The plans are completed for the Lake County Soldies' association and encampment at the fair grounds on Thursday, and a fine program has been prepared for the event. Crown Point people will have a good chance to display their hospitality to the visiting soldiers and everything possible should be done to make them both welcome and comfortable. The thinning ranks are mute evidence of the fact that luch occasions cannot be held for many more years, and it is up to those who are left to show the honor and respect which the boys in blue deserve. Programs for the Woman's Study club will be Issued from the press this week, and the club will soon take up lis year's course of study. The Crown Point graded schools commenced yesterday and the attendance Is said to be above the average of other years.

TIMES HI' HE A l. AT STATE CAPITA I.. Indianapolis, lnd., Sept. 12. Tom Taggart, and Senator Steven Fleming, the two mainsprings in the Democratic perty in Indiana, spent a pleasant t- :i days together at French I4ck, where a metropolitan newspaper can always

send a correspondent and find gambling, i Roger Sullivan, boss of Illinois, wns j p;esent once during the ten days, am as o result there is much dope on whr.r. j the three talked out. Some people have

figured out that Taggart was the head end front of the little conferences, ar.u that he was in them for the purpose of trying to lay a plan to dump Governor Marshall at the psyschological moment and throw the Indiana delegation to ths Lfmocratlc national convention to Governor Harmon, of Ohio. "Absolutely untrue," denied Taggart, vigorously. Fleming also was asked about It, and from him there cine another vigorous denial. "There is nothing In it," said Fleming. Then Fleming branched into a description of the many things that he had been doing in the ten days. "Taggart and I played golf, but we never said a word about politics In tht whole ten days I am sure. I jlye3. baseball, basketball, football, tennis, " "But don't you really think Taggait Is for Harmon?" "Taggart said he was for .Marshall for President. I don't talk to him at-out politics. Kvery day I would riin

a I out five miles, and I was really surprised the way I stood the work." "Well, both you and Taggart will be candidates for delegate to the national convention, will you not?" "I will. Taggart can speak for himst'f. I didn't know Taggart had a gymnasium at French Lick. I wrestled ' "Who will be the next Governor of Ird.ana?" ''Taggart says-vhe is for Ralston, tnd

M'llKams, champion wrestler of Australia, in his day, was there, and we were a good match." "Who wil be the next Democratic state chairman?" "Some good man. I don't know who. It's too early to think alout it now." Then Steve branched off on a talk about the days when he used to catch Doc White, now with the Chicago

White Sox. and became a title less talkative about politics. The Sixth district continues to be enlivened by the revival of the boom fc the renomination of James E. Watson for Congress. While tho newspapers of the district have been printing gossip having to do with Watson and his possi political course. Watson has been issuing daily assurances that he has no desire to get bock Into politics. In all of Watson's statements, however, there Is no affirmation of a purpose to turn down the nomination if it "comes to him finally. He said at Richmond the other day that If he were to be tendered the nomination at this time he would, go on the floor of the convention and decline It with thanks. Out he did not say what ho would do in case a future convention gave him a chance to "come back." At Richmond Watson said he had received several hundred letters and telegrams urging him to get Into the raco for Congress. - "I informed one and all of them." he said, "that I appreciated the confidence they placed In me. but that I had no

desire to Indulge, in the political game." He was quoted further as saying:

"I have lenrned that there Is nothing in politics. I am in something more

profitable."

According to press reports Watson further declared that he believed he

was as strong In the Sixth district as

he was at any time durinsr his active

political career. He was disposed, however, to except Wayno county from that statement. Ho ended by saying: . "At this time I would not announce my candidacy." While Watson is thus showing the coyness which Is so natural In the political aspirant, his staunch friends in Rush country are giving all Inquirers the positive assurance that Watson wil' be a candidate for the nomination for Congress from the Sixth district. One

I of the leading Republicans of Watsons

home county is authority for the positive declaration that Watson will make the race. The Watson talk is highly interesting to. the friends of Tom Mull, of Manilla, Rush county.

me way Tor Watson poslbllities. j The Mull talk Is based on pretty good, political grounds. Tom Mull Is a; brother of Lon Mull, a Rush county ! Democrat, wno ran eginc Kurin and ' Gray in 1910 for the Congressional

nomination that finally went to Gray. Lon Mull was the Tagart candidate. Kuhn was the anti-Taggart fighter. Between the two they nominated Finley Gray, much to the chagrin of the Taggart crowd. Sixth district Republicans have been figuring recently that with Gray renominated on the Democratic side, it

would be a pretty good plan In a po- j lltical way to nominate Tom Mull to j make the race on the Republican side

against Gray. They feel that Lon Mull j

would not be likely to le so active

against nis own brother as he might be

against some other Republican, and they believe Tom Mull would be able In

defeat Gray easily.

The objection of the Watson boom into the situation has had a tendency to shift the talk, at least for a time. Another name that is being mf-ntione.I

in connection with the conKTsgionnl t

nomination is that of Will Hough of Greenfield.

A. C. Cavins, who was deputy at-1 torney general under James Bingham, and who was a member of the state senate for two sessions, has just returned from a trip to Colorado, and he came back with the intention of starting a boom for State Senator Daniel Crumpacker, of Laporte county, for the Republican nomination for Governor. But he says when he got bak he found a good sized bom already on the way. Cavins says the Idea struck him that next year would be a good year for the Republicans to nominate a farmer for Governor, and that Crumpacker was the most available man for the place. The fact Is that there has been much favorable comment on the Crumpacker boom among the politicians. They recognize him as a man of high character, a solid Republican. honest, straight, capable and with a great deal of experience in state affairs. During his caret !n the state senate he has

I been one of the party leaders there.

Word has been received here, that the Gary Works team is likely to become a member of the Northern Indiana Baseball association, at the close of this season. It has been rumored for some time that such is the .iesire of the management, and if so, the organization may receive its franchise in a novel manner. Buck Velner or the present Gary

the Gary Works team getting forth that he, would be pleased to do battle with

the franchise is to be theirs, according

to the terms of the challenge. Mr. Velner when seen by a Times man regarding the proposition had not received an acceptani-e to his challenge, but he expected to do so within a day or two.
