indianapolis. Ind. June while the
republicans are having their own
scrap at Chicago over the nomin alton
sight of that the democrats also have
a convention of their own coming off
at Baltimore this month. And it is Of
interest to Indiana because Governor
Marshall is said to be lining up dele
gates in other states besides Indiana,
who will vote for him after they have
cast their complimentary votes for
some other candidate on the first bal
lot
Friends of Governor Marshall insist
that he will not only get all of the
votes of Indiana. but they say that he
is certain to get not less than half of
the delegates from Kentucky. a goodly
number from Michigan, several from
Arizona. and that Alabama will be for
him after the delegates from that state
have cast their votes for Underwood
and have found he cannot be nominated.
They say, too, that Marshall is prac-
tically certain to get the majority OF
the votes of New York, whose delega-
tion is uninstructed. and that Marshall
will have not less than two hundred
woes on the second ballot.

County Commissioners Re-
ceive Legal Opinion as to
Basis on Which Registra-
tion Officials Are to Be
Paid.

Some question seems to have arisen
regarding the Interpretation OF the
new registration law in so far as con-
Germs the payment of the members OF
the registration board.
Accordingly w. A. DeHority, stat.
examiner and a member of the State
Board of Accounts of Indiana, has sub
mitted to the county auditor an opin-
ion given by Attorney General Honan
of Indiana regarding the amount that
should be paid members of the regis
tration board.
As result the vouchers will be is
sued by the county commissioners to
the inspectors in the 102 precincts of
Lake County today so that they can
get their money at once.
The following correspondence on the
matter Will be of interest to the peo-
pie of the county who have been trying
to estimate what will be the cost of
registration to Lake County:

NEW PLANT
TO HAVE |. H.
BELT TRACK

The first concrete evidence of ac-l
tivity on the part of the Northwestern
Iron company. following the buying
of 500 acres of land in the northern
part of Hammond near East Chicago.
is the purchase by George Hannauer
for the Indiana Harbor Belt railroad
of % acres of land 70 be used for a
connection with the plant and for stor-
age yards purposes.
The land is located at the northwest
ern corner of the site of the North
western Iron company and is in Sec
tion "a. just west of the new plant site.
The proposed new yards will accommo-
date ten tracks and viii have a capaci-
ty of 500 cars.
The land was purchased from
Charles Higley and the East Chicago
company. 1t is understood that the
purchase price of the land was in the
neighborhood of $1,000 an acre. Hig-
ley purchased his acreage from the
Pochman estate at recent court sale.
To Build mt Once
1t is expected that the Indiana Har-
Dor Belt railroad will get busy at once
with the work of constructing the
track. The railroad is being pushed in
this work by the Schlesinger inter
ests. which would like to get busy with
the building of their plant at once.
1t Is expected that the letting of the
contract for the fence around the new
plant will be the next evidence of ac-
tivity. The skeptfcs who have been de-
claring that the Northwestern Iron
company existed only in the minds of
few real estate men who desire TO
make money out of a manufactured
boom, Will now have hard time ex-
planning why the Indiana Harbor Belt
railroad wants to build a line into the
proposed new plant.

the entrance of the graduating class
The juniors led in this procession and
formed aisle leading to the stage
through which the 1912 class members
