BERN IS NOTIFIED TODAY OF NOMINATION Democratic Vice-Presidential Candidate Formally Noti fied of Bis Selection . MAKES ANSWER TO ! MR. SHERMAN'S SPEECH Cites Many Examples to Sftow That "The People Do Not Rule," Show ing That the Republicans Have Ig nored the Known Desires of the Public For Certain Reforms, Measure After Measure, Favored by the People of All Parties, Failed to Pass the Republican Congress, Many of Them Having the Active Support of the President. (By Leased Wire to The Times) Indianapolis, Aug. 25 William Jennings Bryan, democratic candi date for president, delivered his key note speech on the trust situation to day in connection with the notifica tion of his running mate, John W. Kern, of the latter's nomination for vice-president. Mr. Kern also de livered his formal speech of accept ance. In his trust speech Mr. Dryan flays Mr. Taft, the repub'ican candi date; the republican leaders who have blocked the enforcement of existing anti-trust laws, and the republican platform which he declares is luke warm on the subject of private mo nopolies. ' Mr. Kern, who spoke flrst,,was formally notified of his nomination - Dy unairman tsen, wno presiaea over the preliminary organization at the Denver convention. There Were many visitors in Indianapolis in honor of the event. . Mr. Kern said in part: I appreciate most highly this great honor conferred upon me ; by the unanimous vote of the representa tives of my party in national conven tion assembled, and I shall strive most earnestly to earn a continua tion of the confidence and good will manifested by that action. I did not seek this nomination. Indeed, if my . nwn fiorannnl rlaalraU tlftri httpil con sulted, another would have received the honor, but it having come to me without solicitation I prize it all the more, and accept it with a full sense of the burdens and responsibilities. 'As a candidate I shall try to wear the honor worthily, and as faithfully as I can discharge ; all the duties properly devolving on me as one of your standard-bearers, and if elected I promise to serve all the people of the republic by the conscientious dis charge of the: duties of the office. The republican nominee for vlce- president, in his recent speech of ac ceptance, affected the belief that the question," ."Shall the people rule?" . implied a charge of venality against the American electorate. He af- ' firmed, with great emphasis, that un der recent republican administration the people have ruled without hlnd- . ranee. '-'.' It is passing strange that In a re public like this there should be oc casion for a discussion of this ques tion. It is a government of the peo ple and by the people. They presum ably govern themselves through their servants whom they send to repre sent them in congress. Their will, when known, ought to be supreme and should be given immediate ef fect ' ''.. ."' And if the will of the people, , once known, is not given effect, then the people do not rule. Will any intelligent man claim that there la or has been any sub stantial diversity .of opinion in this country on the question as to whether the tariff duty on wood pulp uBed in the manufacture of paper should be reduced or removed? In this case ithe tariff tax operated for the benefit of the paper trust alone, allowing that combine to levy millions of trib ute each year upon- the newspapers of the country and their readers. The press of the country, without regard to party, united in demanding relief. The people of our republic unani mously seconded the demand.
