COURTNEY CASE CONTINUED, Chris Kopp, who yesterday surrendered himself to the Sheriff ot Wyandotte county, at Kansas City, to answer Indictments found against him for bribery, Is well known in Louisville, where he has a number of relatives. A good part of his life until some twenty years ago was spent on his father's farm back of Jeffersonville, and he was there until last Saturday night, whan he started for home. Kopp Is a son of George Kopp, a truck farmer, who lives in the MeCui-loch neighborhood, west of Jeffersonville, and it was to see his mother, who is now alarmingly ill, that he claimed to have come home. He was at his father's home a month, and said he had been away from home about two months before reaching there. He asserted that he had been on a hunt in the Indian nation, but when he concluded to visit his parents he did not go back to his home, but direct to Indiana.

So far as known he said little about his troubles growing out of his actions while a Councilman at Kansas City, and his Indiana relatives did not know that he had been impeached before he came on a visit. While at the home of his father last Saturday Kopp received a. telegram from his wife telling him to come home at once, and lator in the day a message of the same Import came from his attorney. Kopp did not appear to be alarmed over the summons, but took Charles Crandall, a young man whose home is near Jeffersonville, with him. It having been agreed that Kopp should find a position for his companion.

He did not tell any one why he had been called away so suddenly. Kopp is well off and has a large bakery in Kansas City. He is about thirty-eight years old and has a family. When he left Jeffersonville twenty years ago he was a poor boy, but by hard work he saved up considerable money and opened a bakiry, which he increased in capacity some two or tnree times. A brother.

The investigation of the charges preferred against Thomas Courtney, by Sergt. Adams was to have been last evening by the Board of Metropolitan Police Commissioners at New Albany. George H. Hester appeared as attorney for Courtney and objected to the Investigation for the reason'tthat sufficient notice had not been giv'eH'his client, according to the sections of the book of rules governing such cases. The board continued the investigation until Thursday night, February 4, and tha witnesses present were instructed to attend on that evening, without further notice.

1 Courtney is the New Albany patrolman who was arrested early last Tuesday morning by his superior officer, Sergt. Adams, the roundsman, and Patrolman Spence, on charge of intoxication, LAdams preferred charges Tuesday against Courtney of intoxication, neglect of duty, insubordination and disrespect and drawing a weapon on his superior officer. Courtney was suspended by Superintendent Shutt and a hearing of the charges was set for last evening. He will be required to answer In Magistrate Fogle's court to-day to a charge of intoxication. The officer accused denies absolutely the charge of intoxication and will make a vigorous fight In the court.

After the meeting of the Board of 'Metropolitan. Police Commissioners adjourned last evening, charges were preferred by Courtney against Sergt. Adams. The charge accuses Adams of having arrested Courtney without cause and with loitering in saloons while on duty. Adams will be given a hearing by the commissioners Monday.

Edited by CASPAR WHITNEY Interest in outdoor iire agents travel like any other drummers. They visit the Democratic editors, and politicians; they call on the men who were once postmasters and who are willing to so back into office. In scores of congressional districts, scattered throughout the country, this giant and Elecpless organization has "fixed the slate" for Hearst delegates to the National Democratic Convention. VII. The Pacific Coast is said to be nearly solid 01- Hearst This new Democratic leader conies from that settlon and Is popular there.

If his popularity is not sufficient to win him delegates, his or ganiizaition and his methods come to the rescue. Many Democratic politicians of the West are hard-up. They have been out of office, both, federal and local, for a long time. They need funds. Scores of patriots would like to go as delegates to the national convention If they only had: the wherewithal.

To such the Hearst movement has come as an artsel of mercy. When, the national Democratic convention meets there are people who are going to be surprised to find bow many delegates from the remote regions, involving heavy bills for Uie railway tickets and hotel exnenses. are for Hearst. What Sherman and Alger and other Republicans used to try to do among the "darky" delegates from the South the Hearst people have -been essaying on a large scale in many parts ot me country. And as eminent Republicans set the precedent, I can't see that they are entitled to throw any stones.

There are Democrats, however, whot do not like the prospect of having the party involved in a scandal of this sort, and they are already denouncing the methods of Uiis unique campaign "Uiis seeking the Presidency with check and check-book," as a Democratic Senator characterized It. VIII. For some time it has been whispered in Washington that upon his return from Europe, William Jennings Bryan was to come out for Hearst. According to the story. Mr.

Bryan felt grateful to Hearst for the loyal support given him by the Hearst newspapers during his two campaigns, and for the- princely contributions which Mr. Hearst personally made to the Bryan campaign fund. Besides, according to the narrative which has been passed around among Democratic Senators and representatives, Mr. Bryan is ambitious to be Secretary of State under the coming Democratic Administration, and has an understanding with Mr. Hearst on this score.

Whether or not there is any foundation for this story, I am unable to say, and I freely confess that I do not believe it. It Is not like Mr. Bryan to throw his Influence for any indl vidual; he is much more likely to stand neutral between all the Demo cratic aspirants, only insisting that the nominee shall not be Mr. Gorman, -Mr. Hill.

