A WARM
CAMPAIGN
Former Chairman Goodrich
and ex- Senator Hemen-
way Will Get Into the Har-
ness and Speak During the
Campaign.
TIMES BUREAU,
AT STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis. Ind, August 4-If any
one has the idea that the Republican
campaign in this state is going to be a
lifeless affair he has another think
coming. And il he thinks that there is
any serious division among the Repub-
licans of Indiana when it comes to
working for the success of the Repub-
lican ticket from constable to United
States Senator he Is also mistaken, for
the leaders from all parts of the state
are making their arrangements thus
early for getting into the campaign and
doing their work just as they have
always done ii.
No better evidence of this fact is
needed than the call which has been
issued by State Chairman Lee for a con-
ference here next Friday OF the state
committee, the advisory committee,
the state candidates, the Congressional
candidates and a large number of the
party leaders who are not connected
with the orgnization as well as the
responses that are being received by
Lee from these men. This will probably
be the most important gathering of
Republican workers of Indiana in the
1910 campaign. for at this time definite

1t has just developed that a special
meeting of the West Hammond board
was held last Monday, at which Spe-
cial Assessment Attorney S. K. Mark
man, Vyillage Attorney Joseph Belinskf
and Village Engineer William Ewing
were notified that their salaries would
be cut in two.
They objected to the cut and re-
signed. Albert Marting of Chicago has
been employed to act as village attor-
ney and also as special assessment at
torney. 1t is understood that w. f.
Bridge is being favorably considered
for the office of, village engineer.
Today the village OF West Hammond
started on its new set of books. and
the work of opening the books was
begun by the Mahony jackson COM
pany, accountants.
Joseph Belinski. the former village
attorney, said today that the law al
lows the village attorney a salary and
the special assessment attorney 4 per
cent of the cost of the assessments.
He says the village board discov-
cred that it could get a man to act
as village attorney for $50 month
and as special assessment attorney for
2 per cent of the cost of the improve
ments. and as he would not take the
job at that figure the other man was
appointed.
However, the fact is generally appre-
ciated by the people of West Hammond
that the present village officers are
making an honest effort to save money
and put the village on good financial
basis.
With the saloon license $500 now it
is expected that the revenue to the
city will be greatly increased and that
new improvements can be made that
were not dreamed of before

BECKER MAKES QUEER ADMISSION

At last nights council meeting,
when the Columbia avenue bridge
matter was brought up by Alder
man Hover, that official got no
satisfaction. Instead, with puerile
sarcasm directed against THE
TIMES, Mayor Becker lodged the
issue and attempted to side step the
responsibility for the failure of the
city of Hammond to have the CO.
lumbia avenue bridge opened to
traffic. He claimed that the entire
matter is up to the county commits
sioners. He said that he himself
had signed a petition to have the
county council vote the improve
ment and by that statement Mr..
Becker nailed himself to the cross.
We will try to show you why.
