The peaceful election proceeding in
west Hammond today is construed by
many of the thoughtful voters in the
city as a calm before the storm for to-
day rumors were afioat that some

gang manipulated from Chicago to
again thwart the wishes of the voters
by keeping the old village board in Of
fice another year despite the election
of new officers today
Just what steps IL any the gang in
tends taking remains TO be seen, but it
Is hardly thought that the victors will
