NATURALIZATION
MILLS GRINDING
New Citizens Divided Be
tween Democrats and
Republicans.
HAMMOND NOT CONSPICUOUS
Most of the Foreigners Come From
Gary, East Chicago and
Whiting.

At the rate the aturalization mill
is grinding in the office of Deputy
United states Clerk Charles s. Sur
prise the the whole region republicans
and democrats will stand about even
at the end of the campaign, although
the results in the various communities
are very much different.
John Papp of the Standard Steel Car
district, candidate for reelection on the
democratic ticket and himself the hold
er of only his first papers. is about
the only man in Hammond who has
been active along the naturalization
line. HIS total probably reaches only
eighty foreigners. Not more than a
half dozen foreigners have been natur-
allied by the republicans, and these
only at the request of the applicants
who came to the republicans
In Gary the situation is different.
There Tom Knots has caused the nat
nralization at a ratio OF to l in his
favor on the whole for the district.
this Is Offset by the East Chicago re-
publicans who have naturalized large
number In Whiting the results have
been about equal.

This Evening Status Of
Contestants Guarded.

All Saints church bazaar closes to-

terest viii center in the contests, threei
of which are TO close this evening.
These three contests lie between Miss.
Lulu Sherry and Miss Marie James for
diamond ring; between William.
ORourke and Arthur Wright of Chi.
cago, who is a travelling salesman for
the c.. ]. S. railroad, also for a diamond,
ring. and between Mrs. A. f. Knots
and Mrs. Bergman for set of dishes.
Neither of the contestants know
where they stand IN the contest. as
each is holding back information from
the other. Each has host of friends
who are working to the last minute to
raise the dollar which may decide the
contest
Men and women, politicians and busi-
ness men rubbed shoulders during the
last week at the fair, and big crowd
is expected this evening.
The girls doll contest was closed
last night. the prize having been
awarded to Pernelia McBee. The bar
rel of candy, for which several thou
sand penny chances had been sold, went
to Walter Walsh.
There are still many articles. some of
them quite valuable, which are to be
chanced off this evening and there
will undoubtedly be bargains for those
who attend.
On the whole the bazaar has been
successful There have been some gem
erous contributions and a good attend
ance, with the exception of one or two
nights, this being due to bad weather

DID ROOSEVELT
LACK BACKBONE:

The democrats say that Schaaf
was forced to be the candidate of
the republican. They say that If
he had any backbone, a mind of his
own he would have refused to be
forced by the people to run for Of
fee.
Ex-President Theodore Roosevelt
was forced by the republican lead
ers of this country TO run for the
office of vice president.
Roosevelt refused to accept the
nomination three times. Finally
against his will he made the race.
The party won, he won, and in the
strange fate that has followed him
through life made him the successor
of the martyred William Mckinley.
Was Theodore Roosevelt, weak
wiIIed. did he lack backbone. would
anyone accuse Roosevelt of not hay-
ing a mind of his own. He turned
around and fought the very inter
ests which forced him 10 accept the
nomination against his VIII when he
found they needed whipping.

ANOTHER
INDUSTRY
IN PRISON
TIMES BUREAU
AT THE STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis. Ind. Oct. 23.-The Mich
igan City prison may be the scene Of
the starting of a new industry in the
near future. The industry will provide
for the manufacture of certain kinds of
farm machinery.
The idea IS the outgrowth of the op
position on the part of the harvester
trust to the manufacture of binder
twine in the Indiana states prison.
The opposition reused the fighting blood
in Governor Marshall. and he is now
considering the advisability of going
into further competition with the trust
The governor today instructed War
den Reid Of the Michigan City prison
to start an investigation into the adj
visibility of starting PRISON manufac-
ture OF the kinds Of farm machinery
specified. If the idea is carried out it
will constitute departure in prison
labor.

END Of THE
CAMPAIGN
IN SIGHT

The campaign IS on the home stretch.
The meetings tonight Will end the
activities of the week, and then there
Will be but one week and one day in
which to continue the hot campaign
that has begun.
The score to date shows that Becker
is losing ground every day and that
Schaaf is making remarkable gains.
The people have made up their minds
that they don't want any more OF
Becker's machine rule.
Look for Hot Time.
The campaign of the coming week
will probably be hotter than ever, and
the democrats will exhaust their re-
sources IN their efforts to stop the tide
which has turned against them. The
whole crew Of political highbinders
is frightened to death.
Becker mas gore to the people and
they. many OF them. have told him
that they have had enough Of him. His
meeting have not been enthusiastically
attended, and many Of the old-Hne
democrats whose activities in former
campaigns have been conspicuous, are
doing nothing.
Tonight the republicans Will hold q
meeting in Woicinskf's hall, at the
corner Of TowIe and Huehn streets
This viii be another meeting of the
people Of the first and tenth wards and
another protest against Becker's re-
fusal TO recognize the north side until
he wants the votes OF the residents

Times Story of Minas' Need

tiful Results.
OVER FORTY ASK FOR WORK
Other Business Houses Are Short of
Hands Owing to Increase
In Trade.

No better proof can be had of the
pulling power Of THE TIMES as a me-
dunn of publicity than the experience
of z. C. Minas since THE TIMES last
night printed the story of his difficulty
in securing men, not to I'LL the places
of the trusty employees who are already
working for him, but for the purpose
Of meeting the demands of his increas-
ed business.
Since last evening over forty per-
sons have gotten into communication
with Mr.. Minas, with the idea Of Sc
curing employment in his store. And
this. in spite of the fact that there are
very few men oht Of employment at
the present time.
Those who would take positions
with Mr.. Minas have called up on the
telephone; they have called at the store
and they have stopped him on the
street.
No better proof could be had that

which have been created by his in

And Mr.. Minas is not the only mer-
chant in Hammond N-no is short Of
employees. There are other business
houses which could use more help and
which Will soon be compelled to take
on a large number of new employees
owing to their great increase Of busi-
ness. 1t is Hammond prosperity that
is responsible foe the difficulty in get
ting men to work in the mercantile
establishments. Il is expected that
there Will be an influx Of ambitious
young men from the small towns in
the county which are not so strenu-
ously active in business way TO get
lucrative employment in the stores. the
