J. B. Peterson Has a New Slogan at

Indiana Harbor and There Was Scarcely a Dry Eye Present

(Special to Thb Times.) Indiana Harbor, Oct. 14.- "Silk Stockings for the Girls" is the slogan on which John B. Peterson opened his campaign in Indiana Harbor last night. Just where Mr. Peterson got his dope, is somewhat of a mystery and that is his business," perhaps. But in the course of his remarks last night the candidate ' for repreentative in the United States congress, accused the ladies"of the Harbor of wearing cheap stockings.

IT WAS XT A RAINY NIGHT. It "was freely commented after the meeting that last night was not rainy, and trie crossings were free from mud. By what line of reasoning or observation, then did the Honorable John B. arrive at his conclusions? And why so much feeling in the matter? On the old theory that "more stayed than went out" during the course of Mr. Peterson's and the other speakers remarks, the democratic "rally" of last

night was a success. However a summing up of those who stuck and those who left the Tiall, showed but a com

paratively small balance In favor of

the stickers. . - 20O PEOPLE THERE.

Nat urally he was aroused over the matter. To have a violent death in his jurisdiction and fall to, have the police notify him of it was rather exasperating. Talks with Hoffman. Shanklin at once got into communication with Coroner Hoffman of Chica

then gave his permission for the re

The body will arrive this afternoon

and then the inquest will be held ac

cording to the manner prescribed by

law. in speaking of the case this aft

no other way out of it.

"If we were lax about these cases it would be an easy matter for some one to ship a, body into South Chicago,

get some doctor to sign a death certifl

John W. Dyer was in Hammond today and stated that the whole state of Indiana is aflame with enthusiasm for Beveridge. This is particularly true since Roosevelt made his famous tour through the state. (, Dyer says that he has been pretty close to the situation over the state, and is of the opinion that the state will go republican by a big majority. The next legislature will be republican, according to Dyer, and that will mean the return of Beveridge. Dyer thinks that the senior senator la one of the biggest men in the country today and that It would be a crime; to fall to return him to office.

At Important Meeting of the

One of tbe most effective pieces of

campaign literature used by the repub

lican state committee is the little

pamphlet entitled "Something About

Senator Albert J. Beveridge," a treatise on the life history of th esenior sena

tor.

"A farmer boy at 12, a section hand

at 13, a logger at 15, a cowboy at 21, a

lawyer at 25 and a United States sena

tor, at 36," is the way in which the

senators lire is summea up in tne booklet which has been m great de

mand. Over 100,000 of these have been

requisitioned and sent out to various

parts of the state.

The early struggles of the senator

are set forth in graphic language. His

coming to Indiana and his life as a

lawyer are mentioned and considerable space Is given to the story of how he

has fought for clean politics and honest legislation in the senate. The closing

paragraph of the story says: "He is the true type of self-made man, for he has come from the ranks of the lowly, has known the hardships of hunger and poverty, and has made his way. by the sheer use of his will and his energy. He has been true to the people, and he still sticks to his motto that "The people only are my masters, and to the people I will be true."

No less than 20,000 stood In the Circle in this city for more than an hour and listened attentively to what he had to say. In the crowd were" hundreds of democrats and their presence was taken to mean that they are deeply interested in the discussion of the Issues In this campaign, and that they have not yet made up their minds which way they will vote.

(Special to The Times.) "Whiting, Oct.14. Officer Hughes found Henry Cohlin lying on the sidewalk in front of Atkin's store about 12 o'clock on "Wednesday night. An effort to arouse him proved to no avail, and all it was able to get out of him

was "I told them I would take it, and I did."

Officer Collins came and assisted Of

ficer Hughes, and as Conlin said he wanted a doctor he was taken to a

physician's office, where it was learned that he had taken 30 grains of morphine.

After a two and one-half hour treatment he was considered out of danger, and there being no more cars or trains out of Whiting he was taken to the station where he was kept over night, and left on the morning train for his home in Grand Crossing. Conlin had plenty of money on his person, so It was not that compelled him to attempt to take his life, and all efforts failed to reveal the cause. The man said he had recently came to Grand Crossing from Hartford, iCcnn. He said he is a trained nurse I and Is employed In a Chicago hospital.

Joseph Martin and Richard L. Winkler, democratic candidates respectively for sheriff and clerk, were in Hammond yesterday in their racing auto. They made several stops, but left town again in a short time, going down State street at the rate of thirty miles an hour. It was generally thought that their speed was due to the fact that they wanted to get to Crown Point to pay their poll tax before he treasurer's office was closed for the day.
