WILLIAM J. BRYAN AND JOHN W. KERN. THE LABOR IS ALL OVER. Bryan and John W. Kern. Indiana's favorite democrat, have been named at Denver as the standard bearers for the new democracy in what is undoubtedly to be the greatest political battle in modern times. The convention just over in comparison with the republican convention at Chicago double-discounted it as an inspiring stage spectacle with all the settings in perfect harmony, except, of course, the Guffey incident. Mr. Bryan enters upon his third battle with tremendous advertising. Two defeats in previous campaigns and the mellowing of radicalism that Experience alone brings give him a great prestige with the common people. It must not be forgotten that over six million people out of thirteen voted for the peerless leader when he was last defeated. Most of them Idolized him and it is hard to see where Mr. Bryan has done anything since then to make him lose any of those votes. It is true the platform upon

which he standa is still radical but it may be said that radicalism dominates both parties today; in one it is tempered to saner ideas and policies than in the other and held in check. There is apparently no party

of conservatism today. But there

to have proper representation in the government and politics of the country for it is essential to the public welfare and to those who look beyond the immediate present there is ample food for thought in the future. Whether the ticket named by the democrats is the strongest

one they could put up is a question for

hustings. The nomination of John V. Kern will gratify the patriotic Indianian, but whether his nomination will swing Indiana back into the dem

ocratic column Is a grave question. It is true that he has been twice beaten Indiana, but other strong men have Indiana is claimed by democrats as a into the Hanly majority two years

presidential nominee is a man of sufficient calibre to get Into alignment with

Bryan, the prophet of democracy is dubitable, but of course, he has worshipped at the Bryan shrine. John W. Kern is a kindly and a popular man in Indiana

lbut he cannot be considered a big man.

two. If Bryan and he were elected and death should claim Bryan, it is hard to think of John W. Kern fitting in the presidential chair of this great nation. Perhaps it was political opportunism that nominated Mr. Kern. He has not

been the discoverer of new theories. with the conservatives and has never

little question but that democracy would have been far happier today if Judge Gray had been nominated in place of Mr. Kern, but he refused to accept. He has nothing in common with Bryanism and he stands for principles that do not shift with the winds of public opinion. He believes in the judicial system of the country and the equality of individuals under the law. His type of democracy has been obliterated under these years of Bryan domination. There would be no "hurrah" appeal in Gray's name- He would beguile conservative support and that was of course why he was wanted. Mr. Kern stands in favor with both wings of the party and he did not need to stultify his principles by accepting the nomination, so that Mr. Bryan

cannot say that he is not associated is to be a great campaign without doubt.

time democrats back into the fold remains to be seen. The Cleveland-Parker democrats have been roughly treated. It will be interesting to watch their course. The big Cleveland picture that hung in the convention was a slap at Bryan. Tbe slightest recognition of the public services of Cleveland is a slap at Bryan, conversely the nomination of Mr. Bryan is a slap at Cleveland. Bryan more than once denounced Cleveland as a bunco-steerer, whereas Cleveland never made a pretense of denying the fact that he regarded Bryan as a faker and a demogogue, the debaucher of an old and honored party and a menace to his country. Cleveland's friends remember these things but they may forget them at polls anyway. Mr. Bryan's perception leads him to believe that he will be elected and the wildfire of enthusiasm that scared the republican party into spasms eight years ago has again begun to sweep the country'- The voters of the nation have a multitude of grave questions to wrestle with. They will study them for themselves. Both parties have a lot of explaining to do. To use the phrase of the street Arab, the party that wins at the polls in November must be "there with the goods." It is to be a momentous battle and neither party will come out of it unscathed. The lover of his country, his family and his pocketbook will do well to take plenty of time in which to make up his mind. There will be less of partisanship than ever before. The independent voter is the man of the hour.

Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright, 3908, by Edwin A. Nye. ONE OF GOD'S HEROES. He was a Mexican. He was a laborer. He wore ragged clothes. He was also a hero. Philip Oritz, Mexican laborer, was employed as a section hand on the San Francisco branch of the Santa Fe railroad. One day after working on a piece of the track one man of the gang whose business it was to remove from beneath the rails a .heavy Jack forgot to do so. The heavy vestibuled limited came thundering along. Oritz saw that if the jack remained where it was there might be a frightful wreck. Without considering his own peril he leaped fearlessly on the track, hastily jerked the jack from its place and hurled it aside. The next Instant he was struck by the engine and cut to pieces. The train swept on, its occupants heedless of the mangled body that lay by the side of the track. On board the limited the passengers chatted and lolled and read and smoked, totally Ignorant of the fact that the section man's life had been given for theirs. Well, he was only "a greaser." But there's more of it. Down in a small village in Mexico the man had a wife and children. Al though a peon, he was unusually Intel ligent and very industrious. He was constantly receiving letters from home and was very proud of his little family. He had saved from his meager wages quite a sum of mouey. He intended going back to his home town in a few days to engage In business and to educate his children. He was But if you can't see the pathos, the pity of It all, why tell more or picture the grief in the little Mexican hut? Is your heart big enough to respond to the heroism of a Mexican peon? Is your mental horizon wide enough to know that God hnth made of one blood all the nations to dwell together on the face of the earth? Can your soul feel a thrill of pride in the death sacrifice of a brother In brown? Then take off your hat to the bloody bundle of rags by the side of that railroad track and understand that under the mangled bronzed skin of that little Mexican once beat the true heart of one of God's own heroes. He was a Mexican. He was a laborer, but He was also a hero. 1S67, and was appointed ensign December 18, 1868.

IN POLITICS

Denver, Colo., July 10. John E Lamb of Terra Haute, Ind., is tonight prominently mentioned for chairman of the democratic national committee. The skillful manner in which Mr. Lr.mh, during the convention just closed, handled the vice presidential campaign of John W. Kern has made him prominent in the party and his friends are strongly urging him as the most abbman to handle the national campaign. No definite selection of a chairman will bo made until after the members of the national committee have conferred with Mr. Bryan at Lincoln nevt week. It is known, however, that Mr. Lamb would be acceptable to Mr. Bryan, who has been, it Is said, strongly Impressed by the work of Mr. Limb, not only as a manager of Mr. Kern, but by his work on the committee on resolutions. Mr. Lamb was for years a law partner of the late Senator Voorhees. Falrview, Lincoln, Neb., July 10. When he received the news of the nomination of J. W. Kern for vice president Mr. Bryan said that his views on the nomination could best be expressed In the telegram which he sent to Mr. Kern. He is not only pleased with the nomination, but pleased that it was mede with such unanimity. There were a number of persons whom he counted as available and Kern was always included in this list. Mr. Kern and Mr. Bryan have been political an personal friends for many years. The following is the telegram: "Hon. John W. Kern, Denver, Colo : Accept my warmest congratulations. Tour nomination gratifies me very much. We have a splendid platform, and I am glad to have a running mate in such complete harmony with the p'atform. Stop off and see us on your way east. "WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN." New York, July 10. Eugene W Leake, democrat, member of congress from the sixth district of New Jersey, wrote today to William IT. Taft, announcing he will vote for Mr. Taft, and offering his services to the republican nominee during the comping campaign. Mr. Leake's letter follows: "Jersey City, July 10. William H Taft. Hot Springs, Va. My Dear Mr. Taft: I cannot subscribe either to the candidate or the platform of the Denver convention. The conservative citizens of this country, neither reactionary nor representatives of predatory wealth or special interests, who desire a rigid enforcement of the law with equal Justice, must look to you for protection against the wave of radicalism and class prejudice which will follow the Denver convention. You will have my vote on election day, and If, during the campaign, my services will be of any value to your national committee, I will cheerfully tender them. "EUGENE W. LEAKE." Lafayette, Ind., July 10. At a celebration here tonight in honor of Bryan and Kern, Harry Sweet, aged 12, was perhaps fatally injured by the premature explosion of fireworks. Sparks fell Into boxes of explosives, and the latter shot into the crowd around the platform. Two giant skyrockets struck young Sweet in the throat. Two ether lads were injured and several women fainted. Doctors say Sweet cannot recover. Indianapolis, July 10. The Indiana Democratic club, accompanied by a large crowd of citizens, preceded by a band and carrying transparencies and flags, marched to the Kern residence on North Pennsylvania street tonight and paid their respects to Mrs. Kein. Judge Gavin made a short speech, in which he congratulated the club on the honor that had come to one of Its members. In the crowd were a number of republicans, personal friends of the nominee, who seemed to feel mu?h real pleasure over his nomination. Denver, July 10. "Tadles and gentlemen of the convention," said Danie! F. Cohalan of Tammany, when he aro.-e to second the nomination for New York of John W. Kern. He was the first speaker 1n the convention, the first in all the galaxy of oratorical wonders and spellbinders, to address the ladies of the convention since the gavel of Tom Taggart fell last Tuesday morning. Cohalan was right. Every other speaker had been forgetful. "Gentlemen of the convention," tho old-time address, has been the rule cf all ungallant and forgetful speakers. How could they forget that they ladiei were present, real woman delegates from the state of Colorado. But Cohalan did not forget. It remained for the uncouth, the much assailed and coarse caricatured Tammany tiger to bow and smile and gallantly say: "Ladies and gentlemen of the convention." The women delegates cheered and then the statesmen who have contributed to the flood of oratory here kicked thems-'

