GARY DEMOCRATS

EYE POSTMASTERSHIP Several Gary democrats have their

beautiful gown of eye on the Gary postmastershlp despite

the fact that Postmaster John W. Call's second term doesn't expire for nearly four years. The job pays $3,000.

It 1s understood that Martin Gill, late

candidate for sheriff, and a well known democrat, has a petition out for the

place. It will be presented to Congressman-elect John B. Peterson. Rev. A. C. Mayo, Bill Cain, Henry Price and others are willing to sacrifice themselves and hold down the postmaster-ship.

However, Inasmuch as Mr. Call is a

veteran of the civil war and went to the front and fought for four years. It Is not believed that Dr. Wilson will re

voke his commission when he becomes president.

Several other Gary democrats say

that they will seek jobs from Mr. Peterson just to see where they stand

with him. and the present indictations are that the Crown Point statesman will have a hard time staving off the
