| AS editor and prop of the Bing-
vile Bugle we have been thinking
seriously of running for the legis-
lature for several years back, and
the way we look at it there amt no
use in putting off this political pre-
ferment no longer-if we was to
put it off too long we might be too
old to run, or for that matter the
Grim Reaper might come along and
put a stop to our political am
bishions. who knows?
We have never asked for any
political laurels in the past and it
would seem that our constituents
owes it to us to send us at least
one term to the Legislature, simply
to show that they appreciate what
we have did for this congressional
district as editor and prop of the
Bingville Bugle. We have nodded
pubIick opinion in Bingville for 10
these many years, for the benefit
iof them as amt got no publick
opinion Of their own-we have
chronicled the births and marriages
and other soshial events faithfully
and without fear or favor-we
have set up column after column of
free notices for the church and have
put folks names into the Bugle
week after week, when there real
lily wasn't any necessity or excuse
for so doing, being as they didn't
do anything to deserve having their
names put into the paper-we have
even said nice things about certain
of our subscribers who have been
called hence, owing us anywhere
from Is to $25 on back subscrip-
shions, which we didn't get in this
world and don't expect to get in
the next.
The reason we have waited from
year to year without menshioning
our ambishions to go to the legis-
lature, is that we thort perhaps the
office would be thrust upon us.
However, we have come to the
conclusion if any thrusting is to be
did, we will have to did it ourself
If anybuddy has thrust any politi-
cal office at us, it has been when
we wasn't looking. 1t is said that
the office should seek the man in
stead of the man seeking the office.
The office hasn't seemed to seek
US any, so we have about made up
our mind that if there is any seek
ing done, we will have to seek it.
The chances is if we was to wait
for the office to seek US, it would
come after US when il was too late.

of Lacrosse: You granted three sepa-

that the company be allowed to charge

our plant equipment will be purchased
In duplicate. so that IL one machine
breaks down, or anything becomes the
matter with IL. we simply throw the
load over on the other one. and the
disabled machine can be repaired. In
ether words we will have plenty of re-
serve power, so that there will be no
trouble in way of shut-downs. All OF
the new machinery is going to be OF
the latest improved turbine character.
The plant is being built on the NTH
section Of the Calumet river and the
East Chicago canal, so that we will be
able to get water to supply the de-
mands, and this will probably be the
finest equipped electric plant in the
state of Indiana.
"A cut of this building is shown
in this paper. Also a cut of the largest
improved turbine generators which
will be used.
LAS l have said before. this will
probably be the finest equipped cleo
trio plant in the state of Indiana. and
by putting in this latest improved ma
chinery will enable us to furnish
electricity at a very low cost to fac
tories.
When it comes to q point of rates
with factories in order to get a fac
tory TO throw out its steam equipment,
a ne1ectric company will have to give
them a contract and assure them of
the best service, or what is known
uninterrupted service in order TO
cure the factory people as a consumer
of electric power so that the rates of
electricity for power unusually adjust
themselves. People have the steam as
a competitor against electricity.
Right here I want TO add that the

pany needs all the support of Ham
