All these returns will be flashed by stereopticon upon a screen from the Hammond building on Hohman street. THE TIMES will be in direct communication with every precinct in Iake County. The service it will have from the country at large will be the best obtainable. " These t returns will be flashed simultaneously to the GARY TIMES and all election returns will be given also at the office of the GARY TIMES in the Reynold's building.

They will also be given to all cities in Lake county where THE TIMES has an office. The thousands of patrons of THE TIMES newspapers are invit ed to make free use of these returns from the nearest point ob tainable. Rural mail route patrons of this paper who have telephone communication with any office of this paper in any part of thcounty will be given the fullest informa tion as it comes to THE TIMES. LITHE HUPPS A7TRAGT L01 OF ATTENTION Thirty Hupmobiles were driven through to Hammond from Detroit and arrived here: yesterday at 12:15. In alt lortjjeA'eu ai,.-stArtiHl -from Detrott; but part of them dropped out of the tour as their drivers arrived at their destination along the route. The cars were all in charge of agents in the various cities in this part of the state. The cars acted as an escort for the car which will make a tour of the entire world. The car is in charge of J. R. Drake, the treasurer of the Hupp Motor company; T. M. JIanlon, mechanical expert, and Thomas C. Jones, the publicity agent. The tour of the world will require two years. Snow will be encountered between here and San Francisco and the trip westward from San Francisco will be by boat to Honolulu. Dr. H. G. Merz was a member of the party and drove his new coupe from Detroit to Hammond. 11010 H. S. TEAM IS BEATE1 The football team representing the Hammond high school was defeated by the South Bend high schol team last Saturday by the score of 17 to 6. The Hammond boys say they were fairly and squarely beaten and attribute it to the fact that they did not get into the game soon enough. Souh Bend won the game in the first half. Two drop kicks in quick succession resulted in a score of 6 for the South Bend team. Then the captain of the South Bend team got the ball on a trick forward pass and made a 40-yard run for a touchdown. South Bend failed to kick goal and that made five more points or eleven in a'l. Another six points- were added in the tirt half by South Bend as a result of a successful forward pass. In the second half Hammond went into the game with the determination to make a better showing. Crumpacker got the ball and made a run of 60 yards for a touchdown. Graves kicked goal and this gave Hammond its six points. Special mention was made of the playing of Graves, who not only made consistent gains, but played a great defensive game. In spite of the fact that the Hammond team was outweighed by South Bend, it is believed that Hammond could have kept the score down if it had played with the same vigor in the first half that it did In the second. ARRESTED IN RICHMOND Robert McKellits. Joseph Marquette and Alvin James, three convicts who participated in the Marion county jail delivery, were arrested at Richmond. Ind., late last night. The Hammond police had been notified of the delivery and were on the lookout. ARE YOU TAKING THE TIMES?

Washington police are looking for a man and woman who were passengers aboard a New YorkWashington train with Miss Ruth Wynne, daughter of Robert J. Wynne, former Postmaster General and American consul to London. She thinks the two made away' with a $500 diamond ring. She left it in a lavatory on the train. Ott Klemperer, who for the paet two" or "trIreT years h.as been the man-: ager of the furniture department of the Lion store, is out and will be replaced by another man. The fact became known when an advertisement appeared in one of the Chicago papers in which Kaufmann & Wolf announced their intention of employing a manager for the furniture department. Leo AVolf, a member of the firm, was asked thi morning if it was true that Otto Klemperer had been asked to resign. "We are looking for a man to take Klemperer's place," said Mr. Wolf, "and the change will be made in the near future." Other than this Mr. Wolf would make no explanation. He refused to comment on the matter, and stated that it was not necessary for him to make any explanation of the matter. Mr. Klemperer, in an interview this morning, said that, according to his contract, his time with the Lion store expires Jan. 1. "I have decided to go into business for myself in Chicago," said Mr. Klemperer, "and-that explains the severance of my connection with the Lion store. These plans have been maturing for some time, and were known to some of my friends." The news that Mr. Klemperer would leave is received with regret in a large circle of friends. During his comparative brief residence here he has made many of them, and made himulf a factor in. business and social cicles. H FORGET THE LITTLE BALLOT TUEB. Regardless of political affiliations the Lake county voter should write a "yes" in the jpace at the bottom of the ballot which enables him to vote for the constitutional amendment, which will raise the qualifications for the practice of law. , Every reputable lawyer in Lake county, in both political parties, is in favor of this amendment. It simply enables the state legislature to pass a law stipulating the requirements for the practice of law in this state. On several other occasions this ballot has been a part of the regular ballot, but the indifference of the people has resulted in their ignoring it. The politician who handled the foreign vote has not been concerned about it and only the thoughtful voter has taken the trouble to express his opinion about it. This is in the nature of a referen dum vote, and the people of Indiana nave not yet become accustomed to a referendum on matters of public interest. In Oregon and other states in the Union, as many as ten or fifteen ques tions have been or will be submitted to the people, on little ballots. The question of raising the standards of elegibility for aspirants to admission to the bar is the queation of interest in Indiana and the voter is asked not to forget to vote "yess" on the little bal lot.

WILL GO II FOR SELF

DO!

