SIX THOUSAND FOREIGN VOTES. United States Commissioner Charles Surprise reports that since the J begriming of the p-reafdentlal campaign of 1908, there hare been 6,005 foreigners naturalised in Lake county. These figures are startling in their significance. The voting population of Lake county has been Increased by 6,000 votes in a year and a half, i In view of the fact that the total vote, republican and democratic; In Lake ' county In 1906 ms 8,000 it will be seen that the naturalization of foreigners alone has brought an increase of 75 per bent in the vote of the county since that time. .. ' In a little over three years the citizenship of the county, which for- . merly consisted largely of native Americans, together with a large number of Americanized Germans, has been diluted by nearly an equal number of raw foreigners who are not yet even beginning to be susceptible to the assimilative process. As a result of this wholesale naturalization of foreigners the cltlzenship of Lake county now"""(Sbnsists of a large amount of amalgam with a ! thm coating of silver. The 1847 Rogers Brothers form of citizenship has been substituted for the sterling article. i The effect on the political situation remains to be seen. As the for elgn. population grows the issues of the campaign will . become less and i less Important, locally, and the question of controlling this or that boardling house boss or this or that foreign ward healer, will absorb the attention 'of the leaders in both political parties. ' .' It was clearly demonstrated in the last municipal campaign In Hamixnond that the wise course for the politician who is after results is to forget his platform and open his purse. But the most important feature of the wholesale naturalization of foreigners is the fact that these 6.000 votes might control the county election and in a doubtful state like Indiana control the state elections, which, in turn, might, In a national campaign like that in 1896, mean the success or the defeat of the national ticket. Bryan might have been president of the United States In 1896 with the

They were whipped decisively in their attempt to gain control of the party, and if their motive really is a good one for the republican party they will put
the brake on party dissension and again -line up with the ranks which

The proposition is plain. The bolters have tried their strength and admitted that they were outnumbered five to one. This faction consists
of those who are dissattfied with the present republican leaders, and they have sacrificed party principles for personal enmity. It would be Impossible to choose a man. or set of men, to lead the party, which would be acceptable
