Optimism for Success at

Line for Brennan.

a meeting brim fun of of enthus-
iasm was held last night at the Binz-
enhof hall in Gary where the repub-
liean club gathered in monthly session.
Reports from arious parts or the city
were heard and by their optimistic
tone it looks as If absolute confidence
of success at the coming election pre-
walls.
After the routine business of the
evening was finished. many speeches
were made, in which the situation in
the various parts of the city was laid
candidly before the members OF the
club. Most of these tinged of amaz-
ing confidence for this early stage of
the campaign.
Among the speakers last night We're
Harry Hall, W. F. Hodges, Charles
Gregory. Alexander Rodman. Gustave
Heart. Alexander Naylor. J. ]. Kelley.
Clyde Hunter. John Kessric and sew
eral others who made short talks.
Among the best speeches of the even
ing was that of John Brennan. the
leading republican candidate for may
or. One of the points which Mr. Bren-
nan made was that no matter who was
the selection of the republican party
to make the race against Knots, that
the present town president under any
circumstances and that If he was not
| chosen as the candidate he would be
ready at all times to take off his coat
and help the man who was nominated
| one of the interesting speeches and
that which created the biggest sensa-
tion of the evening. was the talk Of
| Alexander Rodman. in which he related
! how Col. Mayo. the right hand man of
L. A. Bryan had taken him into Mr.
Knots office and there attempted to
enlist his services for Knots. He also
told an amusing story of how mum
Der of colored men besides himself had
been invite dto Knots residence and
there refused to join the Knots con-
tingency- Upon Col Mayo's failure to
/ line up these colored men. John Sears.
the present republican trustee. took a
hand in the work and after lauding his
leader asked the eolored man to sup
port him. Again he refused to do so.
The meeting was ended so late last
night that the meeting of the march
! ing club was postponed until a later
date.

THE TRUTH
ABOUT KLIVER

Because The Times published a
story a few days ago to the effect
that W. H. Kliver, building COM
missioner of Gary, and Thomas E.
Knots, president of the town
board, were seen together at the
notorious Jackson street resort
last Sunday. Kliver provoked an
assault on a Times reporter and
since that time has been parading
the streets of Gary villifying Times
representatives. In order that the
people of Gary may see what sort
of an official he is, at meeting
last night of republicans, Alex
Rodman confirmed The Times
story and said that Kliver declared
he went to the resort to inspect a
sewer. That is a good metaphor
for the place Kliver visited. In
support of its story as proof OF
the visit of Kliver and Knots to
the disreputable Jackson resort,
The Times submits the following
affidavits:
