COL. CLIFFORD
ROAD NEARS
COUNTY SEAT

Morocco, nd, Oct. 2s.-Colonel Gif-
ford. owner OF a big ranch In northern
Jasper county and who for the last few
years has been engaged in building q
railroad with his own money, has ex-
tended his line northward materially in
the last three months and will reach
Crown Point, 1t is said, by Jan. l. From
Crown Point the road Will be built to
Indiana Harbor, Hammond or Gary.
The road is known as the Chicago &
Wabash Valley and at the present time
is perhaps sixty to seventy miles in
length. Colonel Clifford is probably the
only man in Indiana who has built a
railroad with his own money.
Indications for an electric railway
through Rensselaer, are, 1t Is said.
quite promising. The Indiana North
western Traction company is back OF
the proposed enterprise and the city
council will consider the matter of
granting the franchise at It's next
meeting, Oct 30. It is said the road
will be built through to Monticello
Logansport, Remington and Rensse-
laer and from the latter point viii
parallel the Monon to Chicago.

CROL|US
STARTS NEW
BATTLE

This afternoon Special Judge Har-
old Wheeler Of Crown Point, sitting ns
special Judge to try the mnndamus
proceedings that have been started by
Attorney Joseph COnrOy, representing
William C. CrOIius, issued an aIterna-
tive WRIT to compel the board of cleo
tiOn commissioners to appear at 1880
tomorrow morning and show cause why
they should not put the CrolIus ticket
under the emblem Of the growing rOOst-
er.
Attorney ConrOy also fled an amend
ed and supplementary complaint en-
joining the election commissioners
the democratic embIem-the growing
rooster.
This revealed the plans of the CrOI-
kus men for the future and brings the
new elements into the situation that 1t
wns expected would be brought In when
Judge Virgil $. Relter rendered his re-
cent decision awarding the verdict in
the last nandamUs suit to It. e. Knots,
although the evidence showed that
CroIius fs the leader of the democratic
party in Gary.
William c. Crolius is again court
lighting for the growing rooster, the
emblem OF the democratic party which
the election commissioners had already
taken away from him and given to
Thomas l.. Knots. through the kind
efforts of Clerk c. o. Holmes.
Another mandatory injunction was
filed yesterday afternoon by Crolius
this time mandating the election com
missioners to give him the democratic
emblem. instead OF mandating Clerk
Holmes to give them the commissioned
as they did before.
Attorney Harold Wheeler of Crown
Point will be selected as special judge
to try the case, which will begin this
afternoon at 1880 in the superior court
room at Hammond. This special judge
was satisfactory to both parties.
The question Of whether or not the
evidence in the other mandatory case
can be used in this one or not, will de-
termine how soon this case can be de.
cided The lawyers were arguing vari-
Gus matters before Judge Reiter of the
superior court at s o'clock last night
1t may be possible that the Knott:
bunch and the Gary Tribune crowe(
too soon over the rooster after all.

Every Schaaf man in Hammond is
looking forward to the big rally which
IS to be held in Towle's opera house
at $50 Monday evening. This meet
ing will be the climax to one Of the
most exciting campaigns that has ever
been held In Hammond.
-he speakers Will be. cooked and
primed for the occasion and the meet
ing should be an exceedingly interest
ing one. While it was thought at first
that it would be advisable to reserve
some Of the seats this idea has been
abandoned, and any one and every one
who desires to attend the meeting will
have the opportunity until the house
is filed
schnaf VIII Make RousinE Speech.
Richard Schaaf viii make speech
and will have some things to say that
will be Of great interest to the voter
and the taxpayer. There Will be other
speakers who viii go over the issues of
the campaign and viii unsparingly at
tack the methods of the present admin
istration.
Great preparations are being made
for this meeting, and there Will be en-
tertaiument and instruction for all who
attend. The meeting IN fact will be
the final word of the Schaaf men to
the people Of Hammond and will wind
up a campaign that has been unparal-
4 I'd in the history Of the city
<sl<she confidence of the Schaaf forces
Is Increased by a positive knowledge
that the Becker crowd realizes that
the jig Is practically up. Since sun
day the trend OF public sentiment in
Schaaf's favor has been so strong that
nothing can stop it.
The Psychological crisis has passed.
and 1t is believed that from now on
schaaf viii gain in strength until 1t
viii be a matter only Of the majority.
The people are with Schaaf and the
Becker crowd know it. That IS why
they have dropped their arguments and
have begun vituperation and abuse.
These things have made the republic
can forces buoyant It's effect will be
seen at the meeting Monday night.
schaaf has a loyal lot OF supporters
and they are going the limit for him.
That is why the tide has turned. That
is why Schaaf feels practically sure of
election Tuesday.

