McAleer, the attorney, to have to go home tonight if Hughes loses the edection without having to face a dogless home for his pet Boston terrier, a braid!', with a white stripe in its face has disappeared. The dog wore a red collar and looks like a bulldog. Mr. M?Aleer will suitably reward the. finder if he or she will call up phone 472 Hamrqond. Mac thinks the dog went out to vote somewhere and was lost in trying to find the right precinct. But laying all Joking aside the dog is gone and there's a reward.

Gary once a republican stronghold in national politics took a change to the tune of several thousand this time. Hughes only carried the steel city by 151 votes. Hughes received 3.S04 as compared with 3.653 for "Wilson, 'a decided change, from the 1914 landslide. In 1912 Roosevelt carried Gary. A difference of nearly 2.000 a loss was noted in comparing registration figures and the actual: vote cast 'for presidential candidates." Naturally the sudden change in Gary the rock-ribbed steel and high tariff town to an almost submission to democratic policies pleased Chairman Kinerty and the democratic leaders.. They think that the eight-hour law, which many Gary workmen want extended to the steel mills, helped out as did the present prosperity and attendant high wages C t the mills. Vote of 2 Year Ago.
