"THE OTHER CANDIDATE." . Mayor John D. Smaller has two opponents for the nomination for maror on the democratic ticket. They are Dr. W. F. Howat and W. W. McMahon, former city judge. ' This article will treat of the candidacy of the latter. It will attempt to show that while Judge McMahon is a good citizen that he does not possess the executive ability and would not administer the affairs of his office as well as the present incumbent. The man who aspires to be mayor of a city like Hammond ought to be able to point to some conspicuous public service. He ought to be know a for his progressive acts. He ought to be an acknowledged leader in the interests of civic progress. There are scores of citizens in Hammond who can qualify as soldiers for the common good. Because a man announces himself as a candidate for mayor is not a sufficient reason for his election. Judge "V. TV. McMahon is a good citizen as good citizenship goes. He has never been arrested, he has been good to his family, he has been moderately successful in the practice of law. He owns his own home. But he is the negative sort of citizen. , , If Hammond was in danger of losing one of its principal industries would you, expect to see McMahon at the head of a committee to raise a bonus1? lie is not even a member of the Hammond Cnamber of Commerce. When there has been strife between labor and the employers he did not appear as a mediator. When the pump problem was an issue he did not concern himself about the nature of the settlement. The water supply has not concerned him, and it made no difference to him which way the deep sewer question was settled. He has been a negative and not a positive perosnality in this community. He is possessed of considerable ability, but the public has had no demonstration of it except in his capacity as city judge. His candidacy is the result of his observation that there was a fight on between Smalley and Howat with the prospect that a dark horse might nose his way in. McMahon hopes to be the psychological candidate and he believes that he arrived at the psychological moment. Judge McMahon has not and will not declare himself on the real vital issues of the campaign. Xo one knows whether he is for or against the deep sewer. No one knows whether he is for the negative or the affirmative; for the pros or the cons. His character is unassailable, his integrity unquestoined. He is a fine old gentleman. His friends are legion and they are loyal to him. But Hammond needs something more than a fine personality in the mayor's chair. It needs a man of fearlessness to curb the grafter. It needs a man of action. It needs a business man more than it needs a lawyer. It needs a man of experience in municipal affairs. It needs a man who can say "no" as well as a man who can say "yes." This city is a great big business corporation. It has become a most complex business organization. Affability and geniality are not going to make the governmental wheels go around. The next four years of the history of the city of Hammond are pregnant with possibilities. Hammond is either to continue its progressive march or it is to sink into the slough of indecision and inaction. The. democrats of Hammond will in all probability, decide, the .issue next .Saturday.
