The following is a letter which has
been received by Lake county manufac-
turers from the Manufacturers Bureau
of Indiana. and to voters it will be of
timely interest.
October Il, 1908.
Mr. - Hammond Ind, Dear Sir:
We are in the midst of a national cam
paign. In less than four weeks the
voters will have registered their will
at the ballot box, and the result will
be known The future of our business
affairs will be more or less affected by
the decision rendered. Only two re-
suits are possible. one of which in the
nature of things must be more favor
able than the other in it's influence
upon commercial and industrial condi-
TONS 1t is therefore the part Of wis
dom for US to give careful considera-
ton to the relation of this campaign,
so soon to be concluded, upon the per-
manent welfare of the country.
While voters are not so much
swayed by partisan bias as in former
years, and the campaign is therefore
lacking in excitement the legitimate
business interests of the country have
as much at stake in this campaign as
in others which have involved the in
dustrial welfore of the country.
The real issue is a business PROPOSE
ton which may be summed up as fol
lows: What is best for you, what is
best for me, what is best for all of us'
AS manufacturers we are, or should
be. vitality interested in the welfare oil
( those who labor for us; likewise they
ssho1ld be interested in the success oil
Bolicies which win bring about better
conditions for both of us.
What we want is a condition thai
will keep our industries going, our mer
employed and the endless chain o.
prosperity in motion.
The question then resolves itself int
the problem: Which of the two men
Taft or Bryan, with the things the!
stand for, will tend most certainly anc
quickly to re-establish conditions a!
they were up to 1908 and assure thei
continuance?
Mr.. Bryan was before the people il
1896 and 1900 and now again in 1908
We may safely judge the future by tn
past. We are well acquainted will

ROUNDHOUSE WHISTLE TO
GIVE THE FIRE ALARM
Signals for East Chicago Remain the
Same-Change Necessary on Account
of Lack of steam at Former Place.
Especial to THE TIMEs).

East Chicago, Ind, Oct. 24.-Nelson
DeLors, chief of the fire department.
has issued instructions to members of
the local departments, that the fire
alarm is now located at the C. T. T.
railway roundhouse, near the corner
of One Hundred and Forty-seventh
street and wegg avenue. The change
was necessitated by the inability to
secure the proper steam power with
which to operate the old blast whistle,
and also by the ability of the c. T. T.
blast to be heard a much greater dis
lance. The signals for the various
wards and alarms will remain the same
as in the past.

Although the Kensington & Eastern

company is improving its service daily
and complaints which a few weeks ago
were of the daily order have almost
disappeared.
Much of this complaint arose be-
cause the company tried to operate
the road before it was quite ready. It's
franchise required that the road be
completed by July LIST, of this year,
but there was nothing to compel them
to operate cars then. But the public

LETTER NOT WRITTEN
FOR POLITICAL EFFECT
Won't Invest If There Is Any Chance
of Democratic Tinkering With the
Tariff Question, But If Taft Wins,
He Says Says He Will Proceed
With His Plans.

E. j. TaIIman of New York city, who
is one of the important political fac
tors In politics there and who became
Interested in Gary real estate some
time ago and has since invested a large
sum of money in Gary real estate, has
written remarkably strong letter
to Attorneys Harris and Bretsch of
Gary, who represent him In a busI-
ness way there, i'm which he informs
them that they had better not go ahead
with the building of large family
apartment building until after election.
The letter was not written for politi-
cal effect. 1t was written by a man
of good business judgment who has
learned from experience just what is
the effect of a lack of confidence in an
administration.
Mr.. Tallman will move his family
to Gary and will bring with him a
fortune of more than a half of a mil
lion dollars providing the election goes
right. He already owns a number of
houses in Gary and will build more if
conditions warrant it.
Mr.. Tallman was at one time sheriff
of the county in which New York city
is located. His letter reads:
Writes His Lawyers.
Messrs. Harris and Bretsch,
Gary, Ind.
Conference.-The plans for the
first family fiat building mt hand
and will say same are very salts
factory. Plans also received for
hrrf IN
certainty of the coming election,
have decided to have completed the
four houses now under way, and
will not start the flats until after
the election.
I'm afraid If Mr.. Bryan should be
elected president. the uncertainty
of what the democratic party will
do with the tariff, together with
the agitation against the steel COR
poration, which is incorporated In
their platform, Will be the cause
| of the steel corporation suspend
ing work on their plant and final
ly closing down entirely. While /
have the greatest confidence in the
future of Gary, 1 do not care to
invest any more money as long as
there Is any possible chance of the
agitation against the steel cor
poration, nor of the duty on steel.
Should Mr.. Taft he elected presi-
dent you can go ahead and make
contract Immediately after cleo
ton. should Mr.. Bryan be elect
ed L will not build until the tariff
question is finally settled, which
will be some time. If Bryan's'
idea of free trade were put into ex-
ecutiOn, 1 believe 1t would affect
the steel corporation, which in
turn would effect every man and
woman and child in Gary and the
whole Calumet district that resi-
dences and business flats would
prove very poor Investments.
With kind regards, am,
Yours,

