There Is a great deal of activity In the
Kieferverein about these times. And it is of
the pernicious variety, at that. All the IA
vorite members of the verein-that is those
of them who thus far have been supplied with
of1ces-are in a state Of violent political
eruption. All the able bodied employees Of
the court house commission, Of the police
department and Of the executive side of the
city government generally have one absorbing
sense of duty these days. and that is to boom

The mayor has gone into politics perma-

KANSAS CITY, Sept. 20.-A special

William Jennings Bryan, of the Third

sign his command in the United States

Col. Bryan is looking and feeling

me to keep still when there is so much
to say about things of Importance to
the people, and Of lifelong interest and
moment to me, you would appreciate
the strength Of my will"
When asked If he would talk freely
on the subject when he has once brok-
en- loose, he said:
You know how 1t is when a dam
breaks. There is no telling when the
food stops"
When his candidacy for the presi-
Dental nomination was suggested, he
said:
"a man may say things and express
opinions upon public affairs which will
not meet public approval. These re-
suits are not always favorable to him
self. An idea is everything to me, far
more than any Office"
Col. Bryan refused to name the date
when he would resign his commission.

owners at terminals. Complaints Of
dockage, undergrading, cheating in
weights had brought the farmers to
state Of political revolt The Repub-
lican campaign managers met the
charge and the complaints with the
question: as 1t rot better that you
farmers submit to these wrongs, which
we all admit, rather than elect a Ro-
man Catholic governor to appoint a
priest superintendent Of schools, and
apportion the school money to the
parochial schools?" Senator Nelson,
then candidate for governor pleaded
for votes, promising legislation that
would remedy every complaint He was
elected. and legislation was enacted
the only effect of which has been to
more securely fasten the grip of the
middlemen upon the grain markets Of
the interior. This year again the old

This evening the Republican party

will be run as though there were no
primary laws. In the Fourth, the
Eighth, and probably in the Second
H.
have nothing commendable in it to say
the least. The fiercest of the fighting
will be in the Fourth ward, where Lib
by and Irish will fight for the dele
gates in support of their various claims
to the shrievalty. In the Second ward
the strength Of the administration will
be at work in behalf Of Ames, the
former partner of Mayor Kiefer. In
the Eighth, Bazille and a half dozen
other candidates will be at work dem
orstrating that Johnson cannot have
the ward for trading purposes. Zoll-
man will fight in every ward in the
city to beat the combination of God
frey and Mcdonald for the nomination
for county attorney. The primaries
will not settle matters by any means,
for the Fourth ward is bound to turn
UP few contests. The campaign has
developed bitterness that is scarcely to
be conceived in an ante-cOnVentiOn
fight, and there will be a schism in the
convention tomorrow that will have a
lasting effect The fight will have the
effect of proving the virtue Of a couple
of political theories: If Ames and John
son win, the efficiency Of a machine
that is supported by the municipal
government will be demonstrated, and
1t will no longer be said that a Repub-
lican mayor has no political power in
st. Paul. The fight is worth watching
from a Democratic point of view, for
it will teach some things that should
be known in order to be avoided.
