As soon as the cows are procured
there will be three tests day. The
first viii be at 6 in the morning, the
next at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and
the last one at o'clock at night.
Mr.. Umrath, the inventor of the ma
chine, said to a reporter of THE TIMES

demonstrate to the farmers of Lake
county that our mixer will save him
money.
One machine will milk two cows at
time and six machines while milk

man. It can easily be seen that this
will greatly reduce the cost of labor
on dairy farms.

z ROUS|NG
HEMBROFF
MEETINGS
Especial to THE TIMEs.)


East Chicago. Ind, Sept. 1.-two
rousing meetings were held in East
Chicago in the interests of the candi-
dacy Of Judge T. NJ. c. Hembrof for
mayor
The first was at Weiland's hall, which
was crowded when Judge Hembroff
arose to state his position in the COM
ing mayoralty campaign. That he car
ried conviction with every word he ut
tered was apparent, and men who went
there with the intention Of confusing
him by asking what they supposed
would be embarrassing questions. were
constrained TO remain quiet.
The judge began his address by stat
ing that he was there for the purpose
of answering some charges made by
an opposing candidate but that his
purpose did not include the singing OF
mud or villifying of any candidate who
opposed him. He said that he believed
any man who aspired to the highest
office within the gift Of the people of
municipality should be too high
minded. too far above and have too
much dignity TO resort to such tactics.
Judge Hembror then spoke of the
wonderful resources of the Calumet re-
gion, and East Chicago in particular.
pointing out the fact that this town by
| its central location was bound to be
| the logical metropolis of the whole ter
ritory of northern Lake county. He
| dwelt on the canal and the great de-
velopment its presence would bring to
East Chicago and Indiana Harbor. He
asked the voters OF East Chicago to
| give him their support and promised
them that, although his residence was
in Indiana Harbor his conscience would
not permit him, IL elected. to favor that
| section of the city any more than any
other.
Then he touched on some of the
charges that had been made against
him. He denied most emphaticalIy that
any corporation had a thing to do with
his coming out for the office. He de-
clared he was not the attorney for the
Inland Steel company and had never
| received a dollar from them for serv-
ices or anything else, although he could
see no reason why he should not do
work for them in his profession II they
had called on him any more than the
employees in any mill should do work
in the various departments and be paid
for It,
Il believe in square deal for the
| corporation. as we'll as a suare deal for
the men who work for it." said the
judge. His forceful manner of speak
ing carried conviction, and all who
heard him were impressed with the sin
certify of his claim, that he would give
both the men and the mills that same
suare deal.

the next term of Judge Dayton's
Court. The injunction in question
was brought against the National

The temporary injunction issued
by Judge Dayton restrained the
organizers from asking men to Join

Workers is an illegal organization.

case.

In this country every citizen is

or abrogated by Office holders who
build up machine to continue

stroke at both the spirit and

are rapidly approaching. Charles.
ton is a great and growing city
beautifully supplied with an
abundance of natural resources and
it is matter of gravest import, as
to how we shall be governed.
Our taxes are already high, being
assessed as we are at the actual
value of real estate.
If we continue to vote high
salaries to our public officials we
must accept the consequences and
face 4 deficit, and deficit cannot
be wiped out unless we make an
extra levy and this opens the
purse Of every tax paying citizen

and the consequent loss of $40, 900
in revenue let us retrench in every
possible manner and lower the
salary of officials to the minimum
wherever it is possible TO do so.
However, we should not place them
so low as TO interfere with the
efficiency OF the public service.
We need good police protection
and in this connection L would ask
that their salaries be raised rather
than lowered, for it is not among
the police that we need to lower
salaries. The reduction of salaries
be made with the Board of
