City State Willie and His Papa Precocious Gary Youth Asks a Lot of Questions About Politics. As Willie and his pa had been out several evenings attending campaign speeches the kid had had but little chance to question the old man. family was gathered around the sitting room tablo. reading tha papers. "Here the Tribune prints Mr. Hodges' speech and runs that he said. 'Now let me assure you that I've been a republican all my life. That I've voted the ticket ever since I was old enough to vote; that I voted it in Kentucky, where I resided," " declared the old man. "But, pop, it seems that Hodges has a bad memory." "Now what's that got to do with It?" asked the father. "Why, Hodges says he has been a republican all his life. Why don't you remember that back in 1912 he Quit the republican party and became an ardent bull moose?" "That's right," put In ma. "To the newcomers Mr. Hodges may be a life-long republican, but I remember that back In 1912 he was a progressive." "And. pa," breathlessly put in the kid, "he was such a prominent enemy of the republican party that they made him chairman of the Gary city central committee of the bull moose party. Why ha was even the bull moose chairman four years ago, when Mayor Johnson was first running for mayor on an indepent ticket." "Well, supposing Hodges was a bull mooser," growled the old man. "That may be no discredit to him." said ma. "only when Mr. Hodges is quoted as telling the people that he has been a life-long republican I think that ho shows bad memory." "Pop, the 'Civic Service commission" and the "Committee of 15' are doing good work since they began to boost Mr. Hodges' candidacy?" half questioned the kid. "You mean that they are doing bad work, dfm't you?" asked his mother. The old man didn't get a chance to answer. The kid spoke up too quickly. "Why, the police records show that during three years, 191$, 1915 and 1914 the police apprehended here 750 fugitives from other cities. And since these commissions and committees have been active since Christmas they have apprehended during the past rine months alone S95 fugitives. The mayor says thi3 is due to the advertising Gary gets. These 'fake reformers' as he calls them paints Gary bad for poHttcal purposes and it gets all over the country. The crooks really think that Gary is a tough town and flock here." "Aw, go to bed. Thes men are sincere." said the old man. "Well, pop now you know that for years Gary has been painted bad by this same gang whenever they had a political scheme in view. The real estate men must like this." There being no answer, the boy continued: "Pop. they had the Tribune trying to discredit Supt. Glcason by successfully getting him off the park board. Did you hear anything about the plan to throw the hooks into Vice-President Thorp?" At this Juncture the door bell rang and the visit of a neighbor stopped the questions for awhile. WITH GARY POLICE.

GARY UNDER MAYOR JOHNSON
Term: January, 1914, to January, 1918. City's population increased from 30g()0 to 60,000. , Legislature advances city from fourth to second class. Gary's workmen increase from 12,000 to 22,000. Park system extended to all parts of the city. Work started on south side branch library. Two thousand workmen go to war; $100,000 given to Red Cross, $12,500 to Army Y. M. C A.; million to first Liberty loan. Park system extended to all parts of the city. Movement for. a lake front bathing beach in Gary started. Complete motorization of the fire department and its efficiency reduces fire insurance premiums one-half, the saving being equal to the total taxes paid annually by the people of Gary. Last year's total fire loss, due to an efficient fire department, was only $26,000. First Indiana mayor to recognize suffrage. Named a woman as commissioner of Gary park system. Mayor Johnson first chief executive of any American municipality to have a city treasury acquire Liberty Loan bonds. United States department of justice's secret service compliments Gary police for patriotic assistance rendered during the war. Reduces expenses of engineering and health departments one-third, although steel trust compels city to pay 200 per cent more for water bills and 50 per cent more for light bills. Mayor has started fight to get people lower light and water rates. With a police force of practically the same size as four years ago the department is now policing a city twice as big. Tolleston and south side school-playgTound sites acquired to house buildings costing $350,000 each. Efficient bureau of street repairs established to save taxpayers need of repaying. Gary school idea adopted in New York City, Troy, Passaic, Pittsburgh, Sewickley, partly in Pittsburgh, Pomona, San Antonio and Kansas City. Forced water extension to many outlying portions of the city. Efficient police department keeps order among people of 52 separate nationalities, working under tremendous difficulties in foreign quarter, especially at outbreak of great war in Europe. Reduces cost of city government, gets two wage increases for city employes, moves for civil jurisdiction for city court, and aids in getting Gary superior court facilities. World-wide attention attracted to development of religious teaching outside of school hours, Jews, Catholics and Protestants co-operating. Children whose parents desire it attend these classes at their respective churches. Believed to have solved the problem of bible study in the schools. Here's Chance to Be U. S. Army Officer Men, do you wish to become officers In the army cf the United States? Do you want to go to the third training camp? Here's the dope. There's a course In military training at the Vnlversity of Chicago, a daily or nightly course. That means that when the third training camp opens January 6 the government will alow a certain number of men from the university classes men who have trained for three months and are between twenty-one and thirty-one years old to try their luck for commissions. OFFICIAL CANVASS IS TO DECIDE IT (Ily t'nlted Press.) DES MOINES. Oct. 18. With the "wets" holding the majority In 99 counties of only slightly more than gOO, the final decision of Iowa'a prohibition election will not be known before the official state canvass. The canvass should be complete within the next two weeks. SOUTH BEND COAL PRICES DECREASED SOUTH BEND. IXD., Oct. 17. The price of coal was reduced in South Bend today. All grades dropped $2 per ton under the new scale. Anthracite Is now priced at $9.60 a ton and soft coal for JS. The reduction was made in accordance with government supervision.
