KERN’S CAMPAIGN Not since Saint. Thomas A. Hendricks, in his gubernatorial campign in 1872, has any oadidate made such a notable cavass for Goveror of Indiana as that of the Hon John Worth Kern. It is notable in many respects. Mr. Kren possesses high intelectual qualifications. He is an I eminent orator. No Indianian I can make a better address. There is no rant about him. He says facts in such plain and concise language that all voters understand. His fairness in discussing the political issues has won the warmest praise from men of all parties. He pitched the canvass on a high moral and patriotic plane. He indulges in no billingsgate. If people expect abuse they need not go to hear Mr. Kern speak. If they xpect an intellectual treat they should be there. No Indianian is so well {Misted on state and national affairs. He has been a participant and close observer of state and national; politics for the last thirty years. He is a close student, and takes a patriotic pride in his state. He has always upheld the right and condemned the wrong. He has no malice in his heart, but charity for all. He is not quarreling er , abusing those who disagree with I him. His presentation of the polit-1 ical issues is convincing and masterly. To all of these can also be added his sunny disposition and, high moral character. All of these j qualities count for much, and are : making a profound impression on the voters of the state. Men of all shades of politics are highly complimentary of his magnificent campaign. He is a tower of strength to his party and many republican and independent votes will be cast for him. The Sentinel believes he will be elected, and assures the citi-! zenship of Indiana that the guber-. natorial office will be honored by a | patriot and statesman. A vote for Mr. Kern is a vote for a worthy candidate.—Sentinel. -- —- — "I firmly believe that Indiana: will return a plurality for Parker and Davis,” said Mr. Bryan in I ojiening his speech at New Albany, i “The observations made during the trip which I have just finished reveals a most encouraging state of ■

affairs. There isjlittle or no trace of dissatisfaction among the silver democrats and there is no reason for the gold democrats to feel dissatisfied. The evidences of unity I and enthusiam among the deraoi crate are so plentiful that it seems i that the only apparent hope for republican success would appear to lie in their polling the entire doubtful vote of the state.”—W. J. Bryan.. JUDGE GEORGE E. DOWNEY. Judge George E. Downey, of Aurora, nominee for Judge of the Supreme Court, was bora at Rising Sun in 1860, being a son of Judge Alexander C. Downey, for' many years one of the most able jurists on the supreme and circuit court benches. He graduated T --y.' v • • fe?" S V ■" ■ ■ pi'-' iA : I B ■, . r \ > JUDGE GEORGE E. DOWSF.T. from the public schools in 1876 and entered Eepauw University, from which he graduated in 1880. He immediately began the study of law under his father and one year late» was admitted to the bar. and after practicing at Rising Sun for six years, moved to Aurora. He was elected mayor of that city in 1594 and reelected In 1898. and in the latter year , was chosen president of the Indiana | Municipal League, which position he now holds. In 1903 he was nominated for judge of the Seventh Judicial circuit and was elected. He has proved a painstaking, upright judge, familiar with the law and just in its administration. and the nomination for judge of the Supreme Court came to him as a well-earned mark of confidence on the part of the people.
