There are a number of students in the business college who have paid for courses in advance and who would have been out the amount of their tuition if it had not been for the fact I that the Chicago Business college has ' agreed to take them in and let them complete the rest of their business education.

JOHSON NOT COMING Democrats Lose the Services of Minnesota's Governor. Much to the regret of the democrats of Lake county, and especially the party organisation, their best drawing card for the campaign. Governor Johnson of Minnesota, will not be In Hammond on Saturday as he was scheduled. His coming has been postponed indefinitely and the probabilities are that he will not come at all. Governor Johnson has a hard battle In his own state, where he is seeking re-election. In the presidential elections Minnesota has always gone republican, and with such a sentiment as a beginning- it easy to realize that he must use every spare. hour in his own big state. His failure to come to Hammond Is not only regretted by democrats, but by republicans as well, as many had hoped to see the man who was thought to be good enough to furnish presidential timber. County Chairman Ed Simon will not attempt to land another speaker for next Saturday night, as the time to advertise would be too short. It is more than likely that there will be nothing doing In the way of democratic speechmaking until on the 19th, when, Marshall Is expected to be In Hammond,

SHACKS ft 1E1ICE TO GARY

Standing in the Business District They Imperil More Substantial Buildings as Recent Barn Fires in Fire Limits Has Shown. COMMERCIAL CLUB WILL URGE SECTION Necessity, of Protection Will Bring About an Extension of Fire Limits and the Hazing of the Shacks in This District Will Follow at Once. In the two recent conflagrations In Gary, which have consumed barns on "Washington street, the danger of having so many shacks within the Are limits, Imperiling the substantial buildings adjoining, has been brought to the notice of the property owners of the city. It is likely therefore that In lieu of this fact there will be a petition started for the extension of the fire limits to cover, in addition to the pres ent territory, the west side of Washington street and the east side of Massachussetts. Aside from this the city will likely be asked to condemn all of the shacks now within the flre limits and have them razed at once. It fs a most deplorable, as well as dangerous fact, that between any of the magniflcant structures in the heart of the city there are scattered a multitude of sheds, used for various purposes which at any time might cause the destruction of the buildings. This Imperils thousands of dollars' worth of property and It Is evident that It is necessary to take some action at once before the city is awakened to the fact by some disastrous conflagration. The burning of the two barns on Washington street, which were nothing more then large shacks, has empha(lODtinnrd on page 2.) A GOOD MEDIUM.

HAMMOND PEOPLE ARE STUNG FOR 2 BITS Subscribe Por Magazine Which So Far Has "ot Reached Them. Stung: Likewise buncoed. Scores of Hammond people who figured in getting something for nothing or nearly so. are slowly realizing that they In for nothing. Some time ago agents were sent out in Hammond who collected a quarter In advance from subscribers with the understanding that the subscribers were to get for one year, without further cost a copy of one of 40 of the leading magazines in the country, the only pro vision being that the subscribers select ' a different magazine from the list each month. It was easy "pickings" especially for the Publishers Mailing List of New York which promoted the scheme. HO RE NEWS 171 OXE WEEK I THE fiJiES THAN IX ALL THE OTHER PAPERS IX THE.

SAYSM CONDITIONS County Chairman Ed Simon Declares Republicans Are ; Getting thes Money. DEMOCRATS BET THE BLAME Formerly the Democrats (jot the Money and the Republicans The Blame. J.E. Pigman of Indianapolis was a caller at the democratic headquarters In Hammond this morning. Mr. Figman said that his business In this campaign is such as to take him all over the state. If Mr. Pigman did not bring a barrel of the tainted green he was not shy of good cheer, not the kind that" inebriates, but rather about the good outlook of the democratic party. "They tell me tip here." said the visitor, "that Marshall stock Is said to have dropped In the betting odds. I left Indianapolis last night and this is what I saw at the Dennison hotel. Two $100 bets on Marshall were offered on the blackboard with odds 10 to 9. They found no takers. Two similar : bets had been taken earlier In the afternoon, but were standing there on record. i Sfo Watson Men for Even Money. The democrats had to give these odds because there were no "Watson backers who were willing to take the hundred-dollar even bets. Remember the even bets were not taken, but merely wiped off the board. Ten to 9 are the prevailing odds on Marshall In general In Indianapolis. "You ask about the labor vote, I think I can safely say that It Is almost a unite for Marshall. "As to the activities of the brewery Interest, that Is a charge that the republicans have loaded onto the democrats whether they want It or not. But since we have the bad name anyhow we would not mind if we had a little money, too. Says Republicans Are Getting It. "If the brewers are spending any money at all they are giving It to the republicans. They know that the democrats are opposed to county local option, so what's the use to dicker with them so It must be the repub Means that they are dealing with. County Chairman h.d. felmon was In the headquarters at the time and hearing Pigman's remarks added: "The only way that I can explain this brewery trust talk is that condi tions are Just reversed from what they used to be. In former times the republicans got all the blama and the bad name and the democrats got the money now its Just turned about. "Jack" Walker, president of the Hammond Saloonkeepers' association, and I myself are each willing to take an oath that we have had no dealings or been visited by an agent of the brewery trust. Now I suppose the republicans want us to get on a stack of Bibles . to take that oath. Well, I II take it on ai big a stack as they care to furnish."

Samuel Gompers, president of the: American Federation of Labor, is scheduled to be In Hammond Friday morning, Oct. 16, from t to lO o'clock, at which he will speak under the auspices of the Trades and Iabnr Council. He is scheduled to be In Gary from 10)30 to 11 o'clock. With him will be: E. A. Perkins of Indianapolis, president of the state ; Federation of Labor; O. P. Smith of Lo- j gansport. first vice president, state : Federation of Labor; John J. Keegan, Indianapolis, of the International Ma- i chlnists' association; Fred Felke of Garrett, of the Brotherhood of Rail road Trainmen. President Gompers, although cam paigning from a suposedly labor stand point. Is really urging the election of Bryan for president and Marshall for governor of Indiana. Among the local labor men who are democrats there is no little sentiment . against the stand that Gompers la tak- ( lng. They refuse to he converted and be part of the present that Mr. Gorapers is expected to hand to Mr. Bryan on a silver platter, union made. . On the other hand, the laboring men who are In sympathy with Bryan and his platform are glad that their presi- j dent Is coming to make the Issues clear ' from a4 union man's standpoint, and thus gain support for the democratic ' platform. IT LOOKS PROMISING aBBananaanaBan Hammond Man Says Down State Is O. K. For Republicans. j Edward Ames, Sr.. who has Just returned from a trip down in the central part of the state, jeportB that things are looking very promising for the republican ticket. Mr. Ames spent several days In Crawfordsville and hla on, Ray Ames, has been traveling all over the state. So far as they vers able to learn, the special session of the legislature was not objectionable to republicans generally. Charlis Landis who i In that district is having a hard fight on lhs hands but the enemy now coneeeds his election'and his district will have a substantial repullcan majority. The principle trouble In Crawfordsville is the fact that a fight rs being made on John R, Bonneil and other republican leaders who are-said to be ringsters. The students in Wabash college are all republicans and will vote for Taft and Watson. f
