It will be a landslide next Tuesday and mine will be the majority on Joint ballot when the legislature meets in January. The people are with us and it is the votes of the people that I ask. SENATOR A. J. BEVERIDGE. In a most remarkable and spectacular trip across Lake and Porter Counties and back again and then again across, Senator Albert J. Beveridge yesterday drew heavily on his amazing reserve of vitality in order to reach at different points fully ten thousand eager people who were swept into the republican . band , enthusiasm.l Senator Beveridge's visit to this region cinched the election of Frank N. Gavit, Michael Grimmer and Willard B. VanHorne, the men who are pledged to vote for him in January, the splendid support he gave Congressman Crumpacker insures the latter a splendid majority in Lake and Porter Counties. His campaigning was a revelation and an inspiration. " AX ARDUOUS DAT. Though yesterday was by no .means an unusual one as far as number of speeches is concerned, it was particularly arduous for Senator Beveridge, from a point of covering ground. Automobiles, special interurban cars and flyers were used to make connections. Nothing went amiss. The credit of engineering the Beveridge tour yesterday belongs to F. R. Schaaf, whose schedule rarely fell behind and only then through some untoward event. Both the senator and his right hand man, Col. Powell of Indianapolis, were emphatic -ffv their praise of the Lake county chairman. WITVOUP AT GARY. The trip began at Hammond and wound up at Gary. Senator Beveridge and his party lunched at the Hotel Majestic at Hammond after their arrival from Indianapolis on the 11:23 Monon. Senator Beveridge met Judge Crumpacker, who was on his way to Monticello, , In the lobby of the hotel. A. M. Turner, president of the First National bank, was among the first to pay his compliments to the senator. BUTLER FACING DAMAGE ACTION Alleging Nicholas Murray Butler, v president of Columbia University, Elandered him in connection with the breach of promise suit of Esther Quinn, Professor Harry Thurston Peck, dismissed Columbia Latin professor, has sued for $50,000 damages.

Stirring: Plea For

KNOWS JUDGE CRUMPACKER WILL BE VITH HIM. "Vote for Edgar D. Crumpacker the man who did you faithful service, do not vote for a man who now represents and would at Washington be with those same "interests" that have fought me and whom I fought. If you believe that I am fighting your battle do not send to Washington a man upon whom I cannot count, a man who would give his support to the invisible government, the bi-partisan reactionaries. The democrats now in Congress have given and will give the measures for which we are fighting, no quarter. Why his support (J. B. Peterson) would be a broken straw in a forest, among the democrats in Washington. If I did not know that Judge Crumpacker would not be with me in these fights to come, I would not be here asking you to vote for him." SENATOR A. J. BEVERIDGE, In Lake County. When the Beveridge party arrived at Valparaiso they found fully 2,500 people gathered in and about the Memorial opera house, and wild was th enthusiasm with which Senator Beveridge was cheered. Judge W. C. McMahan of Crown Point was one of the first to greet the aerator. He was inf dncl. -by- Prsf . IVatvietsr v cC VTfrarraiso university, and said in part: TO STOP PLUNDER. "We war not only to end the robbery of the citizen, but that confederacy ot plunder, the 'tnvintble government.' , "We do battle not only to end the control of the people'a laws by that 'invisible government, but our fight meaan even more than all this. "We atrlve to stop the spread of and to destroy a atate of mind which, if It becomes general and permanent, vrlll make the 'citizen Indifferent to his fate, content with his vassalage. "The Invisible government spreads a creeping paralysis or civic numbness among the people through Its agents and connections in a thousand ways and ceaselessly it tries to deaden the citizen's alertness, relax his watchfulness. THE CITIZEN ALERT. "The progressive movement Is an appeal to the citizen everywhere to throw off this creeping paralysis which is killing the civic sense In the citizen's very heart. The republic is in no danger with the citizen alert. It is in sore peril if the citizen is asleep. The old motto, 'Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty" Is no empty phrase. It applies most of all to the citizen himself. Always the citizen must keep the sent ries of civic interest and understand ing on sleepless watch at the outposts of his soul.' It was at Valparaiso that Beveridge was compelled to speak longer than first intended, and after a speech of an hour, rather than thirty minutes as first arranged, ho was taken to the 3:45 Nickel Plate flyer and brought to Hammond, where an auto met him and hurried him To Whiting where his party was entertained at the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. N. davit in most hospitable fashion. At 6:30 he spoke at the Whiting skating rink and here he said in part: WILL LEAD THE 2VATIOX. "Indiana will lead the nation in her stand for public righteousness and against the 'invisible government.' Let Indiana men and women not only hold the victory already theirs, but increase it up to the polling of the last vote. This victory will mean that Indiana's people have risen to the cleaner and higher call of the progressive movement, for that cleaner, higher call is to the heart and soul of the citizen himself." There were fully 1.500 people in the rink, and to the intense regret of the Whiting people, he was compelled to cut his speech to fifteen minutes. Whiting gave the senator a rousing reception. Red fire lined the streets to the rink and a band and quartet, gotten up by that loyal republican worker, Henry Beaubien, made an old-fashioned and a . picturesque rally out of the affair. It was the biggest political meeting in the history of Whiting by the v republicans. The immense building was completely packed with people who had gathered to hear Senator Beveridge. F. X. Gavit introduced Senator Beveridge, who crowded into his fifteen minutes a wealth of striking argument. His climax was driven home amid great applause. Then Judge H. B. Tuthill followed upon the departure of the Senator's party and extolled Senator Beveridge. , and he (Continued on page eight.)

