COL. CARLISLE CANDIDACY. The candidacy of Col. Charles A.

Carlisle of South Bend for the republican nomination for governor of Indiana is entitled to the slncerest consideration of the republicans of Lake County whose interests are both industrial and farming. Col. Carlisle is so well acquainted with the needs of both these national factors of existence that he Is in the closest .touch with them. Northern Indiana has never had a republican candidate for governor and this section of the state should give its loyalty to so sterling a representative of the people as the South Bend man. Indiana has never had a governor who has given this part of the state its just

meed and consideration. Northern Indiana has been a strange country to Indiana's governors. All they have given it Is the coldd shoulder. They have asked its votes and then turned It down. Northern Indiana has come into its own and it deserves a voice at Indianapolis to Bpeak for It with power and authority. If that voice is Col. Carlisle's, It will be the voice that has no master, the voice of a man who will go free Into the race for the nomination or not at all.

THEY ARE REPUBLICANS.

HERE'S HOPING THERE'S NO XX's. Gary has had another anniversary and wtihin this week. Sunday was the sixth anniversary of the establishment of its town government. Tom Knotts, late police commissioner at Hammond, went to bed July 14,

THIS MEANS YOU. If the business roen of the city of Hammond have a spark of loyalty or a scintilla of city pride they would organize to support the baseball team which has made such a splendid record in the league so far this season. In Gary the business men have donated liberally to support the team and have done it in the spirit that Gary does everything, for the adver-
