POLITICS IN GARYLAND A big time s expected tonight at the meeting of the Gary Railroad Men's Republican club at the Kirk hotel. Practically over four-fifths of the rail road men have joined the club and are working for the candidacy of John A. Brennan, h republican candldata for mayor. William McNeil, manager of the Kirk hotel, candidate for alder man of his ward, is one of the most ardent workers and is responsible for lining up a large number of the men. A good program is being prepared for tonight, and a large number of local republicans outside of the regular club will attend. Probably the greater part of the work In the approaching campaign is centering In the south end district. Republican and democratic clubs are being organized and much secret work is being done in that district. At the meeting of the Slavonic Vot ers Republican cl'Jb at Bilkovlc's hall. Eleventh avenue and Adams street, on Thursday night over sixty members Joined the organization. Attorney Paul J. Tomanoczy was selected by the Slav onians for the nomination of council men-at-large to represent the people of his nationality. Mr. Tomanoczy has consented to be a candidate and will enter the race for the nomination. The work of taking the census of Gary Is going on at a rapid rate, and It is expected that the work will be completed long before the time scheduled. Six men have been working on the. census for the past three days and are making a good showing. The fol lowing are the names of the census takers: A. H. Bell, Carl O. Cooper, J Morris. O. II. Schmidt. E. E. Wlldermuth, and N. Lustina. Thomas E. Knotts Is preparing to hold a democratic meeting downtown In the very near future. It is said, but the time and place has not as yet been decided. So far Mr. Knott has been centering most of his efforts among the foreigners in the south end. Sunday will be republican day at the Tolleston baseball park and all republicans In Gary are Invited to attend the ball game between the Gary-Tolleston team and the Hammond team. John A Brennan, republican candidate for the mayoralty nomination, has been asked to umpire the game. On account of the meetings of the Republican club and the Young Men's Republican club falling on the same night, hereafter the meetings and drills of the Republican Marching club will be held on Wednesday evening. The next meeting will be held on the 15th and all the members and all other re publicans are invited to be present. Captain Bowen announced that th meetings of the Toung Men's Marching club will change the night of the! drill from Friday night to Wednesday night, as this date conflicts with th meeting night of the regular Republi can club. Tho next drill will then b held Wednesdny. The drillmaster hopes to have at least seventy-five young men out next Wednesday night to partici pate in the drills. Monday night the Colored Republi can club will meet on Washlngto street, between Thirteenth and Four teenth avenues. Here they plan to hold the biggest meeting that has been held so far this year. They have provided several good speakers and ask to have all of both colored and white me present that can attend.

HEN SHALL

GOIHIIO D LI The Gary republicans are in a quandary over the most propitious time In which to hold their convention. It has been ascertained that It will be impossible to hold the convention until after Gary has been made a city, for nominations cannot be made for an office that does not exist. It has practically been decided, there fore, by the republican club to take some action about the first of next month so that their ticket can be de fined and the men will then be able to work as the republican nominees rath er than candidates for the nomination Club Endorsement May Stand. It is believed by most of the politi cians that the best plan would be for the republican club to endorse their candidates for municipal offices and let the endorsement stand In lieu or a nomination. This would be done after making known the date and place of what might be called a mock conven tlon so that every republican in the city might have the oportunlty to par ticipate in the selection. This would give all of the candl dates a reasonable time to make their campaign. If the ticket was not made up until after the town was made Ity it would give them but a little ver teij days for actual campaigning, It can easily be seen from this why the town board delayed the taking of the census as long as It did. TELLS OF CONDITIONS 111 THE STEEL CITY Rev. A. T- Briggs, Superin tendent of District, Shows Faith in City of Magic. NATCH THE LITTLE CHURCHES 'Need at Gary 13 Critical and Even Pathetic," Says the Pastor of This District. An interesting report of the church conditions in the Hammond district wa made by Superintendent A. T. Brigg at Crawfordsville this week. Mr. lirlggs proposed a new order o adjustment In the country district whereby little straggling churches o different denominations might join to gether as one band and In that wa do their work. "In union there 1 strength," he said, "and we should get together with other denominations an hit upon a plan by which the Inter ests of the kingdom can best be con served." Mr. Briggs showed his faith in the Kankakee swamps and in Gary, the new city of magic as he called It. "Th Kankakee valley, once the Jest nn by-word of the traveler and the rendev ous of frogs and wild grass and gam Is being transformed Into fertile farm and growing villages," he said. "Th time Is not far distant when the Kan kakee swamps will be the gardens sup pylng vegetables for the markets of Gary, East Chicago and Hammond. For this reason we must pay particular attention t6 the little churches we have scattered throughout this territory. These churches are largely manned by students of theology at Evanston. At Gary, the Rev. Mr. Briggs said. the need there as a church is critical and even pathetic. Gary Is a city of 12,000 people, with the promise of 25,000 next year. "We have a church there with a membership of ninety persons," said Mr. Briggs, "and we have a church site. The site was the gift of Judge Gary. Our crying need Is a modern church edifice." There are thirty-six pastors In the Hammond district. During the year J. P. Evans resigned the Rose Lawn circuit and A. L Clark asked to be re lieved at Wolcott. Nels Fannebust succeeded Mr. Evans and A. R. Haiship, of the Boston Theological seminary, took Mr. Clark's place. George P. Howard, of LaCrosse, was transferred to South America, after completing the course at Garret Bible Institute and Arthur Heinline, another Garret student, took his place. Six Hundred Conversions. Mr. Briggs reported six hundred con versions In liis district during the vear, the largest number beinp at Whiting. Seventy were converted there, fifty at Hammond, forty-five at Indiana Harbor and nearly seventy at East Chicago. At Valparaiso the church has th distinction of having the largest Bible class in the conference, enrolling four hundred. Michigan City has one hundred in its Epworth league, the largest in the conference. There has been $2,500 spent on improvements at Crown Point, while Brooke and Morocco both repaired their churchfs extensively. Improvements were made at the churches at Hobart and Merryville to the value of $400, while Lowell spent $50 on improvements. A new chapel, costing $900, was put in the church at Hammond. Kentland has $1,600 raised for a new building. Plans are under way for a $3,000 church at Gary. Five of the eight counties In the Hammond district are "dry." The "wet" ones are Lake, Porter and LaPorte.

