Kern is unfit for United States Senator say the prohibition republican press press of the state. They say that Kern charges the brewers with defeating him for senator last winter, and in the next breath they say the brewers are behind Mr. Kern for election by the next legislature. They say ne is a man of fine personal character but a democrat that is loyal to bis party. It is self-evident from the force of the arguments made that being a democrat is the chief offense, and to this, of course, Mr. Kern can do nothing but plead guilty. But being a democrat this year is going to enhance Mr. Kern's popularity, and already he is receiving the felicitations of men of all parties, who rejoice with him that he is to lead a triumphant party, and that he is to grace a seat in the senate of the United States. There he will continue to hold the confidence and the good will of the people, and in time even the prohibition republican press will be compelled to recognize that sentiment demands respectful treatment of a true and deserving man. The prohibition republican press is a close political corporation. It is a corporation whose chief stock in trade is politics, and of course there is nothing in politics unless those involved are on the winning side. The prohibition republican press therefore want to win, and if they could lay John W. Kern on the rack, they would have made telling inroads upon their only opposition and the political sky would brighten. Sly dogs, this prohibition republican press. But the life of John W. Kern is an open book. He is a man among men. He is true, honest, courageous, and the American people admire and will support true, honest and courageous men. For

| twenty years, to our knowledge, the brewers worked hand in glove with the republican party, and during all that time not an unkind word was registered against the blessed brewers by the self-contained prohibition republican press. Why? Because they helped them win elections, and wlnaing elections was doubling their stock in trade. Now they are fearful Chat they may lose. They see visions of brewers being for and against the democrats. They see unfitness In John W. Kern. They will continue to see streaks of yellow in everything and everybody that does not boost their political game. But the people know a thing or two in this campaign. With Hanly out re-enacting the option law, Watson out re-enacting the tariff law and Beveridge out dodging them both, the republican stalwart who attends all of the speeches will Tave a time telling which republican party he belongs to. —Columbia City Post. To a straight question put to Senator Beveridge by ex-Gov-ernor Hanly, "Do you favor the repeal of the county local option law?” Senator Beveridge answered, "No." That appears to be plain and direct enough for most people to understand. — Columbia City Mail. If Senator Beveridge meant “no,” why did he not say "no” in bis platform, adopted at his state convention, over which he presided, and which was completely Beveridgeized from the presiding officer down to the usher. If Senator Beveridge meant "no,” why did his friends on the resolution sommittee hold that committee in session an entire night fighting an endorsement of the county local option law. The platform speaks for itself and neither Senator Beveridge pr the prohibition republican press oi the state can make a foot ball of the temperance people of the state, especially those who are for temperance for the sake of temperance, and not for the sake of politics.
