The Cofeyville Record, a Harris pa
per, says that Horace Kiefer has let
the cat out of the bag" and that keef-
ef IS making his campaign this year IN
the interest ofsHearst for president. the
object being to turn the Populist party
over to the Independent league. The
Record says:
Horace Andrew Kiefer. populist
candidate for governor. landed in this
office Wednesday morning in his still
hunt over the state in the interests of
the Republican party. BY some hook
or crook he had gotten mixed on the
brand of the Records politics and
we know that our interests are iden-
| teal this year in that we want to en-
compass the defeat of Senator w. A.
Harris
we made an error right at this
point by announcing in no uncertain
terms that we were supporting Mr.
Harris and fully expected to see him
elected by handsome majority. Had
we allowed Kiefer a gOodly amount of
rope, it is certain he would have given
away a number of diplomatic secrets
that would have been valuable to the
voters OF this section
when questioned why the populist
party was making contest this year.
when the Democrats had adopted the
major portion of the things demanded

bag IN this way You see he said,
the Independence league intends put
ting full ticket in the field in every
state in the union next year. and they
proposed to US populist leaders to take
over our organization and use it in
Kansas. Hearst and his supporters
have a fund of $4,000. 900 to use for
the furthering Of the cause of the
league, and it was for the purpose of
having a working organization that we
got INTO the fight this fall So there
YOU are. The populist party is to be
turned over to Hearst and his hide
pendence league at so much per turn,
presumably.
This. then, is the secret of the ac-
| tivity Of Mr.. keefer. He proposed to
turn over his party to Hearst and his
people in hope of controlling the state
Z III he fc he

tracted the sale of his party to anoth-

populists like that?"
