ssSherIf Grant was in Gary yes
terday and served four grand jury
indictments. How do You suppose
the grand jury knew there were any
blind pigs and gambling resorts in
Gary.
'sSears, Chief Martin, Cntey and
and myself testified before the jury.
still we did not give any incrIminat-
Ing evidence against them. wonder
If they feel sore towards us. Stin,
we might have protected them to
better advantage as long they
contributed so handsomely toward
the fund.
ssIt can't be that they have any in
dictments for us. Surely we have
covered up cur tracks well. Catey
knows his business. still, Juric is
liable to go OF haIf-cocked. Juric Is
all right, but he don't know the
game.
"CrOlius held his primaries yester-
day; received over LOO votes.
Can't understand II. Had my ex-
cOnvfcts and sIuggers at all the poll
ing places, but still they were only
able TO turn away a few votes. III
our attempt TO steal the ballot boxes
had only been successful.
"WeII, we had some satisfaction
out of 1t. NestOrovich was arrested,
our men made their escape, and sew
eraI of the CrOIius men were sliced
up pretty badly.
.StIII the large vote for CroIius
locks bad for us. Can't understand
why he is so popular. Only been
what following he has. Must nut
the police at work in the south end.
"JohnsOn, Piper, Casner and Jack
son have got to get out and work
harder. Look what have done for
them. Can't afford TO protect them
for nothing. Must call another seS-
sion of the blind piggers and tell
them 10 get busy.
sI<liver has got to get busy. too.
He must earn his 500 per month.
His duties as building commissioner
have been very light for the last few
months, and while the campaign is
ON the city might as well contribute
$I00 per month for my election.
'.kIiver IL pretty foxy. SuII. l
am watching him closely. You know
n man that has been turn-cOaf
once is liable to turn again. Will
have to watch him; CroIIus may get
him. still. IL he worked for any
body else than me 1 would fire him.
We really haven't any work for
building commissioner anyway.
still that 500 holds him pretty fast.
It's IA wonderful thing what money
will do. StiII. / can't blame IIIfver
when love 1t myself.
"DOn't Won think l have n wonder
full machine. Look at the men who
ARE working for my eIection-the
whole police force, the fire DEPART
ment. besides Johnson, jackson. pin
er. Jennings, Casner. KIiver. Cain.
DIR. Walsh. BOnicl, Sears, Col. Mayo.
Paine LabOvfch. MarIch. Ferry.
Bernstein, Rogers, Bough, Yanko-
vich and POpOvfch. We have besides
these many other representative. men
from Chicago and elsewhere, but
do not care to state their real
names. I understand several of them
are wanted in other cities.
'.WeII, things look good TO me.
The only mistake was that the town
board made that challenge. They
know that we dare not accent n.
Stili our silence Is enough 10 con-
Wet us. We dare not accept It, Il
would mean my defeat. Sears ought
to have known better. I ,vas NOT in
favor of issuing the challenge In the
first place. But the rest of the seS-
sion thought II was the best course
to take. Oh, wish 1t WAS over.
