According to a story current In polit-
fcal circles since the recent Republican
convention in which Mayor Kiefer and his
adherents were thrown down SO hard. Ii
is all arranged for the mayor to accom-
plish at least one grand coup before he
Indicates. The plan is to arrange a COM
Portable berth for his brother-in-Iaw Nick
Pottgieser, and Head Pusher Bill Ames
on the board Of public works for another
term. How Is this to be accomplished?
Very easily, according to the plans of
those most directly concerned, and, Incl
dentally, Mayor Kiefer will have the sat
isfaction at the same time of getting
even with some aspirants for positions
on the board, who are reported to have
double crossed" the mayor in the re-
cent primaries.
There are at present two vacancies on
the board, being filled by hold-oVer men,
bers. Brother-in-law Nick and Head
Pusher Ames have each served a part of
their respective terms, and could hardly
hope for reappointment under any other
Republican mayor. But If both Pottgieser
and AInes should resign from the board,
leaving their partly-expired terms to be
filed by some one else, 1t Is figured out
by Mayor Kieferi according to the re-
port, that he could Immediately reappoin,
his favorites to the full-term vacancies,
and thus provide nicely for them for two
more years.
