IN POLITICS

If ever the people over the state
that General Apathy was going
to manage the campaign for both par
ties this year, they were badly mis-
taken. Groups of men congregate on
the street corners and talk politics and
there have been some heated political
discussions.
The time of the campaign is now so
short that it is sure to be heated from
now on. The republicans are planning
to literally deluge the cities of the
Calumet region with speakers of the
very best order.
The Hemenway meeting at Indiana
Harbor will be the first big one, and
that will be followed by the big Wat
son meeting in Hammond. The re-
publican meetings will be held in big
tents for the reason that there is no
auditorium in Hammond which is large
enough to hold the crowds which will
attend the republican meetings.
Anderson Ind, Sept. 1.-two repre-
sentatives from this county will go to
the special session OF the legislature
each bearing a draft of an important
bill to be presented at the first oppor-
|, tunity. C. K. Mccullough will present
a bill repeating the metropolitan police
law. Should a republican measure be
introduced embodying the provisions of
his bill Mccullough will support it.
Representative L. A. Stephens has
prepared a draft of a bill repeating
the present cities and towns law and
substitutes a bill which divides the
cities in the state into five classes, but
| instead of classifying according to pop
u1ation the assessed valuation OF prop
erty is used as the basis. The bill also
seeks the reduction of the number of
office holders and the salaries. The Of
1 fee of city controller fs abolished and
the duties conferred upon the city
| clerk. The office of city judge is also
abolished and the duties conferred upor
the mayor. whose salary is reduced
from $4,000 to $1,000 per annum. The
salary of the members of the board o.
public works is reduced from 81 200 K

an and in the course Of Mr.. Bryan $
campaign.
Your charge is so serious that I
can not allow it to go unnouced. Gov

and the whole is rolled down until the
tire of loaded wagon will make no
track. Then the road is finished save
for the requirement that 1t must sea-
son for fifteen days before being open
ed to traffic. This is description of
crushed stone surface. Where other
materials must be used they are pro-
yided for In the French scheme-burn-

whole system for the country. Every
man In the list receives specific orders
from his next superior and is ranked
according to his execution Of them.
They have no broad tire laws In
France, but that happens because the
people use broad tires by instinct. They
have sense enough to know that good
wide tires make the roads better in
stead of worse Nobody else except
the French seems to have learned this.
