NEWS OF THE COUNTY SEAT
JTM WATSON'S DEFEAT DEPLORED AT COUNTY SEAT.
Republicans There Attribute It to the Liquor Question.
The defeat of Jim Watson for governor of Indiana has proven to be a hard proposition for lots of Lake county people to swallow and perhaps never
in the history of politics has any can- and this allowed Wheeler to score

Hobart won the basketball game last
Thursday from Wheeler by a score of
13 to 14. It was so cold that the
players couldn't hang on to the ball
didate for office created such a favor
able impression among Lake county
people as Watson has done. The re
markable vote polled for him, despite the awful odds he had to contend with in Lake county, goes to show the hold
he has upon the people in this vicinity.
and had the liquor question not been an issue, Watson surely would have
polled as large a vote as Taft.

AN OPEN LETTER
To the edHor of the Time, and I want tbe people of Hammond to know
that I write the following voluntari
ly. Harry I Goodlel.
I have suffered for the last five year and have tried different doctors, but
have had no relief until I bought a 50
cent box of Ml-o-na from our drug store (R. W. Knowlton's) here a short time
ago.
The first box did me so much good that I immediately purchased another one, and now I feel better than I have at any time in the past five years. Am
able to eat anything and everything.
and to get a god night's sleep after
wards.
Was so bad at one time that all I was able to eat for over a month was
a raw egg in a half a glass of milk,
two or three times a. day.
I would earnestly advise anyone suf
fering as I was from dyspepsia, to give this remedy a fair trial. I remain.
gratefully yours, Harry L. Goodiel, No,

"By FOOTLIGHTS."
Glau and his overweight chorus from
the "Aeroplane" company have returned
to New York in what may be described
as greatly reduced circumstances. Not as to finances, let is be said, nor yet
in numbers, glory be, but In avoirdupois that is to say, gross flesh. The entire galaxy has lost out in this respect, much to its advantage.
It seems the people out west will sup
port slim ballerinos, and no other, and our famous "balloon chorus" carried, so to speak, no weight wit hthem. They
treated that prize collection of fat New York beauties with an unprecedented
coldness. Consequently, Glau faced the
problem of reducing the entire front and rear rows at once, or shipping
them back "excess" baggage. It was
a terrific job, as all who saw the "Aero
plane" before it left this tolerant town will admit, but our ingenious townsman tackled it and succeeded broke all
records in fact. And thereby hangs a tale worthy of any fat lady's attention.
Glau didn't rehearse his flock into
shape, nor starve them into lino, nor
yet worry them, verbally, into shadows. He paid salaries regularly and let them eat and drink as they listed. He simply hung up a new rule in the dressing rooms to the effect that every
lady less than five foot seven who weighed in excess of 150 pounds must take a teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime (orabout where her bedtime ought to be), of the following: Onehalf ounce Marmola, Vi ounce Fluid Ex
tract Cascara Aromatic, and 3 ounces
Peppermint Water. They did it and In a month averaged a loss of a pound a day apiece. "That's a dandy receipt," says Glau. "Simple, pleasant, harmless and a worker from the word go.' Wish I could get a railroad rate reducer half as good."

(Continued from Pagre One.) Ohio, Marshall wins over Watson in Indiana. Governor Johnson is re-elected in Minnesota, and the governorship contest in Michigan is very close, and undecided. In view of their losses of the governorships in Ohio and Indiana, and of the legislature in the latter state and possibly also the former, the republicans count themselves lucky to have saved the presidential electors in both states by relatively small pluralities. The new Indiana legislature is democratic, and it is expected Mr. Kern is to have Ills disappointment over loss
of the honor of presiding over the United States senate softened by the j gain of a seat in that body as successor j to Senator Hemenway. The legislatures in Ohio and Kansas, j
both involving United States senatorships, are in doubt. In all of his battles Bryan has been opposed by the business interests of the country. "Of course no man can be elected president of the United States who lacks the confidence of the business mm of the country." Those words, spoken a few days ago
by one of the most prominent democrats of the east, give perhaps as good an explanation of Taft's great victory as we are likely to get. In connection
with this central fact must be consid- !
ered another most important element the general approval given by the people at large to the policies and administration of President Roosevelt and their desire that they be continued.
