DEMOCRATS IN GARY
HAVE PEACEFUL MEET
Crolius Adherents Did Not
Attempt to Start
Anything.

The meeting of the Gary democrats
held in Rogers hall Friday night for
the purpose of electing delegates to
the district convention to be held in
Hammond Wednesday night was most
harmonious owing to the fact that the
Crolius contingency which was present
did not attempt to start" anything
and voted with the other side The
following delegates and alternates
were selected:
Delegates; Thomas e. Knots, M N
Castleman, T. E. Englehart
The Gary democrats plan to invade
Hammond with two car loads of the
followers of the rooster If their pres
ent plans are perfected. A resolution
was passed that it be the sense of the
meeting that two cars on the Gary and
Western line be chartered and run to
Hammond the 11:19 train and that
every democrat in the city who de-
sfres shall accompany the delegates
These spectators in the political arena
have been assured of seats in the con-
ventfon hall. Already badges have
been ordered printed bearing the in
scription Gary Democracy" which tbe
Gary delegation will wear to Ham
mond
As far as is known the delegates
have not been pledged openly or secret
" to any candidate. "A prominent
democrat said today that they would
support the best man whoever he
might be. In any event it is assured
that Edward Simon will not receive
the support of the Gary men with the
Knots contingency in control.
At Tolleston, the town of tie votes
Edward Behnke and Walter Gibson
tied for election to the delegacv of the
township at-large. A coin was thrown
up to decide the winner and the lucky
man was Behnke. Gibson was then
made the alternate. There is a possi
bility that Behnse may vote for Simon
yet this has not yet been assured.
