The report that Ed Rogers, clerk of
the district court, had had an under
standing with Col. Kiefer as to the ap-
pearance of that gentleman In the
political arena as a candidate for
mayor. seems to be well founded.
To man the deputy clerks of the
court are busy these days in shouting
the praises of Col. Kiefer, and it goes
without an affidavit that this would
not be allowed unless Mr.. Rogers not
/ only gave his consent, but intimated
that 1t would be the proper thing to
| do. ',;,-5. 80
Mr.. Rogers has an idea that he can
secure the nomination for congress at
| the hands of the Republicans Of this
district and In order to make the field
smaller as to the candidates. figures it
| out that with Col. Kiefer out Of the
way the only opposition he would have
would be Fred G.. Stevens who now
represents the district in congress.
Mr.. Rogers and his friends hold that
Stevens is a dead one so far as re-
nomination Is concerned, and with the
support that Kiefer whether elected
mayor or not, could give him the con-
gressional convention could not get
away from nominating the present
| clerk Of courts.
In view of this plan the report cur
rent yesterday that without the knowI-
edge or consent of Rogers a combina-
! ton had been formed between Doran
and Kiefer, caused considerable excite
ment. Mr.. Rogers is in the East and
some Of his friends were Of the opin-
ion that he had better be advised by
wire Of the combination
A friend Of Rogers called on the
mayor and after conference with
| DOran reported back that there was
nothing to the report. Doran, the gen
! tleman said. claimed that Kiefer and
his friends had" been undermining him
for the past year. and not satisfied
with working up feeling on the out
! side, had even gone SO far as to ap-
proach the officials he had appointed
to office with the proposition to throw
| him down for a denomination.
With such statement coming direct
from Mayor Doran the idea that there
| had been any combination between
| Doran and Kiefer was settled and the
telegram prepared to be sent Rogers
was destroyed.
| 1.-THE talk of a dark horse for mayor
in the Republican convention Is no
dream" said a Seventh ward politician
yesterday IT have 1T from the best
authority that A. II. Lfndeke, while
not q candidate in the sense that he
has given 1t out that, If he should be
selected as the nominee, he would ac-
cept.
"n the convention gets in a jangle,
! and 1t looks now as though this would
be the outcome. the only thing to do
is to nominate Lindeke and settle all
| disputes"
I'm our ward" said the Seventh
warder, ''there is considerable talk
about Doran being the best man to
| nominate. The men VINO are making
this declaration, however are the ones
who seemingly take no interest in the
| primaries, and for this reason their
| advice does not cut much figure in a
practical way.
| 1.-THE delegates for Kefer from the
| Seventh will be so few that they will
cut no figure, and Donahower will prob
ably get the majority Of those elected
| to the convention"
