All of the merchants in the city, ex-

CALL WILL
Be ISSUED
TOMORROW

The democrats of Lake county are
beginning to bestir themselves in
for the county convention.
which is to be held in Gary on Aug.
81.
County Chairman John Gavit will is
sue the call for the convention tomor-
row, and it will be published in the
democratic papers of the county. 1t
is expected that from now on the in
terest in the coming campaign will
grow until by the 1st of September
there will be considerable activity in
politics.
SO far it seems that there will be a
dearth of candidates on the democrat
ic county ticket. The booms for the
various officers seem to be materializ-
ing slowly, and it may be a question
of having to draft some good demo-
Gratis to take places on the ticket.
With the democratic convention only
twenty days off, the rank and file of
the party do not have the slightest
idea of what the ticket is to be.
OF course, they are confident that the
leaders in Hammond and Gary will
have a slate all ready for their ap-
proval in time for the convention, but
they would like to know what it looks
like now.
The fact seems certain that a great
effort is to be- made to line up the city
of Gary for the democrats this fall. T
E. Knots has strong organization
there and the democrats are counting
on that to win the city for them.
That is why the county convention
was given TO Gary, and there will be
further evidences of this activity wher
some of the choicest places on th'
democratic county and legislative tick
ct will be given to Gary men.
