A PREDICTION.

New York forgets its other inter
ests today in its bereavement. The
death of Mayor William j. Gaynor on
the steamship Baltic, while on his
way to Europe was a shock from
which the city will not recover soon,
and this shock is reenlivened today
in the final preparations for his fun
eral. OF course the public spirited
man thinks of the political effect of
the death of Judge Gaynor on the
mayoralty campaign, for he was NOM
mated on an independent ticket, just
day or so before he sailed. The
general belief is that as a result of
the mayors death, the anti-Tam-
many forces will carry the city cleo
ton In November.

COMMISSIONERS CONVENTION.

The tenth annual Indiana County
Commissioners Association of Indi-
ana which was the guest of Lake
County for three days this week was
probably the largest body of public
officials ever entertained here.
The convention cost money and
much arduous work, and many of
the taxpayers of Lake County have
undoubtedly asked themselves why
these visitors were shown such extra
ordinary attention. The explanation
! is simple
! Lake County is the second largest
county in the state. 1t has posi-
| bilities which will eventually make
lit the first county in the common
wealth. All of this developed since
| Gary came into being When 1t is
remembered that are people in Lake
County who have not yet grasped the
situation what can be expected of the
people who live down state? AS
long as the Importance of Lake
County is not recognized in every
town and county in Indiana, the
people who are doing things up here,
who are making Lake County the
most promising land of opportunity,
will have to struggle along under
handicaps which may not be unsur-
mountable, but which will be a drag
on the heels of progress. Nowhere
is this more apparent, than in the
Legislature.
| The county commissioners are not
ably WELD more influence in their
respective communities than the av.
erage legislator. They are the cream
of hoosier politicians
The money therefore that was sc
generously contributed by the Lake
County taxpayers was money well
lspent. In entertaining the conven-
ton visitors, Lake County through
its efficient county commissioners ac-
Iquitted itself as an excellent host.
The vote of thanks that the con.
lvention yesterday gave to Messrs
Mat Brown, Levi Hutton and George
ISchaaf and the other county Officials
land private citizens who aided then
is one in which the taxpayers gen,
erally can join with sincerity.
1t was only proper that Gary
whose existence made it worth while
to bring the convention to Indiana
IL.
lvention city. AS such 1t is in a clas
by itself, although Hammond de
Imonstrated yesterday and the othe
cities in the county on other occa
sions that they too are equal to thu
, occasion of entertaining live wires.

make speaking tours of the state in
behalf of their congressional nominees.
and 1t may be that the big Bull Moose
himself will be dragged into the cam
paign. The Progressives are planning
to effect a complete organization of
their forces in this state for the cam
paign.
Republicans, however, who have
heard of this plan. do not regard it
with much fear. They insist that the
Progressive party is on the down
grade and that the results in the city
elections this fall, while they will not
be positive indicators because of the
large number of independent tickets in
, the field, will show that the party is
not as strong as it was a year ago
even in it, strongholds.
Republicans are figuring strongly on
capturing not less than three districts
in Indiana next year. They say they
are sure of the Tenth district and
that the Fifth and Sixth will prob
ably go the same way They declare
that either Edgar D. Crumpacker or
VIII r. Wood can carry the Tenth dis
trict and that 1t could be carried by
any one of several other Republican of
the district. With all of the loss of
hepupilcails VINO went TO the progress
| sive party In the Tenth district last
year. the Democrats only carried the
| district by 100. The Democratic vote
| for Congressman was 1S.401, Republi-
/ can 1924 and Progressive 9.7S3. 1t is
| argued by Republicans that more than
| enough Republicans will return from
| the Progressive fold to the old camp
| next year to give the Republicans a
| plurality in the district once more
The prospect in the Fifth and Sixth
districts is not so bright but the Re
publicans believe they are going to Sir

in both. One of the things that they
believe will reduce the Democratic vote
next year is the fact that this year for
the first time in many years the Dem
ocratic congressman have had to
wrestle with patronage problems, and
this. they say, always tears a party
wide open at the next campaign. 1t Is
known that in some of the district
Democratic congressman have already
made many enemies in their party on
account of selections of postmasters.
and this, it is pointed out, will show
in the result at the election.
Some of the Democratic congress-
men would be tickled TO death If they
could unload the responsibility of dis
tributing patronage in their districts.
AS long as they were in the minority
and the President was a Republican
they had none of these troubles. but
as soon as they found themselves with
this responsibility on their ands their
troubles began. Every time they made
an appointment they made a horde of
unsuccessful applicants mad, and Dem
ocrats fear that these angry ones will
carry their anger to the polls next
year. All of these things are being
pointed out by Republicans as factors
that will enter into the congressional
fight next year.

HONOR TO BIG TIM. -

big Tim Sullivan's death dis
closed the fact that, although MEM
Der of congress. he had not attended
a session or even been in Washington
for years. He drew the salary, how
ever, and in this manner made IT
manifest that he was a sure-enough
representative of the party of
economy, retrenchment and reform. -
Indeed, there are the best reasons for
believing that If about two-thirds of
the rest of our congressional patriots
Iemulated Mr.. Sullivan's glorious
example the country would be vastly
better off. 1t could afford easily to
double their salaries to stay away
| from Washington and still be many
millions to the good each year. The
money that is lost to the federal
treasury through the grandstanding
| of cheap demagogues in congress is a
vast amount, and If the average citi-
zen could only be made to under
stand how the government is being
mulcted by these make-believe
statesmen there would be riotous
demonstrations in a great majority
of our congressional districts. All
honor to big Tim" Sullivan, who
kept away from Washington and was
content with just the salary! big
Tim," who never promoted an Gin
lveStigation," who never blocked the
Imail service with garden seeds or
public documents; who never shared
in the mileage" grab graft; who
never got his" at a pork barrel di-
vision; who never consumed a mil
lion dollars worth of congressional
time promoting a ten-dollar measure
with no merit behind it; and who
never committed any of the other
crimes the average congressman
Irevels in. big Tim" has passed tc

TIMES BUREAU
AT STATE CAPITAL.

indianapolis. Ind, Sept. 20.-All of
the Indiana Democratic congressman, as
we'll as those from other states, were
required to dig down in their pockets
this week for $25 each for the cam
paign fund of the Democratic congress
sional committee, and this story from
Washington has caused some merrf-
ment here. where the close-fisted ma
ture of some of the congressman is
well known. The story says that the
chairman of the committee sent no.
tees to all Democratic congressman
that the committee was in debt to the
tune of $4,000, and that 1T had not a
cent in its treasury. Therefore, an as
sessment OF 500 was made on each
Democratic member of Congress, s25 to
be paid at once, s25 to be paid the
first of January, and remainder to be
paid next summer. 1t is said that this
was the only way for the committee to
get on its fee. But it also was but
another one of those drains on the
Congressman's pocketbook which
leaves it flattened out when his term
ends.
1t is announced that the Progress
sives will make a desperate effort tc
elect some Com ressmen In Indiane
| next year. and that their campaign
committee will play much attention tt
this state. In fact, 1t is said that In
diana will receive more than the av'
| erage share of attention. and that al
the money the committee can spare
| and all of the orators it can scrap'
together will be sent in to Indiana TO
that campaign.
