Democratic cabinet fantasies for Kern and kinship in Indy
The letter sketches a hypothetical Democratic presidential ticket led by Kern with John W Kern as the candidate, naming cabinet posts for Tom Taggart at secretary of state, Dunn at treasury, Smith as attorney general, W King at interior, and Fairbank at the navy. It urges appointing Jim Keach as agriculture head and Johnson for commerce, while noting Bryan has not yet endorsed Kern and the cabinet remains fluid. The piece also references local politics and earlier Sun editorials on winerooms and public safety.
