GO THEM ONE BETTER
Republicans Turn Trick of
Democrats in Gary
Last Night.

Monday morning the republicans of
the city woke up to find that the dem
ocrats, some time during the night had
Uttered the streets and buildings of
the city with democratic literature and
pictures, so thick that it filled the
streets. and Bryan's countenance glared
from every available space. This morn
ing, however, the democrats found that
the republicans had gone the one bet
ter and they awoke to find that on
every door in the city was fastened a
neat ring on the bottom of which was
fastened an Eagle in the center of a
circle with big cross just below 1T.
Inscribed on the poster was the words,
today is election day, vote for Taft and
Watson.
The novelty of the thing appealed to
the voters of both policies and they
all admitted that the republicans OF
Gary had pulled off a neat and clean
surprise. The work was done early
this morning and there was a tag in
front of every mans door before he
could get to the polls at six o'clock
to vote.

THE ATTEMPT
WAS VERY FUTILE
Engineer and Conductor of
Bryan Train Were
Bryan Men.
ALL GARY IS SMILING TODAY
LaPorte Paper Shows that Republic
ans Were Not to Blame for
Delay of Bryan's Train.

Gary republicans are laughing over
the frantic efforts of a Hammond pa
per strewn broadcast here yesterday
to try to convince the voters that the
republicans were responsible for the
failure of the Bryan train to get in
Gary on tima last Saturday night.
In speaking of the charges the La
porte Herald says:
ITO show how desperate the demo-
Gratis are. just notice. Fred Henoch
announced to the throng waiting at
the Lake Shore station Saturday night
that the railroad corporations were de-
liberately delaying the trains, so as
to interfere with the democratic cele-
brations. Such rot is an insult to the
Intelligence of the people whom Mr..
Henoch would have believe his state
ment. The lateness of the Bryan train
was due to the fact that the engine
broke down at Macy, on the Lake Erie
railroad. The engineer of the tarfn
was Barney Flatterday, a democrat and
! a Bryan man. The conductor was Mr..
Patient. also a Bryan man. Would
these men, Mr.. Henoch. delay the Bry-
an special? In Chicago another demo-
crat did some guessing and as a result
put his foot in it. He said the engine
| broke down at Chesterton on the Lake
Erie and that the train was held al
| Chesterton for four hours during the
afternoon. The truth is the train new
er reached Chesterton, which is on the
Lake Shore, until II O'Clock Saturday
night, and it never stopped there. Some
cheerful stories are told in the name
of democracy"

ELECTION EXCITEMENT
PLENTY At GARY
One Man Who Has Been in
America Nineteen Years
Is Arrested.
MANY CHALLENGES ARE MADE
Democratic Game Is to Delay the
Voting as Long as Is
Possible.

Seven foreigners We're arrested at
Gary this morning. charged with max
ing false afhdavits to the effect that
they have lived in this country the re-
quired number of years.
This is the first attempt reported on
the part of the democrats to prevent
the foreigners from voting. The Gary
republicans say that the democrats are
challenging the foreigners as fas as
they come up TO vote.
The whole game is to delay the vot-
ing as long as possible and prevent as
many foreigners from balloting as pos
sible. The democrats have stated that
if they can keep the vote down to 1900
they will have a majority in Gary, but
If the vote goes above that figure it
will mean a republican victory.
The situation in Gary is very acute.
1t is said that there is large number
of sluggers sent out from Chicago to
intimidate the foreign voters. The
whole idea is to deprive a foreigner of
his vote, no matter how much he de-
serves to vote.
In Country Nineteen Years.
One man who was challenged proved
conclusively that he had been in this
country nineteen years That did not
make ana difference. He was arrested
and taken to Jail, where he was com
PEELED to furnish bond to guarantee his
appearance at the trial.
There are scores of other cases where
the democrats have attempted to in
timidate the foreign voters. The situa-
ton is being taken in hand by the
party leaders and the democrats have
been informed that they cannot ehal-
Ienge voters Unfortunately.
Most of the trouble has been in the
first. sixth and seventh precincts.

cast.
Among the speakers at this meeting
were w. ]. McAleer of Hammond. Abe

strong republican majority.

One of the meetings in the south
end was that of the colored republicans
of the city who were so enthusiastic
that their cheering could be heard for
blocks. They were addressed by sew
eral good speakers, and each one of
them was cheered enthusiastically. The
meeting last night assured the repub-
licans that they will have almost a
solid colored vote today. number OF
the leaders will work all day at the
polls getting out the vote. and there
has been one man appointed at each OF
the polling places to look after the
negroes in that precinct.
At Adams and Sixteenth street last
night in a vacant store room the italian
republicans held a splendid meeting
and they were addressed in their fer

1.-THE aeroplane would prove invaluable
in naval warfare" he remarked to an
army officer during Wright's flight yester-
day. Mr. Wrights machine requires a
speed of "a miles an hour as an impetus
in order to rise into the air. 1t would.
therefore, require no launching appara-
tus If it were started from one Of the
scout cruisers which makes % and 25
knots an hour, or about q miles. 1t could
fly over the advance column of an ene-
my's fleet and drop explosives or secure
valuable information.
Instead of the skids which Mr.. Wright
uses. for naval purposes the aeroplane
could be fitted with two light water skIds
similar to rowing shell SO that it could
land on water. After the machine made
fight it could be Drought alongside OF
the ship and be pulled out of the water
by means of the davits.
THE bureau Of equipment has an ap'
preparation available for buying equip
ment for vessels of the navy. and this
money could he drawn on for the purpose
of buying an aeroplane with which t.
make start towards building up al
aerial feet for the navy"
