ing W. F. Bridge, the republican nom
inee. asked for a writ of mandate com
pelling the election commissioners of
Lkae county to place his name on the
ballot
The relator stated in the complaint
that he had been regularly nominated

vertently omitted his name from the
ballot and that it did no appear there
on.
The defendant commissioners ap-
peared without service and admitted
the facts as stated in the complaint
and after court hearing Judge Virgil
S. Reiter ordered that the name of
Mr.. Bridge be placed on the ballot
! 1t was understood that Mr.. Bridge,

opposition. would have held over for
the next term but he preferred that his
name appear on the ballot and accord
ingly began the action which resulted
: in the accomplishing of his purpose.

TEAM IS REORGAN|zEO
Game With Hammond Team
Scheduled for Next
Sunday.

The old Irequois football team. which
has won many a gridiron battle for
Hammond, is to be reorganized this
year, in spite of the fact that IT is
rather late in the season.
A game is scheduled with Michigan
City next Sunday and in view of the
fact that the fare is only s1.10 for the
round trip, it is expected that there
will be number of the friends of the
members of the team to take the trip.
The lineup of the team is not yet
complete, but will be announced be-
fore the trip starts. The boys are Sc
curing the support of the Hammond
business men in their enterprise and
are confident that they can put a team
in the field that will make a record for
itself
The team will have in it many of the
old stars such as Geib. Halfman and
Heintz. They will practice the rest OF
the week and expect to get into shape
by Sunday.
The contest will be with the Michi-
gan City Athletic club next Sunday.

HAMMOND MAN
ADDRESSES THEM
Whiting Hungarians Ad
dressed by Herman
Santos Last Night.

Whiting, Ind, Oct. 2S.-Herman San
to. the politician from the Standard
Steel Car district who has been work
ing among the Hungarians of the
northern end of Lake county is doing
splendid work. His two meetings in
this city have been very successful,
over three hundred Hungarians fore
ing their way into the hall at each
meeting. The sessions, which have
been filled with enthusiasm. have been
held in Mike Reshan's hall on One
Hundred and Twenty first street. and
Mr.. Santo, his winning manner of ad-
dress bespeaking his sincerity, has won
many votes to the republican cause.
Some weeks ago the Hungarian pa
per in South Bend appeared with an
editorial declaring the Hungarians OF
Lake county to be democrats. This ar
ticle has incensed them against the
party. and they declare that, under ne
conditions. would they vote for Bryan
or Marshall. They are republicans ane
intend to remain so.
Mr.. Santo will address the voters oi
Indiana Harbor this evening at ket
sick's hall and expects an attendance
of at least four hundred. His worl
will be fruitful of results at next Tues
days polls and it is predicted that tn.
entire Hungarian vote of Lake count,
will be delivered, almost solid, to tn,
| republican party.

OUTCOME OF TEST
CLOSELY WATCHED
S. S. G. Co.'s Experiment
With All-Steel Coach
Excites Comment.
GOOD THING FOR HAMMOND
Local Manufacturing Company Has
Provisional Order for One Hun
dred Steel Cars.
GOOD THING FOR HAMMOND

In view of the fact that there is
now being manufactured at the Ham
mond plant of the Standard Steel Car
company a sample an-steel passenger
coach and that the local company now
has provisional order for 100 of these
coaches, providing the sample is ac-
ceptable. the following articles is in
teresting.
It is a proof of the fact that there is
demand for all-steel passenger cars
and it suggests to the loyal Hammond
ite that, in view of the fact that the
Butler plant of the Standard Steel Car
company is already crowded for space,
the logical place for the development
of this new business is in Hammond.
That the use of steel passenger cars
is destined to prove an important fea-
ture of the development of the Ameri-
can railroads in the near future is
shown by the large orders for steel
coaches which are being placed. The
most important recent announcement of
such a purchase was made by the Har-
riman lines, which have ordered about
200 for use on the Union Pacific, South :
ern Pacific. and the Oregon Short Line
1T is also announced that the Penn
| sylvania railroad is negotiating with
| the car builders for sixty-four all-steel
| passengers cars, of which forty -four
will be coaches and twenty combination
ears. These cars will be of the Penn
sylvania standard and the placing ot
the order will be in line with the re-

WEALTHY TAXPAYER
At LAST SURREnDERS
Col. L. 7. Meyer, Hammond lawyer,
After Getting Bill Through Legis-
lature Incorporating the Thriving
Town, Gets News That Prominent
Chicagoan Gives Up His Fight.

