TWO MORE
ANNOUNCE
CANDIDATES.

Phil Smidt, who is popularity known
among his friends as the mayor Of
Roby" and William B. Muir whose
name as the coffee and tea man. has
become household word in Hammond,
both plunged into the democratic sea
of candidates today. "Phir' Smidt form
ally announces himself as candi-
date for the democratic nomination for
the fourth ward which includes Roby
and Robertsdale. while Mr. Muir seeks
the honor of councilman at large. About
year ago Mr.. Muir gave up his coffee
and tea store and he is now connected
with the packing firm of Morris and
company as salesman. He has been a
resident of Hammond for thirteen years
and in the last campaign was a candi-
date for alderman from the seventh
ward. He was beaten by only 81 votes.
After the election he viii move to 444
East State street. and in the event he
is elected to the office of councilman
at large this would not interfere with
his office. where as ward alderman
he would have to give up his position.
Although having never held office be-
fore, Mr. Muir always took an interest
in public affairs and was one of the
most frequent visitors at the city coun-
ell meetings.
Phil Smidt has been resident of
Roby for twenty years. Every child
knows him there. For eight years he
was superintendent of the Knicker
hacker Ice Company. Now he devotes
all of his time catering to a large
clientele in his famous fish and dinner
restaurant. This indications are that he
will have no opposition in the demo-
cratic ranks.

Generous citizens are donating more to
finance Injunction proceedings against
the board of public works in the deep
sewer matter than their total assess

to. With everything to lose and moth
ing to gain they are going ahead with
the lost cause, endeavoring to revive
sentiment against the city
Luckily the average anti has accept
ed the dictation of the board as final
and suspended hostilities. Those hard
ened warriors however, DR.. Delaney,
and Messrs. HAN. Heckleman, Brew
baker and other reactiona ries are back
in their fight togs. 1t is likely that they
never even had them off for they claim
to have four hundred dollars pledged to
pay for the costs of the injunction pro-
ceedings.
Enthusiasm has died down to a great
extent and it is predicted that when
the antis start the collection a good
many of those pledged. probably a great
majority. will find themselves unable
or unwilling to pay.
