Iernor and put-through by a Democratic legislature.
After the Democrats have held their
state convention and have indorsed the new constitution, they say, the Republicans should hold their convention ana say "Ves, we too, are in favor of a re
vision of the constitution, but we are in favor of having it done in the rtgnt way and not in this way "We are in
favor of calling a constitutional con-
! ventlon for th epurpose of revising the
constitution, thus giving the entire people of the state an opportunity to" have a hand in the work."
These Republicans believe this would
put the party in a strategical position
Ion the constitution question, and that
they could beat the Democrats easily
Ion that proposition.

MORE TALK OF DUBBIN'S
CANDIDACY
(Continued from Page 1.)
Anderson, one of Durbln's best political friends and workers, had been going over the state feeling out the Durbln
sentiment with a view to assiting In de
termlnlng whether the former governor ought again to be a candidate for i:it
'nomination.
----"The publication of thrs story brought
outa statement from Durbin at his home in Anderson. He was asked
"whether he would be a candidate.
"I will not be a candidate In the
usual sense," he said
"Will you please explain what you
mean by the usual snser he was
asked
" mean' he replied, "that I would not
go out to campaign for a nomination.
"That is, you would be a receptive
' candidate?"
, "w eil, I suppose tnat is what you . .would call it, but it is too early to talk
for publication." Durbin spoke emphatically concern
.ing the manner in which he would be a
candidate for governor, and it Is said that his statement caused a good aeal
,of surprise among his friends at Ander.son, for they have all along believed that he was unalterably opposed to being a candidate and that he could not under any circumstances be drawn in;to the race, either as a receptive or an
active candidate.
Just what kind of reception will
.greet Durbln's statement in Indiana Is ,a question, but Republicans know htm
to be one of the best organizers In the state and a clever politician who knows all there Is to know about the game. He has many friends in the
upon this. In consenting to the arrange
ment, and-were assured by the manage
ment : of the - ball team, - under whose auspices the. event la being punea
that they had no intention of making
the contest anything but a spirird ex
hibition. So all is serene. The event will take place in front of the grand
stand and promises to be most interest
ing to lovers of the manly art.
The game on Sunday between East
Chicago and Indiana Harbor will be of unusual Interest In asmuch as Indiana Harbor hopes by victory to tie with East Chicago for first place. The Harbor holds third place, being one game
behind East Chicago and Crown Point who are tied for first. On the other hand' the East Chicago boys are equally confident of victory and hope on the strength of Sunday's game to place a greater breach between them and the Harbor than that which now exists.
Should Indiana Harbor win and East
Chicago and the Harbor will be tied for
first place. Under these circumstances, if Crown Point which plays with Whiting on Sunday, should lose, it will be reduced to second place while Whiting
would .stand fourth- If East Chicago and Crown Point win they will still maintain their present tie for first, only widening the breach between them and the Harbor, making tne later two games behind them Instead of one.. If Crown Point and Indiana Harbor win.
It will place Crown Point In the lead
with" East Chicago and Indiana Harbor
tied for second. Interest also centers to a larger extent than usual around the HammondGary game, when the tie that now
exists between those two teams will bj
broken. For Indiana Harbor and East Chicago it may be said that both teams have materially strengthened their outfield, adding hard hittera to their batting list which will put Kelly and Coonrad to it to maintain their reputations as pitchers. Indiana Harbor has now organized a rooters club which wil try its strength against the East Chicago rooters, for the first time next Sunday. A record crowd is expected and a splendid game assured.
GARY IS
REGULAR
In addition to these there have been
in the neighborhood of 50 convictions
for misdemeanors and 20 Juvenile cases
have ben tried.
This is the best record that the
prosecuting attorney's office has ever made. In addition to these cases there
has been instituted a number of prosecutions that have attracted stare wide
attention.
Chief of Police Albert Lewis of East
Chicago was successfully impeached
Miyor A. G. Schlleker of the same city
was impeached but escaped on a tech
nicality. Most of the city officials of
East Chicago are under Indictment and
the county has been cleaned up gen
erally.
A great deal of the credit for this
record Is due to Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Ralph W. Ross, who proved to be the best find that Prosecuting Attorney Greenwald made during his term of Office.
Ross had no better opportunities than
the rest of the prosecutors but he took
advantage of them. J. D. Kennedy in East Chicago did most of the work on the East Chicago indictment cases.
When Ross came to Hammond be was
practically unknown but he soon prov
ed to be one of the best criminal lawyers in the country and for the first time in years the prosecutor's office had a match for such clever criminal lawyers as r. E. Boose, Joseph Conroy and W. J. McAIeer.
SEA- PORT
Gary harbor today presented a real marine appearance for there is now docked . four vessels, the largest number that has ever been in the harbor. The steamers in the harbor are the Selivert Eddy which arrived yesterday with ore, the Joliet Crerar which comes to take on a load of billets for Canada, the Xlagra and the Isaac L. El wood. Old timers who saw the ships in port recalled the harbors of New England. Even Broadway has a sea town appearance today when large groups of Jacll tars were abroad on the streets.
