UNANIMOUS VOTE FOR GAvIT.
when the convention re-convened
this afternoon at 1 o'clock. the creden-
tials committee reported in favor of
seating Buskovich in the First pre-
c.nct of Gary, this having been the only
contest
Ed Simon. the outgoing chairman.
who was still presiding. allowed Brad
dock to have the floor. and he began to
outline long and spectacular attack
upon democratic methods in Gary, but
he was intercepted frequently because
his address was out of order and not
to the point in discussion. The report
was finally unanimously adopted.
John Gavit's selection as chairman
was made unanimous, and without an
opposing name having been presented
Mr.. Gavit made a short address and
Impressed his audience with his enthu
s5asm and sincerity. He expressed his
rSkndcst hope of a party victory I'M the
E8unty for this fall. His nomination
was made by John L. Rhode of Ham
mcnd. Mr.. Gavit's selection was fol-
lowed by the nomination of John l.
Rhode for vice chairman. his nomina

county.
NO ENDORSEMENT FOR MARSHALL.
The promised resolutions indorsing
Governor Marshall. which were held by
H. e. Keilman, a committeeman of
Gary, to be presented at the proper
time. were not offered. Mr.. Keiman
says that the meeting was adjourned
before. he could offer them, but there
seemed to be ample time to call the at

to adjourn was made by John l.
Rhode.
While the convention as a whole was
harmonious, and there were appar-
