ONE BRAND OF JOURNALISM. There is very little doubt now but that Joseph H. Cothery, republican, instead of Harry G. Moose, democrat, will occupy the position of city clerk of the city of Gary within a very short time. Local democrats have become so angered at the action of Moose In filing groundless charges against. Mayor Knotts that extremely heavy pressure is being brought to bear upon the democratic member of the late board of recounters in the municipal election to get him to sign the report which declares that Cothery was elected over Moose by a majority of five vote Gary Post.

KER

BOOM THROWS SCARE INTO GOV. MARSHALL'S RANKS

Movement to Give Indiana Presidential Deegation to

Senator Kern Grows Despite the Protests Which He Has Always Made Whenever His Name Was Considered For Office Labo r Issue Is Forced to Front

The boom launched some time ago by the Kern Presidential Club of Indi anapolis in behalf of John W. Kern's presidential nomination is gaining momentum, and - there are signs that there is going to be a hard-fought con test when it comes to making up the delegation from Indiana to the next Democratic national convention. The Kern club is growing rapidly in mem bership, and more and mora of Mr. Kern's friends are taking up the cudgel in his behalf. Impetus has been given the Kern boom as a result of criticism of Gov ernor Marshall because of his action in issuing requisition papers for John "J. McNamara, secretary-treasurer of the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, without sufficient investigation, in the minds of union men. The Governor's friends have been alarmed as to his prorpects ever since McNamana was arrested, be cause of the attitude toward the Governor displayed secretly by the rank and file of labor organizations. They have been fighting hard to save the Governor from being criticised public-. ly. John E. Iamb, recently, according to labor men from Terre Haute, only after a hard fight euceeded in getting a coat of whitewash for the Governor in resolutions considered by the Central Labor Union of Terre Haute. See Marshall Failure. Politicians generally believe that the attitude of organized labor toward Governor Marshall's action in honor- j ing the requisition for McNamara's ar rest his defense of this action and then his subsequent indirect admission and statement that hereafter no member of a labor organization will be arrested upon demand from another state without a more careful investigation from the executive office, have done much to injure the Governor's chances of obtaining the presidential nomination and probably will mean his failure to get the Indiana delegation. There are signs that organized labor will go Into the next Democratic state convention, in which it ha heretofore been noticeably powerful, fighting any effort to indorse the Governor for the presidential nomination. It is declared by some labor leaders who are in a position to know that labor will have something to say about making up the Hoosier delegation to the next Democratic national convention, and its efforts will be in behalf of Kern. Senator Kern is credited with playing smooth politics since the McNamara arrest. It will be recalled that In past contests for -nomination Mr. Kern never has allowed himself to be placed in the attitude of seeking a nomination. But he has been quicn 10 take advantage, apparently, of the opportunities afforded through the McNamara arrest. Th efrcumstances under which the labor leader was spirited out of Indianapolis have become a redhot national political issue. Kent 1 Cureful. Senator Kern has taken up the fight In behalf of labor, but is not doing anything to incur the opposition of the men who represent capital. There is talk among employers of demanding that Senator Kern amend his resolu

tion by calling for an investigation Mt the dynamiting outrages as well as the circumstances under which McNamara was taken to California. This it already has been urged upon Senator Kem should be done in the interest ol fairness. Meanwhile Senator Kern's resolution is etill In his possession, according to advices here, and has not been introduced. Labor leaders are displaying a very warm feeling for Senator Kern because of the views he has expressed. It has been reported in political circle that Governor Marshall construed