ably be in line, but the committee in
charge estimates that there will be
stream of humanity reaching from the
Michigan Central railroad to the Penn
sylvania, distance of over mile.
Among the other features of the
parade will be life sized Teddy bear
which it is said will be fastened on the
front end of the automobile contain
ing Judge Taft. This unique emblem
has already been prepared and will
probably make one OF the greatest
hits" of the evening. There will also
be about fifty horsemen in line which
will give the parade a martial air
Back of them will then come the Chi
cago marching organization from the
Hamilton and Marquette clubs. The
latter have resolved to assist in the
Gary rally since they have been de-
prived of their own through the COM
ing of the presidential candidate to
Gary.
Program Begins at $3.50.
The program for the day begins at
$50 o'clock when the various divi-
sions of the parade start to form in
line on Fifth avenue. In the mean
time a reception committee of twelve
will go TO Hammond where they will
meet Judge Taft and escort him to
Gary. Upon his arrival here at 1880
o'clock it is planned to salute him with
giant cannon crackers of other missiles
until the parade starts on its way
southwark. eThey will then march to
the Pennsylvania tracks and counter
march to Fifth avenue and Massachus-
sets street where the big tent has
been erected.
The tent will be guarded in the mean
time, so that no one except the march
ers can get inside. After they have all
filed in the outsiders will be allowed to
get in. If there is room left 1t was
considered only fair that those who par
ticipate in the parade be given he pref
renee in seas. In the Casino. how
ever men, women and children will be
allowed TO congregate so that they
may have an advanta geous seat by
early. Judge Taft will begin speaking
at the tent while Beveridge opens ur
the meeting in the hall.
VIII Change Places.
They will then speak for a certain
length of time in each place afte,
which they will change about II
the meantime the meetings will be ad
dressed by Senators Hemenway ant
Watson. While the change is beins
made. it is planned to have the two
principle speakers march through {
line of men with arms interlocked 81
that they viii have no difficulty in get
ting through and TO avoid the DELAY il
handshaking and other interruptions
AS the tent has been pitched within
few feet of the Casino there will b,
but a short delay in changing from
place to place.
1t is thought that the two places
which have been provided for tn
speakers will hold over FIVE thousan,
people so that there will be no chanc
for everyone to hear them. If it be
comes necessary an open air meetin,
will be held in the vicinity which will
be addressed by some of the prominen
men who win be present. The tent an
the hall will be beautifully decorate
with flags, pictures and bunting whic
will be pleasing background to tn
enormous throng.

The Wardwell incident which las gained footing in the press of the Pacific slope, from the Rocky mouu- tains to the surf Of the placid ocean on the west, needs bit of illumina- tion.
 Coast papers have wrapped the sub iect about the thrill of terror on the one hand and the gianor of romantic devotion on the other.
 The solid facts are, that the ole people are, the unfortunate wife be sides being afflicted with leprosy is de mented, and the other by reason Of age and decrepitude, is feeble. The particular species of leprosy, accord ing to the medical examination had seems tO be hereditary on the woman : side, but does not seem to be com. municable through the agency ol ordinary intercourse.
 Gen. Wsrdwell was entitled to care and maintenance at the Soldiers Home at Sswtelle, California. He was there with his wife. Her condition having been discovered and she was threatened with deportation, he availed himsel of hattering opportunity to get away, ostensibly to Mexico, but realll and directly back to Tombstone.
