tickets to the national republican con-
vention from Harry New. the chair

Hammond people were to be seen
quite frequently in the Hobbies of the
Auditorium Annex and enjoyed i'm
mensely watching the great throngs of
politicians from all parts of the United
States as they mingled together and
| talked over the situation.
Hundreds Of people stood at the en-
frances of the hotel and watched for
the appearance of the notables whose
faces are familiar to ALL There was

entrance for hours at a time with a.

The convention tickets are enclosed
in a long white envelope. There are
four Of them, one for each day of the
convention. Each ticket is engraved
with the picture of Abraham Lincoln
and they are all beautifully litho-
graphed.
There are but few Hammond people
who are carrying the prizes around
in their pockets. but those who have
them are proud to possess them, and
1t is safe to say that there will be a
goodly number of the local politicians
who will see the deliberations of this
history making convention.
