More candidates have entered the aldermanlc arena ln Gary during the past twenty-four hours. The latest aspirant is AI Most, proprietor of the Stag hotel in South Broadway, formerly a. "member of the city council at Garrett. Mr. Most's candidacy was carefully groomed by political friends In Tenth avenue. . The new aspirant is a democrat.'

their country by filling the vacant seat of the missing Antony Baukus are quite busy. Contractor A. R. Hess, republican, who used to be an alderman at

manic votes for him. Silk Stoeklngn Are Active.
It is said that a silk stocking dele
gation from the vicinity of Jefferson park called upon Editor Homer J. Carr
yesterday and asked him to sacrifice
some of his valuable time and enter
the arena, but it is declared that Mr.
Oarr finds his time fully occupied serv
ing as an editor, a director ln several banks, and promoting the city beauti
ful movement. A second effort, so It is understood, will be made to have the editor rescind his decision and help save the city from going to the "demnltion bow-wows." However, Mr. Carr's recent statement that he Is a candidate for nothing less than the park board presidency and the fact that Gary may
have a custom house collector at $2,000 per.-may have something to do with his
declining the pro-offered crown.
If there are no deadlocks the coun
cil will fill the vacant seat tomorrow
night. There are eight men to vote on the successor and the. winner must
have five votes. Just now no one candidate has hls many. Should ,the balloting finally run four and four Mayor
Knotts will have a vote in the matter

over tha success of Taggart in grabbing the organization of the democratic state committee, and they are making a lot of trouble. All of which shows, that the factional fighting and internal scrapping is not confined exclusively to the republican party this year. The Evansville Courier, a democratic paper wihlch is supporting Boehne for the. nomination for governor with all of its might and main, has come out with an editorial attacking Taggart, and charging that he. Is ma
nipulating things so as to have himself
elected or appointed United States senator from Indiana. The Courier says:
"Tom Taggart's restless political activities are so consistent, all point o decisively to his ultimate purpose, that only those who will not see need be
deceived by them.
"Taggart's aim is a seat in the United
States senate. He wants the place
either by the appointment of a com
plalsant governor, or by securing so
strong a hold on the party organize
tlon that he can force the election
from a subservient legislature.
"To a-ccomplieh' his purpos he must
have absolute control of the organisa
tion. If, In doing so,, he defeats the party, he is, so far as his own personal interests are concerned, no worse oflt than, though the party should win and he not have complete dominanoe over It. This explains his strong arm methods ln getting control of the state organization. This explains why he has Jeopardized party success in every dis
trict in which there was a contest in
order to get control. . I
"With all of his frantic man cover
ings there was danger that control of the state committee would pass out of his hands. F. M. Griffith of the fourth district had promised to vote for Hoff
man. Taggart feared that one , vote would elect the Fort Wayne man, so he contrived to have State Auditor
O'Brien to get Griffith's proxy and de
liver the vote at the proper moment
if It wa needed.
"Why is Taggart for Ralston? He
wouldn't be If he could with safety
switch to O'Brien or any other man. He has said repeatedly that he didn't care anything especially for old Sam. And if Taggart should switch four-
fifths and more of those who are now
yelling for Ralston, would complacently flop to Boehne, or any one else Tag
gart should Indicate.
"But Ralson will serve Taggart's
purpose well enough. He always has
ln the past. In the convention of 1908
Taggart sent word to Ralston to with
draw, but the Lebanon statesman hung on. Then Taggart marched to the front of the hall, crooked his finger to Ralston in the presence of the entire convention and gave his orders In person.
Instanter, Ralston withdrew. "In 1910 he forced Ralston to make a speech against the governor's plan, when Ralston knew that Taggart expected to be the beneficiary of the defeat of the proposition to nominate a United States senator in the convention.
"There is no use of being mealymouthed about It. Senators do not live forever and there have been alarming reports about the health of one of the senators. The wily boss is not. too thin skinned to try to get his fingrs on dead men's shoes. "But, at any rate, in the course of events, there will be an election of a senator In three years. The holdover senators that will be elected next fall are important, and besides the governor's chair has a vast Influence over the legislature, if he will wield the big stick. "If Taggart succeeds in naming the state ticket from the chief executive to the judiciary in the democratic convention of March 21. he will pave the way for his entrance in the United States senate. "But, you say, if Ralston is nominated, carrying the load of Tom Tagpart and Crawford Fairbanks, he can
no: win. There Is a chance that he may, and Taggart Is taking that chance. If' he doesn't Taggart is no wcrse off than though Boehne were elected by 100,000. The party has never won in Indiana with Taggart in control. Its worst defeat was when he had complete control in 1904. It was his candidate that 'was running for the presidency, he was national chairman and the state chairman, W. H. O'Brien, was his own selection. "Nevertheless, in all these years of party defeat Taggart has grown no poorer. His financial condition has not been injured. Why should he worry (over the defeat of the democratic party 4a Indiana next year T' Y
Chicago avenue and- other real estate men have deals under way.
Real Site In Harbor. The sale' of real estate was not so active in the Harbor, in which the site.
Is really located. The Chicago newspapers had with one or two exceptions been misinformed as to the location of the site, and gave Hammond the credit but the tract is ln Indiana Harbor, near Calumet and Is bounded as follows: CUne avenue on the East, Parish avenue on the west, Chicago B. & O. Terminal tracks on the north and th Indiana Harbor Belt, the E. J. & E. and the South Shore line on the south. The tract comprises 370 acres. Figrht Pierce One. The fight to secure the locomotive works was fiercely waged for months. Those not directly engaged In it can have no conception of the tremendous Influence brought to bear on both sides by the opposing local Interests and the Chicago interests 'who were Intent upon seourlng for that city the big plant.
C. W. Hotchkiss and C. H. Geist were on the job night and day." They established headquarters in Philadelphia
with a force of clerks and stenographera which they kept busy on this proposition alone. They spared neither time, energy nor expense la advancing their cause. . If a document or a map was desired from Chicago or Indiana Harbor, Hotchkiss trussed neither to the malls nor to the express companies. He wired at once for the papers to be sent by special trusted messengers. It cost away up In the thousands to swing the deal, but It was cheap at tha. Verted la Authority. The most powerful influence imaginable was brought to bear from Chicago S. W. Vauclane. who had been vested with all but absolute authority to clos the deal at one time favored the Chicago site and he favored it strong.- All seemed lost-to everybody interested In the Indiana Harbor site, but Hotchkiss and Geist. "They kept plugging away with the tenacity of bull-dogs. Defeat was not in their vocabulary. The signing of the 'papers 'which' made the big tract in Indiana Har6or, the property of the Baldwin Locomotive works yesterday, proves what colossal grit and untiring industry ban accomplish. Nothing short Of.it would have availed anything. It Means Millions. The location of the Baldwin Locomotive werks In Indiana Harbor, means countless millions to this region.', 'If It ended with , this plant alone Its benefits would be exceeding great." but what it means with the trail of smaller industries locating here in its wake, Is beyond, the dreams , of avarice.;
In the' first place it means'that tho Buckeye Steel castings company which a. year ago bought eight-five acres for a plant in Calumet, will build as soon as the weather will permit. The concern intended to do this anyhow, but the location of the Baldwin Locomotive work hare, cinches this. Any number
of other Industries in this vicinity, and a number of factory sites will be sold almost lmediately on,, the strength of It. Many Will Profit, f But" It means more than .this. " The Industries already : located .here will profit immensely by the acquisition.
