the grounds that the court of Judge

the fact that a case had previously

THE REAL
CAMPAIGN ISSUE

Whatever may be said or done, the
real, all important issue in the present
campaign is. SHALL THE GANG
THAT NOW DOMINATES OUR CITY
BE CONTINUED IN CoNTROL?"
The recent democratic primaries in
which the present administration was
endorsed by only 45 per cent of the
voters of that party shows It's disfavor
among the democrats. The gang in
control appreciates that fact and the.
further fact that this lack of approval
exends to. the citizens in general. ir-
respective of party lines 1t is gem
orally known that the interests of the
city VIII not be advanced and the
rights of its citizens be protected by
the gang, if continued in power In
the face of these facts. the gangs only
hope Of retaining their grip is not in
making appeal to the intelligence
of the voters. but in keeping the oppo-
sition to their control so divided as to
render it ineffective. Fate and the
various and devious methods employ ed
by the gang have produced conditions
which they hope will land them in
power again. Besides their ticket. the
democratic. there viii in all probabili-
ty be four tickets in the field.
If the patriotic. intelligent voters
wish to destroy the pernicious power
of the gang. and give to Hammond a
progressive business administration,
free from gang rule. and in which on
ly the greater good of a GREATER
HAMMOND is to be the controlling
factor In their every official act, they
must combine the forces of opposition
to the gang and center their lighting
strength behind the strongest. inos'
dependable ticket. In this way only
can the defeat of the gang be accom-
plished, and the real issue of the cam.
paign be settled in the interest of tn,
! people.-Adv

SCOV|[[E IS RED

DR.. Charles Reign Scoville, A. NJ L

First Christian church last evening on
the second evening of Rev. c. J..
Sharp's Ave day fall rally. He wore a
red necktie. Things popped on all
sides. A big Monday evening audience
went home in a startled frame of mind.
The revivalists ruthless appraisement
of sin and his Arm stand on the rock
OF righteousness offered little comfort
to the outsider or the feeble Christian.
Left Acrobatics Out.
Though ScovilIe did not indulge in
nasty language he said sharp things in
plain and graphic anglo-saxon of the
kind found on editorial pages. He kept
his coat on and stood IN one spot For
forty minutes Scoville talked at the
rate of two hundred words a minute
and often more.
Scoville entered the pulpit in a hur-
ry, just back from a flying trip to Chi
cago. He wore English Norfolk
and the above mentioned red tie. This
last knocks conventionalities into q
cooked hat. The evangelist cannot see
why white and black are more sane
timonious than red.

His sermon subject was, What Have
They Seen In Thy House?" He began
by saying that we have not the proper
reverence in these days for holy things
To illustrate this the evangelist warn
ed a gum chewing contingent in the
rear to make less noise and told some
bows in the balcony to be quiet.
IF Christ were to come into your
house what would He see?" Scoville
asked.
