John w. Kern Issues State
ment on Senatorial Fight.
OPPOSED TO SECRET BALLOT
Former Candidate for Vice Presi-
dent Defends Charles A. Gauss, but
Iatur0 who Were Improperly In
fIuenced-WOrked TO Defeat Him.

indianapolis. July 27.-JOhn w. Kern,
candidate on the Democratic ticket OF last
year for Vice President gave out state
ment to-day IN which he virtually charges
that his defeat for the nomination of
United States Senator was brought about
by bribery in the caucus. Charles a.
Gauss is candidate for the mayoralty
nomination, and his opponents say that
ne voted against Kern in the Democratic
legislative caucus, Gauss being a Repre-
sentative from this county. Kern denies
Gauss was faithless, and adds:
I'm that contest certain interests made
fight for a secret ballot. In no other
way could my defeat be accomplished.
A majority OF the Democratic members
were pledged TO my support because their
constituents demanded 1t so that an open
ballot meant my election. With a secret
ballot there would be a cover for brib-
cry and other corrupt influences and tho
members thus improperly Influenced
might lie with impunity 10 me and 10
their constituents as to how they voted.
The vital and really deciding contest
was therefore on the question Of a secret

Mr.. Gauss was outspoken in his advo-
cacy Of an open ballot, but the PROPOSE
ton for & secret ballot was carried. As
a result. both men who were pledged
to my candidacy. were induced 70 vote
against me. Who were those men? Be

such evidence as would convict any Of
them In court. AS 20 the peridity Of
some OF them, I have sufficient evidence
for my own purpose, while as TO others,
I have strong and well-grounded sus-
plcions.
mir. Gauss was so crippled IN his right
hand at tho time that he could not write,
and all his ballots IN the caucus were
prepared by other members, whose testi-
mony corroborates his, and In this way 1
have the evidence positive and conclu-
slve as TO HIS absolute loyalty. There was
SO much deceit IN that caucus that
would be unnatural, indeed, ~ hestitated

supporters as Mr.. Gauss"