Mr. Cleveland or any other man distasteful to him. I give this bit of gossip merely as gossrp, and as radio ative cf the proportions which the Hearst boom is assuming. In two places this most ingeniously and cleverly worked Hearst presidential boom has been a disappointment to the man most interested in it. At one time Mr.

Hearst thought he would have little trouble in "fixing" the Democracy of New lork and of Chicago. He reckoned on the influence of his papers In those cities to secure him the loyalty of Tammany and of the Chicago De mocracy. He did not believe the leaders in those cities would dare stand against him. But up to date neither the Tammany nor the Chicago people have shown any indication of joining the Hearst clubs, thougn, of course, he would be a rash man who predicted what they may or may not do when the battle gets hot. Meanwhile the Hearst literary bureaus in New York, Chicago and Washington are working like well-oiled machines.

The bureau here is in charge of a clever newspaper man, who has the additional advantage of being a sort of confidential secretary to the leader of the Democrats in the House of Representatives, John Sharp Williams. This bureau has a local newspaper on its staff and has done some exceedingly effective work by Interviewing members of Congress and publishing the results. It was cleverly contrived to introduce the name of Hearst in nearly all these interviews, favorably, if possible, but in some manner, at all hazards. The purpose was obvious enough; it was to educate the public mind to the fact that Mr. Hearst was actually a presidential candidate, to keep him before the country.

Mr. Hearst's trump card, one which more than anything else indicates the Napoleonic character of his campaign, and the one upon which he relies to win him the game in the Democratic National convention, is the S3, 000,000 con tribution which he is ready to make to the Democratic national campaign fund. A New Yorker, who usually speaks from full information where the Hearst boom is concerned, says the Hearst managers will virtually say to the Democratic leaders: "You cannot elect any candidate without a big campaign fund. There are two ways in which you can raise the necessary money. One is by selling out to the trusts, taking their money and promising them immunity in legisla tion, just as the Republicans have done with the trusts and the protected man ufacturing interests.

The other way is to nominate a candidate who will see to it that all the money needed is sub scribed without any scandal, without any mortgaging of the party, without laying ourselves liable to the charge before the country that we have sold out. Mr. Hearst is ready to put in all the money that Is required to cari-y the country. If you nominate him you cannot fail to win. With any other candidate the outlook is dubious.

Is it possible for a rich and ambitious man to buy his way into the presidency of the United States? This is a question many Democrats are now discussing-. To the surprise of some and to the disgust of others, the Democratic party is menaced "with a serious scandal the scandal of a deliberate. persistent and possibly successful effort to buy the Democratic presidential nomination and the presidency itself. ruLiiuuij.il neii: uiu hmu who is tr'ing to do this. He has been at it a long tim and he has made more headway than most people suppose he has.

It is not the purpose of this dispatch to denounce or even to criticise Mr. Hearst only to study, analyze, describe his fairly and impartially, just as the nonpartisan observer and writer for the press studies and describes any other political movement or public activity which assumes sufficient importance to merit attentlcn. XJroba.bly of all the presidency-seeking movements seen in the United Suites this one is the most peculiar and picturesque. Certainly the story cf it forms an interesting chapter of current history I. How long ago it was that Mr.

Hearst conceived the idea that he could make himself President of the United States no one seems to know, but the notion has been in his mind for several years. Apparently he has never lost sight of it. One is compelled to admire the skill, the persistency, the courage, the genius with which this young man has pursued his ambition. He is a young man about thirty-eight. He never held a public office until his election as n.

Tammany Congressman a year ago. He had never been known as a statesman, or even as a politician, and was not suspected of being either, until he started his presidential boom. Up to this time the American press has for the most part studiously ignored Mr. Hearst's quest for the presidency. "Whether or not this was due to professional jealousy, or to a belief that the movement did not amount to much, I am unable to say.

Put it is clear that Mr. Hearyt cannot longer be ignored by papers which conscientiously seek to give the history of the day. He Is a factor In the Democratic presidential situation. He may not win the nomination, but he is a bidder for it a strong, earnest, persistent bidder and the politicians of his party arriving here for the National Committee meeting are amazed at the strength his personally conducted presidential tour has taken on. With this daring and ambitious young American the fact that he had ncw-r had any training which would fit him for the presidency did not deter him from seeking that office.

He at once began to train for the chief magistracy. He read history, studied political economy and international law and crammed himself full of the Constitution and of municipal ownership. He has conscientiously endeavored to prepare himself for the duties of the great office which he hopes to occupy. Nor did he permit the fact that he was comparatively unknown to the mass of his fellow-countrymen to restrain him from seeking their suffrage. If he was not known he would make himself known.

Where there is a will there is a way. and in the lexicon of youth chasing the Presidency there Is no such word as fail. So Mr. Hearst out to advertise himself. In this he showed genius of the highest order.

If he had been the proprietor of a liver pill or a new breakfast food he would have made his fortune through successful advertising. He boomed himself in bis own papers In New York, Chicago and San Francisco. He at one time was ready to start papers in other cities and had his eye on Washington, Boston and St. Louis. He did try to buy established papers in some of these cities, but, finding the prices rather high, he concluded it would be cheaper to hire space in them, os any other advertiser would do, instead of purchasing the establishments outright.

