Editor Times: Some one -who attended my opening: meeting of last Wednesday evening reported afterwards that I styled the Progressives barnacles and that the Republican party was glad to get rid of them. This Is absolutely and utterly erroneous and without foundation. My statements were so plain that a child ought to have understood them. I think I treated the Progressives fairly and considerately. I said In substance, very plainly, that the great body of progressives and especially the rank and file of them, refused to support the Republican ticket last election because of the large number of political bosses of the party; that these bosses controlled the party and had too much power; that many of them were corrupt and had become

POLITICS

From now until November 4th election day things will be humming politically. A whirl wind campaign is in sight. Last week the city was a placid home of voters. This week it is a big political camp in which leaders are marshalling their forces. The activity of the republican party has changed the whole situation. The .nomination of Peter Crumpacker as the head of the republican ticket means an aggressive fight, a fact which the democrats realize and admit. They know the republicans have criminated a man whose ability Is so well recognized that even blind partiBanshlp would not deny it, , and that j he stan?s on platform which appeals i to every tax-payer. Resourcefulness, a Crumpacker attribute. Is a complement to ability, but unfortunately, for the democrats this year, too many of their brainy politicians are supporting the ticket in only a half hearted way.t The republicans Intend to hold many meetings. They feel that they can convince the common sunse voter In discussing city affairs, without having to resort to mud slinging and vituperation. The democrats expect to begin with their meetings next week. A session in the Jefferson Club rooms is scheduled as an opener. The progressives have not yet completed their ward ticket. They found several whom they had nominated to have returned to tlie republican ranks. Chairman C. G. Kingwell yesterday stated that Percy F. Golding of 85 Williams street would be the councilmanic candidate in the Sth ward and that Frank I. Gross would take the place of John Novak In the 10th ward. Novak was nominated by the progressives, hut declined the offer and accepted the nomination at the hands of the republicans Instead. The progressives still have to fill vacancies in th not yet decided to name any one the eleventh ward against l. K. Boone, the independent candidate.

barnacles; that the Progressives were only a branch of the Great Republican Party, organised to get rid of these barnacles, (meaning the corrupt political bosses); that they; the Progressives, wanted to punish the Republican party on account of its bad leadership and therefore organize the Progressive party to do so; that Its object had been accomplished and now Its place was to return to the Republican fold and work shoulder to shoulder wtft its friends against the common enemy, the Democratic bosses and ringsters. That the only difference between the rank and file of the Republican party and the Progressives was the

Voters who move from the precinct In which they now reside after Saturday, Oct. 3, will lose their vote in the November city election. The law requires that each voter must reside in a precinct 30 days prior to the election.

GAS FRANCHISE UP BEFORE HUB COUNCIL Action on Is Grant Deferred U mil UDjeCtlOnS HaYe Been Overcome. (Special to Thh Times.) Crown Point. Ind., Oct. 4. The city council met last evening for the purpose of the public hearing on the gas franchise being sought by Henry P. Broughton and quite a number of representative business men were present to air their views on the proposition. All were In favor of the installation of a gas plant and only two objections were raised against the terms of the franchise. The cltisens present seemed to object to the minimum rate clause, which provides for a rate of $1.50 per month whether the meter registers that amount or not, the terms of the fran chise being such that If the owner of a residence were absent a month or any indeterminate period, he would be compelled to pay the minimum rate of $1.50. Another ftature that met with the disapproval of those present, and the council members, was that If the Public Utilities Commission act should be repealed in the future, all the terms of the preesnt franchise, if granted would be binding for a period of twenI terms of the franchise, which if exercised to thel rfullest extent and wlth- . fh oorrntlve snnerviston of the the city wholly at the mercy of the gas company. In the face of these objections the council decided to defer the further action on the franchise until such changes as will protect the citizens to the fullest extent are made. Further action and consideration were deferred until the meeting on Monday evening. WHITING TO HAVE A FOURTH TICKET (Special to The Times.) Whiting, Ind., Oct. 4. Another new Dolitical ticket has sprung into the Dolitical field In Whiting. This Is the Independent ticket, which Is headed by Pante Haralovitch for mayor and Fred Drahosz for aldtrman in the second ward. The ticket Is still open and It is thought that several other names will yet be added to the list of aspirants for office. FEDERAL COURT 01fOCTOBER21 Judge A. B.

