President Coming To
Hammond On Saturday,
Oct. "a, and Will Climax
a Big Day For Party.

ii became practically assured today
that Hon. William Howard Taft. re-
publican candidnte for president of the
United States. and the man whom IL is
now conceded will he our next presi-
dent will be I'm Hammond saturday,
Oct. "a at 7:I0 p.
County Chairman r. Richard schaaf
received word from VIII Hayes OF the
speakers bureau in Indiana. in which
Mr. Hayes said that the schedule of
Mr.. Taft's trip had been tentatively
made, and that it wouId very likely
stand as ii is arranged.
In a day or two it will be positively
known just when Mr. Taft will be hero.
but for the time being it is safe to
make plans with that date and hour in
mind
Mr.. Taft. will probably arrive in
Hammond over the Monon railroad and
it has not yet been decided where the
train will be stopped That will be
figured out so that as large crowd as
possible will get chance to hear the
candidate and see him
To Be n Busy Saturday.
In fact the oath of this month is to
be a busy one all over the county.
At Lowell there will be another big
demonstration. Judge Ira G. Bateman
of Covington viii speak there and the
Lowell republicans are planning big
celebration.
At Whiting there Hon. n. r. Sheri-
| dan of Frankfort and Senator A. J..
Bowser of Chesterton will address a
crowd on the evening of the oath. in
Gary the biggest political meeting Of
the campaign in that city is To be held
when United States Senator Albert J..
| Beveridge speaks on the issues Of the
campaign.
Then to top the whole thing off re-
publican candidate for president is to
| speak in Hammond for few minutes
at 7:I0. That will afford thousands of
J people in this vicinity a chance to see
! the man for whom they expect TO cast
/ their votes in the fall, and they will
be able to tell just what he looks like
without referring to his picture.

CRUMP PACKER SPEAKS
TOMORROW NIGHT.
Program at Brooks Will Be
Varied With Entertain
ing Features.
W. H. KL|vER ALSO TO APPEAR
One of the Most Important Meetings
Of the Campaign for the
Hammond Voter.
". H. KL|vER ALSO TO APPEAR

The big political event of the week
will be the meeting which will he held
in Brooks theater tomorrow night and
which will he addressed by Hon. Edgar
ID. Crumpacker. congressman from this
district, and William III. Kliyer. repub-
Iican candidate for joint representative.
The program will be varied with Sc
lections by the quartette representing
the Young Mems Republican club of
this city. All of the members of the
Young Mems Republican club of this
city are expected to be present at this
meeting.
Is Well-Informed Speaker.
Congress f. d. Crumpacker is con-
ceeded to be one of the best informed
speak in Hammond during the cam
paign.
Mr. Crumpacker is looked upon as
one of the best campaigners in Indiana.
His natural conservatism makes what
he has to say all the more important
and his arguments always carry great
weight
Mr. Crumpacker has been in the
hands of the state speakers bureau
during the greater part of the cam
paign and he will now give a little at
tention of his own district.
The Tenth district congressman is
probably the strongest man in congress
in Indiana and John E. Fitzgerald, a
prominent Hammond democrat. is OF
the opinion that he is one of the most
valuable men that the state has in
congress
William H. K1iver will make his first
public appearance in Hammond. Mr.
Kliver is a union man and was once
the national president of the carpen-
ters' union. As such he should prove
great drawing card to republican oi
partisan Iaboring and union men
Mr. Kliver is practically assured his
election as joint representative and h'
for one will vote for the reelection O.
United States Senator Hemenway anc
against the effort that the democrat.
will make to elect the French Licl
gambler. Tom Taggart, to the United
States senate.

QUARTETTE WILL SING
Will Be Big Drawing Card
at Meeting Tomorrow
Night.

The members of the quartette of the
Young Mems Republican club are MAX
ing great preparations for the Crum-
packer meeting, which is to be held
in Brooks theater tomorrow night.
There are several new parodies which
Will be sung and there have been verses
adde dto some of the old songs. Al
though the quartette has been in great
demand all over the county and has
sung in nearly every town in the coun-
ty, it has not yet made its appearance
in Hammond.
Many people are anxious to hear the
boys and they will have the oppor-
tunity tomorrow night at the Crum-
packer meeting. Tonight the quartete
sings at meeting of the railroad men
which is to be held at Gibson.
+ The railroad men working for the
c., I. & S. and ]. H. B. railroads are to
organize a Taft club tonight in the Y.
NJ. c. A. there and the Hammond quar-
tette is to entertain them
1t is expected that there will be a
large number of railroad men at the
meeting and there will be some speak
ing by the various republican candi-
dates during the evening

BETTING EXPECTED
TO WARM UP LATER
Charles Frederick Secures
$4,000 Which He Wants
t. Wager on Election.

