HOW LAKE CouNrY vorT

The vote on the fifth ballot had
been called for from about two-thirds
of the counties and it was at this
time a real landslide for Watson de-
veloped and it was then that Charles
w. Miller was compelled to admit de-
feat and the other candidates followed
suit
1t was generally recognized that 1t
was the thing to do to stick to
favorite candidate as long as there
was chance for his election, but af-
ter the third ballot it is generally con-
coded that If candidate is consist
emily losing, rally is impossible and
If there are any other interests at
stake they should be protected.
The third ballot had passed. Charles
w. Miller would have been satisfied
if at this stage of the game the Lake
county delegates would have rememb-
cred that they had interests of their
own to be protected and had voted for
Watson, the winning man and the
one man who had it within his power
to deliver Gillett enough votes to in
sure his election.
At this critical time the Lake county
delegation was in a tumult. For the
purpose of this article it is not neces-
sary that the names of the various
delegates be known, but there were
four men who strongly counse1ed the
voting of the entire Lake county dele
cation for Watson.
They were enforced by others not in
the delegation who saw that the criti-
cal time had come and that something
would have to be done or the spiurge
that Lake county had made in an in
dustrial way would not be equalIed by
the political acumen of it's representa-
tives.
The fact that Watson was given seven
votes from the very start was the re-
suit of the threat OF several of the
delegates that they would challenge
the vote on every ballot If Watson was
not given his share.
When the third ballot had been cast
the wise ones saw the light They
tried to persuade, failing in this they
threatened failing in that they cajoled,
and falling in that they swore.
It was all to no avail and when the
vote on the fourth ballot was taken
Lake county lost it's opportunity to
make Congressman Watson come up
and eat out of its hand
The opportunity was lost to make
Watson SO indebted to Lake county
that he would use all of his influence
to assist Congressman Crumpacker to
secure the much desired deep water
way legislation. The opportunity was
lost to secure the friendship OF a man
who may be the next governor of In
diana.
Watson does not feel any antagon-
ism toward Lake county. He got a
good vote from this district, but the
point is that the Lake county dele
gates failed to make the master stroke
that would have made James E. Wat
son forever grateful to this district
for his election.
1t is true that the labor element in

HOW JUDGE GILLETT
LOST NOMINATION.
Continued from page y.

prefer to have the governor and lieu
tenant governor friendly to them than
to have judge of the supreme court.
La Porte county handed its delegation
over to Lake to be traded with as Lake
county saw fit, and it was noticeable
that many of the counties that stood
almost soIidly for Goodwine for lieu
tenant governor either broke from Gill
lett In small fragments or went against
him with all their strength and both
Goodwine and Gillett are from the
tenth district But there will be much
regret that so good a man and so able
a judge as Judge Gillett should have
been set aside"
The inside story of the deliberations
Of the delegates from Lake county to
the state convention, which led to the
disastrous defeat OF Judge John H.
Gillett, are of the greatest interest and
point to the folly of permitting per-
sonal estimates to influence the dele
gates vote when the playing of that
fascinating game of politics would
have accomplished so much for Lake
county and compelled the recognition
that this part of the state so richly
deserves.
When it Is a known fact that on
the fourth ballot Watson lacked but
911 votes to secure the nomination and
that he had been taking strength from
the other candidates consistently on
the second and third ballots, 1t may
be seen what a factor Lake county
could have been if a band wagon poll
icy had been agreed upon.
The following table shows how mar
sistently Watson gained in strength
while the others lost, and the second
table shows how doggedly the Lake
county delegation stuck 10 their IA
vorite candidates to the end.

Another Harbinger of Spring.

Another evidence that spring is
really here may be determined by the
large number of houses appearing in
a new dress-a fresh coat of paint.
John Heyman. the paint man. 9104 Erie
avenue, is responsible for a portion of
the existing conditions. Some of the
prettiest designs of wall paper in town
may be found in his place of business.
These days he is putting on both paper
and paint, and in a manner that goes
farther, goes on easier, goes longer
pretty good way to measure the cost,
isn't it?

Drinking Men
Not Wanted

The above sign is now seen in many
shops and offices in this city, because
drinking men are unreliable.
Competition is too keen and life is
too strenuous for an employer to keep
men on his payroll whose nerves are
unsteady and whose brains are not
clear.
Every line of business is beginning
to close its doors to drinking men.

Days Grist in
South Chicago
DETECTIVE IS ASSAILED
BY FOREIGNERS YESTERDAY
Coal Thieves Keep Things Moving In
south Chicago B. & o. Yards.

Although A. B. Eckland, private de-
tective for the B. & o. railroad in South
Chicago, made one arrest, he neverthe-
less came out second best in an en-
counter yesterday evening with 100
foreign women who were taking coal
from the yards.
Having frightened the women whom
he succeeded in driving into a near by
swamp the women turned on the de-
tective and pelted him with coal until
he was forced to desist in his attempt to
make any more arrests. Several pieces
Of the flying coal hit Eckland and he
bears the scars of the battle today. He
! succeeded however, in arresting one Of
the women, Mrs. Anna Pesson, who will
be tried before Judge Petit today.
According to Ecklands statement this
morning the foreigners carry away
tons of coal each day from the yards,
but the number Of foreign women who
turned out yesterday was unusually
Z large.
After Eckland lead his prisoner to
the station the other women emerged
from the swamp and carried their coal
home.

FOOTBALL MAY SUPERCEDE
BASEBALL AT HANDS.
WOOdfawn Club Claims Lease ON Park
at Stony Island and Sixty-Ninth.

Chances of playing baseball at Hands
Park, Sixty-ninth street and Sony Is
land avenue, are very slim, according
to report from the Woodlawn Foot
ball club, who have made arrangements
with the management of the park to
play football there.
Some time ago it was thought that
the baseball club that had the park last
year would get in, but something
turned up and the Woodlawn Foot
ball club got there first. The football
club will play every Sunday at the
park with visiting team. The lineup
Of the Woodlawn club is very strong
and they think that they can beat all
corners.
The Parkside baseball fans are not
yet disappointed as they think that the
baseball club will get the lease on the
park yet.

Wants Nothing of Either.

Two Hangarians, Frank Lowsinski
and Tony Tonfarski, got into a fight

So the fight started. After fighting
for while Honfarski knocked out

home of the girl whom he had fought
for. On his way he met the girl and
told her about it, and she said that she

FIRE DAMAGES BURNSIDE
HOUSE; RATS BLAMED
Thought the Rodents Gnaved Matches
and This Started the Blaze.

A fire which started in some mysteri-
Gus manner early yesterday morning at
the home of Mrs. Miller, 1915 Dauphin
avenue. Burnside, partially burned
away the roof and the interior The
damage was about 5000. The house is
a two-story frame and is entirely COW
cred by insurance.
Mrs. Miller is at a loss to know how
the fire started as no defective chin
ney was found. She thought that rats
gnawing at matches might have been
responsible. The fire originated in the
garrett.
The fire caused a little panic in the
Burnside school. which is a few houses
away from the Miller home, but 1t was
quoted by the teachers
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1908-04-04

the Calumet region was opposed to
Watson and that the men who were
elected to represent them had a duty
to perform, but the fact also remains
that John H. Gillett, who had the good
will and support of labor was de-
feated, and that Elkhart county, from
where Charles w. Miller halls. did not
have the loyalty to stand by Gillett in
return for the twelve votes that Lake
county gave him. Elkhart county,s
vote was fifteen for -GiIlett and ten for
Quincy Myers.
