 Now comes the report of the col IectOr of internal reyenue-clinching the proof of the march of civilization and enlightenment toward the land Of the midnight sun. It speaks the last word.

Lest you forget.
These are the charges made by John w. Kern, candidate for
United States senator on the democratic ticket. against United
States Senator B. F. Shively.
They were made Dec. 26. 1909. and published all over the
country.
"Forty-four democratic members of the legislature {
gave me pledges of their support-their constituents
required 1t. When I seemed sure of the nomination the
brewers suddenly manifested a lively interest in the
situation. It wa proposed that the democrats. meet
ing in caucus, cast a secret ballot. I understood what
that meant-pledged members of the legislature could
vote for the brewery candidate. whoever he happened
to be. and no one would know It. Eight men were pur-
chased and the second ballot went through. Il received
thirty-six votes and Benjamin F. Shively, attorney for
the brewers, was nominated. I think I know the names
of the eight men who were bought up"
Mr.. Kern has repeatedly since then reiterated the damning
charges. Since he wa made the nominee. he has been silent.
Not a move for an investigation has been made. The demo
cratic papers have nothing to say. More significant yet, not a
word has been heard from Senator Shively asking for an in
vestigation of the charge that suries his honor and pnlories him
before the country as the beneficiary of a great crime.
