ANT TO CUT CITY CAMPAIGNS SHORT NEXT YEAR

NEW WOULD GOOD THING Thirty Day Campaign Only For City Offices May be Put in Vogue Next Year.. TIMES BUREAU, AT STATE CAPITAL. INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 14. There is some talk of a bill to be introduced at the coming session of the Indiana legislature to changs the time for holding primary elections. The present law requires that primaries shall be held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday In March. Man of those who have taken part in the 1916 campaign for nominations as well as for election are of the opinion that the time should be changed, and that primaries should not be held until September or the first of October each year. Some say it would be well to make city nominations in October and county and state nominations in September, thus giving thirty days for the city campaign and sixty davs for the state and county campaign. This length of time, it is said, would be ample for the candidates to make their canvas sand to do all of their campaign workVnder the present law a candidate for office is required to' make two long, expensive and wearing campaigns one for nomination and one for election. Candidates for nominations, under the present system, announce their candidacies months in advance of the primaries, and 1hey are required to make a long campaign. For instance, candidates for state offices start one year to get read y for the primaries to be held the following spring. They must travel all over the state, or. at least, they think they mu-t. and this kind of camplign is almost, if not quite as expensive as conducting the campaign for election. It will be recalled that James F. Goodrich stated in his sworn statement of primary expenses that he spent more than $18 ono to get the republican nomination for' governor. Other candidates, of coure spent proportion ate amounts. This applies to the candidates of both parties. How much the successful candidates spent after the primaries to be elected in November is not yet known. Tint they admit that this was an expensive campaign. It is pointed out that if the nominations had ben made in September this year instead of March it would have been less wearing on the candidates as well as on the people of the state, because it would have shortened the time in which the people could have been pulled and hauled and buttonholed. There is no need of such a long cam-r-.nim it is said. Just as effective work could be accomplished in a shorter time, it is said. Following the March primaries there Is a long lull in political matters, during which the only thing done is organization work by the parties. This kind of work, it is urged, could be accomplished just the same and in the ame months, even though the nominations were not made until September or October. City elections will be held throughout the state next fall, and nominations for city offices will be made next March unless the present primary law iS changed and the date for holding the primaries pushing along until later in the year. Already there is talk of candidates for city nominations, in the cities throughout the state, and this is one thing that has given rise to the talk of a change in the primary law. Complaint is heard that it is foolish to start now to work for nominations to be voted for at the election next fall, a whole vear ahead, but that is exactly what is going on. If the primaries for city nominations were postponed until September or October, it is pointed out there would be no necessity for primark campaign work to start before next spring, whereas under the present system it is on right now.

ONLY 10 PRCINCTS TO HEAR FROM By United Press. ST. PAUL. Nov. 14. With tn precincts missing Hughes led Wilson in Minnesota today at noon by 123 votes. Hughes had 179.463 and Wilson 179.340. The official count. in 49 counties has been completed and in 37 counties it has not been completed. Minnesota is still in doubt, the leaders of both sides admitted, although naturally the republicans feel that they have the edge. There are but 301 soldier votes to be. counted, but those already counted did not develop as ivorably to the democrats as they had hoped. The great element of dubt is the recount in Hennephin (Minneapolis county). This county has the largest vote of any in the state. When Ramsey (St. Paul county), the second largest in the state, was officially canvassed it resulted in a change of the figures' which netted Wilson 349 votes. The official count in St. Louis county, third largest, netted Wilson 62. The leaders in both parties hope that some big mistake can be found in the Hennephin figures and that it will be in favor of their candidate.

DISCUSS

COURT'S REMOVAL The removal to Gary of Judge Grecnwald's superior court and confining all criminal and probate work to the circuit court at Crown Point, were sug- ! gestions that were freely discussed at a meeting of the Lake County Bar Association in Hammond this morning. The need sxd the advisability of establishing a court in .Gary were not debated, and references to the Gary and Crown Point re-adjustment were made only incidentally, but nevertheless frequently enough to indicate that Gary will continue its demand for court fa- i cilities. The proposal to turn over to Gary's exclusive .use room three of the superior court, instead of having that court divide its time between Hammond and Gary. seeis to be more acceptable all around than a proposal to establish a new court. It was also pointed out that Gary law business staying in Gary would relieve the circuit court at Crown I Point to such an extent that that court ' could take over all the probate and the : criminal matters. t"uis permitting rooms j one and two of the superior court at I Hammond devoting their time exclus- ' ively to civil matters. The rrescnt j system of passing the criminal court calendar around among the courts has proven highly unsatisfactory and is ad- j mittedly a waste of time. I The whole question was raised with i a motion that was carried, asking President Frank Gavlt to appoint a legislative committee of five members who are to draw up a comprehensive program of needed legislation affecting the general practice and the situation lo- I cally. An amendment submitted bv Attorney Joseph Conroy that the committee do not consider any court rearrangement, was overwhelmingly defeated. PresidentNGavit will appoint his committee some time this week, probably tomorrow. GARY MACHINE TB . WAR DNJALOONMEN Not for Prohibition But for Revenge for Revolting. Gary saloonmen are up in arms over the threatened plan to "get" several of them because of their revolt against the badly diplapidated machine that made such a mess of republican affairs. First hint of the plans of the mal chine to try to "get" some of the saloomiKn was given last night in an editorial in the Gary Tribune. the g organ The Tribune suggests that "rumors" are current that the county board o I commissioners will take steps to deny licenses to several of the saloons. Of course, tne saloons win not oe tnose tun by men who have taken orders frcni the gang. Mayor Johnson Angry. Mayor Johnson is said to be up in the air over the Tribune's assertions that some of the saloons are "nothing than dens of vice." Continuing the Tribune said: "There is in fact no real politics with dens of vice." It was- stated today thatithe mayor 'would call the Tribune editor on the carpet for asserting Gary is afflic:ed t with dens of vice making the statement after feeding at the city hall pi counter in the shape of public printing.

