The Progressives carried both of these steel towns in 1912. By reason of the mills being forced to close down or operate only part time, thousands of men have laid off. These cities may be taken as typical industrial centers. In the recent primary the Republicans received 90 per cent, of the vote of Gary, the Democrats 7 peg cent, and the Progressives 3 per cent. In Indiana Harbor the Republicans received 92 per cent, of the vote, the Democrats 6 per cent, and the Progressives 2 per cent.” _ __ Indiana has no state-wide primary law, but an optional county primary law is in operation.
