BALLOT?
Taggart Democrats Worrying Not a Little Over the Fact That They May Not Be Able to Connect For Sam Ralston. TIMES BlREAl, AT STATE CAPITAU Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 11. One of the things that is causing some anxiety among the Taggart democrats is whether they will be able to nominate Samuel M. Ralston for governor on the first ballot in the democratic state convention. They are beginning to realize that unless they make the nomination right off the bat, on the first ballot, there is a chance that they may not be able to land him at all. On the sur face there is every indication that Ralston will be nominated easily, but some of the antl-Taggart people are saying that unless the nomination is made on the first ballot it may not be made at all. It is known that some of the coun ties of the state will give Ralston their vote' on the first ballot, but that they will not go beyond the first ballot for him. It Is known, too, that leaders of the party In some of the counties have approached certain -men and urged them to get into the race for governor. so they could vote for them. As was stated in these - dispatches several days ago, there Is a movement on foot to bring out several "favorite son candidates for the purpose or holding away from Ralston on the first ballot the votes of counties which oth erwise -would vote for him. This plan is in line with the talk that unless Ralston Is nomtnaten on the first ballot he may not be nominated at all. There is some talk about a candidate for governor in this city, but no name has yet been mentioned. The purpose of this move would be to break the Marion county delegation, which is sup posed to be controlled by Taggart and Which he will throw to Ralston. It Is ngured that If Marlon county had a candidate for the nomination Taggart could not hold a solid delegation from this county, because there are portions of the city and county in which the antl-Taggart forces can easily elect delegates of their own, and they would d6 It If this county had a candidate. This situation has caused -the Tag gart-democrats to sit up and take notice of the possibilities of the con-en-tion, and it may be expected that they will do their best to head off any such break as that one. Sorn of the anti-Taggart democrats over the state are still hopping mad (Continued on page 8.) traction roads, of which J. T. McKary is chairman, stated that the right of way has been .secured from Chicago to Rensselaer, from Monticello to Lafayette and from Monticello part of thie way to Cass county. The route of the proposed road parallels the Panhandle from Monticello, entering Cass county at Lake Clott and running through Jackson and Noble townships to Logansport." State Chemist Subpoenaed. The three state cases against John Powell, E. B. Cross and W. It. Norman, which were filed by State Food Inspector F. W Tucker, came up for trial In Judge Ames' court yesterday afternoon. Attorneys in the cae asked for a continuance and the case was reset for Wednesday, Jan. 31. A subpoena will be served on State Chemist Bishop, who will be called to examine the milk. . Funeral of Girl. .The funeral of Ruth Zoll will be held from the family residence on Indiana avenue Friday afternoon at 2 O'clock. The Rev. Hunt of Chicago will conduct the services and interment will occur at Otk Hilt cemetery. A Quiet' Celebration. This Is the holiday week of the Greek Catholics, last Sunday having been their Christmas and next Sunday their Xew Year's day. Most of the Greek Catholics in Hammond are located in the Standard Steel Car district, and thus far their celebrations have been very quiet. In former years when the district was nore densely populated disturbances during this period were not uncommon. The class of people now in tho Standard is a different one from the floating element which drifts in during the prosperous time., tho former being a home-owning and lawabiding citizenship.

Two serious fires have resulted here in the last twenty-four hours from the result of thawing out water pipes. About 8:30 yesterday morning the residence of Mrs. Barbara Fleffer on John street was damaged to tho extent of $300 from the result of thawing out a water pipe.

Tho Whiting and Robertsdale departments worked from two o'clock until 6 o'clock this morning and extinguished the flames after a $500 damage had been done. The fire started from the result of thawing out a water pipe about 6 o'clock last night. The basement was covered with tar paper which the sparks set fire to. TRIAL POSTPONEMENT CAUSES REGRET . .namwanmaa Gary. People Wanted to Have the Mess Cleared Away. Although many of the defense in the Gary bribery trials look upon the postponement of all cases until March as a most desirable happening, yet some of the more suspicious are inclined to view the announcement of the prosecution, as a gift horse which might be well worth a thorough examination before any hbrns of Joy are sounded in honor of the delay. Hodges Is Disappointed. "As far' as I am concerned," said Don't Wear A Truss After Thirty Years Experience I Have Made A New Discovery For Men, Women or Children That Cures Rupture.

Leaders In Discussion: Dr. B. O. C. Special Prosecutor Hodges this morning, "the delay comes as a surprise end disappointment. The reason of it is that Judge Van Fleet has a heavy doc ket In his Elkhart court and it has precedence over the Gary cases." Mr. Hodges would not talk on the subject of the reported move of the state investigating the alleged bribery of a Willlston Juror. Some people think that this is the real reason of the pause. Alderman Bowser was the next defendant to be tried and It Is understood that a far as he Is concerned he would welcome an early trial. However, other defendants see points won In every day of delay.
