICAL STAGE
Every four years sees new faces and
new favorites coming upon the stage
New issues mn are lw ~, teatur of
national conventions. There is gener-
ally an hour for "reminiscences. no
matter what the strain may be in
forcing this or that result There is
always time for talking over the old
days, but the tradition of early events
does not have TIE Influence it had in
years past. The spectacular and bril-
liant advent of William J. Bryan at
the Chicago Convention did mu ;h TO
make the national political CONVENTION
more of a direct representative gath
ering than ever before.
! On looking over the thousard dele
gates at the national political conven-
ton, one usually finds typical rep
resentation of the American .>eople.
The most pathetic sight s to see an
old leader gradually losing his grin,
and new leaders, jumping into the
stilrLps and run ing away with the
convention. There is always large
representation of foreign ambassadors
and diplomatic agents of every nation,
who find national political conven-
ton an unrlvaIled opportunity for
measuring the true proportion of rep
resenative government. The ranks of
the PIONEER Republicans are thinning
fast, and although at It's convention
there have been men who particlp-
tated in the first campaign of the Re
publican party in 1856 traditi IN and
party record had little influence upon
the convention of 1908. 1t was a
struggle ever men and measures and
problems of present day Importance.

ing established a reputation for ability
and uprightness In a community which
was so opposed to him In political
views, and he accepted the situation
and devoted himself to the task Of
building up his business. It was not
long until he had arrived at a legal
-eminence which seemed to him suf1-
Client to warrant flight into the polit-
ical field. With this end In view he
came out as o candidate for the legis-
lature and ut once entered on a vigor-
Gus campaign. Although the circum-
stances of the case did not seem to Jus
tify the experiment and all his friends
were opposed to the venture, he ac-
tually came within few votes of Sc
curing the election. He carried the
city In which he lived, but could not
secure the country districts. 1t was
actually great triumph for the young
Democratic lawyer, and 1t added i'm
mensely to his reputation as a man Of
nerve without In any way detracting
from his character.
In 1878 Kern was elected city attor-
ney of Kokomo, and when his term
expired he was accorded a reelection.
While serving In this capacity he made
an excellent record. During his two
terms law and order were dominant,
and 1t became a current saying in Ko-
homo that there was no necessity to
bolt the door as long as Kern was on
the watch.
In the state election Of 1884 Mr..
Kern was elected reporter Of the
supreme court on the Democratic tick
ct. In this responsible position he
proved most efficient and conscientious
and won many powerful friends. At
the close Of his term he settled In In
dianapolis and soon became closely
identified with the business interests
and policies. Of that growing capital
He was elected to the state senate in
1892 and did admirable service in the
legislature. From 1907 to 1901 Mr..
Kern was city attorney Of indianapolis
under Mayor Tom Taggart, the nation
al chairman Of the Democratic party.
He took a very prominent part In the
great political battle. Of 1896 and was
identified with the fortunes of Mr..
Bryan In the state Of Indiana.
