IN POLITICS

Mr.. Bryan has aged remarkably
since he spoke in Hammond eight
years ago. He seems subdued and
chas tened. The change in him, physi-
cally, appeared striking to those who
had not seen him for these many years
1t was noticed yesterday that some
enthusiastic democrat had pinned a
Marshall ribbon on blind Popcorn"
George. Skin" Crumpacker saw it
and observed that the democrats must
be trying to win the blind vote.
There will be a meeting of the Rail-.

in it since its organization. All of
the railroad men in this region who
may be interested are cordially invited
to attend the meeting next Wednesday

Taft was willing to cancel his Chi
cago date with the Hamilton club and
go to Gary is evidence enough that
Mr.. Schaaf is getting about all he asks
for in the way of speakers. But there
are no breweries helping Dick out and
neither is there any predatory wealth
coming his way and so he is having
to get what money he can from local
republicans.
J. Kirby Risk. in an interview with
reporter for THE TINES. said that the
democratic national organization this
year is stronger than ever before. and
on the other hand, the republican or
ganization lacks the organizing ability
of a Cortelyou or a Mark Hanna. He
seemed to think that Hitchcock is a
failure.
The republicans of Hammond claim

meeting. Many of them are today
claiming that it made 500 votes for
i Watson.
