COULD NOT SAVE THE DAY FOR
KIEFER AT JAROSZ'S
HALL
sCHIFFMANN Is INDoRsED
Eighth Ward Meeting Presided
Over by August KaIdunskl
Goes to the Fourth
Warder.

Kiefer hasn't as much strength as 1t was
supposed he had in that particular part
OF the city. and the other that Reeves
and Chester Smith are out OF 1t so far
that they will never get to the post in
time fol the start.
The meeting had been called by printed
notices, and In small type at the bottom
urged particularly the friends of Schiff-
mann to attend. Neither Schiffmann nor
his friends knew anything about the
call, and the conclusion was drawn that
the meeting was to indorse Smith or
Reeves or Kiefer and then use the fact
that Schiffmann meeting had done 1t.
1t didn't work. although a large
number of street employees were on hand.
Neither Reeves nor Smiths names were
mentioned. and the meeting indorsed
| Schiffmann Custodian Gerlich tried to
turn the Schiffmann tide for Kiefer. but
the current would not be stemmed, and
the custodian of the city hall and court
house was engulfed in the wave.
EX-Ald. August Kaldunsh was made
temporary chairman. Oar Reese was
! there and made a short speech in favor of
Fred c. Schiffmann. He gave as one of
the reasons that the Republican party
has tried Wright. Doran and Kiefer, the
! present mayor. and that the people want
a change. He said that they wanted a
| young business man nominated, as they
were tired Of the "old fogies." After he
had finished, Joseph Marloe made mo-
ton to indorse Fred C. Schiffmann, and
was seconded by H. L. Tankersley. The
chairman declared the motion carried.
The meeting was very brief. lasting only
about half an hour
The mid-road Populist city committee
met at the office of ]. c.. Hanley in the
Baltimore block, yesterday afternoon and
! filled vacancies on the committee, caused
by fusion. The committee has decided to
put full ticket in the field this spring
They also decided to have all mid-road
Populists, who desire to serve as judges
| or election, report at 500 Mississippi
! street, to register from their respective
| precincts. The call for the spring cam
paign will be issued In few days. DR..
H. B. Fay, national committeeman ad-
dressed the meeting and condemned fu-
sion In vigorous terms.
State Senator ]. H. Smith, of Detroit,
was in town over Sunday, returning to
his home last evening. The congress
sional fight in the Seventh district is wax
ing very warm. Senator Smith asserts
and at present 1t would be difficult to
I figure the outcome.
| Eddy Is making strong fight" said
the senator, and he may win out
| 'Dr. Cole, of Fergus Falls, and E. G.
| Valentine, of Breckenridge, are both
strong men. and whatever the result Is
| 1t will be no walkaway for any one I
understand that Moorhead and Willmar
both have candidates
The Seventh district is so large and
covers such a large area that it is diff
hcult to make anything near a correct
| estimate of any candidates strength"
meeting of the Central Democratic
organization of the Eighth ward will be
held tonight at Jarosz's hall, Thomas
and Gaultier streets.
In the Sixth ward the race for the
Democratic nomination for the board %
! aldermen appears to have narrowed
! down to one between M J.. Moriarity. for
several years ward committeeman, and
/ Frank Baer, who made the race during
the last city campaign. Former County
Commissioner Peter DAILY. of the Tenth
precinct, Is also a candidate. From the
present outlook and sentiment expressed
from those who reside on the West side
| of the river it looks very much like D.
Democratic alderman from the Sixth.
John G. Wardeil, of the Sixth ward
| who was a candidate for the assembly
on the Democratic ticket during the last
city campaign, has consented to allow
his name to be used at the coming CON
Vention for the Office of assemblyman Mr.
Wardeii Is president of the Spa Bottling
company.
The talk about the several wards hav-
ing decided in favor of certain candi-
dates for the Republican assembly ticket
does not carry much weight At the
| last Republican city convention Armand
Albrecht and George f. Dix were turned
down by their respective wards. but when
| the ticket was made up both were given
places on 1t. The plan in the convention
| Is to appoint a committee to fill up the
! assembly ticket, and If this is in force
| at the next convention, as 1t probably will
be, the Endorsement of favorite sons by
ward delegations will have but little in
| huence on the result.
Assemblyman Nelson, who Is a candi-
date for city treasurer on the Republican
| ticket, was feeling jubilant last evening
| over the withdrawal of former Aid. Lin
dahl from the race for the nomination.
| Friends of Nelson claim that with Lin
| dahl out Nelson will have the First ward
| delegation solid, and with the delegates
from the Fourth and Ninth wards for
him his nomination is assured. Mr.. Mel
son admitted last evening that the
chances for his nomination were very
bright.
Aid. Donahower, at present president OF
| the board of aldermen, has decided to
seek denomination. 1t is contended
that his denomination will strengthen
| the Schiffmann fences not only in the
Fourth, but other wards.
Aid. Bell IS going to have a fight on
his hands for the aldermanic nominatIon
in the Sixth ward and he is pulling ever1,
string to be again renominated FIa
latest move was a resolution introduced
In the board of aldermen directing the
building inspector 10 report as to the er-
| pense Of placing a heating plant In the
brick portion of the old Humboldt school
building. The announced plan of the al
derman IS to take the boilers now In use
In the new Humboldt school building
which are said to be too small and nut
them in the old building. A larger boiler
will be secured for the new building.
The idea Of the alderman Is to pay for
the fitting up of the old school building
from the general fund and while increas-
ing the school capacity not use any of
the school funds.
