Hammond will turn out democratic
majority of from five to seven hundred.
The democratic majority in Gary will
range from five hundred TO thousand
Whiting viii have a dem ocratic majori-
ty of two hundred and Indiana Harbor,
one hundred and fifty In East Chi
cago the republican majority will be
cut down to two hundred. We will
have our regular quota of democratic
votes in the south end of the county"
This was the pre- election statement
of John A. Gavit democratic county
chairman Should Peterson, Rohde, and
the democratic ticket go down in de-
feat tomorrow John Gavit will be one
of the most surprised men in the party.
He was confident this morning. His
action and demeanor indicated as much.
He is confident about John B. Peterson
but would make no prediction for him
over the district, In Lake County, he
will lead the ticket in Mr.. Gavits esti-
nation. John Rohde is the next best
bet from a democratic standpoint.
Rohde's friends figure him to carry
Hammond by a thousand votes.

was little doing this morning. The last
message to the party workers had been
delivered yesterday afternoon at big

DON'T FORGET THE
LITTLE BALLOT Tues.

Regardless of political affiliations
the Lake county voter should write a
yes" in the space at the bottom of
the ballot which enables him to vote
for the constitutional amendment,
which will raise the qualifications for
the practice of law.
Every reputable lawyer in Lake
county, in both political parties. is in
favor of this amendment. 1t simply
enables the state legislature to pass
a law stipulating the requirements for
the practice of law in this state.
on several other occasions this bal
lot has been a part of the regular bal
lot. but the Indifference of the people
has resulted in their ignoring it. The
politician who handled the foreign vote
only the thoughtful voter has taken
the trouble to express his opinion
about it.
This is in the nature of a referen-
dunn vote. and the people of Indiana
have not yet become accustomed to a
referendum on matters of public inter-
est.
In oregon and other states in the
Union, many as ten or fifteen ques-
tions have been or will be submitted
to the people on little ballots. The
question of raising the standards OF
eligibility for aspirants to admission
to the bar is the queation of interest in
Indiana and the voter is asked not to
lot.

The football team representing the

40-yard run for a touchdown.
South Bend failed to kick goal and

the firt half by South Bend as a re-
suit of a successful forward pass.
In the second half Hammond went

consistent gains. but played a great
defensive game. In spite of the fact
that the Hammond team was out

that Hammond could have kept the

in the second.
