Wynn, vice president of one of the large life insurance companies of the west, was a visitor to the city a few days ago and gave It as his opinion that the only thing now uncertain In the presidential race Is the majority that will be received by Bryan and Kern. He says that Indiana 1* as safely democratic as Georgia. He say» that Mr. Kern Is one of tho ablest and one of the most popular citizens of In- ti4ar»apnll» and ’that Ms popularity alone is sufficient to carry Indiana. Mr. Wynn states that he has during the past few weeks traveled through tho west and that everywhe.-e he finds a strong Bryan and Kern sentiment, enough, he thinks, to blect the demo cratic standard bearers without the aid of New York. Mr. Wynn says that he knows Mr Kern personally and that he Ms one of tho purest and best men of his ac quaintance and says that other people In Indiana share this opinion.

The charges were to the effect that deputy wardens had been paid extra salaries by lesases while on the pay roll of the state, and the defendants were the Henry Stevens Sons Com pany of Macon, the Cherokeo Brick Company of Macon, and Deputy War dens W. 8.

Mr. Stevens stated frankly that the salary ho hnd boon paying Warden W. S. Tyson on tho side had been continued, even after the order forbidding It was recelvsd. He pleaded in excuse the fact that he did not comprehend whether the or der wns of immediate operation or general effect. He stated thnt Ho had entered Into an agreement with Mr. Tyson to pay him extra for special work, In order that tho warden mltfht earn living wages. Tho state paid only $50 a month, and the warden could not subsist on that, having a family of eight to support. Mr. Slo vens stated that Tyson wus an expe rienced and competent man who had grown up in th# business and who would have found It difficult to have obtained another or better position. Besides this, he said, his company would have suffered severely had he been required to take on A new and probably Inexperienced warden.
