AMAZED AT STATE'S PROGRESS Senator Who Spoke in Hammond Praises States Indu trial Life.

Senator George H. Moaes of New Hampshire who spoke last week In Hammond on the issues of the campaign said on the eve of his departure yesterday from the state that his visit to Indiana has convinced him that the good Hoosler state will Join with the states cf the East and the West In giving a new deal at Washington in giving; the country the change la administrations that the American people desire. Senator Moses, who recently was renominated In the New Hampshire primary, waa Gen. Wood's Southern manager in the pre-convention contest. "The country wants a Republican President and a Republican Congress that will mean teamwork in government," he . continued. "Warren G. Harding undoubtedly is the next President. He will not become an Isolated President. He believes in co-operation, and while he serves as President he will constantly consult with the peoplj and will recognize that that Is a legislative branch of the government. SEES INCREASED PL, IT HA LIT V. "Indiana went Republican only two years ago by 50.000 and my, experience in your state causes me to be confident that the Republican plurality of 1918 will be greatly increased. Indiana women, as did the women o1 Maine and New Hampshire, undoubtedly will help to swell the Republican plurality." Mr. Mcees. who spoke last week In Hammond, Goshen, RushvUi, Klrklin, Monticello and Knightstowsv said that he came to Indiana especially to speak a good word for his friend and colleague. Senator Watson. "I believe that Senator Watson Is on the threshold of reaching a position In the United States Senate of the greatest Influence and that his re-election will give htm an opportunity of being of great service to his state and country. He is a student of taxation and revenue and I expect him to become the chairman of the great Senate finance committee before the expiration of his new'term. This will give him an opportunity of being of great service in influencing legislation for the upbuilding of American industry and the promotion of prosperity. SEW IDEA OF IJTDIAXA, "I am amazed at the progress that industry has made in Indiana. My visit here baa been a revelation to me. I had not before had an appreciation of the position that Indiana is taking as- an industrial state. Your Industrial! growth has been truly wonderful. Indiana, of course, will return Mr. Waton to the Senate. It is not enough to elect a Republican President there must be a Republican Congress as well, In order to have co-operation in working out the problems ahead." Mr. Moses not only conceded that Indiana Is a strong industrial rival to Industrial New England, but he had Ms eyes opened also to the progress that this state has made with its public school system.

WHITING WOMAN TELLS

Hammond

Registered

Monster Vote Registration Leaders of all 1-arties Find Often Vote is Trebled BII.L.ETIrllmntn at noon today placed the total rvsri tration In Ilnmmond at between 8,MM nnd S'0.K Tvro year ugo the registration for the city athowcil 4SZI while lii- total vote for arcretury of atate ra 3,721. How the enormous vote which will be cast In November is to be handled with present facilities Is a problem which has suddenly assumed gravo proportions. As a result of incomplete returns from yesterday's registration, leaders of all parties have become aware of the fact that the voting machines as now apportioned among the precincts will be inadequate to register the vote in the alloted twelve hours. Reports from various precincts show that In many cases the number of voters who registered this. year Is double and even treble the registration of four years ago. "If we could have a constant line of voters waiting at the polls and they voted at the rata of one a minute we could handle "20 lw the twelve hours the polls arc open regularly," said a prominent Republ ican today. "Anyons who has served on an election board knows that it is folly to exptct tno votes to be xung up that fast. Ther? are plenty. of people who can cast their vote In less than a minute bat the majority can be counted on to use ui from three to five minutes." In Hammond's fifteenth precinct the total registration is announced at a few over 1.050. The sixth precinct announces 65$. Two years ago the registration for these precincts was 3U9 and 352 respectively. It is evident that one voting machine will not be sufficient to handle the vote in either precincts. Several other precincts are expected to show enormous gains, for example, the seventh in which the registration two years ago was 5t2. It has been niggeted that the thirty new voting machines which were purchased by the county recently, be apportioned among the heavier precincts of North and Calunjet lownships and that the precincts for which they were Intended be allowed o use the old ballots this year. Practically every registration' board In Hammond was kcpV busy last night listing vote ttnWl fti bcttii closed at 9:00 o'clock. Houjo to house canvasses by precinct workers had taken care of the majority of those who did not register a month ago and party workers were surprised at the number which came in late.. The majority of the late arrivals were women. It Is known that many of these had not Intended to vote but had changed their minds at the eleventh hour when thy saw their first opportunity to vote slipping away. Few of the members of boards had a chance to sleep last night. All available help was used in filling out blanks and after 9 o'clock all set their hands to the task of listing and indexing the voters in the books. It was daylight this morning before many of tho boards adjourned and others did not finish until nearly non. The books are being turned over to County Auditor Foland at Crown Point today where the work of compiling the results is already under way. HAMMOND SUPERIOR COURTS Judge Retter and a.

BETZ BUILDS UP A NEW INSTITUTION i i

Betz-Barelli Co. Organization Important Factor in Region Woolens Business. ' The name Betz built up the largest hospital and Furgical supply house In the world, and it now looks favorable this name will build up one of the largest woolen organizations in the west, with the main office in Hammond, taking In tailoring establishments in both Hammond and Indiana Harbor. It was only a few weeks ago that the Beta Bros. Woolen Company was organized for the purpose of making suits and overcoats to order, from Imported woolens. Tremendous purchases, reaching Into sis figures were made in England and Scotland by Frank S. Betz. These woolen?, it Is said, were purchased at prices that enabled Betz Brothers to make suits and overcoats at practically fifty percent lower than American prices for similar product. According to a statement today by an official of the company the business has grown to such an extent It has become necessary to expand the organization and consolidation lias been madj with the E. Barelll Company of i Hammond and A. Jlorelli Company of Indiana Harbor. Mr. Barelli has been ! in the tailoring business In Hammond for fifteen years at 103 State street, w here he has built up a large clientele, principally business and . professional men. Asjociated with Mr. Barelli was A. Morelli. who conducts one of tho finest tailoring shops In Indiana Harbor at 34"'8 Guthrie street.

- 4 4 v'r I ;;..w.v.'v. (BULLETIN) Senator W. G. Harding will pass through Hammond tomorrow evening; on the Erie train which is due at 5:45 o'clock new timz. This announcement was made by Senator Harry New this afternoon to City Chairman Clyde Cleveland.! As it is the regular train, it cannot be held fcr a ten or fifteen minute speech, but the presidential candidate will speak as long as the train is standing. Efforts are hastily being made to get a big crowd out. HOW TWO COUNTY PARTIESWILL FUSE Although leaders of the Democratic and Farmer-Labor' parties made public announcement last .week that there will be no coalition county t cket composed of candidates from both tickets, a well known and prominent Gary Democrat "let It slip" yesterday that they do intend to fuse however when they cast their vote. Although the information-is not authentic, it is understood that the fusion will hit the candidacies of two Judges, treasurer and sheriff. The Farmer-Labor ticket contains no candidates for circuit Judge and criminal Judge and when they vote they will mark the democratic ballot for these two offices. The Democratic ticket has no candidate for the office ef county treasurer, nor for therlff and it has been agreed to reciprocate with the Farmer-labor party and the democrats will vote for their candidates for this office. The Farmer-Labor party also has a full legislative ticket in the field, but the democrats made no nomination for one state representative. The democrats will also be asked to support this Farmer-Labor candidate. Republican workers and candidates are not in the least worried with this arrangement however for according to the betting odds that are now being given by the - republican leaders and ni takers, there is every prospect of the republican party electing the entire ticket.
