DellTtred "by TXMXS Carriers In Hammond and. Wert Hammond, BOc Par Month. Ou Streets and Nswa Stands. 3c Par Copy. QlieStBOEB Question Though Out Of Politics Is Very Much Alive. (Bj The Political Reporter Vfter the parties have selected ther candidates at the primary and the campaign for th November election begins he amalgamation of East Chicago, Tndiana Harbor and Hammond is expected to become a paramount issue. It was originally intended that the referendum vote for arralsra.mation - lou'.d be hold at the coming primary, w-jt it has been adrcitly postponed tctil November as a more opportune time On petition of 10 per cent of the voters of the respective cities it will bs placed on the ballot next fall and if carried will go into effect at the expiration of the terms of office of tha Incumbent officials -which will be in 1925. POrtLAR SENTIMENT FOR IT Popular sentiment is so strongly ir. .'avor of amalgamation thru no candidate dare come out against it. The desire to outstrip Gary in population to have a central government and the "concmy of maintaining only one city haU. enter into the general demand for amalgamation. In East Chicago and Indiana Harbor. Mayor Leo McCorraack and J K. Reppa. are for amalgamation with unqualified declarations. Mayor Pan Brown. Charles Friedxlch and Ed'ard Simon, leading candidates for mayor of Hammond, arc friendly to amalgamation. Although amalgamation ' out of politics to all intents and Purposes it will bo made an Issue in the campaign because the election machinery is in the hands of the city administrations and th. voter favoring amalgamation must be assurred that the candidate for mayor la favorable -I believe the time has come for the amalgamation of East Chicago and Hammond." declared Mayor Leo Mcrnrmidv of East Chicago. 'Amalgamation must eventually come and 1 see no reason why it should "be delayed" said his opponent. J. X. Reppa. I am heartily In favor of amalgamate " declared James Johnston, another of the republican candidates in East Chicago. SIMON CHAMPIONS CAtTsE. Edward Simon of whom It is said by Hammond republicans that the democrats have- no other politician with as great a following. Is expected to fay tha Mayor Brown administration for its alleged dilatory tactics with the amalgamation nuestion. following the lead of Reppa in East Chicago who is quoting Mayor McCormack as having discouraged amalgamation a year ago in order to serve out his term and run for re-election. Simon Is la Hot Springs where- he will remain for at least ten days before plunging Into the- Hammond primary. Before leax-ing, however, he W it to known that amalgamation would be one of the Issues. ADVANTAGES OF AMALGAMATION. Tha advantages of amalgamation can not be disputed. On set of city officios and the maintenance of but one city hall is the smallest Item of the economy that amalgamation will bring about. The united cities with a popaulatlon of 80,000 would have sufficient borrowing power to rebuild and modernize the ivater works. It would be possible to plan and execute a system of parks and boulevards. ereato an adeoaate uniform sewage system and make- the needed improvements without make-shift. Uniform contracts with the public utilities would save the embarrassment that was experienced when Hammond had an S cent street car (fare and Ea3t Chicago a five cent fare. The amalgamated cities would have a far greater prestige, an increased advertising value, and more political influence at Indianapolis. They would be larger than Gary and able to prevent political dictation from the steel city. And the only disadvantages of amalgamation are thoae which would be Buffered by a few office holders compelled to sacrifice the convenience of the public pay envelope for the welfare of the community. CORK MAYOR GETS LIVELYRECEPTION VThat was one cf the most rousing reeepticna erer tendered to an official visitor to the City of East Chicago was ihe honors extended to Donal O'Cal-1 laghan, lord mayor of Cork, and eue-j teesor to Lord Mayor McSwiney. The) lord mayor of Cork addressed a large! audler.ee Sunday night at Maon!c hall, where Mayor Leo McOormack f presided. Judge Cohen also spoke. J His worship recited the present conditions in Ireland, especially around Cork, where the times have been most1 stormy. The doughty Irishman. It will be remembered, came to America in January an a stowaway. Efforts were made to deport him, and temporarily he was Ispued a seaman's certificate, and in the meantime h'j case is being reviewed at "Washington. Watch, and wait for the second rasa '.

John M. Stinson Supports Greenwald An error was made yesterday when it was stated lu the new;; story of the primary race In Hammond that J. K. Stinson ha sponsored the catididac) of l;iil 'ijreeliw a Id. Instead John M Stinson was meant. In view of tiie inadvertent mistake, John M. Stlnon took occasion to explain his political alliance with Oreenwa'id. who seeks the republican nomination for city Judge. "It is my admiration for a oung man of intelligence and integrity that brings mo into the primary race as Greenwald's advisor." fiated John M Minson. ""When Greenwaid cimo to Hammond from tie university In 1913 he set right to work establishing liimseit not only ih practic. bit in Ia.mmond as well. His U gal pract:ce grew he ms'lc investments, became tlv director of a brink and was well entrenched when the war came, lie let's to serve hl.a country and upon his return resumed h! caree r ti hr- he had 'eft off.

I'et'ocrc"', 3 Webb street, on charges of assault and battery and surety of the peace, a tale was unfolded that tn;y recall the "da; .s of real sport" to many an erstwhile sninl! boy. who iceps the fields of memory green. Yesterday Mrs. Charie? E. Forkner. o 'Webb street, swore out a warrant for the arrej-t of I'i 1 1 ycre '.v. It is ailegcd that the man became anjtrc because the boys 'of tile nei shborhooj played bail ne-.r his home. It mav be that the ball rolled r,vr into his yard once or twice, and Pettycrew wa.-? much incensed at the lads. The witnesses, who will appear a?aln;t him, say that the man hot at th; boyj with a shotgun, and threatened their lives more than once. Those who will assist Mrs. F"iknr in !h prosecution are. Mr. Fo-kner and children, the sens of George Hantiauer, Mate j,ine anjd Ruth streets; John C. Agnew, 12 Webb street, and Carl Avclson, i Warren street. The kids around W'ebb .street are feeling pretty good about the affair for they are used to getting the blame like most boys, and to have the neighborhood grouch, as they call him, arrested on their account, is a little too good to be true. You can probably remember "way back when" you were a li'd and th grouch in your town was always pick'n.? on the fellers.
