BOTH POLITICAL PARTIES FACE
FOLK AND HAWES PARTISANS
UNITED IN COMMON DEFENSE
First Decisive Conflict Between Democratic Organization Expected
Tomorrow Night, When City Central Coaunittee Sleets Bone
of Contention to Be Removal of Headquarters From Jefferson
Club. Presumably to Home of Butler Adherents Culmination
of Plan Formed Several Weeks Ago.
SAID THAT BREWERS ARE
Strange as it may seem to the casual
political observer, the Hawes and Folk
partisans within the Democratic party In
St. Louis have :eemlngly formed an alli
ance, offensive and defensive, against what
appears in N a common enemy, the ul
ieged combination of the Ln-mp-Butlcr-
Kinney forceii.
There is every Indication that the first
decisive comllct between the two camps
is to come to-morrow night at the meet
ins f the Democratic City Central Com
mittee at tha Jeflerscn Club. The" bone
of contention will be the removal of the
headquarters of the City Committee from
tha Jefferson Club to some other place,
presumably the St. Louis Democratic
Club, the home of the Iiutlcr orsanlxation.
Every tre-mbtr of the cunumitce wnucau
be Influenced by the Jeffer.-on Club and
the frknJs'of ilr. iiawes and those com
mitteemen who are the representatives of
tiovernor Folk will be united on the propo
sition that a vote for removal Is a blow
to llawrt. as well us to Folk. Tlio expres
sion was heard frequently yesterday that
an affirmative decision en the resolution,
which will duubtlcj lie introduced, will be
taken us u practical capture of the Demo
cratic organization by the Butlers and
their latest allies.
Leading Democrats who aro close to
Governor Folk declared that n decisive
moment had arrived in party affairs and
that the exigencies of the occasion de
mand d that all loyal party men should
Mr.nd together at n time when a false
stp misht mean future disaster.
Ily the l!a en supporters this coup which
their opponents are expecting to effect Is
taken as the culmination of a carefully
p!an:i.rl t-cheme which has been in the
course of formation far many week. The
published statements of Senator Kinney,
in which Jlawcs was attacked and the
pa unt It t was thrown down to the preunt
organization by the Fourth Ward leader.
Is ix-IIeved by tlu-m to be but the tlrst
dNcIos-ure of a duply laid plot In which
Kinney Is represented a an automaton in
the hands of Charles bmp. the Itutlers
and the brewery Interests of the city.
ItltKWKRS BEHIND SCHEME?
It is th'lr claim that the brewtrs are
behind the M-htnio to secure the control
of tha Democratic organization nr.d that
L tni is the active man behind the prop
osition. In the snme connection it is an-
si rted. and evidently with good reason,
that tlw same interests nr after the It
oublican committee Ht:d that Otto Stlfel.
tlie North Side brwer. It counted upon to
do tlw work among tbe Hi-publicans.
The practical result to be obtained
wouM -tx the handling; of the legislative
and cnKreslonal conventions next spring
and summer anil the naming of candi
dates for the Legislature who would rep
roent thtt interests of the browers nnI
the saloon element In the next legisla
ture. The delegations to the next State
convention would bo handled by the jm
influence",
Il is tills feature of the game which has
caui-ed the strong union of action between
the Hawts nn 1 the Folk ople. Jlr.

ORGANIZED
BAH
ANXIOUS TO BE IN CONTROL
rally desire to retain that position. Gov
ernor Folk' supporter feel that this la
the time to gtt into position to act next
year, when tbe Governor political future
may be at stake and when bis administra
tion and his policies will be drawlnv the
lire of both the Republicans and those
within his own party who disagree with
his Idea as to law enforcement.
In tho present skirmish the Folk-Hawe.
Interests are Identical, which very rea
sonably explains the friendly relation
which exist bctwtcn the two element
which were moving along distinct Unes in
the prtconventlon campaicn of hurt year.
Senator Kinney Is comiiuc In for a Ian
share of criticism throughout the city for
the position which ho la maintaining. It
is charged that h has assumed too much
credit for Democratic victories In tbe past
and that he Is not entitled to tbe prestige
which hns been his in recent rars.
A prominent Democrat, who Is m. cos-
fMentia! friend and udrtser of Mr. Hawes,
said yesterday:
WHAT VOTE SHOWED.
"It has been claimed time and time
again thnt It was Kinney's ward that
elected Well ami the statement, having
gone unchallenged, has not only produced
it very bad imprtaston throughout the etty
but has given Kinney considerable credit
which was not his due. A study of tho
election figures show some very Interest
ing facts, when the vote at the late mu
nicipal election Is compared with the vote
cast in November. Wi.
"First, that every Republican ward to
SL Louis showed a Democratic gain.
"Second, the Democrats gained In twenty-two
wards In tho city and fell back In
only six.
"Third, that Kinney's rard feU back S
KT cent, or 1JSJ vote.
'"Fourth, that the total loss In the ate
wards by the Democrats was Z30I votes,
and the figures also show that of this
amount Kinney lost 1.35 vote in his
wariU against 1.119 votes n the other Ave
wards; or. putting It In another way.
Kinney's ward lost more votes than all
the other wards In the city put together.
"Fifth, that If Kinney's ward had done
anything like as good work relatively
speaking, as was done In all the other
wards of the city, not only would the en
tire Democratic ticket have been elected.
but more than l.(W would have been added
to the majorities of those now In office.
"The figures are based upon the votes
cast for Blevlns nd Kinney In lt and
the vote for Dlerkes and Doering In 1MJ.
These comparisons are used because Wells
and Folk ran ahead of their tickets, and
these contrasts show the best and fairest
avt rages.
"The Folk or Wells vote would not have
effected the comparison, so far as the
Fourth Ward Is concerned, because they
ran even with their tickets, but would,
on the other hand, have shown much to
the advantage of other committeemen.
"Credit should b given where It Is due.
Tlie wards showing the best results are
the Twenty-eighth. Twenty-fifth. Twelfth.
Ninth. Tenth and Thirteenth. The ward
showing th worst return in the whole
city is the Fourth Ward."

Bepnblican Row Develops That
Attack Will Be Made on Tvnth
District Congressman.
STIFa-PilEDWrvGHAUS PACT.
Endeavors of Brewery Interests
to Control City Politics Said
to Be Chargeable for
New Deal.
The startling development In the Repub
lican row yesterday was the announce
ment, which was not generally spread
boat, however, that the combination
which Is vainly endeavoring to revolution
tie the City Committee had taken a new
tack, and that Congressman Richard Bar.
tholdt of the Tenth District was to be the
point of attack for the present.
It was mated on th best of authority
that Otto Stlfel. who new appears as tha
guiding star of th Cteaners." who
humped against a stone wall in their ef
forts to knock out Chairman Ludwbr and
the big six In tlie City Committee, was
la the open as against Congressman Bar
tholin for renoralnatlon. and that the com
bined efforts of Stifel and the Nledrlng
haus followers In the Tenth District would
be exerted against the South 8t. Louis
representative who for several terms com
prised the Republican congressional dele
gates from Mlssr-uri.
Th combination which was made to
place Jeptha D. Howe In the chairman
ship of th committee and which has
failed for tbe time being for a simple lack
of suflpcient vote to do business. Is credit
ed with being engineered hy SUM. rei-
resenting the allied brewery Interests, n
was the hope that the city committee
would be brought Into line first and that
naturally the congressional and legislative
committees would follow as a matter of
course.
With the failure of the combination to
oust Ludwlg. which endeavor was thwart
ed last week by the temporary alliance
or tne Big Six and the Taltylles. the
original plan miscarried to a certain ex
tent. Being in a position to attain their
desires In tho Tenth Congressional Dis
trict it is now the determination to go
after the Bartholdt scalp.
It Is claimed that the oponents cf Bar
tholdt are now In control of the Eighth
Ward through Howe, who is said to be re
sponsible for the position now h-Id by
Committeeman Harry Bear; the Eleventh.
through Ed Koeln. who is the president
of the Retail Liquor Dealers Association
and who Is supposed to. be at the beck and
call of 8tlfel and the brewery interests;
the Twelfth, through Louis Alt. who Is
credited as being a cog In the new com
bination; and the Twenty-fourth, through
Yed Smith, who has been prominent In
the councils of the "Cleaners." All these
In South St. Louis, where the peace-promoting
Congressman has heretofore been
strong.
ROUGH SAIIJNO AHEAD.
In North St. Louis Committeeman Bader
of the Nineteenth, which Is Stlf-l's ward.
I represented as being agatn.it Bartholdt.
and the one precinct of the Twenty-seventh,
which lies tn the Tenth District. Is
expected to be turned In by Howe.
hen It I taken Into consideration that
Fri-d Essen, the Republican boss of St.
Louis County, has practically announced
his candidacy for the congressional nomi
nation, with the understanding which has
gone forth that St. Louis County would be
for him. it would seem that Congressman
Bartholdt has some rough sailing ahead
of him.
If Stifel and his lieutenants maintain the
position which they have taken within
the Inst few days, and set about the tak
of cleaning up the Tenth District con
gressman, politicians) believe that they
may be more successful than they have
been In grabbing the city organization.
It is said that the Ntedringbaus op
position to Bartholdt dat-s back to the
campaign which preceded the Republican
senatorial caucus. For several days when
the senatorial fight was nearlng It crbl,
the Xledrlnghaus lieutenants about the
Laclede Hotel headquarters kept the-Ir
ears to the ground listening for rumors
from Washington, which might give some
Indication as to the direction Bartholdt
was to take In the contest.