It is said that they will further inform the republican county organization that unless there is a change of leadership in Gary" that something worse than Gary going for Hughes by only 106 votes can be expected if oppressive tactics continue. There is no disposition on the part of the saloonmen to interfere or take a hand in politics, but they will unite to protect themselves if necessary. A saloonman said that while the saloon interests would ask no more than what was coming to them that trouble would follow any move to club them into line. To tio Before I". S. timnd Jury.

GARY ICHII LOOKING FOR 'GOAT' AS RESULT OF G.O.P. DEBACLE

Leaders of the Gary machine, which is fast being repudiated by the republican rank and file of the steel city, are are said to be frantically looking for a "goat" upon whom they can place the blame for the practical loss of the steel community to tho democrats. Lacking the courage to take the blame themselves, a "goat" is now demanded. Frantlo S. O. S. Call. The demand for new leadership in Gary republican affairs, which not only comes from Garji but from the county as well, has caused the boss gang to become frantic. What" more, the state leaders at Indianapolis, particularly those who have to do with the incoming state administration, are said to be demanding a new leadership at Gary. They are dead sore that Indiana was almost lost to Hughes which would have entailed the defeat of Governor-elect Goodrich because of the wreck of the republican party at Gary. Only a few weeks before the Gary bosses had glibly told state leaders that Gary would be carried by 4.000 or more. As it was the democrats wiped out 3.700 of the republican majority. "Oet Together," Za Whine. "Boys, we must get together," is the i whine of the defeated bosses, who state that unless the outraged members of the party come iy and again submit to their dictation the city will go demo

This is the answer of one fan to the excuse of the Corncll-Haniburgs, the Evnaston Nort Ends and other teams that refuse to meet the Clabby football team because they fear the conduct of the rooter shere will not be as it should. They refer back to tne Pullman-Hammond game of last year when out o flown rowdies started a fist fight. There is no doubt but tha". the memory of that lamentable scrap has kept some local patrons away this season. But the Clabby team this year is entirely different and the rough games. As a matter fo fact the real reason why the Cornells and Evanston do not want to play Hammond is because they fear the Clabbys. Davenport beat the North Ends this season. BARS NEWSIES FROM G. & I.

It is said that Mayor Johnson may be declared the "goat" and that the sacrifice in an effort to appease Governorelect Goodrich will be made in short order. There were also suggestions of making City Chairman Hay the "goat." but Mr. Hay, who happens to be an oldtime Ohio politician, wears a coat of j political mail and isn't afraid of any dagger thrusts in the back. Mayor ' Johnson is also expected to kick up a rumpus if any effort is made to shoulder the blame on him for the failure to deliver the goods. As it is those who have the good of Gary at heart fear that the new state administration will give a deaf ear to Gary in matters of patronage and legislative affairs. The double crossing proclivities or the Gary machine is known at Indianapolis and Winchester quite as well as it is at home. In the meantime some self-sacrificing cog in the Gary machine can render a noble act to the powers that be by coming in and shouldering the blame. Here's the Answer: Eat Rice There is one way to meet the situation and that by economy. Rice is the one item in the grocer's list that has not increased in cost and is still sellIlls' at the original prices which prevailed before the war. A good quality of rice can be obtained at seven cents a pound. The value of rice as a food .. known nnrl housewives in these . .V. ,. times of "nigh prices are putting it on the table more frequently Teas and coffees remain the same but their value as food is questionable While eggs are now selling at thirtyejjm and forty centa a pounJ here JfJ nQ teinff what the pr;ces wlu De a month hence n i3 jike askins: a man rtln Ktock wm sell for tnirtv days away.

The baby girl was injured several weeks ago when she ran in front of a taxicab on the street near Iter home and was knocked to the pavem,ent.

HARBOR PROJECT REVIVED

Inland Harbor in Lake Looks Hearer Than it Has Ever Looked Before. No matter how the individual voter feels regarding the outcome of the election, the Calumet region was a decided winner with the election of six men. These are: James R. Mann of South Chicago, and "Friend of the. Calumet Region," who probably will be the next speaker of the lower house of congress; Will R. Wood, tenth district congressman, republican co-worker with Congressman Man"; Senators Harry New, James E, Watson, and Governorelect Lowden of Illinois. Congressman H. E. Barnhart of the Thirteenth Indiana district is also a great friend of Lake county. The election of a republican governor for Illinois is important for the industrial development of the Calumet region in Indiana, because it is confidently expected that the governor-elect will reverse Governor Dunn and support a comprehensive program for a great inland harbor in Lake Calumet at Pullman.
