JOHN WORTH KERN
John Worth Kern, selected by tho Democrntlc
convention nt Denver as Hrynn's running mate
In the nntlonnl campaign of this fall, Is conceded
to be the lender of the Indiana Democracy.
Mr. Kern has run several times for governor,
and each time be was said to have reunited tho
warring factions of the Democratic party and to
have won over a large Republican following, but
eacb time he was badly defeated. Ho was elected
city nttorney In Kokomo In 1871 nnd served
Eovernl years, lie was elected reporter of tho
Indiana supreme court, but was defeated for re
election. He served two terms In tho stnto sennto
nnd one ns city nttorney of Indlnnapolls, but boiiiq
Republican always happened to coino along to
oust him.
This does not Imply that Mr. Kern Is a. weak
or an unpopular man In bis state, for bo Is neither. Domocrncy was on tho
down grndo In Indiana when be was coming to the front, and was only kept
from dissolution by the phenomenal strength of United Stntes Senntor Voor
bees, tho "tall sycamore of the Wnbash," who znnnaged to have a Democrntlc
legislature elected Just In tlmo to re-elect blm to tho sonnto vhcn his term
expired. Slnco he dropped out of politics Just before his death, n llttlo over
ten years ago, Democtncy In lndlann had been practically wiped off tho map,
and Mr. Kern hns had no moro show thnn would a Democrat In Michigan.
Ho is a graduate of tho University of Michigan, nnd for n tlmo practiced
law In Kokomo, but later moved to Indianapolis, where he has since lived.
He has a high reputation In bis native state, and Is a man of considerable per
sonal magnetism.

St. Louis. Tho new Irrigation law
which was recently passed by the Mox
lean congress nlrendy has led to the
Inauguration of a number of Irrigation
projects In different pnrts of that
country. The fact thnt the law carries
an appropriation of $25,000,000 to be
paid In subsidies to those who plnco
land under Irrigation, servos as an In
centive for tho establishment of Im
provements of this character.
Ono of tho largest of these Irrigation
enterprises undor tho new law Is being
financed by n syndicate of St. Louis
men, headed by David It. Francis.
His son, David R. Francis, Jr., Is
WINFIELD SCOTT HAMMOND
Wlnlleld Scott Hninmond, tho man who placed
the name of Gov. Johnson In nomination for the
presidency, is n member of congress from tho
Second Minnesota district.
Hnmmond Is the official Johnson nominator.
This thing of nominating Johnson may almost
be said to have become a habit with blm. llo
nominated Johnson nt the Minnesota stato conven
tion one time, and to the surprise of a largo
number of pcoplo who thought they know some
thing about tho game of politics tho country edi
tor was nomlnnted. To tho surprise, too, of nn
even Inrger number of people, ho was elected.
When bis term wns out Congressman Hammond
arose before another stnto convention and noml
nnted him again. TbiB time the outcomo was not
so unexpected.
When tho Minnesota executive made up bis mind to let bis nnmo go be
foro tho Democratic national convention It wns suggested to him that ho per
mit some eloquent orator, some spellbinder of the Hourko Cockrnn typo, to
mako tho nominating speech. Rut Mr. Johnson bnlked.
"Out thero In St. James, Minn.," he snld, "there Is n plnln spoken sort of
chap who does my nominating Just nbout tho way I like to have It done. I
have bad some experience with bis brand of nominating, nnd I don't know
that I havo a single objection to mako to it. And I reckon, when I have any
moro nominating to be done, I'll Just let Win Hammond do It, for bo's my
mascot."
Hammond lives in one of tho string of towns up In Minnesota that scorn
to have been christened by some pious persons In tho lntervnls between
prayer meetings and Epworth league sessions. Ho lives in St. James. Gov.
Johnson lives In St. Peter, nnd when be left there It was to go to St. Paul.
Congressman Hammond is MnsEacbusetts-born, a Dartmouth graduato and
when ho enmo west In 18S4 ho tnught school for six years. Then bo began
the practice of law. Ho Is en his llrst term in tho house, having defeated
James T. McCleary, a Republican of nntlonnl note, In a district thnt was al
ways considered unnlterably Republican.
LEVIN IRVING HANDY
Levin Irving Handy of Delnwaro camo Into
tho limelight nt tho Denver convention after an
absence of years, becnuse of bis selection by the
mnnngora of Judge Gcorgo Gray's presidential
campaign as the mnn to place the Delaware Jurist
before the delegates as a candidate for president.
Resides being a politician nnd nn orator, Mr.
Handy has been a nowspaper writer, a lecturer
and a school teacher. In 1808 and 1899 bo was
the entire congressional delegation of tho stato of
Delaware in the lower rouse of congress, nnd for
a little while ho wns the whole delegation in both
houses, during tho brief period In which both
seats In the sennto woro vacant. After serving
ono term, Handy was defeated for re election by
a Republican and retired to private life.
