MOE MAY
YET Be A
CANDIDATE

That Ingwald Moe the Gary contrac-
tor will decide to runs><ar joint repre-
sentative on the republican ticket for
Lake and Newton counties is quite
probable. Mr.. Moe will decide in the
next day two whether or not he
will make the race.
Should he decide to be a candidate it
is quite probable that Atty. C. NJ
Renollett may withdraw from the
ticket although Mr.. Renollett has not
signified as yet that such are his in
tentions.
In the event of Mr.. Noes deciding to
be candidate however, it is thought
by his friends that Gary's chances of
securing the nomination will be a great
deal stronger as his name has Abeen
connected with the Office longer than
any one of the present candidates.
The call for the convention will be
made within a few days Lake county

FIGHT
PROBABLE IN
THE VILLAGE
West Hammond in a Tur-

count of Finneran Coup
Voters Write Names of
Favorites on Ballots.

Despite the political turmoil in West
Hammond owing to the fact that
primary candidates on the Citizens and
Peoples tickets failed to make their
returns FIVE days prior to the village
election thus giving the Independent
democrats headed by Martin Finneran
a clear field, Everything was outwardly
peaceful.
Not a bit Of trouble reported
Barney Johnson, chief of police today
when asked about the situation.
The polls closed at four o'clock this
afternoon. The West Hammond village
rail- was the only voting place in the
village. The Judges were Frank Green.
August zimmerman, and Constantine
woszcynski The clerks were Joseph
Goyke. John Muikowski and John
Peters.
1t was thought this noon that be-
tween six and seven hundred votes
would be cast at the election.
AS a result Of the failure of the can
didates on the citizens and peoples
lots, 1t is Understood that they were
advised tcnrite in the names of the
Candidates for whom they desired to
vote this morning.

day.. and 1t is expected that the vote
will be large. Martin Finneran said
this afternoon that he expects to see
the whole democratic ticket elected
without question.
If by chance one of the other tickets
should be elected the question will be
raised as to whether the secret Aus

Many Can't Write.
1t is also said that there are a large
number of the residents of West Ham
mond who cannot write in. the Eng
lish language. This makes it probable
that the Finneran ticket will be elected
after the polls are closed today.
From the camp of Charles Mayors
who is the leader of the opposition tc
Finneran, it is understood that the vot-
| ers have received instructions to write
out the name of the candidates fol
which they intend to vote and to spell

1t is not known whether this decis
