HAMMOND, IND. May IA bitter fight
between William Johnston and Charles B.
Lands for congressional convention dele
gates has been waged in this county for
the past ten days. and as result both
sides had engaged special trains to take
their partisans TO the mass convention to
select delegates at Crown Point to-day.
The Johnston train of six cars was TO
start at 1890 o'clock and the Lands train
an hour later, but the Johnston crowd
waited until the Landis train pulled in,
and by prearrangement with the railway
officials. took possession Of both trains and
went to the county seat. A half hour
later five hundred Landis men, composed
of the representative young business men
of this township, gathered at the depot to
take their train, but found it had gone.
there being no. possible means of getting
to the convention, they secured the opera
house in this city and proceeded to hold
a convention of their own and elected del
egates. The Johnston men went to Crown
Point, held their convention and selected
a full list of Johnston delegates.
The feeling In this city tonight is very
bitter, not only on the part of the Lands
men. but also on the part of many John
ston men, who acknowledge that the move
in stealing the Landis train has done
Johnston's cause more harm than good.
At least four hundred representative Re
publicans insist that they have been dis
franchised. To add fuel to the fire, II
transpires that the superintendent of the
G. H. Hammond Packing Company, the
superintendent being a Johnston man, gave
his men a holiday and the Johnston train
was made up largely of between three and
four hundred butchers, regardless Of party,
in charge of their bosses, who were In
structed to boom Johnston with all their
strength.
Several Lands men who work for this
company were told that they would have
to stay at home. The Landis men also
claim that the convention held at Crown
Point fixed by the chairman of the
county central committee, who IS john
ston man. that his instructions from the
district central committee were not car
ried out, and therefore that the convention
was invalid and should not be recognized
in the district convention. On this ground
as well many others the Landis men
will contest and insist that the delegates
selected in this city, twelve in number. be
recognized by the district convention.
They will also claim that the Crown Point
convention was packed in the interest of
Johnston by men who have never voted
the Republican ticket, while at the con-
vention here no man who was not known
to be Republican was permitted to vote.
The Johnston men lay all the blame on
the railway in sending the Landis special
to Crown Point and claim they were in
no way responsible.
