STANLEY PROUD OF
KALE;; NOW IT'S GONE

When Stanley Novak emerged
fro mthe kitchen of the South Shore
Country Club. where he Is employed
as cook, yesterday he was emacu-
late as a count and bore all the ap-
pearances of { man of wealth.
He was on his way to visit j
sister who lives in East Chicago.
Coming VIA East Chicago, he en-
gagged a jitney. At the gate OF his
sisters home, Stanley drew out
large roll a. IL preparing to pay the
jitneur. and then on second thought
instructed the driver TO wait few
minutes. His sister wasn't at home
so they started back to East Chi
cago.
On the return trip from Hammond
Yesterday afternoon Stanley told
Desk Sergeant McIver OF the East
Chicago police. the jitneur robbed
him of his $3.50 and threw him from
the car.
The police here arc looking for
a driver of a Ford touring car who
is possibly 25 years old, feet 9
inches tall and wears brown suit.

ATTORNEY ARGUES
FOR BOTH PARTIES
Wants to Confess Judge
ment for Defendant and
Collect It for Plaintiff.

One we'll known Lake county attor-
won the hand embroidered coffee
pot in the superior court at Ham
mond yesterday.
He pulled a new one.
He came into court as the attorney
for the plaintiff and for the defen-
dant at one and the same time. He
got up in front OF Judge Critics and
told what a first class burglar the
defendant was and then when the
court wanted to know IL this low
life defendant had an attorney with
nerve enough to appear for him. the
said attorney got UP again. this time
as counsel for the opposite side. and
told what a horse thief the plaintiff
was and what a fine guy the defen-
dant was.
This IS getting good" said Judge
Critics. DO you come into this court
proposing to represent both the plain
tiff and defendant in this suit"
Yes. your honor" said the attor-
ney. IT propose to confess judgment
in behalf OF the defendant and col
lect it in behalf of the plaintiff
Lew" said the court to his ball
If. adjourn court for the afternoon.
I want to go in and tell this one to
Judge Reiter. He'll laugh himself
sick
Attorneys declare that the fellow
had the right system but use the
wrong methods. He should have
worked something like this:
Enters courtroom wearing frock
coat, brown derby and gray wig.
Makes argument for plaintiff Slips
out of courtroom. Changes frock
coat for duster. discards wig, puts
on auto gloves and cap and dashes
into courtroom, saying IT am the
attorney for the defendant in this
case. your honor. am sorry to be
late but I just now got back from
Crown Point"

INDIANAPOLIS, October 7.-Opti-
mistic republican leaders inspired
by the phenomenal success OF the
Beveridge speaking tour in Indiana.
are predicting that the Hoosier state
will return a solid delegation Of
thirteen Republican congressman to
Washington in the fall election. And
ii appears that there are good
grounds for the belief OF the lead
ers.
The writer has been OF the opinion
that the Republicans would elect
eleven of the thirteen congressman
from the state, with the Democrats
reEaining two districts However,
recent enthusiasm stirred UP by
Beveridge and factional differences
in some OF the doubtful districts
among the Democrats. makes it ap-
parent that there is a really good
chance for solid delegation to be
returned to the lower House at
Washington.
II now appears. however. that In
only two or three Congressional dis
tricts have the Democrats any
gresham. In these districts, recent
developments seem to favor the Re
publican candidates.

From personal observations with

that Beveridse Is going big" in
every section Of the state.
Party organizations are letting
the oratory take care OF itself these
days and devoting every energy to-
ward the registration OF voters on
Monday. the final registration day
for this year. In organization for
registration. 1t can easily be said
that the Republicans are in a much
better position than the opposition
