Declare That Col. Conn Will Not be a Candidate For Governor But Hearst Leader Says That He Will.

W. P. Gleason, the general superin

tendent of the mills and the man who Is referred to by every one as "the

man who does things." made a brief

speech In which he welcomed the passengers on the boat to the mills. He

then directed that the first scoopful of ore be taken from the boat.

The marvelous unloading machinery

was extended over the boat, a mons

ter steam shovel, which looked like an

enormous pair of tongs with the hand

les tied together, was operated by one

man. who extended it over the boat

and lowered it into the hatches and

by another, which had his station in

the handle of this enormous "spade'

and regulated the opening and closing

of the two scoops, the shovel descended into the hull and secured its first

load of ore and then taking the one

ton bite over to the conveyors it de

posited it there and the motions of unloading the great boat had been gone

through. Prooeiwlon Moved Down Broadway.

The crowds then left the boat and

walked the mile and a half to the town site of Gary, where the speaking was resumed on the steps of the aGry hotel. At the entrance to the city, or

at the gates of the mills, the guests of honor were placed in cartages and formed a procession which moved down

Broadway.

The procession was headed by the Illinois naval reserve band, the cadets

from the training ship Dorothea, a de

tachment of regular marines from the

Wolverine, the force from the general

offices of the company and the mem

bers of the Gary Commercial club.

The parade moved down Broadway

to the Wabash tracks and then return

In Cook county In the candidacy of Jake Kern as he is more popularlyknown and lilo frlendn are putting In

their bent Uckn for him In order that

he may land the nomination he ardently seeks.

Jacob J. Kern, the one prominent candidate for state attorney at the democratic primaries August 8. 1D08, is

a native Chtcagoan. He was born in

Chicago on January 10 ,163, and went

to school in his boyhood at St. Peters

German Catholic school at Clark and I'olk streets. He worked at the trade of stereotyper before he was fourteen years old. While still working at his trade he attended Northwestern university as a law student. He has been a member of the Chicago Bar for twenty years and numbers hundreds of Chicago attorneys as his warm personal friends, and as his enthusiastic supporters in his candidacy. His experience in the office of city attorney from 1S90 until 1S92, and as state attorney from 1S92 until 1S96 made him a host of devoted adherents among the members of the legal fraternity. Never Weighed and Found Wanting. As a man Mr. Kern is one of the most

democratic and companionable of citizens; as a friend he has never failed cnyone; as a staunch upholder of the liberty of the citizen he has followed ii the footsteps of his father. Anton Kern, who left Germany in 1S4S with many others to seek liberty In America. As a. friend of. organized labor he has been well known lie is now an honorary member .of Chicago Stereotypers union No. 4. which recently pledged its support to him in the coming contest at the primaries. Earnn 111 Popularity. Able, genial, a staunch friend, a generous foe, a public-spirited and libertyloving citizen. Jacob J. Kern has earned his popularity by those qualities of heart and head which always win

with men. and his triumphant election at the primaries to be held August 8, and his subsequent election to the office of states attorney of Cook county on November 4 next will place In that-responsible position a man who. is in word and in deed a friend of the people, a lawyer of ability, and an official who will administer the office without fear or favor in the interests of all the citizens of the county. Mr. Kern's views as to the Sunday law are well known. He stands pledged against any attempted enforcement of this "dead and buried statute." He has not attempted to evade this issue but has met it squarely and boldly. His competitors for the nomination have been silent as to this momentous issue. This is only one .evidence of his frank and courageous nature. He does not believe in the "Sunday law,'1 and therefore he has taken his stand against it regardless of results.

right hand man in Indiana of William

Randolph Hearst and the probable vice presidential candidate on the Independence ticket. Mr. Neal did not quibble or use doubtful words but simply said: "You are authorized to announce on my authority, that the Independence party will choose as its candidate for governor, Col. Charles G. Conn, of Elkhart." Mny Not Accept. The Independence party may do this but there is no assurance from Mr. Neal or anyone else that Col. Conn will accept the honor forced on him. The Thirteenth district man is now at the Saint Catallna island catching big fish. So far as known, none of the Hearst men in Indiana have communicated

and that each time he failed to appear. On both occasions disappointment was felt by some fifteen or twenty persons, who would have been attracted by the announcements. It is recalled that a big bunch of advertising was done the second time to get a crowd togothre, but that in all there were not more than two dozen persons at the conference held In the English hotel and conducted by Charles Walsh, of Iowa, western manager for Hearst. Ilann't Many Followers. The truth is, the Independence party has no followers hereabouts, and efforts to make the contrary appear the truth have failed.