in the campaign, and if he spoke
at public meeting as Becker did
last night, introduced by man
practically stranger in the city,
instead of one Of the respected
party war horses, and if instead of
answering logically, questions Of
vital Importance to the taxpayers
of the city, he spent most of his
time in villifying newspaper and
its employees, not issues in the cam

SURE, THEY
THINK 1T PROPER.

In working for the reelection
of Becker, so that he can have
thirteen years in public Office,
Messrs. W. C. Belman, W. H.
Gostlin and J. N. Beokman, be-
lieve that it is proper for Becker
to owe $1,000 to public utility
franchise promoter, c. W. Hotch-
kiss, of the Indiana & Chicago
Traction company; that it is
proper for the er-Tapper
Realty company to buy thousands
of dollars worth of Hammond mu-
nicipal bonds; that the Ahlborn
Construction company should get
the lions share of the city con-
tracts, and that the Becker Gin
terests" should run things to suit
themselves and not the taxpayers.

GAN BEER BUY THEM?

Sixteen cases Of beer and several
rounds OF cigars were figured by Mayor
Becker to be effective vote getters
among the members Of the Tesmsters'
union. and having figured 1t out that
the teamsters viii give their vote for
beer and cigars. he provided the same
for the smoker which was given at
Roth's hall last evening. Whether an
intelligent class of people like the
Hammond teamsters can be bought with
beer and cigars VIII be shown next

be thrown out of the court there on
the plea that Lake county and not Por-

that there are $4,000 feet in Lake coun-

CAMPAIGN
JOKE IS
Lack of Representative
Democrats to Act as
Chairman for Becker
Meeting, Ring Springs a
Dark Horse.

Lawrence Becker, candidate foY
mayor of Hammond on the interests"
ticket, and C. l. Allnut, yardmaster at
the Erie, emitted few bubbles before
a large crowd of people at Towles'
opera house last night. For some rea-
son or other it was impossible to gee
one of the old-time democrats to pre-
side over the meeting and Mr.. Allnut a /
newcomer in Hammond whom nobody
knew, was drafted to introduce the lin
terests" candidate. Mr. AIlnut (from
the best information obtsinabIe that
is his correct name) is evidently a
great vote getter.
What AIHnut said.
Mr.. AIlnut said that a newspaper
which would mention the fact that a
candidate for mayor had a saddle
horse would not hesitate TO resort to-
horse stealing. and advised Becker to
keep his stable locked or THE TIMES
would steal it.
Another logical argument that made
Mr Becker hundreds OF votes was ut
tered by Mr. Allnut when he said:
'swho ever heard of Richard schnaf
being connected with anything that
was clean."
Shortly after this Mr.. Allnut, we be-
Then He Arose.
Then the great political boss and
servant Of the interests got up to
speak The most OF his speech dealt
with THE TIMES. He made it an issue
/ in the campaign. Among the things
he said were:
The railroads are violating the or
dinances. Suppose the mayor was 70
enforce them. 1t would not be long
until he would be on the payroll OF
the Pennsylvania or New York Central
as attorney"
! The true political boss makes peo-
| pie come and do his bidding, do busi-
! ness where he dictates"
| The control of private business is
! the great thing IN American politics,
and is the theory upon which political
/ bossism is based"
Il am proud to be connected with
Mr.. Hotchkiss and to know that he
thinks well Of me. -dr. Hotchkiss put
me on the list of incorporators for
/ little bank he started at Calumet or
East Chicago"
| No contractor has ever made
| kick that he did not receive fair treat
ment or that the lowest bidder did not
receive fair treatment. There is ab-
solute confidence among the bidders Of
this city that the lowest would get the
work"
Eaton sublet the contract he got
to Lavene. We borrowed the money
and took the bonds. They are not
municipal bonds. They are special as
sessment bonds. based upon the lien
! upon our property
There was much more among these
lines, and then Mr.. Becker also ad-'
journed.
But what did the taxpayers think?
They will tell you Tuesday.