The Baltimore & Ohio system, which

operates in this region, In the future will not give Its patrons unsolicited 'vapor baths" at station platforms. This Is promised by virtue of an order ust Issued to all locomotive enginemen Instructing them to prevent locomo tives from "popping off" while standing at passenger stations. "Popping off" results when the steam pressure Is raised above a certain point. Officials of the road say that it frequently happens that passengers hurrying past a locomotive to board their train are startled by a sudden "popping off" of the locomotive. The unexpected shrill blast of steam has been designat ed as a sure producer of palpitation of the heart. Daby Might Be Dropped. The company officials also point out that a mother, for example, carrying an Infant In her arms and looking after EAST CHICAGO LADY BIT BYJUTOMOBILE Accident Occurs on S.treet "Where Improvements Are Being Made . Mrs. John Petrovlch of 444 Vernon avenue, Oklahoma, was run down last evening by an auto owned and driven by Gabriel Sasse in front of Schlieker's drug store. East Chicago. The accident happened at 8:20 last evening, the victim being carried into the drug store, where her Injuries were dressed by Dr Raleigh P. Hale, while Sasse was arrested to await the outcome of her hurts. When Dr. Hale reported that there, while painful, were superficial so far as any real danger to the patient were concerned. Mayor A. G. Schlieker ordered the release of Sasse on 25 bond. In the automobile with Sasse was John Tenkely, candidate for alderman In the fourth ward on the Citizens' ticket and Robert Rucken. master mechanic at the'Cudahy plant. Bass himself was a candidate for nomination for alderman at large on the Citizens' ticket but was defeated. They were on their way to the citizen's meeting in the Masonic block when the acldent occurred. Mrs. Petrovlch and her daughter aged about 11. were crossing Chicago avenue. The police declare that Sasse's machine was going at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour when the accident occurred, but this Is denied by Mr. Sasse and other witnesses who de clare the machine was not going over eight miles an hour. They say that Mrs. PetrOvich was crossing over from one side of the street to the other through the sand and between . the tracks opposite Diamond's grocery, where the street Is badly torn up on account of the Improvements going on. Witnesses say she slipped and fell In front of the automobile. COMPANY SPENDING TH One of the things to which the peo ple in the Hohman street business dis trict look forward to with the installation of the ornamental lighting system, is the removal of all the aerial wire net work and the unsightly pole which occupy the most prominent corners on the street. The Northern Indiana Gas and Electrict company is spending thousands of dollars In keeping pace with the city beautiful Idea. The company 1b at work now in the business district to remove as many of the poles and wires from the main thoroughfares into the alleys. The Hohman street lighting system is intended to be in operation by next Saturday evening. The Tri-City Elec trical company which has the contract for installation, is bending every effort in this direction. Unlike the State street system, the Hohman stret lights are all on one circuit, and wll be impossible therefor to turn out certain light as a certain hour, by a simple turn of the switch. If one or more street intersections lights are to be kept during the entire night it will be necessary to turn out the other lights individually. Lee Granger under whose supervision the lights are being installed said this morning that it would cost the property owners between three, and four thousand dollars extra to wire the system In a way that all lights with the exception of one or more can be turned out simultaneously by the turn of a switch. .

Railroad officers say that the step is also one providing additional safeguard for the fastidious passenger, the commuter dressed for a ball or theatre party. A "dolled-up" patron, hurrying along the platform of a busy terminal might get his linen soiled by the shower of mist. Aside from the protection which the new rule affords to pasengers the railroad company hopes to effect an economy In the use of fuel and energy, because it Is a well-known fact that the nedless waste which results from engines blowing off steam tends to run up the charges of transportation. Property values on Calumet avenue received a tremendous Impetus when F. S. Betz, the millionaire Hammond manufacturer, purchased through the agency of Hastings, Woods & Co. the two lots In their resubdivlsion of William A.

This is the fourth .of . Hastings & Wood's sates of Calumt ivnue trusiress property. Two other sales have been, made but r not ready for announcement. (Continued on page five.) An E.

Three cars went off tho tracks, ths accident having been undoubtedly caus ed by something that went wrong with the train, rather than any defect In the railroad. The defect was not discovered however, and no one was hurt. The damage to the equipment was slight .although traffic on the Indiana Harbor Belt, and the C. I. and S. and the E.
