Rah! For Callahan and The Citizens' Ticket

Harbor . have spoken ! They have said their goodbyes to Friedmanism and all the evils it entail ed. They have spoken their views of the filthy, gutter-born, libelous lies with which the columns of the East Chicago Globe have reeked for a month. Yesterday they expressed their disap proval of the shameless hireling who penned the stuff, at the polls and elected Frank Callahan and the entire citizens' ticket decisively. There was no half-way measure about their vote. The non-partisan movement was a triumphal landslide. The citizens of Indiana Harbor and East Chicago, the bankers, business

men, clergymen and otner supporters of the citizens' ticket libelled by the Globe have been vindicated. It was a victory for the people. It was their battle, and theirs alone. To them belongs the credit The men who were sponsors for the citizens' movement, high-minded in their purpose ; unfaltering in their zeal ; unflagging in their de termination are to be congratulated on this bright November morn f oi refusing to align themselves with the scuttlers of decency and good citizenship. It is a memorable triumph and it is a lesson as well to those who think that slander can elect a municipal ticket. frThe dawn of a new day has begun for East Chicago and Indiana Harbor. Nothing could have happened that will bring the Twin Cities closer together than by the election of Frank Callahan. It will mean a new deal all around. It will mean that henceforth East Chicago will be put upon the map as a city where decency and clean government reigns. It will not be run by a clique or a machine or an army of feeders at the public crib. THE TIMES extends its congratulations to the taxpayers, voters, men, women and children of East Chicago. They made a good fight a fight against great odds. What humble part we have played in the battle for non-partisanship in East Chicago is neither here nor there The result shows howthe people felt about its instrumentality for thf paper was but an instrument in the hands of the people. Never at any stage of the game was THE TIMES or any one connected with it running for mayor. We wonder what the Globe thinks now when it said: "THE TIMES Is too stupendous handicap for any candidate to carry ssfely and successfully through a canpaixi where Intelligent and discriminating voter are to Bass finally upon the merits and qualification of the various candidate. Their support of a candidate will be equivalent to his defeat, and that only a runa-dnm of the firstwater looking; for the shortest route to political oblivion will look . for support and approval from 'their direction.'' Well Mayor-Elect Callahan feels pretty well thank you this evening for a "rum-dum.'

filESS THEY ARB HAPPY. East Chicago is rejoicing over the victory. The issue has been in a word

clean government against charges of

graft and maladministration and the results show conclusively that the people may standi for a certain amount but that reckoning always comes. The people believe that Frank Callahan and his supporters will give to the city, a clean, strong, economical administration.

KIIOTTS TO GO 111 BUSINESS

Mayor Thomas E. Knotts, Gary's

head since its founding in 1906. was at

his deserted office in the city hall this morning wearng a gloomy look. The

mayor nformed a Times reporter that

tics," stated the mayor when asked if he- would keep in the game that made his widely known. An air of gloom reigned around all of the city hall offices and this was especially marked in the police department where the axe is expected to fall in January. Citizens' leaders stated today that a few of the policemen would be retained.

JOHNSON MEN HAVE CELEBRATION AFTER MIDNIGHT At least three thousand Gary people watched the returns flashed from the citizens' headquarters in the Feuer building last night. At midnight when it became known that the entire citizens' ticket had been elected 2,500 men and boys paraded throughout the city. Demonstrations were made in front of the city hall and at Mayor Knotts' home, but at the executive's residence everything was dark. Knotts viewed the parade from his offices and munched grapes when he heard many shouts of defiance and cheers for Johnson. Johnson himself went to bed early, worn but from loss of sleep. Later in the night the police had to arrest for enthusiastic- paraders when they insisted on punctuating the night with pistol shots.

TELLS OF HAMMOND SCHOOLS

Collier's for November S and The American School Board Journal Just out. carry flattering publicity for Hegewisch and Hammond, respectively. The first Is fiction made up of fact by a cup reporter and the second Is another of the excellent articles on education, written by C. M. McDaniel, superintendent of schools. It Is titled Night Schools In An Industrial Community. Frazier Hunt, the cub reporter, tells of a story that broke in South Chicago and wound up near Bat Nelson's abode in Hegewlsch. He takes black hand liberties with Billy Red of the Journol. Red Morgan of the Hearst appers, Jim Adams of the Tribune and News and Herald. He brings In Mike Donnelley's Rest Room, and uses the lobby of a theatre once owned by Mrs. Martin Una of thi city. Hands It To Old Boss. Of Will Brown, now acting manager of the City News Bureau, formerly the City Press Association. Hunt draws a clever word picture. Owing to the fact that Brown had the pleasure of firing Hunt at a day not far agone the author paints the caricature In lurid Eng. 1 sh. The story differs from average newspaper fiction of an impossible cub and an aciduated city editor. It hinges on the telephone, the gullibility of

a cub and his refusal to "play th game" at no matter the cost. He tries to be square and succeeds. Of course the cub triumphs over the Old Timers. Well Written McDanlel Art cle. "It Is conceded that our public school curricula are cast in too small a mold." says McDaniel. "However the danger is that in this experimental stage through which our schools are passing. 'we may attempt to hitch on and tie to so many of the "new" things educationally for , fear of not being considered up-to-date that there may be wanting a concentration of effort, resulting in a waste of time and energy. "Nevertheless . it is apparent . that some provision should be made to meet the needs of the foreign-born population and of the native-born population and of the native-born, who have not completed - the elementary schools, or who may desire some phase Cf Industrial training."

FACES INDICTMENT Possible prosecution tn the ways of arrests and indictments face Romeo Fitzgerald, the Broadway real estate man, who yesterday was active as the alleged head of the gun men and sluggers imported tnto Gary and many others who took part in election riots.

Your Store Window is Your Store's Face

When you meet a man you learn his nature by looking at his face. The prospective cutomer learns the nature of your business by looking into your windows. If the windows are bright and well lighted the passer-by takes kindly to your store. The attractive window pulls business into your establishment instead of allowing it to pass on to others. V Let us put a bright face on your store by lighting the display windows with Tungsten Electric Lamps on a monthly flat rate. This is the most satisfactory way to do display lighting, because it relieves you of all thought' of the lamps. The following monthly rate includes current, renewal of lamps, turn-on at dusk and turn-off at 11 o'clock: 5-Watt Sign Lamps $ .12 40-Watt Lamps 60 60-Watt Lamps 80 100-Watt Lamps. 1.20 150-Watt Lamps 1.65 250-Watt Lamps 2.60 Ask us to send a representative to talk this over with you;

of the citizens party. Just before the Sixteenth avenue and Jefferson street riot Smith was trying to prevent alleged repeaters from entering the polling in the riQt vicinity and he and Fitzgerald became involved in an argument. . "I drew my automatic and Fitzgerald drew his. The coward got behind a post. Officer Peters of the Gary police held my arms and I was slugged by the gang," said Dr. Smith. Late last night it is said that Fitzgerald fearing vengeance from the citizens' workers took refuge at police headquarters where a number of scared sluggers also proceeded. Fitzgerald made no bones about riding with the sluggers and on more than one occasion he was chased away from polling places by aides of Sheriff Whitaker.
