Kern Loses Aqain.

John w. Kern of Indiana cannot get
over his habit of losing. Before his
nomination as Bryans running mate
last year his political record consisted
of several unsuccessful attempts to be-
come governor of Indiana and to go to
the United Safes Senate. Thus he was
well qualified for a place on the ticket
with the perennial Bryan, but when
Organism received its expected and
inevitable rebuke at the polls in No
velnber there was what appeared to be
ray of light for Kern in the fact that
the Democrats had captured the Indi-
ana legislature Surely the Hoosier
Democrats would be grateful to the
man who had sacrificed himself in the
forlorn hope of the national campaign!
Surely in their hour of triumph they
would send to the Senate the man for
whom they had voted when in the min
GRITTY.
So thought the country at large and
so thought John w. Kern, but the In
diana Democrats did not see it that
way. The Kern hoodoo was in active
operation and the plum of the senator
ship is gathered in by Benjamin f.
Shively. Mr.. Kern does not submit to
this latest defeat very gracefully and
arises to remark that he was beaten in
the caucus by "all sorts of treacheTy,
doubtful dealing and corrupt practi-
ces." Quite likely he is right, for that
is the traditional Democratic way, in
Indiana or elsewhere.
1t is too bad for Indiana and for the
Senate that Senator Hemmenway is to
go back to private life. He is a fine
type of public man, clean and strong.
whom the country can i'll afford to lose.
MIR. Shively, who will succeed him, is
a native of Indiana, So years OF age, a
lawyer by profession, who had training
in teaching and in newspaper work in
early life. He has served several terms
in Congress and, like Mr.. Kern, mas
record as an unsuccessful candidate
for the Indiana governorship and for
the Senate. He is a graduate of the
University Of Michigan and trustee
of Indiana State University. No doubt
he is as good a man for the Senate as
Mr.. Kern-perhaps a better one-but
MIR. Kern by his unhappy connection
with the Bryan candidacy had rather
gained the sympathy of the country.

expected. Two years ago, Portland
made to the State what was believed
to be generous offer for the honor OF
being the seat Of government. The
offer was made in good faith and the
city stood ready to live up to it. The
legislature declined it. Since then,
this city has had troubles of it's own.
The destruction of the City Hall has
made it necessary to build costly
municipal building and has also made
it desirable to enter upon other under
takings in order to make the surround
ings Of the City Building and the court
house afford a suitable setting for
these structures. Under such circum-
stances, Portland is not in condition to
renew the offer which was made and
declined Perhaps is would not have
been renewed in any event. Certainly
it will not be after the loss the city
sustained last winter In this sltua-
ton, Representative Rounds introduced
in the legislature a measure providing
for the enlargement of the State house
in Augusta or the erection OF State
Office building there. This action of
the Portland member is received as
notice to the State at large that Port
land is not an applicant for selection
as the capital of Maine. Perhaps we
may be pardoned for saying that, in
sense, it is more than that. The pre-
sentation of the resolve by Portland
man indicates that this city, its offer
having been declined, has no DISPOSE
ton to oppose action looking to suita-
BILE accommodations for the legislature
and the State officials. On the con-
trary, Portland believes that the State
of Maine should make adequate pro-
vision for housing it's lawmakers and
it's officials and for the preservation of
it's valuable records, regardless OF any
difference of opinion which may exist
as to which Maine city is best calcu-
lated to be the capital.
