JOUR 111. KERR
LOS ANGELES.— William Ran
dolph Hearst threw another of his
justly celebrated political bricks
Monday night in a speech directed at
John Worth Kern, the democratic
nominee for vice-president.
In part Mr. Hearst said: “Mr.
Wern who has achieved fame as (he
railroad :>ass candidate, and who
aspires to represent the liig Foifr
railroad in the government of the
United States, seems eligible fop the
retired list in the face of these re
turns and without the presentation
of any further facts.
“Mr. Kern was nominated for the
vice-presidency by one of the most
corrupt bosses in the country—Tom
Taggart, of Indiana, You citizens,
in your simple, trustful nature,' tuny
think that a convention nominated
Mr. Kern. A democratic convention
does not nominate nowadays—it
merely ratifies an appointment. Mr.
Bryan for 24 hours held up the con
vention at Denver to offer Charlie
Murphy, of New York, the opuoriu
nity to name the vice-presidential
candidate. But Charlie Murphy, the
most corrupt boss in the United
States, refused the responsibility,
and so the honor fell by natural In
hertlance to the second most corrupt 1
boss In the United States—Tom Tag I
gart, of Indiana.”