MARSHALL DOESN'T APPROVETWO PLANKS Declamation Against Railroads is Net Satisfactory to Candidate for Gov.

VIEWS OF IflDIM NOMINEE Believes That the Railroads of Indiana Are Legitimate Enterprises, and Says So. Denver, July 10. Thomas p.. Marshall, the democratic nominee for governor f Indiana. watcN-,1 the resolutions committee cloudy, and when the committee finished its work there wasi a portion of the platform that Mr. Marshall thinks will not be satisfactory to the democrats of Indiana. In fact, a number of Indiana politicians, headed by Thomas Newkirk. formerly of Rushville. endeavored to keep from the platform the kind of a plank affecting railroads that the committee aoopted. Said Mr. Marshall: "I do not object to the Platform ns a wbnle onH v j lieve that it speaks the t ruth.' I think, j however, it would have been wise to differcntiat..- between alleged railroad owners who seek to water stock and deceive the public, and the legitimate railroad enterprises of the country. K believe the railroads of Indiana are legitimate enterprises, and I will not recede from my proposal to give them, their employes and the public each representation on the state railroad commission. The ISnnk Deposit Plank. "In my judgement the platform should have declared alone for the guarantee of bank deposits and not for that and postal banks as well. If the public is assured that Its deposits are safe, it Is satisfied with the present banking system. These are problems. however, which, !n my pudgment. are not of vital Interest as far as the cam paign in Indiana Is concerned and It must be understood that aplatform must be understood that a platform must always be the consensus of opin ion of many men, rather than the Ipse dixit of the individual citizen. One thing Is sure, the delegates are voting their sentiments and the party ought to be satisfied with the results of the work of the platform committee." Mr. Mnrxhall Before the Cttinmlrtee. Mr. Marshall appeared before the committee on resolutions early today and protested against the p'ank relating to railroads. He arjrued In favor Of the anti-injunction plank as printed in Monday's News, and he also paid some attention to postal savings banka and national bank deposits. Mr. Marshall called the committee's attention he said the convention should not fail to the fact that Indiana w'll be a battleground In the comle.g campaign and he said the convention should not fail to take notice of that fact. Close attention was given Mr. Mashall'a speech. WINNIPEG EXHIBITION OPENS. Winnipeg, Man., July 11.
