right when he said that seven months

brewers are said 20 be practically solid
for John r. Lamb of Terre Haute.
1t is related that the candidacy of
Edward G. Hoffman of Fort Wayne is a
blind" and that in time he will be
withdrawn in favor of the man they
favored by the brewers. In the mean
time. Hoffman is democratic chairman
of the Twelfth district and a rafting
young fellow, and is protege of
Steve Fleming of Fort Wayne. who
is one of the most powerful brewers
of the state, being principal owner of
the Beghoff Brewing company and

fight in the coming session of the gem

Not Taken Seriously.
Hoffman's candidacy is not taken Sc
riously, and it is generally understood
that he is merely being used by Flem-
ing in order to hold the votes until
such time as Fleming and his col
leagues may see fit to deliver them.
Fleming, it must be known is a per-
sonal enemy of Kern. The two have

OVER ON the men who are bringing
proceedings to oust them from Of
flee.
without entering into the merits of
the case as to the right or wrong of
the Impeachment proceedings against
these men 1T is apparent that the ef-
fort to oust that crowd from office
was unsuccessful.
Pat Malone was the first to re-
sign after the impeachment proceed
ings were filed. That left John Carr
and Gus Anderson of the old board
in office These men appointed John
North to fill the vacancy.
Then John Carr resigned, but there
was left Gus Anderson and John North,
who were in sympathy with the OLD
board, and these men appointed viii
liam Olander in Cars place.
VIII Fight to Last Ditch.
Gus Anderson says that he will fight
the case out to the supreme court of
the state, but if Anderson loses out
North and Olander will appoint man
in his place, who is friendly to the ole
board and there you are.
Those who started the prosecution
will have ousted all of the old board
but that board will have selected theil
friends to take their place, to serve or
the board by proxy, as it were, an6
