be the defense at Schmidt's trial. o.

II is A GREAT
LITTLE YARN THIS.
T. r. Schaaf Wouldn't Have
Mayoralty Nomination
on a Gold Platter.

Members of all political parties in
political situation are laughing a the
reported split III the republican party
over the leadership or alleged desire
for leadership of F. Richard Schaaf
Everybody knows that the repub-
lican party organization in Hammond
is a myth. 1t is something that the
oldest inhabitants may have heard
about at time in the distant past,
but there is not even a semblance Of
an organization now
So +. Richard Schaaf, contended with
what political activity and preferment
that has come to him in the past, is
not looking for a mayoralty nomina-
tion.
In fact, Schaaf expects to cut mighty
little figure in the coming election.
He will take the interest that any
citizen ought to take in the matter,
but outside of that there is nothing do
ing.
So any republican who is fighting the
shadow of Dick Schaafs domination
ought to be looked after and refered to
some prominent alienist for treatment
Schaaf denies absolutely that he will
get into or be drawn into any political
activity in Hammond in connection
with sfhe coming mayoralty election.

to run.
The company Evlde number of sub
an agreement to double track within
given time limit. and to pave its
right of way with bricks, furthermore.
to remove unsightly wooden poles and
replace them with iron poles. The
new franchise covers the same streets
over which the company has a right of
way under its old grant.
Taking everything into consideration
the new franchise in its present shape
is considered quite acceptable for a

call special meeting of the Hammond
City council for tomorrow evening TO
act on the proposed extension of the
Green line franchise from Conkey ave-
nue. south 10 the Little Calumet riv-
er. The calling of the meetings de-
pends what progress the board of
public works and the comapny's rep
resentative could make at the meet
ing this afternoon. At noon, however,
1t was thought that the two bodies
could get together in an acceptable
agreement.
The prompt action by the city ad-
ministration is taken to insure sub
urban line before the public utilities

the meeting for tomorrow night is
called to save time for second meet
ing if necessary.
