LOOKS FOR
PROFIT FROM

Ralph Frazee, a collector for the
Hammond Loan company, is expecting
his ship to sail in soon carrying a car
go of ten or fifteen thousand dollars
it is immaterial which. To a fellow
on a salary one looks as big as the
other.
AS it happens Frazee mas waited ten
years for this ship of fortune Had
he not been expecting It all the time
he might have gotten busy and made
anoher ten thousand in he interim
T. NJ. Daniel, patent lawyer in Chi
cago, has a machine for manufacture
ing of straw furniture pads which is
the invention of Frazee. There is a
demand for such device at present
and Frazee stands a good chance of
making a cash sale, which will put
him on easy street.
The sad part of the story is that
Frazee's brother, Chester, who had a
half interest in the patent. was acci-
denly electrocuted in boiler at North

GENEROUS
IN VICTORY
East Chicago's Citizens Par
ty Leaders Take Eminent
ly Fair Attitude and De-
cline to Rob Republicans
of Their Representation.

Last night the common council of the
city of East Chicago elected a new list
of election inspectors. This was the
essential condition to the compromise
between the respective parties and was
the only condition that the parties
themselves could not I'LL. In tother
words. everything hinged upon this ac-
ton last night which no one with GER
tainty could predict The fact that it
went through without objection consti-
tuted the removal of the only barrier to
the complete fulfllment of the COM
promise which went through in detail
this morning.
What the Agreement Is.
The essential terms or the agreement
involve first. the appointment of the
election commissioners. Walter L.
Spencer, city clerk, is to appoint John
H. Ross. the regular progressive nomi-
nee, and William j. Murray. the regu~
lar democratic nominee.
The board of election commissioners
consists OF three men which, the stat
ute says, shall consist of the city clerk,
ex- -officio. and two appointees selected
from the two parties who registered
| the highest number of votes in the
preceding general election. And each
party is given the privilege through its
| chairman of nominating its individual
representative.
| Spencer Is Overruled.
1t was the refusal of Walter l.
Spencer to carry out the provisions OF
the statute that occasioned the filing
of three cases in the Lake superior
court The democrats had nominated
| their man and the progressives had
nominated their man, but because OF
the fact that this put two men on the
board that were favorable to the citi-
zens' party. Spencer refused to do his
duty.
| The very first consideration in the
conn promise proposition was thai
! Spencer should appoint the regular
nominees To this extent, the citizens

when approximately three thousand
applicants received their first papers
having been passed by about five hun

last night after having issued sixty
papers. the balance of a consignment
of seven hundred and went to Chicago
to in an effort to get more. A. tele-
gram has been sent to Washington TO
send more from the capital city at
once the end is not yet in sight.
Deputy u. 8. Clerk Charles Surprise

about six hundred more left The in
dications are that these too will be
all used up.
In the campaign of 1909 the party
organizations paid for the naturaliza-
tion of the thousands of foreigners
but the next legislature realizing that
such a practice was undemocratic and
un-American passed law under which
every voter would have to pay his own
that this would put check on the
practice of naturalizing men merely to
get their votes, but the present cam
paign shows otherwise.
