II had a lengthy interview with Mr..
McReynolds. In an effort to obtain an ex-
PLANTATION satisfactory TO me. regarding
the handling OF the settlement. We In

II shall continue TO urge the resolu-
tions before the Committee on Rules In
an effort to obtain a favorable report TO

To Keep Up the Fight.
The gist Of this interview Is contained
in a letter which Mr.. Kindsl has ad-
dressed to the President
II have eighteen months to serve yet,
whether they best me after that or
not" said Mr.. Kindel yesterday. II
came on here to make a certain fight in
which the people OF the Middle West
are vitality interested. / do not belong
in politics; I am too prone TO say what
think, but I intend TO give them
merry eighteen months whether they
step in and defeat me after that or not.
I'll make the fight I promised my peo-
pie to make. and Congress can take the
consequences"
Mr. KindeII woke up yesterday morn
ing to find himself headlined as the
tool OF David Lamar.
Mr.. Kindel has been playing with II.
B. Martin and Herman Schulteis, who
conduct an ''antl-trust'' league here

nished Kindel the information upon
which he based the fight on Attorney
General McReynolds' handling of the
dissolution case. They keep informed
OF all KindeTs movements and Lamar
works the publicity end. Lamar, Fri

of its accuracy. And I wouldn't have TO

while / do not believe there is dan
ger Of a rapid spread of the disease
there now, there is no question but
that the people Of California should be

plague carriers. all species OF rodents.
II the rats and ground squirrels are
wiped out. the plague which is taking
