HARMONY is
ABSOLUTE
Efforts in Certain Quar-
ters" to Establish In
surgency Fall Flat.

The republicans Of Hammond have
settled down to a steady campaign in
favor of their favorites in the coming
primaries. Today there was not sin
gle ripple in the smooth surface of
the republican political swimming hole
Everything was harmonious in spite of
the effort in certain quarters to make
it appear that there was a large in
surgent element in the party
The republican smile. the imitation
of the Taft smile. was to be seen ev-
erywhere. and no better indication of
the certainty of harmony at the pri-
maTies could be had.
There Is a total absence Of the wild
waving of arms and the tumultuous
shouting that has characterized the
disastrous splits that have occurred in
the party in the past
There is not merely the appearance
Of harmony to make things look good
on the surface but there is actually
the best of feeling all around.
Coming Every Day.
More candidates are coming out ev-
sry day, and the ticket is being

Democratic Ranks Disheart-

can Lineup; Muster Bare

Own Weakness.

Little interest IS manifesting itself
in democratic ranks regarding the city
primaries which are to be held next
Saturday afternoon. The various rea-
sons that have conspired to muster a
bare ticket, with the exception Of one
or two places. has eliminated all in
terest, and were it not for two words
the primaries would be superhuous.
The strong lineup that is forming
on the republican side is spreading
CONSERVATION among the democrats.
There were those who in the beginning
attempted to belittle the following with
which Dick" Schaaf is credited. and
those who said that Tom Swanton

The men IN the republican ranks who
are announcing themselves for the va
rious city Offices are by the democrats
admittedly men without reproach. Not
only that, but they are strong men. who
will get votes irrespective of party.
With such a situation staring them

What They Say
About Schaaf

Dick Schaaf Jr has announced him
self as a candidate for the republican
nomination for mayor Of Hammond. Of
course, Dick viii be nominated, and of
course Dick will be elected. Dick Is
the idol Of Lake county and he deserves
to be.-Chesterton Tribune
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1909-09-23

In the person of F. Richard Schaaf
the republicans of Hammond have hit
upon the ideal man to lead the party
to success in the mayoralty race. He
has a personality that readily brings
the people in touch with him. While
he has dignifed, well-posed attitude,
he has a friendly. sincere way about
him, and the manner in which he be-
lieves in taking the people into his
confidence. is the secret of his success
in politics. and accounts in great
measure for the victory of the repub-
lcan party in Lake county last No
vember. He is Of the Abraham Lincoln
type, and his motto Is malice for none
and charity for all. He is firm be-
lever of affairs being conducted by
and for the people. He can be elected
and will make a splendid mayor

Grand Army Suggestions.

Editer National Tribune: see by a re-
cent issue that the Commander of the G..
A. X. recommends that an earnest effort
be made to induce the comrades to join
Posts, and the Womans organizations are
asked, too, and are willing to help every
way they can, socially and financially.
The financial policy, l think is generally
wrong, as the boys Il always call them
bOys) are not paupers vet. Ny idea is
different First send men to the National
EDcampment who will represent the boys.
1t was not done at the last Encampment.
according to what l hear. Second, amend
the Bylaws of the Order, so that COM
rade once belonging to the Order Is a
member of any Post as long as he remains
in good standing. just give him card
signed by the Post Commander, attested
standing, dues paid to end of quarter. and
on his presenting this card to any Post he
should be considered member of that
Post, without any of the formalties that
are gone through now. At whatever Post
he belongs to, when his quarteriy dues be-
come due, he should be required to pay
there: so he could not pay to his home
Post. for instance. and enjoy the benefits
of other Posts for nothing.
Then make the fee as near uniform as
possible. and as small 1--WE are more bur
dened with years than CASH.. and believe
it will bring most of the boys in. Some
will stay out, at any rate. and have good
reasons for so doing. l see by the issue

An Old War Song.

W. c. Lowery. Mt Fairyiew Grove
Home, South osnaburg, o., writes that
he is very feeble from palsy on the left
side, but he gets many ,etters from old
comrades which cheer his heart with their
fraternity and kindliness. He sends a
song, which was written to the music of
the 'Bonny Blue Flag" and sung during
the war by the men of his regiment and
the brigade.
We're fighting for the Union.
We're fighting for the just,
Were fighting for the happy land
Where sleeps our fathers dust.
1t cannot be discovered,
Tho it costs US bloody wars;
We never can give up the land
Where float the ''Stripes and Stars"
Chorus to each verse;
Hurrah. Hurrah! for equal rights. Hur-
rahf
Hurrah for the brave. old Flag
That floats the Stripes and Stars"
We treated you as brothers,
Until you drew the sword
With impious hand AZ Sumter,
You cut the silver chord
So. now, you hear our bugles,
We come, the sons of Mars
we Talley rouni mat brave old Flag,
Which bears the Stripes and Stars"
We do not want your cotton,
We care not for your slaves,
But rather than divide this land
Wen fill your Southern graves.
With Lincoln for our chieftain,
Well wear our country's sears
AID ralley round that brave old Flag
That bears the Stripes and Stas."
We deem our cause most holy,
We know we're in the right,
And twenty million freemen
Stand ready for the fight
Our Bride is fair Columbia,
No stain her beauty mars,
Ger her We'll raise that brave old Fiag
Which bears the Stripes and Stars
And when this war is over.
Well each resume our home,
And treat you still as brothers.
Wherever you may roam.
Well pledge the hand of friendship.
And think no more of wars.
But rally round that brave old Flag
That bears the Stripes and Stars"
