The speaking at the Courthouse in this city tomorrow night should be well attended by every citizen in the county who can possibly get there. The democratic nominees for United States Senator and Gov ernor, Hons. Wm F. Kirby and Chas. H. Brough, will be the attraction, and they should receive the en- eouragement of the citizenship of the county and be given a big ova- ton, and the Courthouse should be filled to it's utmost capicity.

j. 6. MAY
ENTER AN
ALLIANCE
BY United Press.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-The United
States may have to enter what has pre-
viously been regarded as IAN entangling
alliance" if present peace negotiations
go down TO the point OF international
enforcement of peace guarantees.
The state department announced this
officially today for the first time. Sec
retary Lansing today held it TO be some-
what premature to discuss such prob
lens at this time, but indicated this
government had considered the possible
necessity for an alliance if any peace
agreement is to bind.
The department manifestly regretted
the allied Interpretation that President
Wilson himself had said both sides in
Europe were fighting for the same thing.
1t was pointed out that the peace note
specifically said that leaders of both
sides had named things for which they
were fighting and that their statements
of purpose had agreed.
In the matter of possible alliances II
was held that the United States would
naturally link itself with the Pan
American nations, at the same time
probably joining with certain nations in
an agreement which this country might
previously have considered entangling.

CALLAHAN
OUT OF RACE

Mayor Frank Callahan Of East Chi
cago feels that one term as chief exc
cutive of the city is enough and In
consequence had said that he will not
be candidate for reelection. It viii
be remembered that Mayor Callahan
won out three years ago in fight that
was bitterly contested by the citizens
party and the republican party, Dr. A.
G. Schlieker having been the nominee
OF the latter organization.
The Mayor has made many friends
since his advent into politics and a
large body of the citizenship OF the
city will regret to know that he is 40
longer available for the office OF chief
executive.
Mayor Callahan states that his rea-
son for declining ia because of the
fact that the office requires more time
than the remuneration warrants. He
feels that it viii be far more profitable
to him to give exclusive attention to
his business as building contractor.
Another reason why the mayor
wishes more time to devote to private
matters is the fact that the firm of
Callahan & Schock are planning on
the construction in the spring Of
large. new, modern laundry, to be To-
Gated on 137th street. between Grape
vine and Hemlock streets Plans for
this new building are out and involve
a construction and equipment that
will make the Calumet Laundry one
Of the finest in northern Indiana.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND. Dec. "a
James p. Goodrich. Governor-elect
told the Republican members of the
legislature at their conference, held
here yesterday afternoon, that fully
one hundred state offices and jobs
could be abolished without injury to
the public service. and he indicated TO
them that he would make recon-

message TO the legislature. He did
not designate particularly the offices
and jobs that he thought might be
abolished. but It is known that he has
in mind the idea of wiping out the oil
inspection department with its fifty or
more political deputies, the state for
estry commission and the state FISH
and game commissioners department
with its army of game and fish ward
ems, all appointed on a purely political
basis.
1t is known, also that Goodrich has
in mind certain other offices that could
be abolished without doing any harm.
and thereby saving many thousands
Of dollars for the taxpayers. and it
would not be at all surprising II he
were to make recommendations about
them in his message.
Goodrich also urged the legislators
to adopt policy OF strict economy

the management of the business of

were made by State Chairman Will III.