"THE penalty for bolting a regular party nomination In American politics, republican or democratic. Is death to the political aspirations of the bolter." Gary Tribune. Maybe this explains why the editor of the Tribune and W. F. Hodges have had such a hard time since they bolted the republicaa party in 1912 for the bull moose chimera, the days when they denounced the republican party as corrupt and foul.
MAYOR Johnson's plan to give Gary a public harbor not interfering with the Iron ore harbor of the steel company, by linking the Grand Calumet river with the steel harbor, will give Gary the same advantages as Hammond, Indiana Harbor, Whiting and East Chicago, which have the Grand Calumet linked with Lake Michigan via the Indiana Harbor ship canal. A few weeks ago because Michigan fruit boats can land at South Chicago peaches that sold in Gary for 2.50 a bushel could be had in South Chicago for $1.60. And then think how nice It would be to have pleasure boats coming to town. Lake boats would draw thousands of tourists and build up a big business for real estate men, restaurant and other lines.
PEOPLE have a right to question the activities of reformers, who only seem to want to reform around election time. You can pretty well put it down that reformers around election time rre only fake reformers.
GARY, has a fusion or independent party. So have many other cities, notably New York, which adopted the Gary school plan during Mayor Johnson's administration. A democrat, Mayor Mitchel. is running for mayor c New York. Although thre is a republican candidate they have dropped party lines in New York. Even such eminent republicans as Governor Whitman, Charles Evans Hughes and Theodore Roosevelt have come out and endorsed Mr. Mitchel, the independent candidate for mayor of New York.
FAKE reforms from organizations like the "Civil Service Commission" and the Wall street prostituted "Committee of 15" have been successful in blackening Gary's name across the continent. Police records show that for 1914, 1915 and 1916 a total of 750 fugitives from other cities were, apprehended here and returned. Since the fake reform committees, organized to boom Hodges candidacy, began painting Gary as a hell hole of vice well, the police records show. During the past nine months the police have caught 895 fugitives as they came here. They were attracted by the advertising ensuing from the work of the fake reformers. As the mayor says, if a city advertises for industries it gets them, if It advertises for undesirables It also 3ts them.
THIS is interesting news! A cable dispatch from Petrograd to the Chicago Daily News tells of the interest the Gary schools are attracting in Russia and next spring a mission is to call on Mayor Johnson and Superintendent Wirt to ask all about the Gary plan.
JUST as City Comptroller Patterson says, one can be a republican and still support the independent ticket. There are no principles of republicanism at stake in the Gary city campaign. The republican party will not sink beneath the waves if the eminent gentleman now running for mayor and who deserted It from 1912 to 1915. is not elected.
HT W.F. HODGES MEETING It teens that they failed Tuesday evening to get their wires connected at the Hodges ca-mpaign meeting at Roumanian hall. 12th avenue and Adams etreet. Mayoralty Candidate W. F. Hodges was quoted In his organ, the Gary Tribune, as saylnff to the colored voters, "Now let me assure you that I've been a republican all my life." Now as a matter of fact, old-timers point out that Mr. Hodges deserted the republican party in 1912 to become a bull mooser and was city chairman of the bull moose party four years ago when Mayor Johnson was first running for mayor. Dr. O. H. Garnett. a veteran colored physician, who Is well known, made an oration stating that when Colonel Roosevelt 'left the republican party he was one of those who stuck with the G. O. I'. Dr. Garnett. who Is veil thought of in the city, is said to have caused a titter against Hodges, who did not stay in the party. Then Judge William Dunn, candidate for judge, who) has a wide reputation for squareness and fair dealing: and who has treated the colored voters with justice and fairness, said: "Conditions in Gary are Just the earns as exist in every other city in the country. We don't have such a bad city. There is room for Improvement." Judge Dunn is running on the same ticket with Mr. Hodges and his statements-contradict those of Hodges, who sees Gary as an awful hell hole cf vice. The judse is a man of the world. Serving as a railroader (being a union man to this day), fighting under the stars and stripes in Cuba, and educated in the south and at Yale and a resident of Gary for ten years, the Judge has a keen insight into local end national civic conditions. An attempt to open up Hodges headquarters at 22 Weft 10th avenue failed, only ten men showing up. JAP OFFICIALS VISIT GMT SCHOOLS Gen. Shiroski Otsuka and Col. Goturaki Suga. officials of the imperial Japanese social service department, with headquarters at Darien, ilanchura, were visitors at the Gary public schools late yesterday. Representing the mikado, the Japanese general and colonel are studying the civic training activities of American children. They were much interested in the Gary duplex system, which has been under the eye of the Japanese emperor for some time, his majesty having sent frequent observers to Gary. While in Gary the Japanese visitors were piloted abound town by Clarence Ludlow Brownell, head of the city cleanup bureau, who formerly resided In Japan and who speaks the Japanese language. The visitors were delighted that Mayor Johnson could provide them with a Japanese interpreter. GARY REPAIRS TOWN OF MILLER STREETS Thanks to the economy and efficiency methods of the bureau of strets, department bf engineering, the city of Gary has made $363.45 profit as a result of doing some street repairs for the town of Miller. Under the direction of Engineer Cottlngham the Gary department contracted with the town of Miller to repair Gary way (Fifth avenue) from the Gary llmits and beyond the Aetna line to Miller. Today the city got a check of $1.Bright Eye indicate buoyant health. When the eyes are dull, liver and bowels need regulating.

Tuesday, in city court Judge Dunn dismissed Simon's case. That night Simon was re-arrested by Gary police. Simon to'ld the commissioner yesterday be did not know ivhy they arrested him. However, Simoa appeared at" the hearing. The commissioner believes Escudero intended to intimidate Simon from appearing at yesterday's hearing or keep him in jail until after the case had been tried.
