CRUMPACKER'S NOMINATION.

Congressman E. D. Crumpacker,
the Tenth Districts Industrious, re-
spected and astute representative at
the seat of government in Washington
and the only republican congressman
in the state of Indiana was again
nominated in the Hammond conven-
ton yesterday for two more years,
service to his constituents. Despite
the overshadowing Importance of the
Taft-Roosevelt tilt for national dele
gates the denomination of Congress
man Crumpacker was far more signifi-
cant to the Tenth district for there
is little doubt but what Mr. Crum-
packer will be returned to Washing
ton. The services he has performed
for the Calumet region may not be
hastily enumerated. He is the man
the region needs at Washington, be-
cause he Is constructive force in
legislation. The Calumet district
cannot afford to have any green horns
in congress just now. Mr.. Crum-
pack and the Tenth district can ex-
change mutual congratulations that
they have each other

PARDON US, GOVERNOR.

But by what stretch of your execu-
tive authority do you find youself
warranted in extending that elongat-
ed arm of yours all of the way to tho
cells of the Lake County jail for the
purpose of extricating a petty wrong
doer such as blind pig operator?
And governor, THE PEOPLE
WANT TO KNOW HOW YOU GOT
INTO THIS PROPOSITION ANY
WAY? Jap" Hull was not railroad
ed to Jail, he was not the victim of a
spasmodic crusade. He pleaded
guilty to the charge of engaging in
the illicit traffic in intoxicants. No
questions of guilt or innocence were
involved. We can understand how
you can save the neck of a black
hearted murderer but this is a little
too much.
Under the law the minimum fine
|should have been $50 and the
minimum sentence 80 days in Jail. It
was the object of the legislature in
imposing jail sentence to prevent
the custom of licensing blind-piggers
by the periodical imposition of fines.
Lake County has spent Thousands
of dollars in an effort to convict the
Gary blind pig operators whom Mayor
! Knots released with only a fine and
no jail sentence. 1t spent this money
on the theory that a greater respect
for the law must be inculcated in the
minds of the people. And then the
law abiding saloonkeeper who paid
his saloon license needed protection
from the illegitimate dealer

THE DISTRICT CONVENTION.

In view. of the present turmoil in
Indiana republican politics, the work
of the Tenth district convention in
Hammond yesterday is remarkable.
The Roosevelt men following instruc-
lions from the throne came to Ham
mond full of ginger prepared to
carry on a fight that would have be-
come memorable. There was never a
rough word spoken at the convention
1t was one of the largest-attended
ever held in the Tenth district. In
fact it was only equalled by the
famous Hanly-Crumpacker conven-
ton held long over a decade ago
There never was a convention held
at which better feeling was displayed
There was a reason for this. It
was the determination OF the Taft
men to be guilty of no word nor deed
that would cause the Roosevelt ad-
mirers and supporters to take
lumbrage. They carried out this pro-
gram to the letter. A committee was
appointed at caucus to carry the
olive branch to the Roosevelt men.
The overture swept them off their
feet. They were amazed. I'VE did
not expect such consideration" said
Mr.. Bauer OF Lafayette when offered
lpro-rata representation on the three
committees.

FOLKS PAST FIFTY
MUST use CASCARETS

Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help. else they
suffer from constipation. The condi-
tion is perfectly natural. 1t Is just
as natural as 1t is for old people to
walk slowly. For age is never so
active as youth. The muscles are less
elastic And the bowels are muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets. One
might as well refuse TO aid weak eyes
with glasses as TO neglect this gentle
aid to weak bowels. The bowels must
be kept active. This is important at
all ages but never so much as at nifty
Age is not time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the
bowels into activity. But lash can't
be- used every day. What the bowels
of the old need is a gentle and natural
tonic. One that can be constantly used
without harm. The only such tonic is
Cascarets and they cost only 10 cents
per box at any drug store. They work

He who says the republican party
