WHAT WOULD THEN HAPPEN?

In the event of the discovery of election frauds in Gary what effect woujj it have on the admittance of New and Watson into the United States senate? The question is being discussed in Gary. It is significant that at Washington there are plans on foot to have the senate probe into the defeats of Senators Kern and Taggart. On the heels of the announcement comes word of possible arrests in Gary. Several politicians declare that the discovery of any frauds in Gary might be grounds for the senate to refuse admittance to the successors of Kern and Taggart as each legislative body is the. arbitrary judge of who shall be admitted to its ranks.—/Hammond Times (Rep.)