Munster, the latest corporation I'm
North township, to be enrolled aznone
the municipalities, now has a clear title
to its Incorporation, the bitterest re-
monstrator, Lucius Fisher of Chicago,
having conceded their rights to in
corporate. The sturdy folk of the
town of Munster never did intend tn
agree to dissolution of their corRora-
tion and were prepared for n hard fight
which was to terminate i'm the IeGfs-
lature. They realized that their prin-
cipal objector was strong man in tho
affairs of life, multi millionaire in
Chicago and property owner in their
community to the extent of 900 acres.
Realizing the bitter fight that was be-
fore them and which would probably
last for years. they were agreeably
surprised last Monday night when at
the regular session of the town board
Attorney L L. BombergeT of Hammond.
representative fur Fisher. announced
that Fisher. instead of being against
the town was now for it heart and
soul.
Look for the Nigzer.
1t came so suddenly that the burglars
feared another scheme to overthrow
their municipality. but after Attorney
Bomberger had explained the reason
Mr. Fishers attitude. they were satis-
fed that now have ally in him instead
of an enemy. Mr.. Fisher. who is the
owner of the Fisher building in the
loop district in Chicago. is at the same
time one of the largest property own
ers in the town of Munster which in
cludes about 5000 acres. OF this he
alone owns 800 acres with an addi-
tionai 500 acres across the state line.
When the people of Munster first united
to form their town corporation, Mr..
Fisher was given to understand that
it was nothing more than just a scheme
of few who were looking for polit-
ical plums in the way of offices. Hes
thought that he would be taxed to pay
for these plums and naturally resented
anything that looked like graft to him.
Gets Better Acquainted.
| In the course of time, however, he
became better acquainted with the peo-
pie of Munster He learned that they
were a sincere law abiding and God
fearing people and began to study the
question from their viewpoint. He
found that the town officials were all
trustworthy and men of the highest
integrity. Before he realized all this
however. he had appealed the decision
of the Lake circuit court to the SUI
ipreme court and instituted quo war
ranto proceedings in the Lake superior
court. These proceedings will be with
drawn.
| Last September when the special
Legislature. Col l. T. Meyer who is
the attorney for the town board pre-
pared a bill which he forwarded to
Senator Bowser.
The bill was to legaliZe the town of
Munster. but it never went to the
House for the reason that it was

PIANO CONTEST
IS UNDER WAY
E. g. Minas Company Ar
ranges to Give Fine
Instrument Away.

. How would you like to be presented
with a valuable piano on Christmas
morning, absolutely free of charge?
This is not only for the people of Ham
mond but for anybody.
The E. c. Minas department store of
Hammond is in the field with this Of
fer, making it a contest for the most
popular person. Anybody is eligible
and all that is necessary is to get out
and hustle for the votes. It's jolly
good fun and everybody has an even
chance.
The contest is now on, having begun
last Saturday. 1t has not progressed
to such an extent that anybody will
be too late in getting in now. In fact,
it will be worth while to work to the
last day.
Contest Based on Votes.
The contest will be based on votes,
which may be cast for the popular per
son. One vote will be allotted for
each ten cent purchase. whether for
cash or on credit. The piano will soon
be on display in the store. and it is
probable that a second price will be
awarded to the second most popular
person.
Now is the time to get busy. to line
up not only the regular patrons of the
store. but anybody. 1t is especially
worth while to keep tab on people who
intend to make big purchases in the
near future, not forgetting those, how
ever, who go to the store matter
| of routine.
| A similar contest was put on last
year by this enterprising store ana II
! grew to be the talk of the town. Or
! the closing night of the contest hun
dreds of people filled the big store tC
see the final outcome, and the fun was
! certainly worth while.
! The management of the big store
may, when the contest narrows down
offer prizes to boys and girls, but th'
1 piano will be the big stake.
Although only begun last Saturday
the interest has already begun to worl
and before this week is over it will
| be in full swing.
