MASS MEETING.

A nui meetlnff, to which all will be welcome, will be held by th. republicans of East Chicago t Siilaffyl's hall, north ide, toniffht at 8 o'clock. Good speakers have fceoa scheduled There will also be a. meeting at TraasylranlA hall, Pennsylvania avenue and Michigan avenue. Some real puollUcal oratory Is promised at this point. Com and bring- your friends.

The Teungr Mrn's Kepuhllcan club of the south s'.dc, Hast Chicago, held another one of Its lnsrlrins meetings at Plotrowski'3 hall, 149th street and Northcot-i avenue, last night. The hall was well filled with an Interested audience. Frank I,oda acted as chairman and addresses were mala u: Tolish by Lofatka. Ilavran, McCloskey and Mysllwy, and Ir. HnsrUsh ly Dr. Dr. K. Johns, Ae Ottenhclmer. McCorniak. Cohen. Richards and Harmon. The speakers placed f-mphasls upon the fact that the Second ward of the city had always been a strong republican ward, that the republican ticket had always received full endorsement at th honds of the people in this section showing: that they believed in republican principles and doctrine. "Is there any good reason," shouted one of tho speakers, "why you should desert the republican party row? Is there any rood reason why you nhould vote, for AY. J. Murray Instead of Leo MeCormack?" lie then contrasted the two men running for mayor. 'Murray," he said, "is an office-seeker and has been as nearly as can be learned all of his life. And the only recognition ha ever received waa In being: made a Justice of the peace up in Wisconsin. "While there he ran for congress that was ten years ago and he was beaten so bad that they are still counting the- votes that wro cast agxinst him. This was too much, eo he picked up his hat find l;-"t "Wisconsin, com in j? to Valparaiso where he ptudied law for one year. It takes three years, boys, to graduate in law from that Institution, so Murray did not finish his courso. He felt, however, that he could practice law and so hs came to Indiana Harbor. Have you ever heard of his beint,- enK.-iircd in any big lawsuit? Has lie ever been consult d on any important affairs? Is he the lawyer for any of the b'.g interests of this city or community? I did hear once that ho had a case Involving ns much as $1400 hut ho lost it unl probably wont get any more. "How rr.ar.y In this hall ever heard of Murray before the beginning: of this campaign? (No reply.) Ho hw been here something1 less r"m m years hut you probably wouldn't have heard of him for the next four years to com.' had not M.ke Kiernan rut him at 'he head of the democratic ticket. He is unmarried and has no homi ties. In other words, he is a stranger In our midst and is likely to blow out of town at any time Just as suddenly as he biaw in. "He says that MeCormack. a nan his senior in age and experience a man well poised, of good Judgement, and one who lovs tho city in which he has lived for

eighteen years and where he has a heme and a fine family -a man who has been familiar with the details of the administration of our city f. r the past ten years, a man who knows everybody and is interested in mnklnj? his home town a good place to live in where sobriety, morality and urood government may provail, a man who never has been a politician, who doesn't want to be and who n"ver will be, n man of straightforward, rugged and honest character, a man with experience as an executive head of tho police fores of the city, yes. a workman If you will who was worn hobnail shoes and a towel around his neck 1n the mills of this city, a m-ui of ripe judgment and good common sense, nn economist by nature Murray says that this man is 'not qualified' to be mayor, but that the people f-hould eWt HIM (Murray) to conduct a business administration. Do you htlicvo him, mn, do you believe that I. oo MeCormack cannot take care of your interests and th interests of the city RJ large as ni." '? The reply came q;:" snontaneously and a thundrous '.sol" mado the rafters rir.g with its sincerity. Other breakers compared II. M. Cohen bs a candidate for city Judg with Teofll Grabowskl whosy only qualification seems to bo that he places political office above political principle and that as a Pole he might lead by the nose a few Polish otes. "Mr. Cohen," said one, "has been in Kast Chicago practically all of hl3 life. He is a home town product, is a graduate of the University of Michigan, l.as practiced law in thid c;ty sinco his graduation and has been a mighty fair and ablo prosecutor, under appointment, for tho past four years. He has always keen a republican, consistent and honorable in bo'h public and private life and a young man who Is bound to make himself felt In the civic, social and legal life of this community. Thos. Y. rtiehards. mature, in thought and Judgment, with four yens of successful experie nce in the office of city clerk a man who is on the Job all of the time i...d is well antf favorably known all over the city was placed In favorable contract with Kddie Ueil, a young- man with limited business train1111? and with no conception of the duties and r sponsibilities of his office. It was also brought out that William Wright had been a recluse so far as business and social activities of the city had been concerned ever sine; ho first became a resident of this municipality:

j that prior to tho campaign he, to', had been practically unknown; that lie was an untried factor insofar as t,he office I of city treasurer was cncrnd. while I Walter O. Harmon had achieved the

reputation as treasurer for the past four ye-irs of doing more for tho small taxpayer find average cKhten than had any in. umb'-nt of that office since the charter of the city was granted; that Mr. Harmon was one, of the few really public sp-.rited men in political life Bn, that as such he had saved the taxpayers of this city thousands' of dollarr.. Mr. M'-C 'i icHck came somewhat late

I to the met!mr hiving been at another j similar gathering at Twanow's hall. In;diana Harbor, early in the evening. As

he entered the hall, hurrahs were given, hats wre thrown into the air. cheer after cheer was given and confusion relpned. Th-3 ipeaker on thi floor at the time was compelled to sit down until Mac raised his hand and restored order. It was a striking illustration of how his friends in the second ward fee! toward the republican candidnre.

