Is Being Rushed to
Completion.

The Federal Cement Tile Co is one of
Hammond's best industries. When the

that values are bound to rise there,
that the street is sure to be one of the

PRESIDENTIAL ELEcron
In Tenth Kentucky District Is
Roosevelt Man, It's said.

Washington. July Difficult
ties confronting the Presidential
Electors in the ultra-progressiye
states have been emphasized by
the report circulated in Kentucky
Republican circles today tina, the
Republican Presidential Elector In
the Tenth Kentucky District is a
pronounced Roosevelt man and will
vote for Colonel Roosevelt II he
enters the Electoral College.
The Tenth Kentucky District Is
overwhelmingly Republican. AT the
district convention. as a compromise
between the Taft and Roosevelt
forces, the ChAirmanship OF the
convention was given to a Taft
man. while one OF Colonel Roose-
velts supporters was named as
Elector.
At that time no such spirit as now
Gonfronts the party was anticipated
and IL was. OF course. presumed
that the EIector would 20 ahead. as
had always been the case. and vote
for the Taft candidacy. But with the
third party ticket in the field and
the Roosevelt forces using every eff
fort to pick off Electors. either by
states or individually, the situation
in the Tenth Kentucky District Is
similar TO that in Pennsylvania,
West virginia, Kansas and other
states.
When the attitude OF the Tenth
District Kentucky Elector finally Is
determined steps viii likely be TAX
en- by the Taft forces to straighten
out the muddle. so that the Presi-
dent will be insured OF the entire
Electoral vote OF Kentucky instead

Springfield Republican

Springfield Republican: The
contrast between Marshall and Sher.
man speaks for itself. Sherman is
universally recognized as a load
which NJ. Taft. already overburden-
ed, must carry. Gov. Marshall. on
the other hand, brings to Gov. Will
son the added strength of his own
popularity in Indiana. an important
State which Mr.. Taft carried by
only narrow margin four years
ago, which is now represented by
two Democratic Senators, and which
should without further question be
counted in the Democratic column
as a result of putting Gov, Marshall
on the ticket.