Mr. Handy wns born in Mnryland 40 years
ago, and was educated In the public schools. He taught school In bis nntivo
stato and In Delaware, wns school superintendent of a county in tho latter
stato for several years, and later became an editorial writer on Every Even
ing, a Wilmington dnlly newspaper.
In preparation for the recent crisis, apparently, ho became a public
lecturer, and for a number of years delivered lectures throughout tho country
upon assorted topics, calculated to appeal to tho patrons of tho local lyceum
leeturo courses in town and city. From 1892 till 189G ho was chairman of tho
Democrntlc stato centml committee of Delaware.
Having been one of tho earliest men to urge the selection of Judgo Gray
ns the Democratic presidential cnndldate, nnd ono of tho strongest supporters
of thnt movemeiit in Its moments of sunshlno as well as Its hours of despair,
ho was selected by tho Judge's personal representntlves to get whatever glory
comes of the opportunity to make the speech formally placing his candidate's
nnmo boforo tho convention.
COL. JAMES M. GUFFEY
Primitive Method of Irrigation In Old
Mexico.
actively Interested In the project, nnd
has been spending much of his time
In Mexico of into. Tho concession for
this enterprise- provides for the uso
of the water of Lake Chapala for Ir
rigating nbout G00.000 acres of land
ndjacent to tho Inke. Tho government
will pny n subsidy of $25 per hectare
of '1 acres on nil hind placed under
Irrigation. It Is stated that a system
of canals and ditches will be built to
cover every part of the tracts of laud
that aro to bo Irrigated and that great
electric pumping plnnts will bo In
stnlied to rnlso the water out of the
lako. Tho cost of the construction nl
tho system of Irrigation will ho nl
most offset by tho subsidy.
A number of nppllcntlons for conceit
slons to estnbllsh largo Irrigation
plants under tho new subsidy law are
pending In tho dopnrtment of fomento
of the fedcrnl government. Mlnlstor
Olegnrio Molina of thnt department re
cently signed a contract with Joaquin
Redo, n wealthy business man of Ma
zntlnn, for tho establishment of n
system of Irrigation In tho vnlloy of
tho San Lorenzo river In tho Btnto of
SInnloa. Mr. Redo binds himself to
plnco 25,000 ncros undor Irrigation
within ten yenrs from tho dnto of tho
contract.
Prlmltlvo methods of Irrigation are
In uso in many parts of Mexico. Some
of those Irrigating plants have been
In oporntlon continuously for more
thnn 150 yonrs. The water 1b raised
by means of cumbersome wntcr wheels
operated by tho native peons. The
capacity of tho buckets on tbeso
wheels Is smnll, but a consldornblo
quantity of water is lifted In tho
courso of a day's operation nnd sov
oral acres may bo Irrigated from ono
wntcr wheel. Tho demand for mod
ern pumping plnnts has Increased vory
rapidly during tho Inst few years, and
It Is not unusunl to see a gasoline on
glno nt work nlongsldo of ono of tho
nntlqunted water whcols.

Monomlnlo, Wis. Lorenzo Dow Har
vey, who has been olocted president
Col. Jnmes M. Guffey. Democratic boss of
Pennsylvania, who furnished ono of the most sen
sational features of the Denver convention In his
tight with Rryan, less thnn two years ago was
read out of the party down In bis own Btnto. Rut
he resolutely declined to stay dead. Anybody nt
all acquainted with tho Pennsylvnnlan'H ninko-up
knows that retirement for him will bo but tem
porary, and thnt bo will be shuttling the cards In
the political game for n good ninny yenrs to come.
Guffey is a political fighter for tho pure lovo
of the sport. He has held the Domocrncy of Penn
slvanla In the hollow of Ills hand, so to speak,
for moro thnn ten years, llo hns never asked
for nn office and could not be Induced to talto one.
He is referred to ns nn oil magnate In six states,
coal king In two, sliver mlno owner In two and
gold mine owner in the eleventh. His wealth goes Into so many millions that
lie probably could not tell off-hnnd Jusi how much money bo has.
In the first Uryan convention In 1 00, Guffey was a "sound money" dele
gute. After Uryan hnd been nominated, Guffey enmo back home with
thoughts of bolting In his bead, but when he found that bis rival William
1 Hurrlty, retiring stato bosh, had already bolted, Guffey turned in nnd bent
overy effort to awing bis stnto to the Uryan column. Slnco that tlmo ho
has boon national commltteeinnn, succeeding llnriily, who had boon national
chairman.
Four yenrs later Col. Guffey was nt?nln n Rryan worker in Ponnsylvnnln.
His thousands huve always (town easily Into the pnrty cofferB In tlmo of
need, nnd ho Is credited with being ono of tho throo heaviest glvora of ensh
to tho Rrynn ennipalgn In both 18DG nnd 1900.
Col, Guffey is r lighter and bo Is undonlntly n powerful factor In Penn
sylvania politic. Whether he Is to ho crushed for good by tho Rrynn steam
rollor ruinutiiK to be neon, but thoso who know blm best doubt It. Tho present
feud between tho enndldr.to nnd tho boss grow out of tho Inttor's opposition
