SHR|NERS PLAN A TRIP
About Twenty Murat De
voices Will Go to
the Capital.

Between twenty and thirty Hammond
5hriners are planning to attend meet
ing of the Murat Shrine at Indianapo-
lis next Friday. The Hammond shrin-
ers are all members of Murat temple,
asd for that reason they will be more
than ordinarily interested in the com
ing shrine meeting.
At first 1t was thought advisable
for the Hammond members to get up
a party large enough to warrant them
hiring a private car. but as it is the
Hammond members will probably go to
Indianapolis with the members of Me-
dinah temple from Chicago.
The local members of Murat temple
are delighted over the prospects of
making the trip to Indianapolis to the
shrine and it is possible that before
Saturday the size of the caravan will
be increased.
The trip TO Indianapolis will be made
Thursday night and the return to Ham
mond will be made Friday night.

Trouble.

man. He came into Hammond with
about 500 in .'wampum" in his poss-
ession. In addition. he had two horses
and as a result of a spree in which he
engaged yesterday while here he has
lost everything.
Yesterday he went to Attorney Schot-
tier and asked that attachment pro-
ceedings be brought against William
Kuhn to recover the horses. Attorney
Schottler is also considering the matter
of bringing criminal action against the
Hammond saloonkeeper for selling fire
water to an Indian. which the United
States government strictly prohibits.
The Indian says that he was induced
to spend all of his money in the saloon
and that the saloonkeeper kept his
horses as well.

Indianapolis, Nov. I.--Opinion seems
general that the democrats will not
he able to do much good for them
selves even though they contest the
election of officers shown by the face
of the returns to have been successful.
To contest election is thing,
but to alter the verdict is another and
one entirely different.
The disappointment of the defeated
democrats is all the more keen by rea-
son of the fact that the early reports
had them all elected and they had felt
the JOY that springs from victory. They
will have to show conclusively, how
ever, that there were frauds and gross
irregularities by the republicans alone
before they get another look-in. The
republicans are satisfied that fraud was
not committed by them, and that any
regularities that may have been en-
gagged in were no more numerous and
serious that ones that might be charged
against the democrats

DEMOCRATS HAVE
MIGHTY LITTLE HOPE

report can be adopted under the cir
cumstances is regarded as doubtful.
Politics VIII Govern.
OF course it is not to be intimated
that the investigators, either repub-
lican or democratic, would not correct
any specific error that might be demon
strated, but politics is bound to govern
in a large measure. and it is very
doubtful if the investigators would
agree even though they perform their
duties conscientiously and subpoena
witnesses, summon election officers,
produce ballots and tally sheets and
do the other things that they are by
law empowered to do.
Failure to agree may be anticipated
as the partisans would be unwilling
to report anything that might reflect
seriously upon the organization of
their particular party. The democrats
are not going to confirm charges of
fraud against their own state commit
tee if they can help it. and the re-
publicans viii be just as Jealous to
protect the good names of the men at
the head of their party. These con-
siderations are probably as great as
those concerning dispute as TO wheth-
er a republican or democrat should
hold a certain office
How 1t May Turn Out.
It may be anticipated that the demo-
cratic committee from the house will re-
port to the body that created it. while the
republican committee from the senate
will report to its republican creator
that the republicans now in office We're
properly elected thereto. This would
mean that the contests had failed as
it would be up to the contestants to
oust the contestees.
Inasmuch as the committee has
power to make final and conclusive
report, the legislature could not do
more than receive the reports of the
joint committee.
The democrats realize the hopeless
ness of their cause, but seem to think
that a spirit of fairness and desire that
justice obtain will finally land them
in office.

FEDERAL CLERK DENIES
DEMO. ALLEGATION
Lake County Republicans
Resent Charges Made
BY Stokes Jackson.
PROCEEDINGS WERE ALL LEGAL
Had Republicans Desired They Could
Have Naturalized Three Hun
dred More Legally.

There has been great deal of dis
cussion and criticism over what the
democrats call the ''Hunkeyc vote.
Stokes Jackson, the democratic state
chairman, was misIed into believing
that there were hundreds of foreigners
imported into Lake county from South
Chicago and other points near here.
An investigation of the facts. how
ever will show the democratic state
committee that they need not be fooled
into believing that democratic failure
in Lake county was due to the illegal
voting of foreigners.
Before the election the republican
poll books showed that there were 1000
foreigners in Lake county who wanted
naturalization papers. That number is
not considered large in view of the fact
that this region has grown marvelously
since the last national election and for
eigners have come in here by the thou
sands.
Mr. Surprise Talks.
Charles Surprise. clerk of the United
States court. says that there were only
2,4O0 Lake county foreigners natural
ized. and 500 from South Bend got their
papers here. That made 2,7OO alto
gether
The idea that the Lake county repub-
licans brought in foreigners from out
side of the county is preposterous, in
view of the fact that there were sew
eral hundred foreigners in East Chi
cago and Indiana Harbor who wanted
papers, but We're refused them on ac-
count of the expense
In other words. the Lake county re-
publicans could have voted 900 to 500
more foreigners in East Chicago, Ham
mond, Indiana Harbor and Gary if they
! had cared to do so. Furthermore, the
| legality of voting of these men could
not be attacked.
! Charles Surprise says there was not
man given his papers who did not
come UP to the full requirements of the
/ law. One of the surprises OF the cam
paign was the large number of Eng
lishmen. Irishmen and Scotchmen whc
secured their naturalization papers ir

If the democrats succeed in passing 6
law in the state requiring foreigners tc
live here five years before they may
take out their naturalization papers
| there will be hundreds of men from
these countries who will be refused the

foreigners
