SALOON MEN MAY
Be DISAPPOINTED
Governor Elect Marshall Is
Regarded as Friend of
Temperance.
HICKS NOT AFRAID OF HIN
Local Option Will Stand on the
Indiana Statute Books,
Says Leader.

SaIOOnkeepers of Lake county are
great deal of anxiety and soIicitude
and the attitude of the coming state
administration with regard to the coun-
ty option law.
The Rev. George Hicks, superinten-
dent of the South Bend district of the
Anti-Saloon league, does not believe
the local option law viii be taken of the
statute books.
AS to the new law being tested in
st. Joseph county Mr.. Hicks said the
matter would not be taken up for an
other week at least. 1t is understood,
however. that this is one of the counties
in which the anti-saloon people will
take immediate action.
Mr.. Hicks stated that a meeting of
the Indiana Anti-Saloon league will be
held in indianapolis Wednesday, He
also said the matter of calling cleo
lions will come up at that time and
that the st. Joseph county question
would be decided then.
After studying the results of the
election IN Indiana said Mr. Hicks
with reference to the program of the
Indiana AntiSaloon league, I feel that
the league has suffered no defeat
County local option is a law, and the
legislature elected will not repeal it.
More than a year ago the trustees OF
the league met in Indianapolis in an
all-day session and finally unanimously
passed a resolution, which was pub
lished all over the state, declaring that
the unit of saloon exclusion was toe
small and also declaring for county
local option. There was no politics in
the action"
No Politics i'm Leagues Action.
Governor Hanly called the extra ses-
sion. continued Mr. Hicks, and the
county unit law was passed. AS far as
the league is concerned there was nc
politics in that There is only one
consistent course for the league to take
at any time, and that is to indorse the
candidates of any party who stands fol-
the leagues program. The fact that the
county option bill passed the legisla-
ture is evidence that the people were
ready for 1t. The law is a law because
democratic members of the house
thought it right. There is no politics III
that. The county local option law is
therefore a non-partisan measure
back by a non-partisan organization
and vii remain on the statute books
Concerning Mr.. Marshall. Mr.. Hicks
said: The league regards Mr.. Marsh
all as a temperance man, and we dc
not fear that the brewers can persuade
him to recommend that the law be re.
pealed. OF course, the league in
Idorsed Watson and did everything Il
could to elect him. No temperate,
democrat would have had any respec
for the league If it had done other
wise, because Marshall stood by hi:
platform and refused to abide by The
leagu's position. The league had {
right to go after Marshall, but he il
elected and he Is the leagus governor
and, the superintendent of the Soutl
Bend district has no fear that he viii

Given Saturday Even
ing, November %.
Especial to THE T1MEs.)

East Chicago. Ind, Nov. IL. - East
Chicago lodge No. 9S1, B. P. o. E., is
arranging for big doings' at the Lew
is skating rink on Saturday evening,
Nov 2S. Their annual masquerade ball,
one of the choice social features of this
city, Will be held on that evening, and
the officials in charge have succeeded
in inducing Mr.. Lewis to suspend rink
operations for that evening. 1t was
with the utmost difficulty that this
could be done, Mr.. Lewis declaring that
the rink was built for skating pur-
poses only, but finally decided to devote
that evening to the plans and projects
of the local Elks.
Hall VIII Be Decorated.
The hall which is splendidly ar
ranged for such an occasion, will be
gaily decorated with flags and symbolic
emblems. The galleries, which will
comfortably hold four or five hundred
persons, will also be draped in gay col
ors, while the floor will be given the
finest preparation possible by master
architects. Fancy costumes will be de-
manded, no one being permitted on the
floor in usual dress, or unmarked.
Prizes are also to be offered for the
best costume of each nature, the list of
prizes to be Issued by the committee in
a few days.
Big Sale of Tickets.
The sale of the tickets for the func-
ton has already been beyond the best
expectations of the lodge, almost two
hundred couples already having an
nounced their intention of attending the
annual celebration. With two weeks
still remaining in which to further
prosecute the sale of tickets, there is
little doubt that the ball will be the
finest. from both an artistic and at
| tendance standpoint, that has ever been
held in East Chicago.
Mr. Lewis has decided to make sew
! eral minor changes in the routine of
the skating rink. The floor is to be
-sandpapered by an electrical machine,
thus placing it in first class shape for
the dance, while an effort will be made
to have the galleries finished and stain

details Of rink operation has resulted
! in Mr.. Lewis actively allying himself

| He has therefore, given up his office
In the Calumet Hardware company, and
will hereafter devote all his time to the
advertising and maintainence of what
may easily be termed "the finest rink
in Lake county"
