KOPELKE DRAWS CROWD
Whiting Democrats Will
Try to Hear J. Ham
ilton Lewis.

Whiting, Ind, Oct 24.-(SpeciaD-
Whiting democrats held a meeting in
their headquarters over Denham's cigar
store Thursday evening and listened to
a stirring address by ex-senator Jo-
names Kopelke of Crown. Point, who
was recently drafted by the democratic
organization, following an address at
Valparaiso. Mr.. Kopelke is reported
as having proved himself delightful
speaker, logical in his arguments upon
his partys platform. Following Mr..
Kopelke, members Hickey, Swartz,
Naef and other workers for democracy's
cause in Whiting gave their opinions
upon the leading questions of the cam
paign.
Secretary William E. Hickey, who is
editor of the Whiting Sun, the latest
addition to the democratic newspaper
family of Lake county, declares that
there were fully 200 persons present
al the rally, and promises much
larger crowd at their meeting of next
Tuesday evening, full particulars of
which will be given in a later edition

to secure ]. Hamilton Lewis of Chi
cago, as speaker on that evening.

in Standard OIL.
lsneoiaI to TIE T1MEsl

Whiting Ind, Oct. 24.--Some one
started a small sized panic in repub-
lican headquarters yesterday by de-
claring that the Standard Oil COM
pany. through orders from its Chicago
office, had authorized the placing of
Bryan Autographs throughout their
Whiting plant. The story appears to
be a falsehood, injected into the cam
paign by some over-zealous' democrat
fond of stirring up trouble
Investigation by a TIMES represen-
tative revealed the information that a
few Autographs of the Peerless Leader
are pasted about the outer walls of the
plant, but without permission from the
company's office. Moreover, the cor
poration is not about to change its
political affiliations, as believed about
the city yesterday.
superintendent William Burton was
interviewed by THE TIMES representa-
tive and declared that the company was
not taking such an active interest in
the campaign this year that it wouldn't
permit of such bold move, and there

FELT SORRY FOR HIM
Man Who Causes Another's
Arrest Paid His Fine
Yesterday.

Indiana Harbor, Ind, Oct. 24.-(Spe-
cia3-"Mr. Judge, please stop the trial
and let me pay this mans fine" was
the remark that caused the attorneys
in Judge William A. Rei1and's court
in this city to sit up and take notice
yesterday afternoon. The speaker was
Charles Berecsk, who but a few min
utes before had sworn out a warrant
charging Tony Baldak with commit
ing an assault upon his person.
The trial was in progress at the time
of the interruption, Baldak had just
pleaded guilty" and Judge Reiland
was about to enter judgment against
the assailant.
Berecsko explained by saying that
he felt sorry for the unfortunate Bal
dak and was afraid he would have to
serve out the term in the county jail.
He's my friend even If he did assault
me-" reiterated the complaining wit
ness, land 1 will pay his fine"
After a few moments consideration
of the case Judge IRELAND decided that.
in view of the sudden change in the
aspect of the case, he would impose the
minimum fine, amounting to $1425, in
GLIDING costs. The complaining wit
ness paid his friend and asailant's
cost fees. and arm in arm they left
the court, Baldak thanking Berecsko
for his friendly interference and insist
ing on buying the drinks for the en-
tire court.

DROP" IN STREET PAVEMENT
IN MAGOUN AVE. REPAIRED
East Chicgoans Surprised at the Many
Uses to Which Westrumite
Can BE Put.
Especial to THE TIMEs)

