Things have already so shaped
themselves that there is no longer any
doubt but that the pre-convention fight
In the Republican party in this county
is going to be the bitterest in the his
tory of the party" said a Republican
politician who knows what he is talk
ing about yesterday. 1T is going to
be Kiefer and anti-Kiefer to a finish.
The mayor proposes to have control of
the machine Of the party and have his
own men in the county offices so far
as possible. 1t is the county machine
that counts, and he does not propose
that the offices in the court house shall
be filled by men VINO will be likely to
oppose his congressional aspirations.
&c af h. l,
have to do his fighting now and the
campaign is practically framed up.
HIS close friends have been gathering
about certain candidates within a
couple of days in such a manner that
there is no doubt of what he intends.
1t was kiefer that settled the deter
Elnation of Billy Johnson to make the
run for auditor instead of sheriff.
johnson has been framing up the
shrievalty nomination for some time,
but was hauled off at the finish and
given the proper start for the other
nomination by Kiefer's direction.
George Gerlich and Henry Yost and
the Kiefer people generally were in
the movement to give Johnson the SUD-
port of the Eighth. OF course all know
that the meeting Of Monday night re-
sulting in the Endorsement Of Billy
may mean nothing at all, but 1t shows
the front Of the campaign. Johnson
and Bill Ames are playing together,
and the mayor is behind it ALL If he
could get Ames into the sheriffs office,
the control Of the county would be
practically assured to Kefer. The alli-
ance is menace to a good many Of
the other candidates, and they will not
wait to be forced into fight. They'll
go looking for it. There is the Fourth
ward. Do you suppose that Schiff-
mann and Donahower and that crowd
will sit down and let Kiefer do any
business in that ward? Not in a CEN
tury. They'll simply drop their ward
row and line up with the proposition
that kiefer has got to be suppressed.
ihey nave great advantage over any
of the other wards, for thew ALWAYS
vote solidly, and they can beat any
one or two men they go after. AS sure
