save themselves much time and delay
if they would take the precaution of
bringing their old tax receipts with

DEMOCRATS To MEET
At GARY MAY %

gathered in Hammond today in the
Jefferson club rooms to confer with
County Chairman John A Gavit about
the impending campaign.
The most important matter to come
before the assembly was the fixing of
the date for the nominating conven
ton. Mr.. Gavit was OF the opinion
this morning that the committeeman
would arrive at some conclusion on
this question today.
Another matter of much Importance
TO Gary was the re-appointment of the
delegate strength According to the
apportionment fixed by the state CEN
tra1 committee for the state conven-
tion. the delegate strength was fixed
according to the democratic vote in
1908, and while this was representative
of the practically all the democratic
vote in Lake county II is not in ar-
cordance with the strength that Gary
has today owing to its rapid growth
To rectify this particularly because
only local issues are involved in the
nominating convention, the precinct
committeeman will fix the delegate
strength according to the democratic
vote of 1910.

With Mrs. Allison and her husband

but as the last boat pushed off from
the Titanic, Mrs Allison forced her
sister, Miss Sadie Daniels. to take her
Z months son, Wilbur. and escape
Miss Daniels. although stunned by the
terrible sights she had witnessed, was
able to tell connectedly, even graphi-
cally, the story of the devotion of Mrs
Allison to her husband.
Here is the story as she told it I,
Mrs. Gross.

husband, when the officers refused te
let both into the lifeboa+ She said
