support Of the captain is a matter for
him to consider when he gets into con-
ference with his conscience. Neither
was he the least, of the enemies Of
hleter In the convention. Whether mis-
selection Is sop from the Kieferites,
thrown out to disapm his opposition, or
not is also matter that is worth the
While OF some of Ills friends to spec
ulate on. He is. in any event, on record
as being against McCardy on broader
grounds than those of mere partisan

+ In announcingethe, personnel of the
committee. Mr.. Mcdonald took an OPP
portunity to set9aright a. statement that
and Lowenstefn would not be on the
committee because they are persona
non grata to the candidates. He said
this was particularly, untrue as far as
1t applied to Mr..:LoWenstein; that two
OF the candidates. had expressed a wish
that he be appointed on the commit
tee. That he was not appointed was
due to the necessity for giving the
Scandinavians the Third ward place.
The committee is entirely new anu
gives further evidence Of the fact that
kiefer Is out Of joint with the well
known Republican leaders.
The statement by the secretary Of the
Burgerverein to the contrary, it is a
fact that at the meeting of the CLUB
Thursday evening it was clearly dem
onstrated that DR.. Schiffmann's ad-
herents were more numerous than the
K1efer followers, and If Former Police
man Tschida had cared to make an
issue OF it he could easily have forced
declaration for Schiffmann.
The strength of the various parties
was shown when .Tschida@ offered a
resolution indorsing the candidacy Of
DIR. Schiffmann. The chair promptly
| ruled the motor. out of order and there
was scene of some confusion and
three cheers We're called for Schiffmann
and given with will. If Tschida had
cared to FOLLOW up his advantage ne
might have reorganized the club. for
present and Of these nineteen were for
Schiffmann. The matter is by no means
disposed Of yet and it is probable that
the verein will, be disrupted or the
name changed TO one indicating it's
The proposed primaries of the Scan
nell faction that were announced for
last evening did not take place. A re-
porter was unable TO find any evidence
Of caucuses at any Of number Of poll
ing places, indicated in the call.
That eminent statesman and exploiter
Of the theory Of the sugar beet as an
element in the economics Of husbandry,
Senator Henry Keller. of Sank Center,
came into town the other day and gave
his. indorsementafo the candidacy Of his
friend and compatriot, Col. Kiefer. He
was enthusiastic, for one town in
the fatherland boasts the dual honor
Of being the birthplace Of both these
eminent citizens. He delivered a speech
at Kiefer-and those who have heard
the senator deliver speeches will appre-
ciate the fact that the candidate for
Office has to put up with great deal.
He also gave the colonel some advice.
He told him not to get mixed in his
dates. ?, but $ to make his campaign
speeches in English. as there were sure
to be people present who did not under
stand German. 49,,
He gave him some more advice as to
how he ought to run the town when
elected. He wanted him to discharge
the policemen and abolish the, hack
men. For some reason the senator has
acquired a violent dislike for both of
these evidences Of city life -
His attack on the hackmen, which
was given currency by local paper,
was Of a, character to call forth pro-
test from members Of the hackmen's
| union, and a couple Of members Of that
organization called at The G o b e Of
before the public. The committee con-
sisted of John Kripps and Thomas Ire
ton. They made this statement:
I Senator Keller is quoted as saying
that it is not safe to ride In hack
from the hotel to the depot Both Of
us and many other hackmen here know
Keller and have hauled him not only
from the hotel to the depot, but else
where, and we have never heard that
! he quit any loser by it. We never
heard that he had any cause for griev-
| ance. but if he would like to make some
specific charges against any member of
our union we will see to it that full
/ Justice Is done. We feel we have been
injured, as a guild, in the statement
made BY Mr.. Keller and we must in
sist that he be more specific. If he has
been abused we are as ready as any
GLASS; of. citizens could be to set him
right and in justice to us he ought to
/ be more specific This habit that a
certain class of men have Of making
indiscriminate charges against hack
men has got to stop somewhere and we
do not propose to let such a charge as
this go unanswered. Senator Keller
can send his charges to the president
Of our union and, they will be 1nvesti-
gated" 3 l.s.r ~ 7....-.. ...
l. Mayor Doran was unable to leave his
house yesterday and was said to be
| quite unwell. His condition Is not
serious. however, and is said to be the
result Of over anxiety during the ante
convention fight. He has had several
attacks of nervous prostratiOn OF late,
| but this last is the most severe. 1t was
announced that he might possibly be
about today. Probably not until Mon
day.
