WILL He MAKE THE
RACE FOR CONGRESS
Speculation as to Kuhn'S Atti-
tude Toward Accepting
The Nomination.
NOT WILLING TO SAY.
CLAIMS THAT HE JUST QUIT ONE
CAMPAIGN AND is TIRED AND
WILL MAKE NO DECISION FOR
SOME TIME.

In an interview with staff CORES
pondent of an indianapolis newspaper
the Rev. T. II. Kuhn, OF this city,
states he has made no decision as to
congressional race in the Sixth dis
trict. He will reach some conclusion
within a few days and if he agrees to
take on the Congre SsiOnal harness
again, he will go into the race at once
and begin an aggressive campaign
against w O. Barnard. The Indiana
polls newspaper writer says:
Thus far Mr. Kuhn has been the
only name mentioned in connection
with the place, and it is generally UNI
derstood among the democrats of the
district that an effort will be made 10
smother any other bOoms that may be
started later. With the preacherpOli-
tician on the ticket the democrats be-
lieve they will have an equal chance
with the republicans of carrying the
district, but they would not be so op-
| timistic with another INFESTED nOmi-
| nee.
Mr.. Kuhn was the nominee in the
last congressional race, and he made
such inroads then upon the normal re
publican majority Of the district
against James r. Watson that hopes
are entertained he would be able to
defeat any other republican nominee
| Judge Barnard, who won the exciting
contest at Shelbyville yesterday, is
not considered by the democrats as an
easy opponent. The judge. they say
is above reprOach personally, has a
clean record in politics, will make a
strong campaigner. and in all will be
worthy opponent for any nominee
the democrats may put into the con
| test.

DISTRICT CONVENTION.

The Shelbyville convention was
disappointment TO US in more ways
than one, az everyone will realize VINO
has followed district politics through
the columns Of the Palladium during
the past two months In the first
place the break from Campbell was a
regrettable and ill-timed incident and
served no good TO Wayne county. 1t
placed Wayne in the position of being
the first county TO break from it's can
didate, a fact that can not be much
relished when it is considered that ev-
en- the smallest county in the district,
Union, with only five delegates, re-
manned true to Charles Stivers until
he released his delegation. Wayne
should have done the same and had
she done so the outcome Of the con
vention would in all probability rave
been different.
In the second place the successful
candidate was not the man whom we
supposed would be chosen. We knew
Barnard had strong organization
working for him but we also felt sure
the party workers of the district
knew his weakness as a Campaigner
too we'll to allow him to secure the
plum. AS the republican organ we
have the best interests of the party
at heart and not the interests of any
man and for that reason we did what
we could to discourage the candidacy
of Barnard. We have no regrets for
that action for we believe that had our
efforts been successful the republican
Ter sailing at the polls next Novem-
Der.
Between now and November the re
publican organization has its work cut
out for it. The democrats in this dis
before and the prospects of hard tus
sic are apparent. Unmindful of wheth
er or not the Shelbyville convention
may have left some sore spots with
some of us it is the duty of all of us
to forfeit such things and unite as we
were never before united, in order tC
maintain republican supremacy in the
old Sixth district. Our advice to re
publicans who are not satisfied witt
the selection of Barnard is to forge,
that feeling and work just as hard fol-
him as though he had been theil
choice. We believe in opposition but
let such opposition have it out before
the nomination and afterwards worl
for the success of the party.