politics. When Conn was a candidate fore the Democratic nomination for governor, he spent thousands of dollars in distributing literature, most of which attacked Taggart and held him responsible for the craotlc condition of the party within the state. Whether Conn would leave his party, however, and join forces with Hearst, is another matter. Didn't Get a Peekln. Conn did not get much of a lookin at the Democratic State convention, before which he was a candidate, but

back and commends them for keeping

things boiling and promoting the in

terests of the party. There are three

or four men claiming loyalty to the New Yorker and they no doubt are be

ties to Join them.

It is a safe bet that Hearst will not attend the State convention and that

Conn will not he nominated for

governor. The advertising has been

gained, however, and that is as much perhaps, as anybody expected.

to those who believe in the right for the young mechanic, the clerk, the schoolboy to innocent amusement in the open lots and prairies on Sunday, to those who resent the effort to compel the people of Cook county to stay indoors and twirl their thumbs for amusement on Sunday, Mr. Kern appears as a champion of guaranteed right; the right given by tha Constitution of the 1'nlted States to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Mr. Kern iR married and lives with his wife and two children at 2945 Michigan avenue. His home life, his business and professional life have been marked by a devotion to his family, has friends and his chosen profession.

He is an ideal candidate, and a sure winner. Every liberty-loving man in Chicago and Cook county is in full accord with him as to his Sunday-closing views, and his open stand against this mummied absurdity has won him universal applause. Vote for Jacob J. Kern on August 8, and you will be voting for a friend of liberty, a friend of organized labor and a friend of the people.

PRINCE REVIEWS TROOPS. Qubec. July 24. The historical peg-

eants that have occupied the center of

the stage thus far in the Tercentenary

celebration gave way today in favor of

the military features of the program. Beginning with the firing of salutes at sunrise this morning there followed in rapid succession a series of military

and naval events and ceremonies that proved as interesting and attractive to the general public as any of the feat

ures of the celebration up to date.

The great event of the morning was

yho work hard six days ia the week, the military review on the Plains of

Abraham, attended by the Prince of Wales and his staff and many other

distinguished guests of the occasion.

Between ten and fifteen thousand

troops took part, representing all

branches of the service. Following the

review there came this afternoon an

other event that is regarded ns one of the most important of the week. This is the dedication of the National Battle

fields Park, which will be attended by

the Prime of Wales, who will hand to

the Governor-Genera 1 the title deeds

of the Plains of Abraham and the fort The setting aside for a national park

South Chicago, the band struck up

Dixie Land, and as the crowd surged

around the musicians Cy Howell, the South Chicago manufacturer, was pulled to the front and made to do several

turns at clog dancing. This continued for several minutes during the stamping and hand-clapping of the laughing crowd. After that Abe Ottenheimer was brought to the foreground where he gave a display of his nambleness to the great amusement of the

spectators. As soon as "The Wearing

of the Green" was struck tip by the band, Jim Rogers, the great Gary Irishman, did a turn in memory of his native country.

When the automobiles first arrived Inside of the steel yards at South Chicago two of them did not follow the leader and became lost. They quickly found that they were on the wrong course, however, and turned about to Eighty-sixth street. W. J. Cuppy of the Chicago RecordHerald and Sam Ledered of the Chicago News, believing that the event was to have taken place Wednesday, came out to Gary Wednesday morning and were compelled to return to Chicago. It is estimated that there were five thousand people on the streets of Gary yesterday to watch the parade and hear the speaking. These were the residnts of th city who were not allowed to enter the mills. There were also a few people from out of town who were anxious to get a glimpse of John W. Kern. Just as the Elbert IT.
