seething mass of humanity that packed headquarters at the Denison hotel for two days before the llrs: call of the convention and then during that spectacular history-making period of the convention proper, is convincing evidence that the Indiana democracy is chuck full of life and that they wiU be satisfied with nothing short of a victory that is complete and decisive. The one hundred Adams county demo ocrats who attended were (Hied to the brim and running over with convention enthusiasm, and for months ts come will entertain their friends with the details of the stirring events that were so marked in the state convention of Ulb. The mantle of leadership was unanimously tendered and accepted bv i Governor Marshall. His success in having the convention endorse a candidate for the United States senate vindicates his position as the lead * of his party, and at the same time illustrates anew the ract that the people rule. He pinned his faith to the ; masses. He would have none of the .. .j,, _j_.ui J

-! old school methods of political JupI ! fiery, but Instead stated bis position f! clearly and trusted in the rank and 1 (lie of tns Indiana democracy, and the ! J result shows that be did not trust m ; vain. Hs won. In winning he not - only won his point but be won the enl tire convention and now It would be . hard to And a democrat In all Indiana that was not for him heart and soul ■ all the time All this but shows his > qualification fur leadership, and from -1 this time on they will back him to » i 1 sweet fare-you-well, because thev i! more than ever before believe In him. . i trust him, admire him. The endorsement of the Hon. John Worth Kern for senator was but a happy climax. There U not a democrat or a republican in all the broad state that does not know him for what he ia For thirty year* he has been a leader, a teacher and a preach er of true democracy, and there Is not a lamt upon his record. Qualified to grace a seat in the United State* senate and bavin* many umes earned the honor, the democrats of Indiana bow propose to honor n:m in the ocu* way they can. It will be a great privilege for the Indiana democracy to ratify the endorsement given to Mr Kern in the state convention. We doubt if ever before or agam a greater ovation was or will be paid any mas tv., was given to the next senator from Indiana by his -party «at« convention. It was a pleasing sight to witness the thousands there id sembied pay honor to their favorite son. Here sto Senator Kern. Hoa. Thomas Taggart won his honors in that convention and today as enjoys the distinction of more ami better friends than he ever had before. | He is a thoroughbred, and every one ' likes a game man no matter whether j he is engaged in politics or religion. Mr Taggart is game whatever else hr . is. But Mr. Taggart is a bigger and a better man tana many people thins him. It has been nothing short > of persecution the way the Indianap- | olis newspapers have created this disI ting-ashed democrat and we hope the

time may come when they will eat their words and I »r » tribute to the man they have so maligned. It was Thomas Taggart more than any otoer man that nominated John W. Kern for the senate, and be did It because be wanted Kern to have tt more than be wanted tt himself. All during thst convention Mr. Taggart < influence tett In behalf of the things (hit would beet tend to promote harmony and make democratic success the more possible. Senator Shively was given a great ovation and his speech ss permanent chairman of the convention was a gem of oratory and was sound to the core. .Although his senatorial life has been brief, yet the Indiana democracy is indeed proud of the record and the reception given this distinguished senator and democrat both in the senate and in the nation's capttoL The writer does not tntend to use the columns of the Democrat in any way to advance his own personal ambtticn. and we simply take advantage of this opportunity to thank the many democrats, *"4 republic*?*, as well, for their loyal support in the convention and their well wishes since the convention is over. There is nothing that makes one prouder of his existence than to have his friends and his neighbor*—those who know his faults sa well ss Ms virtues—five him the glad hand and wish Mm well. Decatur and Adams county have done this truly and sincerely, and whether elected or defeated we shall ever cherish and remember it as the one bright star in life* pathway. IMPORTANT.