Charley Friedrich says he has $4,000
to. bet on Tom Marshall for governor.
He is anxious to get the bet and says
that there will be plenty more money
when the $4,000 are used up
He has been going around flashing
his challenge under the nose of any
Watson hacker, but he says that his
money remains intact
J. NJ. Bradford is said to be going
around with a roll worth $1,000 to be
bet on Tom Grant for sheriff, but
thus far he and Charley Friedrich have
not been brought together
How 1t Came About.
Charley Friedrich and Lawrence Cox
came very near making bet on Car
ter and Grant, Cox wanting to take the
Grant end of it. They never came to
a good understanding about the stipu-
lations and consequently the bet was
declared off. Friedrich says that he
placed his end of it in the Citizens
German National bank. while Cox
wrote out check on his Hegewisch
bank and indorsed it himself. Cox
placed his money with Meeker and Nc
: Cune, but Friedrich insisted that he
run il through the bank or that the
Stockholders pay the money in case
Carter wins. a proposition which the
Stockholders refused to accept. accord
ing TO Charley Friedrich"s version.
There are comparatively few bets
of any size made in this campaign. and
as far as the freak bets are concerned
none have yet bobbed up with the ex-
ception OF that classic in which Eric
, Lund took So from John Papp in con-
tradiction of Papp's statement that
Hanly was running for governor of In
diana.

STRENUOUS EFFORTS
TO KEEP IT A SECRET
Indiana Harbor-East Chicago Street
Car Accident Results in New
Orders Being Issued By Chief of
Police Higgins for Street Car
Conductors.

East Chicago, Ind. Oct. 13.-Despite
the efforts of both railroad and street
officials TO keep secret an accident thnt
might have resulted in a loss of Iife
the details of the affair leaked out
The accident. in question occurred ON
Friday evening at IL o'clock, when an
Indiana Harbor-Enst Chicago street
ear crashed into an engine on the c.
II. Il. tracks. Witnesses of the nfTnfr
were siIenced and 1T was with the
utmost difficulty that the meagre de-
tails could be secured. The near
tragedy, moreover. was the direct re-
suit of one of the most fragrant viola
tiOns of railroad and state laws. being
caused by the failure of the street ear
conductor TO ''fiag" the crossing.
Details of Accident
The car in question was car No. so
of the c.. L. S & S B. line. one of the
small cars operating between this city
and Indiana Harbor and was in charge
of Motorman M. Schroeder and Con-
ductor Brandt. The men were both
new to the work, having but taken the
positions twelve hours before to fill
the vacancies. occurring from the dis
charge of Moffet and Hughes, two of
the old men on the line. A strange
feature of the affair is that Moffet and
Hughes had been discharged for bump
into another street car. on side track.
and breaking only the fender of the
car. The two men who so nearly
caused the lives of perhaps fifty pas
sengers were allowed to retain their
position with no more punishment than
a slight reprimand.
AT II o'clock, according to the stor-
les told by two men who were riding
on the rear platform, the car ap-
preached the Euclid avenue crossing

and Maryland as affording good chance
TO the republicans. but these states are
not included in the claim he is making
to his friends.
President Aiding Hughes.
President Roosevelt realizes that a
tremendous fight is being made on Gov
ernor Hughes in New York state, but
at the same time he believes it will
fail, just as the campaign which was
made against him failed in 1898. At
that time the brewers. liquor dealers
and others had an enormous fund which
they used in an endeavor to elect the
democratic candidate for governor.
The president is in heartiest sym
pathy with Governor Hughes. There
is no legitimate effort in behalf of the
governor that he will not take. The
governors stumping tour of western
states for the republican national tick
ct at the sacrifice of his own campaign
in New York, has appealed to the presi-
dent as nothing else could have done
He is personally communicating with
every member of the state machine. He
has written them all personal letters
urging them to support Hughes Loyalty
and thus far only one important county
leader has failed to respond.

Decoratious BeautifuI.
The decora tfons of the hotel. lobby

flags were in abundance. and mingled
with the ferns and flowers to give a
fit setting to the long rows of men
and fashionably attired women.
The festivitS began at 1880. when
the great throng of guests took their
seats at the tables in the main dining

Even though the republicans regard
the questions as silly and unnecessary

BILLHEIMER RESPONDS.
John c. Billheimer. auditor of state.

McAdams. he does not mince words.
Marshall has asked Billheimer if he
did not as deputy auditor of state ac-
cept $1,000 in addition for his services
as clerk of the board of state tax COM
missioners. Bflheimer says boldly:
II did, Then he explains that all
deputy auditors accepted the additional
compensation. a democratic tax board
and a democratic attorney general hav-
ing decided that the duties were dis
tinct and separate and compensatory
in separate amounts. Mr.. Billheimer
says he not only accepted the $1,000 in