Senator Kern's public criticism of the spiriting away of McNamara as somewhat of a slap at himself, and it is said that he delivered his mind to a certain state official recently on this point, and declared that he did not understand why Senator Kern should criticise him. Mr. Kern, while in Indianapolis recently, hastened to explain in an interview that he did not Intend to cast any re flections upon the Governor because of the latter's action in honoring the requisition from the Governor of Cali fornia. He reiterated that he is not a candidate for President, and Insisted that talk of his being a candidate was "a Joke." He declared that under no circumstances would he allow his name to go before the next Democratic na tlonal convention. Recalla Former Caaea. One of the men who is pushing the Kern boom, however, with a wink, re called that Mr. Kern was not a candidate for the nomination for Vice Presi dent in 1108, and yet he received the nomination; also that he waa "in no sense" a candidate for Governor when he was nominated for that office, and likewise he stated and reiterated the statement that under no circumstances would he be a candidate for United States senator before the last state convention, nor would he accept the senatorial nomination were It tender ed him. There are Indications that the entire Taggart organization in the end will he found behind Kem, state committee and all, with one or two exceptions, while the anti-Taggart forces will try to make the delegation for Marshall It is pointed out that if Taggart Bhould get behind Kern's candidacy and his organization with the aid of organized labor, would stand a pretty good chance of landing Senator Kern th delegation except In the Fifth and Twelfth Districts. The Marshall men are not backward in stating that they regard the Kern boom as dangerous. There is much discussion among Democrats as to who the delegates at large likely will be. It has been customary in the past to send some official or representative in Congress to the Convention as well as other big Democrats. It is not unlikely that nearly every Democratic member of Congress from this state will be a delegate, including Senators Kern and Shlvely, who probably will be two of the delegates at large. Two delegates and two alternates will be elected from each district, the remaining four of the thirty delegates from this state being selected at large by the next state convention. It Is not

improbable that there will be a spirited fight, especially for delegates at large, between John E. Lamb of Terre Haute and Senator Stephen B. Fleming of Fort Wayne, both of whom are friendly to Governor Marshall, and Thomaa Taggart and MaJ. G. V. Menzies of Mr, Vernon. Lamb, Fleming and Taggart. while in Indianapolis, within the last few days, declared that they were not giving the subject consideration now. Mr. Taggart said that he is not taking any part in politics and it is too early to predict what will happen. "I am willing to let them fight It out," said he. "I do not expect to take) any part in It." Senator Fleming is regarded as having a good lead. "There is nothing I want," said he. But there are many Democrats who are anxious to reward Mr. Iteming for his part In contributing to Democratic success last fall and his work in the last Legislature. Should he desire a place on the delegation he likely would have the support of his friend. Senator Evan B. Stotsenburg of New Albany. Mayors Oppose Maraaall. Governor Marshall would be certain to encounter bitter opposition in the Tenth District from Mayor ..Lemuel Darrow of Laporte, Mayor ' Thomas Knotts of Gary and Mayor George Durgan of Lafayette, all of whom have opposed his candidacy for President from the start. Mayor Lawrence Becker of Hammond was another power In the Tenth District who opposed Governor Marsha llwhen his- boom first was sprung. The Governor, however, is credited with playing a cmooth piece of politics when he placed Becker on the Superior Court bench at Hammond, thus, in a way, bringing him into the Marshall camp, or at least putting him In a place where he could do him no harm. Thomas Taggart declared that he has had nothing to do with launching Senator Kern's boom for the presidency. It is believed by many of the Governor' friends that the Marshall boom is being attacked over Kern's shoulders. Senator Kern declares positively that he is for Governor Marshall first, last and all the time, and the Governor's friends are not holding him in any wise responsible for the shots that are being fired at the Marshall boomlet. The officers of the Kern Club declare that they are against no one. Circular letters are being mailed to Democratic editors over the state and to party leaders, uring that Senator Kern is the man of the hour" for the presidency, so far as Indiana is concerned. Letter Boost Senator. Two kinds of circular letters have been mailed. One bears the caption "Kern for President." The other is marked "Confidential Memorandum," and bears the caption "John Worth Kern for President," The latter declares that It is no longer a secret that the members of the Indiana delegation In Congress have grown cold toward the Marshall boom and that recent efforts to arouse them have failed. It is declared that the delegation will take no further steps in Marshall's behalf unless forced. Some of the Governor's friends lay these letters at the door of Col. William C. Liller, president . of the National Democratic League of Clubs, who was opposed by Governor Marshall ' in organizing the "national achievement" banquet held here In April. The charge is denied by Liller. The president of the league of clubs Is charged with promoting the Kern boom in order to capture a part of the Indiana delegation for Governor Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey. This he denies also. I There is every Indication that there J will be a hard-fought battle to prevent Governor Marshall from capturing the Hoosier delegation. Indianapolis Star. ARE YOU TAJvIXO THE TIMES T
