regret that he ever had anything to do

which they have conducted his CAM

Kiefer made?
All citizens who have heard the Re-

tered this fight under clear misappre-

These promises. like those of Col.

impossible of fulfillment. and hardly
was Col. Klefer's bark launched i'll the
political sea when such roar of Op-
position went up that it almost drove
him from the ticket. Before the COM
mencement of the campaign Col. Kiefer
promised that he would not run if OPP
posed by any Republicans. Forgetting
this in his eagerness to gain the office,
he has now rendered it necessary for
the party to fire him out bodily on cleo
ton day.