East Chicago, Ind. Oct. 24.-The
Yves trumite company yesterday com
pleted the repairing of the drop" In
the center of Magoun avenue, caused
by the lowering into the quicksands of
the big six-foot sewer on that street
AS recently stated in THE TIMES, the
sewer was laid about six years ago,
and the street, constructed of bitumi-
nous asphalt, paved about six months
later. AS the years passed by, a no.
ticeable depression was found in the
center of the road and the council de-
cided TO experiment with the West
rumite compound as filler for the de-
preston.
Under the personal direction of Street
Commissioner Peter Stirling. the work
has been going on for three weeks. and
local contractors declare the result adj
mirable in every point of construction.
The versatility of the compound as a
road building filler has astonished To-
cal street builders. and has no doubt
opened a field for the use of the Whit
ing made product. It's extremely low
cost, compared to that of asphalts and
pftch-rubber roads, makes 1t a desir-
able investment and proves to the pub
lie the contention of Baron Won West
rum that his formula is the splendid
building compound he claims it to be.

JEWS DEMAND REPRESEN-
TATION ON COUNTY TICKETS
Nucleus of Jewish Independent Club
Is Formed in East Chicago
Promises TO Grow.
Especial to THE TrMEs).

Especial to THE TIMEs).
East Chicago, Ind, Oct. 24.-The
Jewish Independent club. Such is the
name of the latest political organiza-
ton to be effected in this city, and its
origin is due to the efforts of Charles
Pitzele and few of the active Jewish
voters of East Chicago It's numbers
as its members upwards of forty Jew
ish residents of East Chicago. although
In the near future, Jewish citizens of
other cities in the Calumet region will
be asked to join. swelling the mem
bership of the organization to perhaps
one thousand.
The OBJECT of the club is to further
the election interests of the Jewish race
in Lake county. They declare that
they are not given the same prominence
in political affairs as are the Hungar-
ians and other foreigners who emf
CRATE to this country. Irrespective of
parties. the Jewish Independent club
will band themselves together to fight
what they term this growing evil, and
secure for themselves greater elective
powers.
The officers of the association are:
Nose Specter, president; Ike Specter,
secretary; Charles Pftzele. treasurer
All these gentlemen are well known in
this city, and their affliation with such
a movement lends to it the necessary
ginger to make 1t power in local poll
tics. A meeting will be held in the
near future, at which the further plans
of the club will be outlined and con-
sidered in detail.

A RE

of purpose is one of his cardinal weak
nesses.
Mr. Taft is known as a jurist, an ex-
ecutive, and a diplomat. In the dis
charge of no responsibility has he been
accused of lack of stability or ability.
His public service has trained him in
an exceptional way for the proper dis
charge of the duties of the great office
of president, and his career justifies the
belief that he would meet every ex-
pectation entertained in his behalf.
AS manufacturers and business men.
we know the need of stability as well
as ability in the conduct of our own af-
fairs. Don't you think we should have
the same trait in public officials? 1t
is stability and not sentiment only we
must have in the working out of great
national policies affecting the prosper
ity of all the people. Don't you be-
Iieve that 1t would be wei for US to
inject more business Judgment into our
politics? I do, and l firmly and con-
scientiously believe 1t is for our best
interests, regardless of our political af-
fiations, to have Judge Taft in the
presidential chair and a republican
house of representatives, in order that
the tariff may be revised, and without
which it cannot be done.
I feel that we should GET BUSY AT
ONCE AND KEEP BUSY, doing all we
can conscientiously and honorably to
the end that better condition may be
restored. It is not a party matter
am presenting, but he issue: WHAT
Is BEST FOR YOU. WHAT is BEST
FOR Me, WHAT is BEST FOR ALL OF
Us? For ten years we have enjoyed
prosperity as never before in the his
tory of this or any other country
Now that there has been a showdown
should we abandon the policies that
gave us good times and involve the
commercial and industrial future Of
the country in doubt by the selection
of an executive whose career does mo-
inspire confidence, but rather lack o,
1t?
Let us think it over and determine
this question for ourselves, in the ligh
of our own best interests and the bes
| interests of those dependent upon u!
for employment, and not let politicians
and office seekers deter us from doint
what is best for all of US. This il
sent by unanimous direction of the ex
ecutive committee
Yours very truly,
W. T. DURBIN,
President
