LOWELL COMES
UP FOR DEFEAT

A squad of Lowell pin men proved
easy picking for the Hammond maple
artists at Cox's alleys last night when

the Lowell squad a look-in at any pc

GARY CASE ON TRIAL.


There was no business today in the
superior court, although Judge Tuthill
was busy with a Porter superior court
case which was unfinished when he ad-
journed court at Valparaiso last Fri
day. The suit is a big land case from
Lake county. in which considerable
Gary property figures. The suit was
brought on mechanics lien by the Cal
umet Supply company against Thomas
Galik. Twelve liens are involved and
quite an array of legal talent IS en-
gagged in the suit. included in the num-
Der being Attorney Dan f. Kelly of
Valparaiso.
One of the pieces CT property igur-
ing in the suit is a saloon building at
Broadway and Eleventh avenue, Gary.
1t seems that Mrs. Galik secured pos
session of the lot in question, erected a
building thereon and cleared up a for
tune Later through an alleged error
or mix-up, the numbers of lots were
changed and this particular lot was
sold to the Calumet company. The I'll
tie of the lot, on which an expensive
building stands, is now being gone over

PEOPLE DESERT TOWN AS
LEVEES BREAK

LEVEEsS BREAK
Baton Rouge, la, May A.
The town of Moreauville is de-
serted today, save for two city
officials and two telegraph opera
tors.
The break in the levees theer is
now II miles long, extending
from VOORHEES, to the property of
the Long Bridge Oil Company.
And the water still is pouring
through. 1
The size of the break makes it
very possible that the river will
change its course for 40 miles. /.
The citizens of .Pfanchville ex-
pect that town to be flooded at
any moment. They are deserving
their homes.
Half of the Iberville parish,
the richest sugar section in the
state, is under water from the
break at Torras. Plantation
after plantation has been flooded,
andt he wealthy planters of yes
terday, are the paupers of today.
The legislature, which is now
in session, is expected to reduce
the taxes to nominal sum in the
2T parishes which have suffered
from the flood. This will in
c1ude lands valued at $60000,00o.

WILSON, MARSHALL AND Tall
BOTT CLUB.

This Club is now in full organiza
ton, and is actively engaged in pro-
noting the purposes for which it was
formed 1t deserves the cooperation
and support of all Democrats, and
also all Republicans who want to get
ON the right track this fall.
The Club had a rousing meeting on
Tuesday evening last, at the Opera
House. Senator Carville ID. Benson,
of Baltimore county, who had accept
ed an invitation from the Club, was
present and made an admirable
speech. The singing by the young
men was an attractive feature of the
meeting, and the enthusiasm mani
tested reminded one Of the unique
and wonderful Club of four years ago.
1t is hopeful thing to see young
men taking an interest in clean poll
tics. We have come upon time, and
every good citizen ought to feel
thankful for it, when public senti-
ment will not tolerate corrupt poll
tics. And why should it ever have
tolerated it Almost every man in
the community will demand honesty
and clean methods in business and in
social life, and it Is amazing that
there ever should have been, i'm the
view of any man, different standard
for politics. But it was so, and we
are now just emerging from this I'M
wholesome condition. Many of the
states, including our own, have pass
ed Corrupt Practices laws, which lay
heavy penalties upon the corrupt use
of money at our elections. Full pub
licity of campaign expenses Is now
required, and this is a most salutary
strains corruption as certainly as
publicity. You can head off the cor
rupt politician when you bring him
into the lime light and let the COM
munity see what sort of creature he
liz.
Under enlightened public senti-
ment, political methods are brought
more and more under the eye of the
public, and the people are getting
to know more about the conduct of
the government This il a healthy
condition and is what the Democratic
party stands for in this campaign.
Woodrow Wilson, our candidate for
the Presidency, is a true disciple of
Thomas Jefferson, and as such is urg-
ing the people everywhere to rise up
and assert themselves i'm the manage
ment of the affairs of the government.
Weare glad toknoW that thereare 90
many young men connected with the
Wilson, Marshall and Talbot Club,
and we are sure their presence will
exert a healthy influence. Young
men ought to take an interest in poll
tics. The government will soon be
i'm the hands of those who are now
young men.
They should look upon the Elective
Franchise as d valuable privilege
and an important trust, and should
see to it, that it is never debauched.
We believe our country is starting
upon q new era of clean politics, and
we want to see our young men iden-
tifT' themselves with this movement.

necessary for railroad construction
and equipment, all of which is taken
into the estimate in fixing the freight
charges of the carrier, they make
more costly the transportation Of his
products to market.
They have ostracized the American
laborer, and filled their mills and fac
tories with foreigners; by evasion
and subterfuge they have rendered
nugatory the contract labor law, and
thrown wide open the doors for the
importation of cheap labor, and clos
Cd them tight against the importation
of cheap clothing and cheap food.
4 BY monopolies they have destroyed
competition SO as to control prices,
until in a land of plenty, restitution
is knocking at the door Of every poor
mans hamlet in the land.
by combination of industries they
have prevented their diversity, so as
to curtail opportunity for employ
ment, and make dark the future for
the struggling young men of our
country.
The avenues of political preferment
are SO controlled and guarded by
them, that intellectual endowments
are ignored, while servility to their
wishes is made the paramount quail
fcation.
| They have caused national legisla-
ton to be bought and sold commodity
like, and money that was made by
legislation has been used to control
| legislation.
They have SO debauched the cleo
torate in every state in the Union
that the highest law making body in
the country is reproachfully styled
"the millionaire's, club"
By the misuse of the vast wealth
which they control they have succeed
ed, in numerous instances, in cor
rupting the legislative and executive
branches OF our government to such
an extent that relief through those
channels Ii altogether hopeless.
In this exigency we appeal to the
people, who under our form of gov
eminent are supreme, and the source
of all power, and ask them to aid, by
contributions Of money, either in
large or small amounts, in the cleo
ton OF Wilson and Marshall and a
Democratic Congress, who will rescue
them from the evils that beset them,
and also threaten the life of the Re-
public.
AS has been wisely stated by Sena-
tor Lee, in circular letter,
Governor Wilson is the peoples
candidate and the people should
pay the expenses of his campaign.
The interests will not do twill
son is not their candidate-and they
will not be permitted to do it,
Never before in the history of
American politics has am appeal for
funds been made exclusive.
Ivy to the people. heretofore corpora
tons and the "interests" have been
the principal contributors to Presi-
Dental campaigns, and they owned
the candidate after he was elected;
now Let the people finance this one,

dency ONE who will be under mo obi
cations to any interest but their own.
