lowing the bis Crumpacker rally at
Welland's hall last night, forty-eight
young, republicans of this city formed
an organization which will be one of the potent factors of this year's cam
paign. Judge V. S. Reiter opened the
meeting with a brief talk on the sub
ject of organization, impressing his
isteners with the understanding that
they "must get out to the polls and

The result was pleasing. It brought
In Gary, which has recently ' gone
dry through the action of the blanket remonstrance law, the sentiment is that
the county local option law recently
passed Dy tne state legislature is a good measure, and that it will be of
great power In electing the republican
candidate to the ' governorship. It
means In their opinion that the town ships, as well as the county, will re
tain the saloon, in Lake county, and
that as soon as possible Gary will be
taken out of the .dry list. Works Oat for Good.
One of the leaders of the democratic
party in Gary, an attorney who has
taken an active interest in the local
situation. Is. A. Beck, recently stated
that he thought that although Governor Hanly had had the measure passed for the purpose of disrupting the party that he had done far more good than
he had done harm and the republicans
would make great gains in the south em part of the state where the sentl ment is against liquor. Sav Tonnnhlp In Future.
Although it is felt In Gary that the
new law will not relieve the local situation, by repealing the v banket re
monstrance law, it is almost a cer-
tainty that the township will never go
dry again. Therefore, if it will not
effect this county, and is looked upon favorably in the southern part of the the state; politicians say that it will

Democrat Sees Watson Victory.
A Gary business man, well known over the Calumet region, who has al
ways been a strong democrat, states
that the election of Watson is almost
a certainty now that the county local
option bills have passed. He stated that, he has had a varied experience in politics and that he finds all through the country the voters are supporting candidates who declare themselves against the saloons. In Gary Watson himself is strong as he has made a fvorable impression whenever he has appeared in the city, and he has a large number of personal friends.
tlcians who will be powerful In their work between this time and November. Attorney Joseph A. Meade, of the "Wil-
tis E. Roe law office, was elected president, following the withdrawal from
the race of Manager Foland of the
Lake County Ice company. Mr. Meade
is a young man who is bound to make
things lively for the democracy of Lake
county. During the recent Illinois
state campaign he handled the entire southern end of that state in the interests of Senator "Billy" Mason. His
reputation as a forceful politician, though you," is of the' best and the boys are to be congratulated on their success In the selection of such a leader.

Electrification of Illinois Central May Mean Great Things For Hammond.
Speculation Is rife in business and railroad circles of Hammond as to the probable extent a consolidation of the Erie railroad and the Harrlman Interest would affect Hammond. The Illinois Central railroad, the Kensington and Eastern road, which is now under construction, and the C. C. & L. line being Harriman ' roads, It is
believed that a loop service over these roads with the Erie as the connecting link is probable and that with the development of the region the plan will materialize. Speculation goes even farther since the Illinois Central is seriously considering the electrification of Its suburban service. It Is. believed that In the event the loop materializes that it will be electrified. A Transcontinental System. It is understood of course that the primary object of the Harriman interests in securing control of the Erie is to complete a national wide system for which an eastern line Is still lacking. The Illinois Central connects the Great Lakes with the Gulf; Harriman also controls the Union Pacific and the
Southern Pacific and all that Is needed

Electrification of the Chicago suburban roads is bound to come sooner or later and if Hammond Is on the loop it will be Included in the change of service.

daughter of Mr. Robert Tinsley, general superintendent of the Pullman Car works. The young woman, who hr.s grown, is looked upon as their "little sister" will become the bride of North Stone, a wealthy wholesale grain dealer of Evansville, Ind. Like the mistress of Essen before her marriage, Miss Tinsley for years has made the lives of the workmen and their families her personal care. . She has moved among them like one of them. She has visited their homes, eaten at their tables, listened to their grievances, sympathized with their troubles, and given her time and mcney to alleviate their condition. "We've known her since she was a wee tot." said a big workman with sleeves rolled up in the shops yesterday.

Well Known Soclnllj-. Miss Tinsley and Mr. Stone met at
a summer resort in Wisconsin. The wedding will take place at the Pullman club, because the family home at 10834 Wabash avenue is not large enough to hold all the guests that have been invited. The ceremony will be
