THE TIMES. Fridav, Juno 13, 1913.

SIDELIGHTS ON GARY DEMOCRATIC "PRIMARIES." "While police force Is busy "guarding" the polls, crooks get active and commit many burglaries. Even rob the public library. Max Bernstein and other saloonmen opposing Tom Knotts last night received" word that their licenses are to be revoked by the mayor. The people of Gary do not blame the police force for their part in yesterday 'primaries." Either a policeman does' as he is told or out he geta. Except as to their carrying out their orders in intimidation the general behavior of the police was good and Chief Martin is not blamed because the burglars took advantage of the situation. More votes are said to have been cast by Ridge road democrats than there are voters in that district. Many drunken men in Gary last night. Six drunks in a rig drove up and down Broadway last night waving beer bottles and shouting for Tom Knotts. John A. Collins, general superintendent of the Gary Bolt & Screw works and candidate for alderman-at-large. was one of those doublecrossed by the Knotts men. City vehicles pressed into service in Knotts' behalf. Fire department crippled by compelling firemen to do political work against their will.

HOW JOHN A. COLLINS WAS DOUBLE-CROSSED John A. Collins, the popular general manager of the Gary Bolt and Screw

works, was double-crossed by the

Knotts men at yesterday's "primaries'

but not until the afternoon. According to the story told Collins, Englehart and Oleska were listed for winning. Joe Morris, the south end politician got wind of the move tp "hook" him so he went to Tom Knotts and balled the mayor outMorris said that he had the entire Jewish vote with him, it is said, and that there would be "something doing" if any rough work was started. So in the afternoon the word went np and down the Knotts men to trim Collins and work for Morris instead.

Continued rmm Pair nnei in Gary a few months ago. The candidates for aldermen-at-large had a good bunch of voters working for them for their total is 9,145. Primaries" Disgrace- Farce. The "primaries" early m the day degenerated into a comic opera farce when Tom Knotts' police went out and ousted most of the election sheriffs named by the city central committee in conformance with the law. Then uniformed cops were placed at each polling place while others, plain clothes men. helped to electioneer for the "old man" and saw to it that everybody got a "square deal." I.Ike Sooth American Affair. Early in the day the Zawadzkt and

Castleman democrats were told to vamoose. Even Zawadzki was chased from the polls and Castleman himself was warned not to appear at any polling place under pain of being incarcerated in the "booby-hatch." Seing that Knotts and his police were in-full control of things Zawadzki and Castleman saw the uselessness of a fight and they at once filed contests. The idea expressed in the Knotts newspaper the other night that no one but Tom Knotts has a right to run for mayor of Gary was carried out to the letter by the police. Suddenly Run Out of Ballots. And when Zawadzki men did appear at the polls those having the latter's badges were either chased away or -in many instances given ballots already marked. Last night when upwards of 300 Zawadzki men went down to the

polling place in the Polish quarter at Seventeenth avenue and Massachusetts street the Judges found that they had "run out" of ballots The. men didn't get to vote. A 'om Knotta Affair. "If I had every democrat in Lake county over here voting for me today I would be counted out," stated Zawadzki early in the day. In a nutshell the democratic "prl- , maries" yesterday were nothing more than a packed convention on a large scale.. The police were there to let in but a few anti-Knotts men and many of those that, got inside were coerced into votin gfor the "old man." If previous elections In Gary have

been farces yesterday's was nothing

more than a one-man affair. The official returns: i For Mayor.
