CROWN POINT
BACK ON MAP
Auto Club Official Says the
County Seat Has Not
Yet Lost Out.

The tearing down of the mammoth
grandstand at Crown Point does not
necessarily mean that the Chicago Au-
tomobile club will not run road races
next year is the statement given out
by W. w. Crawford. assistant secre-
tary Of the organization On the 9TH
er hand, the officials and directors Of
the club have discussed the advisabilitv
of renewing the classic. While no
formal action has been taken. 1t is pret-
y positive the race Will be held in
1910, says the Chicago Tribune.
The stands were built on a salvage
basis by the d. A Root company Of
Crown Point, with the agreement that
that company could tear down the
structure within thirty days said Mr.
crawford This the company refused
to do and since that time has written
us asking to guarantee the use of the
stands next year We made no such
agreement and wrote the company that
If we held the races next year we might
use the stands. We now understand
they are being torn down and that the
indianapolis Speedway company has
the timber.
The members of the club are enthu-
siastic concerning another race. and
should it be held at Crown Point again
believe that we Will find another loca-
ton to seat the public"
1t is being considered by the board Of
to build two or three stands
At different parts Of the route, but this
VIII be fully discussed by the board at
is meeting some time next month.
As 10 what kind of a race will be
-un next year is not definitely known.
IS the club has not heard from the
Manufacturers Contest association.
This year the races were impromntu
lffairs. but next year. it is believed. the
'ules viii be modified so as to leave
10 Misunderstanding as to the running
II the contests.
Another question to be decided in the
iear future is what kind Of machines
will be used. The manufacturers have
lot decided whether they win race
Ugh or low powered cars. and until this
'oint is definitely fixed the local club
annot go ahead with its arrangements. /.
Nay Run Race in Wisconsin.
Another thing that indicate sthe races
viii be held at Crown Point is that the
hub secured a two-year lease on the
rounds where the original stands were
'uilt and this lease has another year to
un. Unless 1t is utterly impossible to
old the contest at Crown Point a site :
n Wisconsin within an hour and a
alfs ride from Chicago is the next Sc
ection of the club.

NORTH SIDE
FOR SCHAAF
To A MAN
One of the Most Enthusias-
tic Demonstrations of the
Campaign Takes Place in
Kaptur's Grocery = Big
Crowd in Spite of Rain.

The Schaaf meeting, held in John
Kaptur's grocery store, on the north
side. last evening. was one of the most
enthusiastic of the campaign. 1t DEM
onstrates conclusively. if any further
demonstration were necessary. that tho
north side is with Dick Schaaf in this
campaign.
In spite OF the fact that there was
a drizzling rain to discourage the citi-
zen who might be Interested in a cam
paign meeting of the kind, there was a
packed house, and not another per-
son could have crowded into the place
even If he had been ever SO anxious to
to do So
And every person who was present at
the meeting was in perfect sympathy
with what the speakers had to say. All
the oratory that Lawrence Becker can
bring into the campaign cannot con-
vince the people of the north side that
they have not been treated shamefulIy
at the hands of the administration
A settled Conviction.
1t has become a settled conviction
with them that they have been given a
raw deal. and they are going TO regis
ter their votes against Becker and his
political machine on election day.
There were three times as many peo-
pie in attendance at the Sehaaf meet
ing in John Kaptur's place last night
as there have been at any Becker meet
ing on the north side.
There was large number of eandf-
dates present, and great majority of
them made speeches. Richard Schaaf
mde one of the best speeches of the
campaign, and he was followed by
h. 6. Sproat, the republican candidate
for Judge; Paul r. Linpinski. the re-
publican candidate for city treasurer;
William Newman. the candidate for al
Messrs rubaker.
Hunter. Granger and Boone all made
There will be a hummer OF a meet

eeption that the candidacy of Schaaf

Gary 10 appoint him on the board Of
election commissioners as the repre-
sentative of the CroIiua (reguiar)
democracy in place of r. J. Ffnerty. the
representative of the Knots urrexu-
lar) democracy, Is likely to be a long,
drawn-Ouf affair
Judge Virgil S. Reiter has decided
to hear thirty witnesses from each

probably take all of the rest of the
Day and possibly may not decide the
: matter until tomorrow.
Yesterday there were seventy-hve or
a hundred people from Gary in attend
ance at the trial of the case and the
court room was packed with spectators
and witnesses. Today there are several
scores of people from Gary and the
hearing Of the witnesses is now going
on.
Question Now Up.
The question TO be decided is, which
Of the democratic factions in Gary is
the regular democracy This Involves
the whole history Of the campaign in
Gary so far and takes up the matter
Of the organization of the city central
committee and its control by one or the
other faction.
When this question is decided the
democrats of Gary viii know whether
the Crolius democrats, through the ap-
pointment Of John A. ODonnell, or the
Knots democrats. through the appoint
ment of p J. Finerty. will be able to !
claim the growing rooster as the en-

THE THIRD TERN.

The original cities and towns law
provided that a mayor should serve
but one term. In giving the mayor
greater power the legislature real
lied that there would be "A tempta-
tiOn TO use this power in the build
In of a personal machine. The leg
islature figured that IL a mayor had
no thought of perpetuation in office
he would give all his time and at
tentiOn to the business of the office.
But the Ofhceholders of the state
were not satisfied with the single
term provision of the law. COnse-
quently they urged the legislature.
at the last session, to make an ex-
ceptiOn in their cases and permit
reelection to office. The legislature
granted this special privilege. The
temporary change in the law was
made solely for the purpose of sat
tsfying few men in office who
wanted more. The third term is
unpopular and IL is un-Amerfcan.