Greeted by an audience of one thousand persons, who crowded the Orpheum theatre in G.iry last night, and cheered oatside in the streets by scores of others, who stormed the doors of the playhouse unable to enter it, Mayer R. 0. Johnson, independent endidate for re-election was given the warmest

: ovation f iven to a candidate in this campaign. Alen, women and children cheered repea'edly the man who is fighting their battle to get them

a lake front park, a public harbor that will reduce the cost of living, and to compel the steel trust to cease charging high prices to Gary workmen and other residents of the city fcr gas, water and electricity. THE PITOPXE'S M.lYOIl. The maor m as appIauVd t;rne after time while h told of the business Hfhle ements of his administration, of the failure of lo'crcs or Curtis to accept his dobnto ehal'cntr-. of the attacks of th'- f;i).e and hypocritical reformers of Wall street to as'iss! no te his character l"..r the purpose of electing their own tool as mayor. Mayor Johnson, with his old-time , vigor, detailed what the independent party stands for: home rule. a lake

from bathing beach in Gary, a publio harbor, and lower light and water rates. He said the independents had elected him four years ago and they are going to elect him now. MAY SHIFT TO CURTIS. The mayor asked how Hodges. If he were elected mayor, would be able to relieve the city of the terrific burden of opprosive light and water charges since eight officials, of the corporation supplying those commodities are candidates for aldermen on the Hodges Wall street ticket. Mayor Johnson predicted that the steel political bosses may even try to shift strength to Curtis, tho former attorney for- tho steel company, in a vain effort to elect ore or the other. But after the first Monday In January I am going to be the mayor of Harvey Curtis as well as William Hodges." said Johnson as he brought down the house. ' riowtRs rEOM women. Dr. .Frank W. Smith, chairman of the independent party, and with Mayor Johnson one of the republican leaders of tho state, who successfully guided tho Independent citizens' Crty four years ego presided last night. Perry's municipal band and a glee club entertained tho audience. Whil-3 the storm of applause was ringing throughout th-s hjtse Just after the chairman present j the mayor, attendants brought . t.iree huge floral pieces, the gift ti 'm li. O. Johnson's Woman club. The mayor at the out-set told how the city government had been run for less and money turned back Into tho general fund. The mayor said In part: DENOUNCES PAKE BEFOItMEHS. "Now my friends there are Just two things that they talk about in this campaign. That is a business administration and the vice question in the city of Gary. That has been talked over so much that 1 feel as though it Is stale to be talking about it any more. Since the opening of this campaign two weeks ago at Military hall the Post and Tribune haven't seen fit to talk any more about vice because I said they were fake reformers, that is what they are and that is what they were; and I said it was a fake grand Jury and it Is n. fake grand jury, and nothing more and nothing less. OA BY LAND CO. ESCAPE 3. "Eut if that grand Jury had been sincere, had been honest It would have indicted tho Gary Land company for having a house rented for Immoral purposes. OUTLINES BEACH PLANS. "Now we have another issue that we are talking about and that is the ba'hing beach. I see that Homer Carr said tonight that we are going to have a bathing beach In tha rear of a beer garden. That is nothing. I don't know but what he would be as good a customer as anybody. And furthermore. It wouldn't be any nearer to the beach than tho Zinzenhof and the Gary hotel ere to tho Y. M. C. A. The only objection they have to It !s that Richard Much owns the beach elte and the U. S. Steel corporation owns the other two. BEACH TO XUTUB.E. "They say that there are railroadu that will have to be crossed, that we will not bo able to get there. I want to say to you my friends that we are not getting that bathing beach for today, but for tomorrow. We are getting it for the future, when the city of Gary becomes tho city that we expect it to be. so we will have elevated railroads and wo will have a viaduct that we can go to Lake Michigan without being run over by any train. And that is in their platform, they are advocating railroad cievation and so am I. And I say that tho quicker we get it the quicker we will eliminate the danger of being rua over by trains. "Are you In favor of a harbor in the city of Gary? That Is another thin that they (Hodges and Curtis) don't stand for and what they don't dare stand for because the United States Steel corporation don't want it. Neither does Harvey (Curtis) and neither does Billy (Hodges), because the minute that they announce that is what they are for they will withdraw their power from them and their support. They are going tc be told what to do. " If you are In favor of a pnbllc harbor In the city of Oary vote ror Mayor Johnson ind you are going to get It. Why are yon going to get ltf This is the reason why: When they started to build the Indiana Steel company they filled up the rlvor or prac lcally moved it a half-mile south and cut a new channel. The government of the United States didn't consent to it. And when

they called them to account they said :he only way that we will give you consent will he to get the consent of the city of Gary. We gave the consent when they dooded us a 200-foot strip along that channel to be opened when the city of Gary demand It. Are you going: to deu'.eiu ltf If you are vote lor me and you "-1-1 ge It. "Vw i.y flo we want a publio harbor In the 0.7 of Garyr Out of seven miles of lalie front not one foot of It belen? to the city of Gary. There are buinss men here tonight, and I want you to understand now that I am not opposed to the industries of the city of Gary. I welcome them here. 1 would give them the sann consideration as I would give you or any other citizen In the city of :ary. Hut they should not expect anything more. I want to say to you that I will do everything In my power to promote the best iot- rest of every industry that Is located in the city of Gary and the business men of the city need not he alarmed If Hmer Carr or any other followers come down and say that Johnson Is not friendly to the U. S. Steel corporation because it Is not true.
