the editors
Here's the keys TO the city" added
Mayor Dan Brown in his most cordial
manner.
Scores of the editors had got out Of
bed at unheard of hours to catch the
special at various towns between In
dianapolis and Hammond. They were
frankly eager for breakfast and the
provender on the tables at the Lyn-
dora hotel was ample for their appe-
tites.
The editors were taken TO the Lyn-
dora hotel in automobiles driven b.
Hammond bankers, Judges. lawyers

representative citizens.

For two whole days the editors can
relax. No need to keep an eye out
for the lnfuriated citizen demanding
