Archbishop Kain and Vice-Presidential Prospects
In the Detroit News-Tribune, Sunday, May 27, the Washington staff correspondent of that paper, reporting vice-presidential prospects of the coming campaign, under date of “May 26,” says: “Senator Hanna, General Grosvenor, R. C. Kerens, the national committeeman from Missouri, and Archbishop Kain, had a conference at length, in the vice-president’s room this afternoon.” This Mr. R. C. Kerens is the same one through whom Archbishop Ireland dictated terms to the National Convention at St. Louis in 1896. It appears that this time the will of the archbishops is to be ascertained beforehand. This will save the trouble of revising during convention.
