In connection with the recent police
scandal there Is a little story that Is
causing some wonderment lust how.
Who induced County Attorney Ander.
son to go to Kansas City for Roebuck? :?
1t is said that it was one Of the clever
political moves Of the preliminary Re-
publican campaign. Doran, it is claim
ed, didn't want Gruber tried last week.
He was willing to wait at least until
after the primaries, and if necessary
Until after election
Kiefer didn't want it at this time for
1t is regarded as having reflected on his
strongest workers in the police depart
ment.
1t may have been Anderson's own
idea. A week ago Friday night he
went to Kansas City and at once called
on the president Of the bank where
young Roebeck is now employed. He
explained the robbery and told the bank
president that he wanted Roebuck to
return to st. Paul and testify. He said
the boy had promised he wouldn't come
and wanted to keep his promise.
The bank president thought the
case ought to be pushed. He
called Roebuck in and informed him
that II he wanted to retain his position
that he must return to st. Paul with
Anderson. And he did. There were q.
lot of surprised and angry men In st.
Paul when Anderson appeared with
Roebuck
There were some who smiled. But It
isn't known whether they were RESPONSE
BILE for Anderson's springing the scan
del at this time or not.
The fight tonight Is going to be
sharper in the Fourth ward than any
other ward in the city. City Treas
urer Horst is at home IN that ward.
So Is 'Donahower. It is life or death
for Horst. He has some good men to
help him., If they will give anything
more than passive support
Oar Reese can carry his precinct
every time if he wants to, but 1t is not
known how strongly he is supporting
Doran. When there was a dozen dele
cations calling on Doran to name GER
tain men for the board Of public works
Reese dropped into the mayors office.
and when he left had the appointment
of Philip Justus, of the Fourth ward
to the much-sought place. Reese
hasn't forgot that, and he Is expected
to show his gratitude today. Justus Is
also expected to do something in re-
turn for his appointment
Then the Fourth ward Is where a
number Of people and places are to be
found that have received consideration
from Doran and his police, and they,
too, are expected to do some work to-
day. So that the claim that Donahower
will carry every precinct seems to be
on the principle of claim everything
and see how you come out later.
Capt. Bean also lives in the Fourth
ward and promises to carry his, the
Twelfth precinct, for Col. Keifer. The
colonel will also try to carry a few
other precincts.
