WHY soUANDERa

There are enough books known to
be interesting to make a waste Of
time through reading unnecessary.
Plays known to be good are in
most communities frequent enough
to make time spent at bad one an
absurdity.
Studies known to be useful are SO
plentiful that to consume an hour up
on any study merely for intellectual

there is no reason for associatine

LACK OF KNOWLEDGE SHOWN

The lack of knowledge of Lake
county politics as evidenced by arti-
cles in the Gary Evening Post is
palpable. Yesterday the Post print
ed story in which it stated that the
progressive" republicans of the
Tenth District were organizing to
fight Congressman E. D. Crumpacker.
The Post stated that in the absence
of a candidate of their own that they
would endorse John B. Peterson of
Crown Point for the office OF repre-
sentative and later the democrats
would nominate him.
Assuming that there is some oppo
sition to Judge Crumpacker one of
the most able men that ever repre-
sented an Indiana congressional dis
trict, and that there is a progressive
movement in the Tenth district 1t
would take too great stretch of the
imagination to see the progressive re-
publicans of the district endorsing a
reactionary democrat for representa-
tive
John B. Peterson is an able man,
an honest man and safe man but
his known conservatism, his work as
the attorney for a number of large
corporation and his known respect
for vested interests all make it ridi-
culous to even suggest that he would
be acceptable to progressive demo
1o+
cans.
The democrats will doubtless
nominate John B. Peterson for the
second time. The republicans have
packer. And the result is alread,
predestined.
Peterson will get the regular demo
cratic vote with the exception of ths
votes of several hundred democrat;
over the district who have the great
est of admiration and respect To-
Judge Crumpacker and make it ;
habit to split their ticket to vote TO
him. He will get the vote of few
republicans who are not progressive
SO much as they are soreheads.
Crumpacker will get the vote o
the great rank and file of his party
He will get large complimentary,
vote from the democrats who do no
believe in sending corporation attor
neys to congress and, with a large re
publican majority in this districi
since the district has been changed
there is no question of his election.