ibig criminal docket

AT- OPENING The first three days of the new term of the Lake superior court, which begins Monday, after the long summer acation, will be taken up exclusively with the trial of criminal cases that originated in Gary. After the vacation the Lake superior court will open in Hammond on Mon day, and Monday and Tuesday will be taken up with the preliminary work necessary to the opening of the term. On Wednesday the trial of the first batch of Gary criminal cases will be taken up. Thursday and Friday will also be devoted to the Gary criminal cases, and the entire following week will be taken up with the trial of criminal cases from the rest of the county. In the Gary grist there appears a few familiar names, including that of the notorious David Johnson and the equal ly notorious William Piper. Most of the cases, however, are unimportant, and for the first time In a number of years there are no murder cases pend ing. UTS TAFT TO We protest with vigor and determ ination against the Chicago proposal to entertain President Taft during his stay In that city wih an onion dinner. This is a wholly unjustifiable trans gression on the rights of Wolf Lake, Ind., which, as every one knows outside of darkest Chicago Invented the onlonfest, and annually pulls off such a function with fine odor and great eclat. For one thing It would be entirely hopeless for Chicago to attempt to compete with Waif Lake either In the production or preparation of onions for the table. Wolf Lake raises every kind that the bounty of nature or the Ingenuity of man has devised. There they will be found round, flat and long; red, white and blue; wireless, chalnless and nonsparkling. with either clutch or friction gear; onions that would not offend the most sensitive olfactory nerves and others that must be kept In chains, with the lid on. If the president wants onions that are onions let his itinerary be changed so that he may stop at Wolf Lake instead of Chicago. The folks there will I I EEA.UD BY RUBE. There was no balloon ascension today. What with politics and their regu lar duties several members of the local police force are working overtime. Vacation days are over. We know they will be pleased to see you in the pew tomorrow. . Mr. Kliver might also spend a little more time tending to his duties as building commissioner. Gary restauranters had better beware of the man who pays for his meals by flashing a six-shooter. Another cutting scrap occurred yesterday among the "bad negroes," substantiates the report that they are still with us. There is one thing sure, nobody can deny that Dr. Cook checked in first.

WOLF LIE ONIONS

be tickeled to death to see him, and will hand him such an entertainment as he has never exxperlenced In all his extended travels. To be sure there are certain Chicago etymologists who offer the unsupported theory that "Chicago" was orglnally an Indian word, meaning "onion," and on this basis argue that the city has some rights In the premises. But we can not agree with this. Whatever Chicago may have meant in Indian, it means nothing but business in late American, and we strongly suspect that this effort to infringe on the rights of Wolf Iake is only another one of its notorious attempts to advertise itself. If Chicago must entertain the president, let it take him out to the stock yards or show him how the Masonic temple turns round on a pivot, but let it not futllely attempt the sort of hospitality tha only Wolf Lake is equal to. We sincerely hope to hear nothing more of the threatened transgression, and besides we do not believe that the president would stand for It for a moment. MASS MEETING. (Special to The Times.) East Chicago, Ind., Sept. 11. A mass meeting will be held this evening at 8o'clock at which the candidacy of D. J. Reid for mayor will be announced. The meeting will take place at Weiland's hall and will be addressed by a number of republican orators.

A number of other speakers will also speak, extolling the qualifications of the man with whos efollowlng they have cast their lot. ireat Opportunity FOR INVESTORS AT SUPERIOR, WISCONSIN THE NEW STEEL CENTER Adjoining property advancing; rapidly.
