PUMP WAS
ORDERED YEAR
AGO NOW

The big pump at the Hammond pump
ing station was started last Saturday
afternoon and ran for several hours
1t was started again on Sunday and 1t
will be run few hours every day un-
til certain adjustments are made and
the pump is finally painted
Joe Kasper. one of the engineers al
the pumping station. said he thought
the new pump would give Hammond
much better pressure than it has had in
the past.
He said that the new pump would be
able to do the work much more effect
lively because it is larger, and it will
force a steadier stream through the
mains.
1t has been over a year since the
pump was ordered and there has been
considerable delay in getting into into
working order. Kasper said he thought
the mains would be able TO stand the
increased pressure.

KNOTS USED THE OLD

Gary's Premier Politician Trouble With His Ma
chine Saturday; How the Deed Was Done; Roller
Works in Nifty Fashion at Convention, But at Elec-
tion 1t Runs Out of Gas.

With his solid voting delegation of
IS. which comprised the biggest single
unit of the 127 delegates, King Tom
Knots, mayor of Gary. by means of his
voting machine, some quick ante-elec-
tion deals and a lot of bluffs that stuck,
managed to run the steam roller all
over the old guard of the Crown Point
and Hammond democracy at the Lake
county convention at Garden hall in
Gary Saturday afternoon.
Knots Steam Roller Merciless.
Judge Lawrence Becker. the recog-
nized leader of the Hammond democra-
cy. Judge Johannes Kopelke of the
Crown Point stalwarts, and John L
Rohde OF Hammond. usually a fighter of
the hundred-claw variety, but this time
a tame lamb. were rolled over by the
Knots machine.
Not because he loves Ed Simon. for
mer county chairman. but because he
wanted to effect an alliance that would
serve to relegate Judge Becker to
minor position. did Knots permit the
Gary and allied township strength to
fall to Simon in his quest for the audi
torship nomination. Knots had few
days before served notice that he would
not stand for Simon. but he found that
an alliance with him would break up
the Becker influence and he was quick
TO use IT. How well this worked may
be seen from the fact that Simon de-
feated John L. Rohde. who was nomi-
mated by Judge Becker, by a vote of
81 to 90. Later when Judge Becker pit
ted Jim frost OF Hammond against
Martin Gill. the favorite of the Gary
contingent. Gilrs victory was even
greater. and once more the former
Hammond mayor was sat down upon.

Crown Point democrats headed by
Judge Kopelke came to the convention
with the intention of making their es-
teemed leader the permanent chairman.
He was put up against Mayor Knots
and when the balloting was over there
were six more ballots than there were
