What w. II. Blodgett
Has Found Out
About the Situation.

indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 29.-The
common belief about the district is
that the machine has made Mr. Pet
erson believe the fight is really
against him and not against Murphy
and for that reason he became act
i've Nothing is farther from the
truth There is no fight against the
denomination of Mr.. Peterson. When
Tom Taggart telephoned to Tom
Knots at Gary and told him to "get
right" for Murphy. Mr. Knots re-
piled that he was working for the
best interests of the democrats of
the district and for the best inter-
ests of Peterson in opposing the
election of Murphy for district
chairman
Tippecanoe county elected Mr..
Peterson. The democratic candidate
for congress, Mr.. Peterson, carried
Benton county by 2S6, Newton coun-
ty by 4, white county by 410. He
lost Jasper county by 81, Lake coun-
ty by SO, Porter by 246 and Warren
by 596. Thus he was defeated by
sc votes when Tippecanoe county
came in with a plurality of 1.043 and
elected him. 1t was the Woodrow
Wilson William Jennings. Bryan
democrats of Tippecanoe- county
who elected Mr.. Peterson and they
are the ones who are fighting
Charles j. Murphy for district chair
man, and they are lighting him be-
cause he is not a loyal democrat and
has the backing of the special inter-
ests in his race.
There is a feeling of considerable
resentment against Congressman
Peterson in the district for the
stand he took in the district chair
man fight His right to a personal
choice is not denied but the demo-
Gratis feel that he went just a little
too far when he wrote letters to
his appointees to postoffices and to
those who are after appointments
to get out and hustle for Murphy.
Those are not the exact words that
Mr.. Peterson used, but he lined up
the postmasters and would-be post
masters in every county IN the dis
trict for Murphy. Now there seems
to be a feeling in the district that
the postmasters should elect Mr..
Peterson to a second term, il they

AS TO THAT
NEW YEAR
CELEBRATION

"As the last course for New
Years eve dinners. banquets, sup
pers and early breakfasts 1 would
recommend a heaping spoonful of
EPSON salts."-Dr. William D.
Weis. secretary Of the Hammond
board of health.
If you must indulge your appetite
on New Years eve, and you probably
feel that you rnust, take the advice of
DIR. Wells of Hammond.
Skeletonized. the points of the ply
sicians counsel are as below;
1. Don't do 1t. Go to bed.
q IF you can't be good be careful.
After you have eaten your fill and
feel all puffed up like a jellyfsh be-
ware the early morning air. Doe says
so. There are pneumonia germs and
all kinds of plain and fancy microbes
lurking in the atmosphere and they
will find fertile soil in your lungs. DR..
weis explains that the white cor
puscles of the body. which are the
fighters, are mostly all engaged In d.
gestion, and that there is little to re-
sist germs. That is to say, that the
vitality of the body is at lowest ebb.
Wear Muffcr and Overshoes.
DR.. Weis compares the white cor
puscles of the body to an army and he
says that army is no stronger than
its weakest point. When the powers
of resistance are the weakest we
should be careful. Wear your warm
est wraps, wrap a muffier around your
neck, put a pair of overshoes and
then hurry straight home." he warns.
The doctor doesn't say anthing about
going home straight Maybe what he
did say has double meaning.

ana Harbor and Whiting will observe
New Years eve in the usual watch

year, however, the foreign element is
planning to celebrate. That means a

DEMOCRATS HOLD
THEIR CONVENTION
Knots Delegates to District Conven-
tion Unseated. Durgan Decides
To Be Good.

Charles Murphy Of Brookston was
unanimously reelected democratic
chairman at the Tenth district con-
vention which was held in Hammond
this forenoon.
BY the time the convention had
been convened at ten o'clock this
morning, all opposition to him had
faded away Mayor Tom Kntts and
his eight contesting delegates were
not recognized by the convention,
the report of the committee having
been five to two on this point.
ONLY ON SURFACE.
On the surface apparently there was
harmony. and the leaders in the party
had not worked In vain until late in
the night, to erase all opposition to

strongest fight against Murphy II

commission should not seek the office

Congressman Peterson addressed the
convention for an hour while the COM
mittees on organization, credentials
and resolutions were preparing their
reports.
NO SURPRISE SHOWN.
The convention developed no sur
prises. The opposition to Murphy
from Tippecanoe county led by Mayor
Durgan of Lafayette and the contest
between the two Gary delegations
was the only thing to add any interest
to the convention.
Congressman Peterson gave his
audience a good campaign speech In
which he dwelt on the ten months rec
ord of the party for passing the
tariff and the currency bill. He went
into the workings of the latter to
some extent and all together spoke

adopted. The fact that the district as
it now stands consists of five counties
and that 1t is the only district of that
magnitude in the state which has but
one Judge Is used as argument which
it is thought will bring about the final
passage Of the bill.
Prior to the creation Of the new
counties Of Clearwates and Lewis the
district embraced the same territory
as now and although the question of
division and a new district was con
sdered at times the court officers have
maintained that the work was not too
heavy. But with the organization of
the two new counties and the necessary
increase of court business the creation
of the new district is the only logical
course. according to the supporters of
the move. who anticipate that the bill
will meet with no strenuous opposition
