Gitizans' Party Ticket in Hammond Goes Into fower With All M3inl)3rs Elected But Two Democrats and One

The democratic political machine manufactured by Lawrence Becker sixteen years ago the most powerful

i juggernaut in its time that Lake county ever knew was i junked and scrapped yesterday by the crusaders enrolled with so much zeal and fire under the banner of the citizens' party. It was a good old wagon, but it broke down when it met the latest standard model, high grade, conpleteiy equipped, self-starting, non-skidding, wire-wheeled, mechanically perfsct, fully-bumpered, sweli-upholstered, velvctrunning, beautifully finished 72 h. p. twin six McMahan-Citizeno. The impact i was terrible and Chauffeur Smalley, one of the most careful and efficient driv- : crs, was put hors-du-combat.

The -wreckage .f the I lenie c: a t ic nri' hine was strewn from blast Ha::ii'lotid to Jlobertsdale, and Lan:el llpiivn, candidate for mayor n the Citizens ticket, was carried throosh to victory with a majority over Smalley ..f 7"' votes. Early last even in a:, two Isours after J C-..- p.dls had closed. ebf. at was; spelled for the democrats. It was; evident t,hat the sixteen years "f tenure j in office of th iM mocrats was at an j end.

The promise j of the Committee of Fifteen citizens that met at the Country club earlv in i the spiinc: and merged their various j political faiths into a Citizens ticket i j to secure a ehanze of administration ' ! was beincr fulfilb-d. The campaign con-! ducted hv Judsre Mt-Mahan had been a jhutre success. j I THEY WERE AFTER MCH1E. I Mayor John Smalley was not repisdiated by the voters of Hatiimond yesterday.
