WATCH THE SPARKS.

Mayor Knots of Gary, who retires
from office two months hence, in Il
statement to a TIMES representa-
tive says that he supposes that he
will continue to take an active hand
in democratic politics.
Now that the mayor is to be di-
vested of Official power he may find
much opposition from the independent
democrats. The independents fused
with the citizens ticket and the re-
suit will be that many of their lead
ers will hold office at the Gary city
hall whereas the Knots men will be
out in the cold.
That many of the county leaders
have long sought to eliminate Knots
as dangerous rival is known 70
every one. But there was none who
would attempt such a fighting task.
With Knots endorsed it may be
found that the war to be waged on
him by the Independents at home and
the rival leaders in surrounding fields
will eliminate the burgomaster, who
has had such a stormy career.
