From the story going the rounds it
appears that Mr.. Gleason may have
lost public Office as the result Of
manipulation Of one OF the rival fac

VICTIM OF PROPAGANDA

personal organ. insistently attacked
the mayor, DETAINED him. printed that

from Mr.. Gleason. There was but one
thing for Mayor Johnson 70 do and he
did 1T. And it now appears that the
propaganda in the Tribune threw the
hooks into Mr.. Gleason-making 1t ap-
pear that he fathered the attacks-and
was successful in ousting him.
The mayor had always had a high
regard for Mr.. Gleason. 1t is said. and
even after he had ousted the latters

the friendship kept up and he could
not fathom the attacks. Yet it became

inclined to act after Cleasons sup

FEUDs AMONG STEEL POLITICIANS.
Feuds among the steel political Of
fcials in Gary are OF notorious repute.
1t Is said to descend down the steel
hierarchy from New York via Chicago,
where some of the western and Car
negie groups in the steel trust are
stated TO be not over friendly At
times the rival political officials ap-
parently are at loggerheads, but when
the central whip cracks they must all
work for the common cause-yet some
always have the knife out for others.
and the inside story of politics has
many tale attached to II all the wav
from reforms and finance to plotting
and contracts.
TRIBUNE PENDULUM.
One Of the central cogs in these fac
tionaI fights between steel political
rings at Gary is the Gary Tribune. 1t
has been described as a sort Of pendu-
lum that swings back and forth What
with the swinging back and forth the
paper is said to keep both sides on
pins and needles And IL is no secret
that certain factions curry favor to
the editorial columns, evidently en-
deavoring to make good impression
on the higherups in Chicago and New
York, even though other good wills
and friendships are sacrificed to this
purpose.
