KERN CHARGES DOUBLE DEALING

Says Open Ballot Would Have Eiected-Him.

Will Have More to Bay Later. Indianapolis, Jan. 15. —The election of B. F. Shively as nominee for United States senator was followed by a statement from John W. Kern.

Says He Was Not Deceived. "I believe that thoughtful persons will find in the scenes of the past few days additional strong argument in favor of the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people. "I shall have something to say as to the interests which were back of the opposition to me, and as to the stories of double dealing and double crossing which are afloat. 1 have not been deceived as to the attitude of those interests and men. Their efforts to deceive me throughout the canvass were more amusing to me than otherwise. In due time the public shall know the whole story and my only purpose in making these things public will be to show these interests and these gentlemen that I was deceived at nc stage of the game by any of them. “The Democratic party in Indiana ought to maintain itself in power for many years. This will be possible only by cutting itself loose from the obnoxious interests which seek to control it arid following the counsels and advice of brave, true and patriotic men like Governor Thomas R. Mar shall, who has only at heart the welfare of the party and the interests of the state.”

Taggart’s Attitude. Thomas Taggart declared that he took absolutely no part in the senatorial contest. “1 want to say,” said Mr. Taggart, "that my feelings have been with Mr. Kern all through this race. I do not believe there is anything in these stories of double crossing. 1 believe every member of the Marion county delegation was loyal to Mr. Kern.” When slfown a copy of the Kern charges Mr. Shively refused to make any comments. Messages of congratulation were received from national Democratic leaders, among them W. J. Bryan. Mr. Shively was in conference with Governor Marshall at the state house following a call from the governor. Mr. Shively will return to his home at South Bend today.
