TAFT FAV0RS THE PLAN.
Republicans Will Publish Names Of
Campaign Contributors.

Hot Springs, Va, July lat has
been made clear here that publicity of
campaign funds will be the leading
feature of the Republican campaign
this year.
Judge Taft had extended talks with
Chairman Hitchcock and with George
r. Sheldon, treasurer of the national
committee, and the necessity for the
strictest possible compliance with the
New York law in relation to the pub
licity of campaign funds of the ma
tional committee was the chief topic.
Referring to suggestions that the
Republican party might receive funds
outside of New York and not include
them in the report of the national
treasurer Mr.. Taft replied promptly
that It was possible to commit per-
Jury in such a case, but he secuted
the idea that the purpose of giving
publicity to the funds of the party in
the coming national campaign Is not
entirely sincere.
Mr.. Sheldon also declared that the
New York law in respect to all the
funds that come to the national com
mittee, in whatever states they may
be collected, will be published with
the names of the donors.

Kern of iidiana.

Indianapolis, July 13.-John w.
Kern was born in Alto, Howard coun-
ty. Ind, Dec 20, 1S49. His forefath-
srs were natives of Virginia and
neighbors of Thomas Jefferson. At
An early age Kern attended normal
school at Kokomo, Ind. He taught
school for a while and then went to
Ann Arbor to study law. He received
his degree from the University OF
Michigan before he was old enough to
vote and at twenty-one was nomi-
mated for representative from Howard
county, making a strong canvass In
Republican bailiwick. Subsequently
he was elected city attorney OF Ko-
komo for six terms, though the coun-
ell was always Republican. In 1884
he was elected reporter OF the su-
preme and appellate courts OF Indiana:
After moving to Indianapolis he was
sent to the state senate In 1892 and
became an acknowledged leader In

senate until 1895. From 1897 to 1901
he was city attorney OF Indianapolis.
In 1900 he was nominated for gov
ernor ON the Democratic ticket, but

whose firm friend he was. Kern was
again nominated for governor In 1904,

however but thinks that this is not

views public.
He did not submit a minority re-

realized that to do so would accom-

Judge Parker also intimated that he
would do some talking on the stump,
but failed to state definitely what his
attitude would be. While Judge Par

It is known that his chief objection to
the platform is directed to the trust
plank. He does not like the idea of
pledging the Democratic party to en-
actment of law giving to the govern
ment control over the products OF
trading corporations.
Judge Parker regards this as an
exceedingly dangerous doctrine and
one calculated TO lead to the eventual
demand for control by the government

made his big fight In the platform