Traveling men who travel over . the state of Indiana and who have their ' headquarters in this city report that the popularity of Senator Beveridge among the people of Indiana is one of the striking features of this campaign. They say that he is more popular in Indiana today than any other Indianian has been in man years. This feeling of admiration for Senator Beveridge, they say, is not confined to any one section of the state, neither is it confined to the cities, towns or country. It seems to be everywhere.

Tha , most outrageous and brutal robbery reported in Hammond for a long time occurred last night at 10 o'clock when two burglars entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Clyde, 415 i Sibley street, and there in the absence ! of the husband beat ip the woman and ransacked' the home for valuables. For a half .hour the unfortunate woman lay on" the kitchen floor in mortal fear of the ruffians who threatened to kill hermit she so much as whispered while they went?. from one end of the house to the other. Mrs. Cly. is. able to be around - today, but her eyes are blue from the blows she received. Find Twenty Dollars. The two burglars evidently had acquainted themselves with the territory before they made . their venture. After having assured themselves that the husband was not at home, they entered the home1 from the rear and demanded of Mrs. Clyde that she give tip "her valuables. Frightened by the behavior of the two men, .Mrs. Clyde attempted to sound the alarm, but before she could do so one ofthe ruffians was at her throat, and beating her nearly into insensibility, he left her lying" on the kitchen floor w-ith the warning that she had better not move from there' If her life be dear to her. She heeded' their warning and the fellows took their time in ransacking the house, opening every drawer and trunk and" bureau and closet which might contain valuables. " x j Neighbors Notify Police. $ '..They found a ring and about $2j inmoney.- and, i then ,letjayijg;h6 house in a. total disorder and with the final warning that she make no noise. To make sure that they had overlooked no hiding place, they even searched the clothes which the woman wore, and when she fought against them they tore j some of them from her. After the desperadoes had left, Mrs. Clyde dragged herself to a neighbor's place, where she told her story and from where the first word was sent to the police station. In the darkness the burglars had an easy escape, and this afternoon they were still at large. With no counter attractions to take away the crowds, the Klks feel themselves justified in expecting a large attendance this evening for what will positively be the last windup of the $5,000 bazaar, which has been on in the Heintz building. So much stock still remains to be disposed off that everything must go at a bargain if the Elks want to "get rid of all. Everything on the first floor will, be removed to the second floor, where it will be handy for the auctioneers and the crowds. Raffles will be there too, and he will not make much of an effort to get away liuni iii puiucjs 11115 evening, for he realizes that this will be his j last chance to have fun with the crowds. HELD FOR CHASING GIRLS Thomas Macy was held at the police station today pending an investigation for his sanity. He was arrested last night after he had given the Cal- , drone family, on South Hohman street, j a fright by chasing the two little j pirls into the house. He followed them ! into the house, where he was confrontj was peculiar. and Judge Rarfiett thought it best to give him a hearing for his sanity before passing judgment. HAD A GOOD TIME.

' A deal is about to be consummated by which two splendid industries are to be located in Hammond. Ono will employ 150 men and the other will employ 450. Nothing in the way of locating industries has so much significance since the location of the Standard Steel Car Co. The deal for the necessary land has practically been closed and only a few details remain to be attended to. It is said construction is to begin at once. This will give employment to a large number of men. So far it is impossible to make public the names of the concerns or the proposed location of the factories. The deal has been under wav for several weeks and an announcement is

expected at any time. Mayor Lawrence Becker has been instrumental in locating the concerns and part of the credit is due him. The location of these concerns will stimulate the real estate market.

Koehler, who has a meat market adjoining the Gies salcons, is suffering from shock, but is not on the road to recovery. Iuis Ward, the fourth man in the car, escaped without serious injuries. When Piper was first examined at St. Margaret's hospital is was found that a bone in his leg had been broken. This apparently was the first Injury ' that he had' received, but within the ! past forty-eight hours there was a change in his condition, and yesterday afternoon he was delirious. His father had been summoned the dav after the accident, but had gone home in the i meantime, thinking that his son would j be back at his work again in a few j weeks.