Too late to be of practical service to the
State chairman, tbe announcement came
that Congrnsman Bartholdt was for
Nicdrlngha'Js. and pres-ntI him with
those members of the Legislature who had
been favorable- to Bartholdt. It w:i whis
pered about that the Congressman did not
take this action until It had been 'made
cl-ar to him that he could not t- nominat
ed, and that his position at that time and
later in the contest after the deadlock
hail arisen was most displeasing to the
Vl.,lrinh ..,. ,irt-.r
PHOCKSS OF UUMINATION.
It was ids' said that friends or the State
Chairman have begun a proce.of elimina
tion of all senatorial possibilities with the
view to leaving Mr. Nltdrituchaus the hole
logical candidate In the field when th- time
arrives for the Republicans to. make an
other senatorial fight. In this they are
said to have the active support of Stifel
and th- brew-ry Interests, and that the
close communion which is all-g.d to exist
between the two elements. te which are

RErrm.Te special.
Philadelphia. Pa.. Aug. 1Z-Th United
State battleship Kansas was launched at
12: o'clock in the yards of the New Tor;
Ship Building Company, tn 8-uth Camden.
Miss Anna Hoch, the dough ter of Edward.
W. Hock, of Topeka. Governor of Kansas
acted as sponsor. An old school chirm.
Miss Ora Allen, assisted h-r as maid of
leonor. Assembled to see the vessel leaar
the ways was a dltlngulshrd company.
Tho Governor party. Including hU wtf
and daughter, numbered about thirty.
They arrived her yesterday morning ovos
the Lehigh Valley. Philadelphia am. Read
ing route. Besides those who assisted In
the christening, there were a few personal
friends of the Governor In the party an4
several companion of Miss Koch's.
Besld'-s tbe Westerners, naval officers
from Washington were present. Th naval ..
officers srsrrtoftetf "here, aji well as men of I
prominence In aB walks of life, attended
the launching.
MISS HOCH SEUP-POSSESSED.
Miss Hoch was not a bit nervous. Sh.
is a typical Western girl, rear less, frank,
unassuming, realbdng the honor given,
her.
Both Miss Hoch and Miss Ora Allen, hers
maid of honor, were dressed in whit.
They are both students ami roommates la
Baker University. Baldwin. Kas. Mis
Hoch wore a dress of white crisplne.
hand embroidered, simple but rich, with
a white hat trimmed with white ostrich)
plumes to match. Miss Allen was at
tired tn white Persian town trimmed with
Valenciennes lace, and also wore a whit
hat with tr!ch plumes of the same color.
The members of Governor Iloch's staff.
Generals and Colonels of the Kansas Na
tional Guard. were1n full dress uniform.
Most of the other men and women had
pinned In a conspicuous place n sunflower,
the emblem of their Stat.
To the surprise, and not a little to th
discomfiture of the naval officials present,
it wav learned after the launching that th
battleship, which Is one of tier finest ln
the United States Navy, had been christ
ened with spring water.
WATER USED FOR CHRISTENING;.
When Miss Hoch broke the bottle, which
was of the shape of a champagne lottI
and had the silver nickel work around it.
against the prow of the bur fighting craft
and uttered th words: "I chrNten the
Kansas." It was) noticed that the usual
"pnt" and bubbling of th- win- was at
sent. Instead there was a splash of wa
ter, which dripped down the bow of th
batt'-shlp.
rpon inquiry th naval ofle-rs present
th-n learned that plain ppttng water ha-1
been used on the Kansas and that It was
at Governor Hoeh's suggestion that th
unusual change was made. He mad ti:a
announcement aft-r the launching that
the christening bottle contained only wa
ter. NAVAL SUPERSTITION.
This Is th- first time that plain watP
has ever been used to christen a bat
tleship of the United S'.ates Navy. A
popular superstltutton of sailors Is that
ill lack Is bound to b-fali any ship whieTs
enters the water without having mm)
kind of wine sprinkled upon htr. What
the re.ult of th- change In the usual form
of ceremony will be Is being coujtictured
by many.
Th" Kansas Is a ship of which lhe people
of the Stat- may well be proud. She Is ct
a type representing tho heavl-st of UncU
Sam's ship of war. Thi displacement of
th- Kansas. .. tons, will make, h-r a
fighting ship In -very sens of tho wurJ
In fact, a floating fortr-i of great r.r
mldabtllty. Whll- hulls of greater weight
that of the Washington, for instance-.
have weighed more when they went over
board that doe not affect her statu ot
being the bigg-st battleship ever launch!
mto the Delaware.
When she left the ways she weighed la
the neighborhood of 7.W tons, while the
hull of the Washington was heavier by
I.4U) tons. At the same time, the displace
ment of the cruiser is 14.S. tons. whll
the trial displacement of tbe Kansas la
14.0CO ton.
LUSCHEON TO GUESTS.
Following tn- launching luncheon was
served to the Invited guests In the offices
of th company. Congratulations were In
order and brief spe-chea of ' felicitation
ma'.
Later !n the afternoon Governor Hoch
and th members of his party went down
to Atlantic City, where they will remain
over Sunday On Monday they will go
tn Washington. After a day spent In
sightseeing the party will leave for th
West, their intention being to pssa by
