LOOKED FOR
IN ELECTION

One of the noticeable things about
the election in Lake county is the light
vote in Gary 1t was reported at noon
today that there had not been more
than 100 votes cast in the steel city.
In view of the fact that the vote
two years ago was 2.200 and that the
people of Gary have been cIaiming 2
that between 5000 and 5000 votes
would be cast this year. makes the de-
velopment revelation.
The republicans have been afraid of
Gary all during the campaign and have
said that if they broke even in the new
steel city they would be satisfied The
light vote in Gary is therefore a good
omen for the republicans, for it is pre-
sumed that as many republicans will
take the trouble to vote as democrats.
1t is very noticeable fact that in
all of the republican cities the vote is
large. For instance, in East Chicago
and Indiana Harbor it is said that the
vote has been tremendous.
The republicans always carry these
cities by large majorities and the large
vote would indicate general republican
enthusiasm. The vote in Hammond
has been large, excepting in the Stand
ard district and one or two other pre-
cincts. Hammond is democratic in
municipal elections and republican on
national issues, and SO there is no sig
nificance in this fact.
The weather has been Of the real re
publican variety. 1t is republican
weather for the reason that the farm
ers. who are generally republican and
who are satisfied with high prices, nc
matter what the consumer may think
about it, will get out and vote for con-
tinued prosperity.
So with light vote in Gary, a heavy
vote in Indiana Harbor, a good vote il
Hammond, and a big vote in the small
towns and country districts the repub.
licans are very much encouraged over
the prospects.
County Chairman Richard Schaa
said today: Il feel satisfied with the
way things are going. l look to SEE
| every man on the county ticket elected
but there may be some losses on tn,
township ticket. The legislative tick
| ct in Lake and Porter counties is safe.
| The voting today developed the fac
| that a large number of tickets are be
| ing split this year than in any recen
| election This is made known by th'
| fact that the voter remains in the bootl
/ longer by far than he did when h
/ used to go in and . vote er stra ght
This shows greater Discrimination
| than ever before and may show up il
/ the result There is a great deal o
! talk in Hammond about the strengtl
/ that John L. Rhode is showing. Thi

is believed that Swanson will he elect

CASTLEMAn IS
DETHRONEO IN GARY
Condition of Gary Alderman
at Council Meeting Last
Night Was Pitiable.

A sensation was created last night in
the Gary common council when Alder
man Castleman sore because his fran
Gated and his power shorn, handed in
his resignation as councilman from the
fifth ward.
The council and the spectators were
taken by surprise when the old gray
wolf surrendered but his resignation
was tabled because the alderman was
sick from drinking too much lake
water and the republican aldermen did
not want to take advantage of him af-
ter his teeth were extracted. Castle
mans loss of power will probably mean
that there Will be no more letting of
contracts to one bidder. eliminating
other biders by legislative sandbags
and the introduction of notorious
franchises
The Seventh avenue franchise which
/ originally contemplated running a
street car line through the park was a
bad piece of business and Castleman
was much amazed when it was killed as
he had figured on its passage Only
one copy of this franchise was ever
drawn UP and none of the other alder
men ever saw it,
/ After Castleman was dethroned and
as he was leaving the council chambers
he threatened to show certain people
up and said that he would tell all he
knew about a $4,000 deal However
Mayor Knots checked his utterances
when he drew him into private room

LAD HURT
BY AUTO IS
STILL ALIVE

Charles Mathies, the II year old Toll
lesion boy who was crushed after be-
ing run down by an automobile driven
by Abe Moremont of East Chicago, last
Sunday. is still lying in Mercy hos
pita1 in a serious condition. The un-
fortunate lad suffered a compound
fracture of the hips. several broken
ribs and his internal injuries are such
that at this time it is difficult to de-
termine the outcome of his condition.
Moremont, the driver of the machine,
who drove on without stopping to pick
up his apparently Iifeless victim from,
the road, was placed under a $4,000
bond yesterday by Mayor Knots, and
his hearing was continued pending the
outcome of the condition of the boy.
