the other hand was jubiIation. But
when the second precincts of the Sixth
and Seventh were accounted for, the
tired feeling changed places, and con-
sternation took possession Of the Hem
brof following.
Judge Hembroff in the meantime was
getting bulletins from the battle of the
ballots. by phone in his new building
IN Michigan avenue. the Harbor. He
was surrounded by about three score
or more of the faithful who were anxi-
ously awaiting the final results. When
these were made known Judge Hem
brofr gamely remarked: well. I'm
beaten. I have no complaint to offer.
l guess Schlieker was the better man.
None of those who were in the
know OF things had at any time ever
entertained any serious expectation
for success In the candidacy of any
but Judge Hembroff and Dr. Schlieker.
since Albert Lewis dropped out Had
re remained in the race, HembroY
would have won as sure as twice two
makes four. 1t was when the alder
man from the First abandoned the
fight much to the surprise Of every
body who at least. if they gave Lewis
credit for little else, regarded him as
game fighter that DIR. Schlieker be-
gan to take on the proportions Of a
serious quantity to be reckoned with in
the campaign. Everybody believed
that Patterson and Sauer were in it
to split the vote in Indiana Harbor for
Judge Hembroff. while Reid and Pow
ers. the East Chicago candidates were
generally regarded as having entered
the race in good faith on their own be-
half and in the interests of no other
candidates. Powers, however. ran
ahead of what was looked for.
While many are disappointed in the
outcome, there is a general feeling of
relief that the matter is disposed Of
so far as the nominations were con-
cerned. and on the whole the ticket is
regarded as a good and representative
one Of the local G. o. P.
The consensus of opinion among the
candidates for the various offices on
the republican ticket. whose fate was
decided at Saturdays primaries, is to
the effect that everybody was given
deal so far as chairman C. L. Kirk
and the city central committee was
concerned. Every one had a word of
praise for Chairman Kirk and even
those who suffered the worst defeat
had no fault to find with him Sunday
he was on the street much OF the day
and 1t was almost impossible for him
TO get to his office, so overwhelmed
was he with persons stopping him to
congratulate him, and otherwise to
compliment him on the excellent SER
vice he rendered.

RAYS mixing
CASEY A SCREAM

The Rays in King Casey" at the
Towle Opera House last night proved
to be one Of the best attractions of the
year. Johnny Ray the comedian, was
positively the funniest character that
has been seen on the stage in Ham
mond this season
His monkey shines and his Irish
brogue were original and clever. The
show was a scream from start to An
ish, and the audience was in a roar of
laughter most of the time
The chorus was not only the smartest
and most clever that has appeared in
the city in some time, but 1t met with
the full approval of those who are in
the habit of occupying bald headed
row.
The minute inspection of the ballet
that was possible from that Going Of
vantage was perfectly satisfactory in
every particular and the bald heads
were delighted.
Chorus Could Sing.
And the chorus could sing some, too.
It was a well-trained musical agEre-
cation and was unusual in that il com
bined both beauty and musical excel
lence. The people OF Hammond will
never get through talking about the
sirnian-like gyrations of King Casey
and the good work of G. Milton. who
played the part Of his twin brother,
Pat Casey, the king of the islands Of
Lala Pa zaza. Ford Stirling as Orphis
noodle and ]. B. Morris. as Rocky
Mountain Jack, were also very good
While the company played to only a
small matinee, the house was packed in
the evening and again Hammond dem
onstrated the fact that it will be lib
eral with its patronage when the first
class attractions come to town.
The show was In two acts and the
costumes were all that could be de-
sired The company was of good size
and was more than an average road
company.
