Granting to the third party its every right to differ with its friends
in its choice "on preference on the national ticket," it has yet its first good
excuse toy offer for the nomination of a third ticket in Indiana or a tnira
county'ticket. Do not he blinded by prejudice nor misled by false hurrahs from those who are prejudiced higher up. Let the higher-ups pull their
ownthestnuts out -of the fire. Do not let them lead you away from your awn local county and state interests.
You are a Republican; stand by your party principles; YOU ARE
NOT A REPUBLICAN BECAUSE SOME OF THESE HIGHER-UPS WHO HAVE BEEN BROWSING AT THE PUBLIC CRIB ARE REPUBLICANS ; do not now desert your own principles because a few higher-ups who have failed in their personal ambitions are disgruntled and would destroy
the party of your principles.
, It is not in truth, principle which is prompting the higher-up Bull
Moosers, it is pique, the result of defeat It is a motive of revenge which is trying to mislead the people in state and local affairs to forsake them
selves and battle for assumed pretenses of the higher-ups under the guise
of "Progressive."
The word Progressive, which has been adopted, is a delusion and a
snare for the want of something to rally around. THE REPUBLICANS, YOU, AND ALL THE REST OF THE GREAT PARTY, ARE JUST AS
PROGRESSIVE AS ANY BULL M00SER YOU EVER SAW. You are
more progressive "because you are fighting for the betterment and improvement of your party and party principles, while the higher-up Bull Moosers have organized for the purpose of pulling down and destroying the party they helped to build and THE PRINCIPLES WHICH THEY HAVE HERE

HAMMOND'S COUNTRY CLUB.
Next Monday the Hammond coun
try club will be dedicated with, fit
ting ceremony. This club is something more than an opportunity for the Hammond business man to Stretch his legs as he ambles around
a nine hole course.
It is a positive, definite step in the
building of a social community that
will attract the attention ot the
whole region. People who enjoy a
highly organised social atmosphere will naturally gravitate towards
Hammond and its in-town country
club.
The country club is expected to become a social center. The wives of
the members will entertain there and
the club will be the Bcene of many
gay festivities.
It has taken a lot of determination,
a lot of real public spirit, a lot of en
thusiasm and a lot of money to make this project a success. And none of
this has been lacking.
Today the projectors of the club may look out upon great stretches of
velvet lawn over to as fine a country club house as there is in the middle west excepting those patronized by
Chicago people. They may partici
pate in the coming opening with the feeling that the project is an assured
success.
And the Hammond country club is a unique Institution. Owing to the peculiar fact that land. on the Indiana side of the state line is worth
$5,000 an 'acre while that on the 111!
nois side was purchased for a little over $350 an acre it has been possible for the people of Hammond to
have an In-town country club.
There Is no necessity for a long ride In an automobile or on street
cars and trains In order to play golf
In Hammond. A man eats hi3 break
fast at home, grabs his sticks and in ten minutes he is making the rounds
of the course.
So on Labor Day the dedication of
the Hammond country club will be an event of special significance. It will mean the beginning of a new
era in the social development of the
city.

and he has a perfect right to hold to that Idea. But the people of the district may not relish a contest be-
twen three attorneys from the north
.end of the district and may feel that
in this very progressive year they want a tried business man who has no connection whatever with the
United States steel corporation of
Gary. There has been a popular demand from all parts of the district
for Mayor Durgan to run and wheth
er he wills It or not the people may make this demand imperative. It is
the impression of many that with
Crumpacker and Bowers both law
yers, from the north end of the district, dividing strength there, that the Democrats must get their vote in the south end of the district to elect. The people of Tippecanoe county have the very kindest feeling for Mr. Peterson who made a heroic fight two years ago, but they also have an idea that the right man can be elected this year and that George Durgan
is the right man. That he can carry
Tipecanoe, Benton, White and. possibly Jasper counties is assured and
with Crumpacker and Bowers divid
ing the Republican vote In Lake and Porter counties would Insure Dur-
gans' election. "We have a very high

"I bought a good farm at & $150
an acre, and I have paid for It with nine cent hogs, nine cent cattle and
seventy cent corn during the good
republican times," said the farmer. "I have sold my farm at a good price, and I am going to keep my money until I see whether the good republican times are to continue or the democratic panic Is to ensue. I don't care about paying $150 per acre for a farm now and have to pay it out with thirty cent corn, four cent hogs and cattle. You can readily see why." Logansport Journal.
POSSIBILITIES HERE.
A Hammond man has one of those
new Edison motion picture machines
for home use built so cheaply that almost any family can afford to have
one. Great idea! Now let us get a
good film company and boom the
business.
Householders could for a few
kopecks buy a couple of hundred foot reels of local happenings. How nice it would be to show on the parlor screen the busy doings down at the
Porter racetrack; West Hammond In
a quiet minute; some or the calves
down at Sam Wood's farm or for those who like marine backgrounds the more Interesting one at Robertsdale beach. Then that classic the Gary school board In the act ot letting a $24,000 "black dirt" contract so that "grass can grow around the
new patch schoolhouse" beats anything that the Roby tall grass ever offered. Golf as It really is and how the Hammond country club men play It; a Hobart ladies bridge whist club in a wrangle; scenes in Big Tim Englehart's Ridgeroad duchy; and last, but not least, a rare feature reel showing a Wabash or an Erie train coming in on time.
INTERURBAN DEVELOPMENT. The people of Lake county are
slow to realize the tremendous interurban development that is taking
place here. Only a few weeks ago the Gary & Southern, a four years dream, was opened to traffic and has proven to be so successful that with
in two months after the line was put in operation H, became neceesary. to double the service by running the cars at intervals of one hour.
In the meantime the Chicago Lake Shore & South Bend Railway Company inaugurated its through service on the Illinois Central tracks by which passengers are taken all of the
way to tcanaoipn street in express
train time. . -
Now the Gary & Interurban, the
Gary & Connecting railways and the Northern Indiana traction company have Inaugurated a service from
Hammond to LaPorte and South Bend. Other Interurban development such as the Indiana Harbor extensions of the Gary & Interurban and the Hammond, Whiting & East Chicago roads and the proposed Harvey extension rfom Hammond make it apparent that there Is much In prospect In the future. The Chicago, Indianapolis & Meridian railroad is said to have been financed and promises the first interurban line to Lafayette and Indianapolis. . . . Both the Gary & Interurban and the Chicago, Lake Shore & South Bend lines have avoided what has been regarded as the inevitable receivership following the construction of a new road. ... This ought to encourage other interurban companys to enter the field for if these roads are a demonstrated success now there is no measuring
the golden streams that will pour Into their treasuries in the coming 20 years.

stimulus to our prosperity. The de

FARMER IS IN DOUBT. A farmer of near Knlghtstown has
a philosophy all his own for the po

With the election of -a . democratic
