In many other ways. 'There Is much more that I would
like to say to you, but which I shall
reserve for future meetings, when we shall discuss the public acts of th
administration and inquire Into prob
lems of water supply, llslits and power, track elevation, parks, docks, and the co-operation of local civic improve
ment associations. We would foster these improvement associations and would like to see them active In all
parts of the city to advise and confer

RAFF READY TO
PUSH AIR LIKE ACTION
4. Every supporter to .work zeal
ously and conscientiously.
5. The support of all for the entire
ticKet; no favoritism for himself or
self seeking on the part of any other
candidates on the ticket;
6. Financial support for the legiti
mate expenses of the campaign.
Before calling- for responses the
speaker said In further explanation,
"If I should accept the nomination and be elected mayor. I would expect to devote all the time necessary to the conduct of the affairs of the office. I
have done nljrht work in my office for fifteen or eighteen years, and my time
for the taxpayer will be limited only by
my endurance.
"The salary that is connected with
tnese various offices is all that we
would expect to get out of them. You can put It down In your pipes and
smoke It that one thing that would
have to be said about us, If we were
elected, is that we had Riven Hammond
an honest administration." A volley of applause went up with the last re
mark. Finishing this portion of his address.
Mr. Crumpacker sat back in his chair
and asked the voters what they had to say, insisting on an expression from nearly every one, as to what he could do for the cause In the way of support,
particularly In the way of work. Among those who responded were Judge Reiter, Dr. Sharrer, W. J. McAleer, W. F. Bridge, Dr. Graham, "Charley" Heimbach. George Eder, Bill" Tlmm, Bert Esther, Ben Bell. II. E. Granger. William Herkner, William Newman, Tom gwanton, and J. Apoll. Had time permitted, many more would have spoken like they, praising Mr. Crumpacker for his public spirit, his willingness to curtail a lucrative legal practice, assuring htm of their personal esteem and their willingness to everything In their power. The short talk by William Herkner,
who is a candidate for councilman-at-large, brought tho session to a climax. In broken English, this sturdy German assured Mr. Crumpacker that he like Crumpacker was a candidate against his wishes. "I have made my mind up, Mr. Crumpacker," he said, " to stick if you do. And T think if we all together stick we can win." Mr. Crumpacker was visibly affected bv the frank and wholehearted state
ment from Herkner. He rose from his chair and . shook hands with his. German friends and addressing the audience again he said: "When such men like my good friend Tom Swanton, Dr. Sharrer, Charley Heimbach, Ben Bell and my old friend Herkner here, and the others who spoke, speak the way they did, I feel that they mean It and that means much to me. When I gave "Billy" my hand, I made up my mind to accept and I hereby do
accept." The last words were drowned In the applause that followed. After this had subsided, Mr. Crumpacker continued his talk. He stated the position of the republican party with reference to the progressives and the democrats. "I have always been a progressive republican. Last year a difference of opinion arose as to how we could purge the historic republican party of undesirable bosses. I agreed with the progressives that It needed no bosses.
but I had faith in the old party that it would find a way out to get rid of them. They did not desert the republican party without cause. The end of the bull moose may have Justified the means, but my own opinion is that the party at this time is a forlorn hope and one voting for it will probably waste his vote. "We have no fault to find with the rank and file of the democratic party.

Says He Will Go the Limit
to Break Merger Recently Put Through.
Preparations are being made by the attorneys of F. O. Raff, stockholder in
the Gary and Interurban railroad com
pany properties, which includes the Air Line branch in LaPorte, to push the suit for dissolution and receivership
against the road when the case is call
ed in the Porter county circuit court.
October 6.
Rumors that the case has been dis
missed brought Mr. Raff to Gary and
Valparaiso from South Bend and he
stated emphatically that the suit will
be fought to the end.
If a decision Is given against u
in the lower court. It will be carried on
up to the highest courts." he said. "Our claim is that the $5,000,000 merger of all the companies was formed illegally and wo demand that it be dissolved and a receiver appointed so that all stockholders may be cared for In the proper manner. "If one person held a share of stock In any one of the lines he was given a share of stock in the merged com
pany, but the earning power was decreased many times." It is the intention of the Raff attorneys, according to Mr. Raff, to go to trial at once with the case, although they expect to be confronted with attempted delays. It is thought, however, that the case can be brought to trial within a short time. Mr. Raff claims to be the holder of 6,040 shares of stock In the companies included in the merger and is the chief complaining witness in the suit. When the suit was filed President Gavit of the company announced that the road's earning capacity had greatly increased since the consolidation and declared that all branches of the road
are operating at a greater profit now
than heretofore. Should Raff win the
suit, he said, the only effect would be
that the several companies would be
put back Into the same shape that they were before the merger was effected.
The complaint also alleges that the
merger was never ratified by the stock holders.

The Tesch Divorce Case.
Judge Kopelke on Tuesday granted
a divorce of Mrs. Margaret Tesch who
charged her husband August T?sch
with abandonment. They have no chil
dren and no financial settlement was
asked for by the plaintiff. She was
however allowed the use again of her
maiden name, Margaret Kasper. The plaintiff was represented by Attorney J. K. ftinson and the defendent by the firm of McMahon and Conroy. An effort to obtain a divorce on the same charge was made by Mrs. Tesch two years ago at Valparaiso, but at that time it was contested by the husband who refused to make a financial settlement and the petition was disallowed.
