Along about eleven o'clock in the morning a couple of long haired progressive republicans dropped in from Valparaiso. They were accompanied by Hon. Xelson J. Bozarth of that place. By noon the number of progressive republicans had progressed to the point of ten. Glennon began to scratch his head. He sent out a "slow up" order to his first lieutenant in the kitcheti. Shortly after twelve the convention adjourned and the progressives strolled out inti the streets. By this time there were four of them and five out-of-town Roosevelt boomers.

It was some, time before Glennon wa restored to his '.usual genial demeanor. Meetlnir a Finale. y The consensus of opinion regarding the Roosevelt meeting In Hammond is, that it was quite a fizzle. Notwithstanding the advertising given the big Roosevelt organization meeting in Hammond for a week and the county-wide interest in the movement, the attendance at the Roosevelt convention today brought out exactly six Ike county men and four of these were Taft men, who went to see what was doing purely out of curiosity. It was the worst frost which has yet developed in the Tenth distrist, worse than the Rensselaer meeting at which there were seven. J. A.

Everybody denied It. But it has come to tho nrface at last. L,ee was republican state chairman until last January, when Fred A. Sims was elected to succed him. In December, while the national committee was In session at Washington to select the date and place for the national conven

tion Iee was there, too, and it was at that time that he made a public statement to the effect that President Taft could not carry Indiana if renominated. . His statement aroused so much indignation that Lee, who was then a candidate for re-election as state chairman immediately became an impossibility. Republicans all over the state some of whom had been his political friends and asociates, denounced him for making the statement but Lee stuck to it, and finally withdrew from the race for re-election as state chairman. It was understood at that time that he probably would be on the head of the Roosevelt campaign in Indians, if Roosevelt became a candidate, and sure enough it happened. Lee opened headquarters at the Hotel English in an expensive suite of rooms, and he has had a great flock of clerks, secretaries sten-ographers and typewriters busy ever since. Lee says he is paying tho bills himself, but the story that is told is that the Roosevelt campaign is

financed by George "V. Perkins, partner

in the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co., an-1

that Lee got into the game at the in

stance of Pan R. Hanna, of Cleveland, who is connected with the steel trust and the coal trust, and who Is under federal indictment on a charge of re

bating. Campbell is a clever politician In his own count J', but whether he Is big enough for a state politician is still a question that he will, have to settle by the results he obtains. He is a furniture manufacturer and was a Taft man until he went to Chicago a few weeks ago to attend the midwinter furniture exhibit. When he returned home from that exhibit he had changed and was out for Roosevelt. The story -is that he learned at Chicago that the Taft administration was going after the furniture combine with criminal - prosecutions under the anti-trust law. . It is believed that the' Roosevelt campaign in Indiana will get a fearful set back as a result of the change of managers just at this time. It is regarded here as a confession of weakness on the part of the managers of the boom, and as indicating that they are soared over the prospects that Taft will get every delegate from Indiana.It. is the old story of swapping horses in the middle ; of . the stream Just what connection Lee will have with the Roosevelt campaign from now on has hot yet developed, but it Is believed that he w-111 stay, with It In soma capacity. The Pemocratlc state committee met yesterday afternoon and decided to invite Governor Masehall to act as tern pjorary chairman of the. Democratic state convention on March 21, and also decided to suggest to the committee on organization which will be appointed by the delegates at the convention, that Senator John W. Kern be chosen for permanent chairman. This suggestion will be carried out, of course, by the commute, because all such selections are' decided on in advance of the convention.- and -the committee on

nothing of the injury done to the

chances of government improvement by the delay which would be necessary in order to get the county to act on this proposition, it is expected that it will not 'be difficult to get the dissenters, if . any there be, to view the matter as the business men view it. Their view that it w-ill be economy to

build a temporary bridge is based upon the fact that the interest on the high-priced permanent structure for a year and a half would exceed the cost of construction of a temporary bridge, which is god for at least several yearj. "That the city acquire this dockage at once is of the greatest importance not only to East Chicago.' said C. A Westberg this morning, "but to the en-
