Next Friday night at . 8 o'clock the

Gary common council will essay to elect a successor to Alderman-at-Iarke Anton Baukus, exsaloonkeeper and alleged bond Jumper wio Is now at large somewhere In this wide world. It is more than probable that the council will have more balloting and deadlocking than does a state legislature when it tries to name an United State senator. There are candidates gralore and each of the eight council members is said to have a favorite. Declare Sent Vacant. At a special meeting last night the council passed n resolution vacating the missing Mr. Baukus" seat. Today or to. morrow City Clerk Moo's will advertise rli notice of election and the time between now and Friday, will be devoted " to electioneering. Among the candidates for the seat are George Hunter, manager of the American Bridge company plant; Peter Lamb, a contractor for the steel com

pany: Harry! Mail, oounty councilman; John Bennett, saloorceper and republican boss in the "patch." and other republicans Joe Steiner. Sam Muscat, an old furniture vendor; Peter Juric, Aug. Uecker, who used to drive, a beer wagon 5n Tollpston. and numerous other democratic patriots, rot forgetting former . Town Trustee Milliard Caldwell, a demo-republican. Of the candidates Keeker seems to i have a coupn- of votes lined up. If the council gts into a deadlock Mayor TCnotts will have the deciding vote. It is expected that Alderman FLowley and Bowser, steel company employes. ' and -Alderman Feuer will be favorable to any steel company candidate.

from some old Hoosier strong hold to a new Pennsylvania city a poll taken

there would find very little sentiment for Secretary of State Philander Knox, ! who has been mentioned as the keystone state's candidate. - 1 LAFOLLETTE A few' college men and' every man seen who is from Wisconsin are strong for the Badger stats senator. LaFollette supporters are more enthusiastic over their man than adherents of other candidates are for theirs. It is apparent that once a' voter knows LaFollette or see his work that he ffains his confidence at once. IFollette has never been in Gary and a visit of his would no doubt - increase his strength quite materially. CT'MMINGS One man from Iowa expressed himself for his home state senator. . . .

not made up his mind yet. Nearly one-

fifth of those approached are undecided

on their candidates. " l Steel Trimt Wauls T. n. - A poll was taken at one ol the daiiy luncheon meeting.- at one of the six plants of the United States Steel corporation in Gary. There were thirt.y- . six officials sitting: nt the tables. Of this number thirty were for Roosevelt, three for LaKolIette and tlire were im'decided but it is a significant fact that not one expressed himself for Taft. These officials invariably have a lot

employes Roseveit was the favorite and not a Taft expression was heard. Old Timer Favor Tft. Old time republicans, doctors, lawyers and a lot of business men believe In President Taft's sincerity and they are loud in the praise of his administration 'and. strong in the denuncaton of Roosevelt's 'hot air" as many of them ternied it. 'Taft is doing wha'. Tioosevelt talked so much about doing but which he failed to do." was th

universal expression among this group, y Of one group of ten steel workers seven were for Roosevelt and three were for Taft. V'orkrnen on buildings favored the Rough Rider coloned overlhe

present' oc:upant of the presidential chair. There was a more equable division in their opinion of the two principal candidates. Foreign I,eadra Favor Tft. On the other hand a random poll taken amo:ag some of the committeemen and active party workers in

Gary's "patch." where several thousand foreign voters live seventy per cent were 1'or Taft and only thirty per cent were for Roosevelt. Very little was known of Beveridge or LaFoIlette. No man ia this group who was . Intervied, Is in the steel business. Some may account for this strong leaning

toward Taft because in, the foreign quarter "they are always with the mau in power." Insight On Tonng Voter. To get an inside track on the young voters Umpleby's pool room a gather

a pro-Roosevelt sentiment among the

bankers and steel officials. Taft men in Gary say that the -steel trust wants Roosevelt back because of his attitude towards them-- his favoring he absorption by the steel trust of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company In 1907. On the cither hand Taft's steel trust dissolu

six industries and each of these six industries in Garyj belong to . subsidiary companies of the steel trust and they

are made joint defendants with the parent corporation. ,Tet, on the other hand. Roosevelt Is almost as popular among those who are not officers. Whether there Is a feeling of. resentment towards Taft for his directing a disolution suit that strikes so closel.7 at" home or whether It is Teddy's old

time popularity which was always hiri among the steel men. who do the actual

toiling has yet to be analysed.

In any event, Roosevelt's nomination, as far as Gary -steel .workers seem to

be. concerned, appears to be a favorite in which employers as well employes agree upon. This is a. case where the same candidate, is the choice of capital

as well , as of labor. ( " , To put it in the words of 1 a small Gary capitalist: "Roosevelt is the one man who can preserve an equable balance between labor and capital; T&f. can't.", . ....

they have been looking for.

But LaFoIlette is like Roosevelt in

the composite public estimate. Half of the people of Hammond are damning

Roosevelt and the other half idolizes

him.

'Wherever a LaFoIlette supporter Is

found he is a warm adherent of the

Wisconsin man. But the republicans who are opposed to "the republican so

cialist" as they sneeringly refer to him are " rabid In their .opposition to

him. Teddy la ronwlar.

LaFoIlette gains a great deal of his support for the reason that he typifies the radical spirit in the republican

party. " The : conservatives say Taft is good enough for them and that he should be elected in the interests of business which could not stand . an

other four years of agitation. The

radicals flock to LaFoIlette in the be

lief that It i takes a drastic remedy to

correct a deep seated trouble.

And where does Roosevelt stand? It is safe to say that were he to announce his candidacy for . the nomination to

morrow he would get three fourths of the "Republican votes in Hammond. The

fact that he polled only 95 votes out of

over 500 is not a criterion of his

strength. -

The average republican does not be

stead of giving Roosevelt a . compli

from the taking of this unofficial pri

Real Estate Authorities in Gary Maintain That Washington Street Will Not Be

Opened Through For Many

Years to Come.

Competent " real estate authorities

maintain that," although the ary board of public works Is making ta move to

open up Washington street, the bust

ness ' thoroughfare west of Broadway

from the Grand Calumet river across all railroads, track elevations, the Lit

tle Calumet river and to the city lim

its, a distance of six miles, this will not

be done for many years.

Reasons against the creation of an

other six-mile business thoroughfare

a few hundred feet distant and paral

leling Broadway's entire length in the

city are listed as follows:

'o Xeed for Opening.

1. Broadway, the main trade artery

of the city, is only built up for o'ne .1 hivA t9 its Hlnt a ni-o

f f Th creation of n new lenct.hv

north and south thoroughfare would be

a waste of money,-

3. Gary needs more east and west

thoroughfares for instance, there is only one street to Tolleston and this

has no sidewalks.

4. Just how the street would be

opened across the Little Calumet is ye

to be explained. The county commis

sioners would hardly tax the county

for another bridge within a. stone'

throw of the new costly Broadway

bridge, when Black Oak, East Gary and other parts of the county are in need

qf new bridges.

Illinois Law an Obstruction.

5. It is maintained that no street

can be run through property on th

south bank of the Little Calumet river,

as the owner Is insane, resides in Chi cago, and under" the Illinois law, neith

er he nor his conservator can wholly

consent to the opening and even if i

was done should the insane owner re

gain his reason he could close up the

street at w"ill.
