LOYAL TO BRUMBAUGH.
And l believe there is one other very
important matter that has caused Mr.
Ware to hesitate until the present time
as to the mayoralty matter, and that Is
the presidency In 1916. Having presented
the name of Governor-elect Brumbaugh
for the presidency at a dinner given by
him last December TO a number Of dis
tinguished and influential Republican
leaders-Senators and Congressman from
other States-Mr Ware feels that his duty
to the Governor Is to do everything in
his power to advance the interest Of Gov
ernor Brumbaugh, in the event of his
being n candidate for President and the
problem SO perplexing to him is how
it best can be done, whether by continu-
ing as Congressman, which puts him in
close touch with influential Republicans
from every State in the Union. or by
Welding to the insistent and persistent
demands Of hosts of friends from every
ward i'm the city of Philadelphia to stand
for the mayoralty. But, above ALL the
question with Mr.. Ware is: In which po-
sition can he best serve his party and at
the same time promote the public good

More details also of Kayser's religious
and business activities were uneartheu
today. Kayser founded MS lnuepenueht
Lutheran Church eight years ago. IL was
not subject to rule of the central
Lutheran bodies. The minister bought
up many acres of land surrounding his
church. divided them into lots and then
sold them to Germans whom he persuad-
ed to come here from the old country
and to Germans whom he interested on
trips to New Jersey, Pennsylvania Mary
land, New York and Missouri.
Kayser received $50 monthly as pastor
of his church. He lived handsomely how
ever, presumably, the police say. on the
profit on his lot sales. He had confded
TO the postmaster, close personal
friend, that he had frequently been
threatened for charging one settler more
than another for a lot. 1t has been va
rictsly estimated that he proited to the
