Explained by the New
President.

DIR. Lena B. Watson, the dentist and
suffragette. is no longer secretary of
the Lake County Humane Society or
one of its directors. Miss Watson has
resigned from membership for the very
sufficient reason that she does not care
to belong.
L can employ my spare time to bet

morning when approached on the why's s
and wherefores of her resignation.
The society was not accomplishing
what / believed 1t should. 1t is the
first charitable society l was ever con-
nected with. 1 will from now on do
what 1 can in my daily life to help
others and will not be identified with
charity"
Miss, Lulu Symmes, president of the
society attributes Dr. Watson's resig-
nation to case OF pique.
DIR. watson is simply sore because
her name was not mentioned for re-
election" she said. THE society Is do
ing a grand work"
Miss Symmes emphasized the grand

South Bend has always had one OF

On the other hand. Coach Smith of

Murky water, muddy streets and

BODY OF DEAD
MAN is FOUND

The body of an unidentified man
was found on the Joliet road near the
Erie milk stand at Elliot early this
morning. In his pocket, half filled
bottle of whiskey was found and 1t
is evident that his death was due TO
exposure. Deputy Coroner Houk was
notified and the remains were removed
to Geisen's morgue at Crown Point
where an effort is being made to
identify the body.
The find made by a farmer. who
saw the body laying alongside the

that the man had been dead some time.
He is described as being about 35
years old and fairly well dressed.
Farmers state that they have seen the
stranger around Elliot for a number
of days.

ROHDE
GIVES HIS
OPINION

John L. Rohde, chairman of the dem
ooratic city central committee in an
interview today regarding the political
situation in Hammond from a demo-
cratic standpoint, made one prediction
with reference to the progressive
strength at the polls next Tuesday
which is at variance with that coming
from the republican camp. In addi-
ton. he said he felt confident of a large
vote. a statement which has some
weight coming from politician of his
experience. Mr.. Rohde is confident
that between forty-fve hundred and
five thousand votes will be cast in
Hammond.
While 1 think IL is trifle early to
make a prediction which is to stand as
an ultimatum." said Mr. Rohde, Il
think 1t is safe to say that the pro-
gressives will not show any loss as
compared to last year. 1t is true we
have no national issues in the cam
paign. or Roosevelt's personality to
figure on. but look for their strength
to come mainly from the anti-deep
sewer people.
II look for large vote next Tues
day, between forty five hundred and
hve thousand I realize that the can
didates of all parties are campaigning
actively. but can only see victory for
Smalley and our ticket. 1 feel conf
dent that Smailey will get more re-
publican votes than Crumpacker will
get democratic votes"
AS in former years. the Standard
Steel car district is again a conundrum
for the political leaders. Individual
candidates of all parties with the prob
able exception of the prohibltionist are
bic to go into the district and dc
work for themselves personally because
of their acquaintance there. but as foI
the republican and democratic strength
for the entire ticket. there is eonsid-
erable question. The situation this
year however is not quite so complex as
ii was in former years when there were
between FIVE and seven hundred votes
there. The number this year is estin-
ated az less than two hundred.
