Hammond, Juno 6.—Hammond councilmen and the city administration eiected on a party platform to recognize women, after a hot fight turned the women down and elected L. L. Bomberger, a corporation lawyer and Mayor Brown’s campaign manager, to the board of education. Mrs. J. O. Thompson, president of the Hammond Woman’s club and equal suffrage worker, was given one vote. Hammond women are furious at the slight and promise to turn the present adminis tration out of office at the next election.
