In spite of all that has been said by Senator John AV. Kern about not being a candidate for the democratic nomination for president and his published interviews in which he has said that he is for Governor Marshall for the nomination first, last and all the time, the fact remains, as has been discovered here in the last day or two, that he is a candidate even against his own will, and that the democrats who have been boosting him for the place are still at work. Not only are they at work, but they declare that they are accomplishing something, and that Kern will get some delegates from this state to the national conve'ntlon. One of the men behind the Kern boom said yesterday that they were not paying any attention to what Kern was saying about not being a candidate. Say Kern la Entitled to It. "We are not against Governor Marshall or any other democrat for president," he said. "We will support the nominee of the national convention. whoever he may be, but we do believe that Senator Kern is entitled to the nomination and that the people at large think so. We are for him -for the nomination because we believe he Is the man for the place. He is a good. old-time substantial democrat, one of the kind that always does the work whenever It Is time to work. The peo pie all over the United States know him and like him. That is why we are In favor of his nomination. That is why we are going forward with our plan to elect some delegates from Indiana who will vote for him. Govern or Marshall will not get a solid dele gation from Indiana, not by a good deal." Getting: Into Line. v This man said that letters were bewritten ana answers received every day from leading democrats all over the state who are promising their sup port to the Kern movement. Some of the strongest democrats in the state are getting; In line, he says. mere are some who believe even hat the name of Governor Marshall will not be presented to the convention for the nomination for president. They declare that his connection with the.Mc Namara case has so incensed the labor organizations all over the country that It would be suicidal for the party to nominate him for the presidency. With out the labcr vote he could not - be elected, they point out, and without the labor vote the ticket would be swamped. They say whatever chances Gov-

CHICAGO AVIATION MEET

ATTRACTS MUCH ATTENTION

With new contracts coming In dally by mall, telegraph and cable, embracing aviators whose very names spell thrills; with the whole city and iurrounding country decorated with posters; hotels, department stores and the box office selling tickets right and left, enthusiasm is rampant over the International aviation meet to be held in Grant park, Chicago, August 12-20. One block of 6,300 seats has already been purchased by one division of the Chicago Association of Commerce. "Tom" Sopwith and James V, Martin, the latter formerly a professor of astronomy at Harvard, have wired that they will bring two or more understudies with them. Charles F. Walsh, who has been doing wonders In the west, wired from Salt Lake city that he will be on hand with his big Curtiss-Farman biplane equipped with a seat for carrying a passenger. "Jimmy" Ward and his "Shooting Star"; Lincoln Beachey and the Curtlss hydroplane, several from the BurgessCurt iss fleet, the most famous of whom is probably Claude Grahame-White, and a score of others will vie In making aviation history. An additional feature which is certain to be popular with aviators and spectators alike Is the Country club prize, which will amount to several thousand dollars in addition to the regular prizes. Starting from the Grant park aerodrome, the aviators will fly to the Onwentsia club at Lake Forest; thence to Glenvlew, to Wheaton, to Midlothian, to the South Shore Country club and return to the field. Pylons will be erected at each club

for the retur nof John J. McNamara, See Taargrarfa Hand la . Some of the Marshall followers claim to see the hand of Tom Taggart in the talk of labor's opposition to Marshall. While Taggart has announced himself as being for Marshall through thick and thin, there are many who believe that he Is only playing both ends against the middle and that at the proper time, when it is seen that Governor Marshall cannot be nominated he will swing the Indiana delegation to Harmon. It would be natural under these circumstances, it is pointed out, for Taggart to help push along the labor opposition to Marshall as one of the means of bringing about this situation.

It will be remembered that la spite of the efforts that have been made to get the members of the In - dianji. delegation in congress to hold a mtn- -ttmn in,.-., ing Marshall's candidacy that no such meettna- has been held and no such Indorsement has been given.

ington it is not at. all likely that any ; tonight and It Is expected that the rensuch meeting will be held. It la said 1 resentatives of the various railroads

that it is the fear of organized labor that is holding some of them back and keeping them from making a statement of that kind. It is said that some of the congress-j men realize that it would be danger-! ous for them to give their Indorsement to Marshall's candidacy when labor is against him. They fear that it would use its force against them at the next election, and they are not willing to risk their own political necks to boost Marshall. Congreaamc-n Can't Indorme Hint. Therefore, according to, this story. it looks like the Marshall boom will have to get along some way without the congressional Indorsement. And not only Is labor watching the congressmen but it is watching candidates for state offices as well, and It is predicted that when the time comes labor will swat those who line up with Marshall. All of this makes a pretty mess of it for the Indiana democrats. for It is pointed out that they may yet . be obliged to get behind Kern, if they; lw vV..u ' "e!

It may be, too, that the Harmon crowd is behind the tern boom, al - though this is denied by those who are promoting it. iney say that they have no affiliation with any other rorce, ana that Tney propose to fight It OUt along meir own line. It IS known that the Harmon forces are trying quietly to encourage booms In various states for "favorite sons" as candidates for the presidential nomination. It is pointed out that this is one reason why Taggart is for Marshall. The Harmon people believe that if a large number of "favorite sons" get In the race none of them can get enough votes to amount to anything, and that It will then be easy to swing the various delegations to Harmon, in the convention. A man who has been doing some political work In the east has Just returned home here and he says he found the footprints of the Harmon crowd In several states. In Massachusetts, for Instance, the Harmon people were trying to get the democrats of that state to brln gout Governor Foss for president. But the Massachusetts democrats, he says, are not going to do anything of the kind. T RATE QUIZ BRINGS OUT NEW FACTS (Continued from Page 1.) trlct is a large on and its outer boundary extends in a great circle about the city of Chicago and outlaying manufacturing cities.

Announcement of the cross-water races has stirred up excitement In adjacent cities and towns all along Lake Michigan - within a radius of several hundred miles. Deputations fron early a dozen different places have requested the managers of the meet to select their particular municipalities as the terminating point of one of the races, and some have gone so far as to make preliminary arrangements for aviation meets following the Chicago event.

By a formal resolution passed at the last meeting of the city council, Chi cago has officially stamped the coming meet In Grant park as a civic affair and has called upon all citizens to assist. Introduced by Alderman Foell and supported by a number of other influential members of council, the resolution provides that the period of the meet be set as'de as a festival occasion to be known as "Aviation Week." The police, fire, health, public works and electricity departments have been instructed to assist in the progress of the meet to whatever extent may be deemed necessary for Its safe conduct. All public buildings are ordered decorated and every business house in the city Is urged to similarly decorate buildings and places of business in a manner befitting the occasion. ton on the north shore of Lake Michigan. According to Mr. Zimmerman the new arrangement will give the city of Indiana Harbor exactly the same advantages from a shippers point of view that the heart of the city of Chicago has. Dfnjr DterrVrntnatton. it is denied that the city of Hammond .would be discriminated against !ij favor of Chicago Heights and other outlaying cities in the switching district. According to one authority the same rates will prevail in all of the above mentioned cities. It was admitted in the case of W. B.

Finally when Castleman struck- up speech number eight the lacrimato.y processes of the- Miller burghers became so profuse that most of them left the hall. The town board informed Castleman that it might permit a joint park rule If the Gary council goes through wllh all It has promised. However, most of the people of Miller are suspicious of Castlemans schemes to pay $1,250 an acre for cheap land and they are on the alert. Activity of brewery interests regarding the park has also aroused sentiment and Castleman's scheme to have the park pay for Itself by the sale of lots (which he would control) and by the sale of "concessions" is received in Miller with the utmost suspicion.