With a prominent. Eastern paper, admirably located for reaching the eyes of public men, he has a regular advertising contract, though the advertisements of Mr. Hearst do not appear In the advertising columns, but as "pure reading matter." II. Naturally Mr. Hearst has found his own papers the best and cheapest ad-vestising mediums.

They have a large circulation, and numbers make up any deficiency in quality. The readers of these papers not only know who Mr. Hearst is, but they have been educated to believe that he is one of the greatest men of the times. Like all good advertisers. Mr.

Hearst knows the value of a catchy title, and above all of iteration of "pounding It In." Therefore one day his readers learn that "William Kandulph Hearst" has done so and so: the next day "William Ran- dolph Hearst" has written such and such a letter or address. Thus what all clever advertisers seek, the "cumu- lative effect," was attained, and after several years of this Mr. Hearst is al- most as well known to the readers of Mr. Hearst's newspapers as President Roosevelt, drover Cleveland Murk Hanno. III.

Mr. Hearst's ambition to be President must have been formed during or prior to 1900. For it was in the presidential campaign of that year that he first appeared upon the horizon of national politics as a political figure. He was loyal to Mr. Dryan and to the Democratic ticket.

At Ills own expense he organized a league of Democratic clubs, which elected him their president and did a deal of work for the Democratic cause. Mr. Hearst has a genius for organizing clubs, and that league of Democratic clubs with William Randolph Hearst as president is In existence to-day. Mr. Hearst has never spared expe-nse In carrying on political activities.

He paid the salaries of the men who organized al! tlu-se clubs. He got up a demonstration in honor of Col. Bryan in New York four years ago and paid all th- bills. For the paper? particularly en pa pe rs a almost every day contained news of the organization 01 "HVarst clubs" at various points throughout the country.

Auditor George B. a Is not dimcult to organize a cult), pro vided there is some one willing to pay the rent of the room In which the club meets, with perhaps something over for ordtirs on the nwirby or bar. By this time there must be in existence several hundred, possibly several thousand, of these Hearst clubs, and a national convention of them is said to be on tho programme.

If these clubs do meet in national convention just before the assembling of the Democratic national convention, almost any one may guess whom they will nominate as their candidate for President of the United States. IV. No one should imagine for a moment that Mr. Hearst is a man without genuine ability or even of small ability. Wholly apart from his undoubted success as a newspapQr publisher and his peculiar genius for political organization, he has taken the lead in several matters of actual importance.

He was at the fore front in the movement for nationalization of public utilities, municipal ownership of street railways, plants, etc. One most desirable thing he has done, and that is to print a series of remarkably effective sermons in words and cartoons In favor of temperanca No such vivid demonstration of the terrible effects of the whisky habit as he has given in his newspapers ever before appeared in the press, in this he has done a vast amount of good, and In all sin- i centy is deserving of praise for it He maj not reach tha presidencv but he i has saved many a poor wretch from filling a drunkard's grave. Mr. Heart has also taken a keen interest in the labor movement. He has madft himself the friend of organized labor at every opportunity.

Again, he has gone to the front as a leader of the anti-trust io-i-n-c. and bringing suits against the odious -otu xrust ana others. In these directions he has actually been of some public service. V. Perhaps It is no more than right and fitting- that we should now hear Mr.

Hearst is to be placed in nomination for the presidency by a series of conventions. It is on the programme to have a labor convention called shortly before the meeting of the Democratic National Convention which 'will name its friend and patron Mr. Hearst, for President. Next wili come an antitrust convention, with manv delegates, whose expenses are also paid by the liberal Mr. Hearst, who will second the nomination of thefr labor friends; third, the Hearst clubs, or League of Democratic Clubs, merged into one or acting separatelv, will Imitate the example of their compatriots.

By the time the Demomtio vitinai Convention assembles Mr. Hearst will already be in nomination for President, and his managers will be able to go before that great convention and say, "You have no chance to elect your ticket unless you can gain the support of the labor people, the antitrust people and the League of Democratic Clubs. They are for Hearst. If vou nominate Hearst you can elect him' VI. But Mr.

Hearst Is not dependent upon these side organizations to win him the great prize. They are only accessories. He -is -working, and long has been, and working effectively and intelligently, for delegates to -the National Convention of the Democracy. Some day eminent politicians of that party will awake to a realization of the fact that Mr. Hearst has been at work while they have been sleeping.

He has bagged whole bunches of delegates before anyone else thought of starting. For months Mr. Hearst has had paid agents traveling through the country looking out for his interests. He has an organization similar to that of one of the great trusts, which he so eloquently denounces. There must be three or four hundred men on his pay roll.

He is seeking the presidency along practical lines. He knows this is the age of combinat' of organisation; and he evidently believes tue presidency can be secured. like sue cess in any other business, if you only nave enougn capital and push your wares with sufficient energy. Probably there Is not a State In the Union in which Mr. Hearst's agents have not been at work.
