THE FUN SOON TO BEGIN.

According to all indications, Ham
mond democrats are preparing for
two very interesting processes. One
of them is the washing of the politi-
cal linen, and the other Is the wet
ting of knives for the pie cutting.
There is no longer any denial OF the
fact that the local field is divided into
two camps, Beckerites, and anti
Beckerites. If Judge Lawrence
Becker, former mayor of Hammond
has any strength at all in the party
1t will be put to the test within the
next few months. The post office ap-
pointment and the mayora1ty NOM
ination will be the bones Of conten-
factional fight in the party as exclu-
sively told in this paper have been a
source of intense interest to poll
ticians.
John l.. Rhode, president of the
board of public works and intimate
political colleague of Judge Becker,
was generally conceded to have first
choice for either honor, but now
there comes report that Judge
Becker will be unable to dictate the
appointment of Rohde for the post
mastership, and at the same time
names are bobbing up for the mayor
atty nomination which have as yet
not had the sanction of Judge Becker
and SO the conclusion is that the
former mayor instead Of playing the
first fiddle will have to dance to the
music that is furnished him. The
story of how he came to lose his fiddle
is of absorbing interest.
AS told by THE TIMES severa
weeks ago somebody sometime agt
threw Attorney John A. Gavit's ha
in the ring for the mayoralty Mayo
Smalley's has been in all the time
and 1t is still there. But those wh'
threw Gavit's chapeau in the circle
were careful to kick Rohde's out, an,
there you are.
Even the anti-Beckerites admi

against him is that he has been cal
