Mrs. Kern Left OUT
Report that Mrs. John w. Kern,
widow of the late Senator Kern,
would not be selected as one of the
four women elegates-at-large to the
national convention at New York
City came as a surprise to many
delegates, as Mrs. Kern has been
active in seeking the honor and gen.
orally had been conceded the posi-
ton.
The sudden change in plans Of
the leaders was said to have been
due to the candidacy Of John w.
Kern Jr. for reporter of the
Supreme Court. This is said to have
lest Mrs. Kern the support of the
Taggart McCulloch delegates. Many
of them felt, according to stories,
that the Kern candidacy was started
by the Crittenberger adherents in
order to injure DR.. McCulloch's
chances for the gubernatorial 1omi-
nation by TIE argument that Marion
County had too many candidates in
the field for State offices.
