It will be the big early movement of the republicans in this part of Indiana. To give entertainment to the occasion a number of athletic events have been planned. -There will be two wrestling matches, a soft ball game, fat men’s race, men’s race, boys’ race, standing and running broad jumps, shot put. hammer throw, etc. The committee had first planned to sell 1,000 tickets, but the demand became so great, says The Gary Tribune that 1,000 more tickets were authorized Tuesday and apparently all will be sold. Hon. James R. Mann, of Illinois, is the speaker of the day. The date set for the picnic is Saturday of this week, Aug. 14th, and it is probable a number of politicians from this county will attend.
