Indianapolis, Ind, July 14.-John
w Kern, nominated for the Vice
Presidency by the Denver conven-
ton, has been a prominent figure in
state politics for period of "a
years.
Mr.. Kern has always been
staunch party man. In the prelimi-
nary campaign of 1896, when there
was such a determined free silver
sentiment and it seemed inevitable
that the approaching Democratic
State Convention would indorse free
silver, he was a pronounced gold
man and entered freely into the fight
to create sentiment in the party
against the new political dogma.
When the state and National con-
ventions had spoken on the subject,
he declared his allegiance to the
party and went into the campaign
that followed and did his utmost TO
elect Bryan. His pre-convention ut
terances We're hurled as him by the
opposition press and by orators in
the hastings, but Kern took the

the most interested person in the en-
