POLITICS
WILL HUM
NOW ON

From now until November 4th-elec-
ton day-things viii he humming poll
ticaliy. A whirl wind campaign is in
sight. Last week the city was a
placid home of voters. This week it is
a big political camp in which leaders
are marshalling their forces The ac-
tivity of the republican party has
changed the whole situation. The nom
ination of Peter Crumpacker as the
head of the republican ticket means an
aggressive fight. fact which the dem
ocrats realize and admit.
They know the republicans have
terminated a man whose ability is SO
well recognized that even blind parti-
sanship would not deny 1t. and that
he STANDS on a plato which appeals
to every Taxpayer. Resourcetulness, a
Crumpacker attribute, is a complement
to ability. but unfortunately for the
democrats this year. too many of their
brainy politicians supporting the
ticket in only a half hearted way.
The republicans intend to hold many
meetings. They feel that they can con-
vince the common sense voter in dis
cussing city affairs. without having
to resort to mud singing and vitupera-
ton.
The democrats expect to begin with
their meetings next week. A session
in the jefferson Club rooms is sched l.
uled as an opener
The progressives have not yet COM
pleted their ward ticket. They found
several whom they had nominated to
have returned to the republican ranks.
Chairman c. G.. kingwen yesterday
stated that Percy F. Golding of SO
Williams street would be the council
manic candidate in the Sth ward and
place of John Novak in the 10th ward
Novak was nominated by the progress
sives, but declined the offer and ac-
oepted the nomination a the hands Of
the republicans instead The progress
sives still have to fill vacancies in the
first, fourth and sixth wards. They have
not yet decided to name any one in
the eleventh ward against D. Z. Boone
the independent candidate.

One of the things to which the peo-

as many of the poles and wires from

The Holman street lighting system
is intended to be in operation by next
trical company which has the contract
in this direction.
Unlike the State street system, the
Holman street lights are all on one cir
cult. and will be impossible therefore
to turn out certain light as certain
hour. by a simple turn of the switch.
If one more street intersections
lights are to be kept during the entire
night 1t will be necessary to turn out
the other lights individually. Lee
Granger under whose supervision the
lights are being installed said this
morning that it would cost the proper
ty owners between three and four
thousand dollars extra to wire the sys-
tenn in way that all lights with the
exception of one or more can be turned
out simultaneously by the turn of a
switch.

Judge Lawrence Becker on Friday
heard the injunction petition which
was filed a week ago today by the
Erie and the Monon railroads against
the City of Hammond and William
Ahlborn. Judge Becker has taken his
ruling under advisement until next
Monday morning. The petition asks
that the city and the contractor be re-
strained from proceeding with the
pavement of the alley between State
and Sibley streets, from Oakley ave-
nue. west TO the first alley east of Hoh-

An E. J. and E. freight train on it's

this morning jumped the tracks while

barnacles and that the Republican

GAS FRANCHISE Up
BEFORE HUB COUNCIL
Action on Is Grant Deferred
Until Objections Have s
Been Overcome.
Especial to THE TIMEs.)


Crown Point. Ind. Oct 4.-The city
council met last evening for the pur-
pose of the public hearing on the gas
franchise being sought by Henry p
Broughton and quite a number OF rep
resentative business men We're present
to air their views on the proposition
All were In favor of the installation
of a gas plant and only two objections
were raised against the terms of the
franchise.
The citizens present seemed to OBJ
ject to the minimum rate clause, which
provides for a rate Of $3.50 per month
whether the meter registers that
amount or not the terms of the fran
chise being such that If the owner Of
a residence were absent a month or
any indeterminate period, he would be
compelled to pay the minimum rate of
$3.50 Another feature that met with
the disapproyal of those present, and
the council members. was that If the
Public Utilities Commission act should
be repealed in the future all the terms
! of the preesnt franchise, If granted
would be binding for a period of twen-
ty-fiye years. the city which is now
| protected under the utilities law, would
have recourse but to abide by the
terms of the franchise, which if exer-
cised to thei rfullest extent and with
cut the corrective supervision OF the
public service commission would put
the city wholly al the mercy of the
gas company.
| In the face of these objections the
! council decided to defer the further ac-
! tion on the franchise until such
changes as will protect the citizens te
the fullest extent made. Further
action and consideration were deferred
until the meeting on Monday evening

pROUTY PLEADS FOR
ROAD REGULATIONS
Commission sChairman Would
Allow Increase in Rates Only
With Supervision.

NEW YORK. Dec. 1i.-Charles
Prouty. chairman of the Interstate
Comerce Commission, speaking at the
Lotus Club dinner, rendered to Howard
w. Elliott, chief executive officer of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
lines. here Saturday night, said rail-
roads would be allowed to materially
increase their rates only when the rail-
roads issue certificates under the super
vision of the Federal Government.
Mr.. Prouty's defense of the Govern
ment's attitude toward the railroads
came as an answer to a previous state
ment by Mt. Elliott, who criticised what
he termed Government interference in
the conduct of the railroad business.
The realroads ask for increases in
rates." said Mr.. Prouty. Gentlemen,
when it is no longer possible for rail-
roads to spend money save for railroad
purposes; when the railroads cannot
buy securities of other railroads, and
when railroads cannot issue any securi-
ties save with Government supervision.
then, and not until then, can you safely
permit any increase in rates.
What was the trouble in New Eng
land with the New Haven, the road
whose new head We are doing honor to
tonight? Why, it could buy anything
ii wanted to: it could issue any securi-
ties it saw fit, and could manipulate
them any way it wanted to. These gen
