CARY MAY HAVE SPLIT
IN REPUBLICAN PARTY
Embossed G.. O. P. Element
Talk of Bringing Out
Unfettered Candidate.

There is a. well defined movement in
the republican party at Gary to purge
it of its influences of corporation boss
ism and and out of town control and as
a result an independent republican tick
ct may be put in the field. Many mem
bers of the party are known to be dis
gusted with the fake reform methods
used. the importation of corporation de-
tectives, and the failure to get results
in certain quarters after lie grand jury
had labored hard and failed to find ma
terial for official indictments.
The belief is that the republican party
as now constituted in Gary is in the
hands or bosses and men who owe most
Of their fortunes to having rendered
mental political services to large inter-
ests. Republicans see no nance for a
square deal as the case nov stands and
the demand for an independent candidate
has been growing.
