HOW HAMMOND GROWS.

precincts may yet be increased 10 or
20 before the coming election. 1t is
expected that Lake county now has
more precincts than any county in the
state excepting Marion, Vanderberg and
Allen counties.
Republican politicians are trying to
figure out how it is that Gary with
half the population of Hammond has
four more delegates than Hammond
Gary explains 1t by saying that it has
a larger vote than Hammond.
One of the notable things about the
increase in the number of precincts is
the fact that the city of East Chicago,
which of course includes Indiana Har-
Dor. has 20 delegates, or just one less
than Hammond

REMARKABLE GROWTH SHOWN
IN NORTH END OF LAKE CO.

The marvellous growth of North and
Calumet townships in population is
shown by the new apportionment of
precincts which brings this county al
most up to the city of indianapolis in
the matter of its delegate strength.
The republicans of Lake county have
just divided the various precincts to
more nearly equalize the voting
strength in them and the result is as
tonishing
While Lake county had only So pre-
cincts last election il now has 1913 and
Indianapolis has only 113. Two years

He stated further that the business
district of Hammond has become so
congested that it will be necessary for