TO THE VOTER. Dear Friend When you vote the republican ticket on Tuesday, Nov, 8, you will be taking no chances. You will vote for good men nominated by the people. When you vote for these men you will ihave the satisfaction of knowing that they represent the fundamental principles upon which the prosperity f the country stands today. There iS but one issue in the present campaign promise versus performance. The only question you have to decide is whether you wish to risk a certainty against an untried theory. -V VThere is nothing fanciful nor theoretical in th republican claim upon your" support. It is just a plain, simple, proved -presentation of facts which cannot be successfully disputed. This letter will not appeal to your imagination. It will recall to your mind some facts which you can very easily verify. , Wages are hljgh higher than ever before in the hjetory of the country. Living conditions are better than ever before and tfrey are still improving. Our pure food laws prove con

clusively that 'fcetter foods are demanded. Our shorter hours of labor show that our-; people have forever declared against cheap labor. If you will think back to the days of cheap living you wilUremember that labor was cheap, so cheap that millions of men were out f vork7 Coiey's army had many recruits in those days. Prices were very low, the cost of living was so low that many people couldn't afford to live at all. It was the day of the unemployed, the soup house, a depleted treasury and big bond issues. The people had been experimenting, f They were trying to make promises do the work of performance. In Munsey's magazine for November, Frank A. Munsey says: "I somehow fancy that bigger wages and a more generous expenditure tend to shape up a bigger race of people, a race jpf greater confidence and of more; self-respect which means a better citizenship." It is a thought well ',wrth considering Cheapness and prosperity have never gone together. Jit is much easier to have cheapness than prosperity. A high wage scale means an intelligent understanding of economic corrditions. A high wage scale means a better standardof living. The republican party stands for a high wage scale, because it enables the worker to. maintain for himself and his family ft standing of living befitting an American citizen. It means better educational opportunities for the children. ', It means high"er grade men aJi"JJ?ri jL!th om ing generafrbn.'i ft'is asy to secure" cheapness cheap food, cheap labor, cheap men. They all go together. The republican party has helped them go together and will continue to keep them going. The republican party will not cease its efforts until they are gone never to return. You will help, of course, to make the going good. As a thinking man you will vote as your judgment directs. This letter is merely to suggest an investigation of the facts. The progressive legislation of this country for half a century is the result of the work of the republican party. The material prosperity of the country has reached its highest mark under republican auspices. In every instance the republican party has been a party of performance. And the performance of the republican party has always spelled prosperity GAVIT MEETING AT WHITING Whiting, Ind., Nov. 7. The closing of campaign in AVhiting .will take place this evening when the republicans hold a meeting at Vater's skating rink at 7:30 4'clock. It will be a Gavit meeting and an address will be made by the candidate for senator, who also extends an invitation to the ladies to attend. There will be music by the senatorial quartet. This will be Mr. Gavit's first campaign address to the people of Whiting, and an attendance is expected which will be equal to that of the Beveridge meeting. TIMES WANT ADS ARE FOR SERVICE TO YOU MORLEY HONORED BY GREAT BRITAIN John Morley, historian and biographer, also an English viscount, has Just been relieved as secretary of "state for India and has been assigned a new office, that of Lord President of the Council, by the English government. The change was one of several in. a shifting of ibe Asauith cabinet.

m ii a PREDICTION Chairman John Gavit of Lake County Democrats Gives His Estimate on Various Majorities East Chicago Conceded. "Hammond will turn out a democratic majority of from five to seven hundred. The democratic majority in Gary will range from five hundred to a thousand; Whiting will have a democratic majority of two hundred and Indiana Harbor, one hundred and fifty. In East Chicago the republican majority will be cut down to two hundred. We will have our regular quota of democratic votes in the south end o(f the county." This was the pre-election statement of John A. Gavit, democratic county chairman. Should Peterson, Rohde, and the democratic ticket go down in defeat tomorrow John Gavit will be one of the most surprised men in the party. He was confident this morning. His action and demeanor indicated as much. He is confident about John B. Peterson but would make no prediction for him over the district.. In Lake County, he will lead the ticket, in Mr. Gavifs estimation. John Rohde is the next best bet from a democratic standpoint. Rohde's friends figure him to carry Hammond- by a thousand votes. At democratic headquarters there was little doing this morning. The last message to the party workers had been delivered yesterday afternoon at a big meeting. John B. Peterson, plays his last card this evening at a meeting in Gary. Through the medium of The Times' remarkable facilities for securing news from the city, county, state and nation the people of Hammond will have more complete election returns than ever before. The Times' service will be provided in three places in Hammond. . The Times outdoor bulletin re(turns will be flashed on a curtain on the Rimbach block, opposite the Hammond building by means of a stereopticon. 2. The Times' service will be furnished to Manager Manderback of the Towle Opera House. Uncle Tom's cabin will be the atraction that night, and the returns will be read between acts. 3. The Times' service will be furnished to the University club and the members of this organization will be able to learn the returns, as fast as they come in without leaving the club rooms. The returns from the city of Tlammond will be accumulated and tabulated by The Times' staff of reporters in this city. The returns from every city, town, village and township in Lake county will be telephoned to The Times by its representatives in various parts of the county. It is a act not generally known that The Time?, has a staff or fifty reporters and correspondents in various parts of the county. The returns from the state and nation will be received by Western Union telegraph. Thb Times will get the service that is provided all of the metropolitan newspapers of the country. It will be tabulated as it comes in, so that the result at any hour in the evening may be known by making a recapitulation. In this manner The Times is in a better position to make known the results than any other newspaper in northern Indiana. It will give this information to the people of the various cities of Iake county as fast as it is received. The people in the rural district may learn the result of the election by telephoning The Times.
