10 WITHDRAW NAME
Former Vice Presidential Candi-
date Forced to Accept.

Indianapolis, April 29.-The Indiana
Democratic convention endorsed John
W.. Kern, Democratic candidate for
vice president in 1908, as the can
didate for the United States senate.
The opposition made grim fight,
Under the leadership of Thomas Tag
CART, former chairman of the Demo
cratic national committee and himself
a candidate for the nomination, but,
in defeat, it Joined heartily with the
element headed by Governor Marshall
and John E. Lamb, the latter also an
aspirant for the senatorship, in
shouted reclamation of Kern as the
party's candidate.
When Governor Marshall, as TEN.
porary chairman. called the conven-
ton to order the floor and the galleries
Of the hall were packed, and the rival
factions whose leaders had been in
conference all night, were prepared
for the decisive conflict.
The crisis of tumult sprang up
sharply when John e. Lamb arose to
speak for the plan and declared that
he was Externally opposed to Taggart-
ISM" Kisses and groans filed the
hall and drowned the cheers of his
own Terre Haute and Vigo county
delegation of sixty and his other sup
porters.
When the tumult subsidized he de-
clared unflinchingly that the conven-
ton should nominate him cor some
better man." Senator Shively' called
for the report of the committee on
resolutions, which was read and
adopted as the platform.
Kern made his way to the platform
in an effort to withdraw his name, but
his protest was in vai~, Taggart shout
ing that the Indiana Democracy want
ed Kern in the senate" and Kern re-
tired before the cheers. Then the
landslide for him started and he was
quickly nominated.

It's hard to satisfy the Minneapolis
Journal. The Journal thought the
Indiana democrats we're going to
nominate Taggart for senator, and
moralized thereon in familiar terms,
that the democrats always made mis-
takes at the right time to insure re-
publican success. But the democrats
repudlated Taggart, and nominated
Kern, a clean, able man who was tor
tariff reform when Beverage was talk
ing for high tariffs. and who did not
need to wait for change in public
sentiment to revise mis- opinions.
But still the journal, grudgingly adj
uniting that the Indiana democrats
made no mistake, thinks they have
helped Beverage. First, they were to
do the one thing that would make
republican success a certainty. Hav.
ing not done that-why, the re-.
publ,cans will anyway.

The development leagues in the
various counties of central and north
ern Minnesota have common ground
on which to meet. They need not
assert independence of the rest of the
state, but they can maintain and
insist on equality and fairness IN
legislative action, and that the needs
of this section be not disregarded. The
first essential is just and honest
reapportlonment, not m d Q 70 r
partisan purposes but to give tie
people the representation which of
right IS theirs. Re-apportionment is
the first thing needed, and every
candidate for the senate and house
should be pledged on the question.

,lnzhis Interview IN estefday' Press.
Dr.. Morrison, who proposes to see
what legal redress he can get, declares
he was defeated BY the unlimited
use Of money which was distributed
by the men who are known in Bar
Harbor as tho Hale ring, and the
caucus was conducted In the most
barefaced and interruptions manner
and without any regard to my rights
or those OF the republicans who voted
for me. 80 II
DR.. Morrison goes into details, and
adds that he himself saw some Of the
Hale ring. running about the voting
place with money IN their hands and
they made no effort to conceal what
they were doing. There are many
of the very best citizens of Bar
Harbor, clergymen, professional men
and prominent merchants who will tell
you the same thing. One man told
me 1T was the most disgraceful ex-
hibition that he had ever seen or
heard of. and that he didn't believe it
possible that such caucus as this
could be held north of the Mason ana
Dixon llne.' All this is interesting,
but really there is little occasion for
such profound and shocked surprise.
This Bar Harbor episode is simply the
latest illustration of republican
methods that have long been more or
less in evidence. The use of money
and liquor or other influences at re-
publican caucuses IS an oft-tOld tale
