House yesterday. Mr. Kohlsaat is young man
yet but he is old in experience. He was not at all
disturbed by the noise he heard concerning the
financial soundness of Major Mckinley. and only
smiled when 1t was mentioned. Mr.. Kohsaat, since
his entrance into the world of journalism has taken
deep interest in politics, and, While ne does not
want office himself, re always allies himself with
the party that Is the side Of the puriiicauoh OF
politics He was one of the most active workers in
the recent campaign In Chicago when the ring WIS
smashed and Mayor Swift swept into Office by ire
mendous majority. He has taken hold OF the Nc
Kiney rens in the West. and he asserts mat the
nomination of Mckinley means the election Oh
man who is sound on every political issue anu VINO
is not tied up by a lot of pledges and promises
