TIMES HI" RE At", AT STATE C A PITA I.. ; Indianapolis, Ind., June 1. Indiana republicans are beginning to take considerable Interest In the matter of whom shall be the party nominee this year. Considerable interest has been shown among- the politicians In the announcement that Charles Arthur Carlisle of South Bend may be a candidate for the nomination for governor. He Is well known in business circles throughout the state, and It Is pointed out that this fould give him wide and effective strength. He Is counted as one of the most substantial republicans In the state, and leaders of the party are. saying that ha would be a strong candidate. The popularity of .Carlisle, it is pointed out by some of his friends. Is shown by the fact that this Js the third time that he has been urged to take the nomination for governor. Several years ago he was sought as a candidate In two campaigns, but he turned CROWN POINT TEAM JAYJUIT LEAGUE County Seat May Secede Because Officials Failed to Provide Pennant.

They say he is not a factional republican. The anti-saloon league is manipulating things to the best of its ability to bring about the nomination of George B. Lockwood of Marion for governor on the republican ticket. Mr. Lockwood is the one man among all of those mentioned who would be entirely satisfac tory to the anti-saloon league. A few days ago there appeared in one of the Indianapolis papers a long wrlteup of Lockwood and his prospects as a candidate for the nomination, and the paper gave him a good boost, telling of all of his fine points. The anti-saloon league has reproduced that article in the American Issue, the official organ hot the league, without comment. The American Issue goes to temperance people all over Indiana, and the article in question undoubtedly will do what it (Continued on Page 8.)

HUGHES IS MUTED PRESIDENT

Spectacular Convention By Hammond High School Students, One of Most Notable Events In History of Lake County Schools.

Such at least Is the decree of the very exciting mock republican national convention held last night by the Hammond high school students at the Christian church. Came On Seeoad Ballot. The conventional "dark horse" who usually begins to stamp and snort around, several weeks before a real convention, appeared in the mock con vention last night on the second bal lot, the delegates having been hope lessly divided on any other name. It took three hours to put the dark horse over, and adults, who were present last night and in the past also at real convention, said that the affair last night, that it lacked nothing, as far in form proceedure , and spirit was con cerned. Endorse Woman's Suffrage. It was an eent for which the stu dents under the able direction of MIsj Mary Burhans, teacher of civics and history, had prepared themselves -for weeks. The mock convention went a step farther, than the real republican national convention will go in its platform. The Hammond politicians went on record in favor of woman's suffrage, and made the cause a plank in the party's platform.

Hammond, which : Is .coming to the front as a city of churches, will within a reasonable time have a temple for the Reform Jewish worshipers. The congregation will secure a suitable site with a view-of building a temple on it, costing in the neighborhood of $20,000. The building lot on Rimbach avenue, west of Ann street, owned by the Hammond Woman's club, Is looked upon with favor by many members of the congregation, but if this is not available an effort will be made to find another site, which is centrally located. There will be no question about financing the project, as the congregation is in earnest, and quite a number I of its members are well-to-do. At the present time the congregation I has about' thirty families, but with the ! completion of the synagogue, it is ex pected that it will be increased by other famine's located in the surrounding cities. The reform Jewish people now maintain a regular Sunday school which Is conducted at Weis' hall. Here the congregation also gathers to worship on holidays and special occasions. The building of a temple has been planned a long time. At nrst It was thought best to purchase a lot and erect J merely a small building, sufficiently ly large enough for the present, but upon re-eonslderatlon, it was decided to build a temple large enough to meet the demands of the region for a long time to come.

The Hammond Chamber of Commerce wlli have . a director's meeting in the Lake superior court house next Monday. . Incidentally Dr. J. T. Clark is initiating' another campaign for members and this will be started on Monday. It is the purpose of the organization to largely increase its membership; and it is believed that the campaign for new members can be just as successful as the one which was put on recently under the auspices of Messrs. Barricklow and Bender. In , the meantime it is hoped that some of the Hammond business jnen who shouted their disapproval of the plan of the temporary organization to employ these men will indicate by their future acts that they do not have to be lead around by, the ears by a pair of outsiders in order to get results In a membership contest. Get Busy. The criticism was made of the temporary organization that lust as good re- ! suits could have been secured had no 'money been ' paid to outsiders. Now those who have voiced this criticism are asked to get lntoi the game and i prove that their plan is the best. If they get one-half the number of members that are now enrolled they will be considered to have made a good record. This plea is made for the purpose of getting, as many people Into the work on next Monday as is possible. The fact is pointed out that a" large number of workers busying themselves for short time can do more than a few workers employed a great deal of their time. . The next thing In store for the people of West Hammond is territorial expansion. Mayor K. M. WoszczynskI stated today that he expected to take up the question of annexing all of the territory to the Dolton corporate limits and also to the Little Calumet river. Before taking any action along this line WoszczynskI will take the "matter up with the interested property owners. He will secure their promise to co-operate with him wherever possible. West Hammond feels the need of a greater expanse of teeritory than it now has and now that it has become a Cjlty it expects to secure the territory of a city. ' The next meeting of the city council will be next Thursday, but it is not known whether or not this matter of annexation will be in the proper shape to be presented to the .council at this time.

Chicago and Western Indiana Road Acquires 110-Acre Tract For Distributing Center

Two purchases on the east side of the Chicago & Western Indiana Railroad extending from One Hundred and I Third street south to One Hundred and Tenth street, aggregating 110 acres, at an approximate valuation of $350,000, one of the deals having been closed yesterday, lead to the belief that the Western Indiana Belt Line will estab lish large freight distributing yards at that place.

W. S.

While the city has not yet entered into a contract with Mr. Shields, this much is certain whatever is to be done ln working out the deep sever system, is to be done by an expert. Once an expert Is retained, he is to be given free rein to work out a plan broad enough for a unit system for the whole city and its future growth, and the possibilities of an amalgamation with the cities of Whiting and East Chicago.

Certain portions of the north side need an improved sewer system immediately, and evith the rapid development on the south side, the sewers there are nearly taxed to capacity and are over-taxed in a heavy rain. The north side was the first to agitate the project aggressively, but an analyzation of the situation in Hammond Impresses the fact that a north side deep sewer would at the best be only piece work. It is for the sake of a pumping station and the filtration beds, that it becomes necessary .to make the deep sewer system a city-wide project. As is usually the case in the improvements of this kind, the procedure and the work will be slow, and it Is for this reason that Mayor Smalley proposes to tackle the problem in earnest now before the need becomes to Imperative. .
