TALK Of A
CONTEST IN
W.HAMM0NO
Color of Ballots Is the Issue
on Which "Soreheads"
Are Said to Plan the Over
throw of Tuesdays Pri-
mary Vote.


West Hammunds political troubles
are apparently far from being settled
despite the overwhelming vote cast for
good government in the primaries on
Tuesday.
The color of the ballots used is now
raised as an issue on which, 1t is said
an attempt will be made 10 contest the
election 1t appears that the Illinois
election laws provide that the names
of each party's candidates shall be
printed separate ballots, which is
different in color from the other party
tickets. In the West Hammond pri-
maries of last Tuesday there were two
parties In the aeld the peoples and
the citizens parties. All the candi-
dates with the exception of four were
on the peoples party ticket. and the
four who were on the citizens ticket
had no opposition for the various Of
fees for which they sought the nom
ination. Both the people and citizens
party ballots were printed white pa
per in the primaries of last Tuesday.
There was no confusion among the
voters on this score.
