The appetite of the public for poiiti. I'll oratory appears to have been appeased. As the political reporter said in Saturday's paper, the voters have nia.de tjp their minds. For that reason it will be with an tffort that the tivo parties f.ll their halls the remainder of the week. The public is fed up on the campaign and ready to vote now. The campaign began too early. The democrats have rented the Ortt:eum. Do Luxe and Huehn's hall for Thursday night and the republicans have the Orpheum and DeEuxe for Friday night. Ed. Simon and C. B. Tmkha.ri will be the democrat orators. Realizing that the public is tiring of

The. republicans held meetings on the north side, Hessville and at the I.yndora hotel last night while the d- ntocrats had a meeting at the Saxony school. Tonight the republicans have a meeting at the Lafayette svhool at which Edwin Frederichs and the mayor will speak. The democrats have a meeting at Hessville school. Attorney Charles Dyer spoke on the waterworks project to a good crowd at the Lyr.dora hotel iast night. W. J. Me.Vieer spoke at Hessville, Ed. Simon spoke at Saxony.

TUXX TO III EX E.IOUS As far as the camraign is to be taken in a humorous way we have had our fun. An end of frivclityl For the remainder of the week let us compose outminds and face the serious business of

electing a mayor with the decorum and seemliness that becomes an earnest citizenry. The aspiring O. Henry's who gather and compile the news for the paper have gone far enough. Be it known that It was a frame-up ri Judee Reiter and did not represent the political sentiments of the assem bled guests, and that the ninth ward Is ."till the rock-ribbed republican f-trong-hold on which hangs the hopes of Ma r Brown's re-election. Now that the Booth Tarkingt"n:. George Ades and Abe Martins in the reportorial department have been properly chastised, it Is hoped there will be - more ribaldry and lese majesty. It has been pointed out by the leaders of both parties that this is a cruel, ii time in the history of Hammond and that upon the decision of the votef at the polls, Saturday, hinges the detiny of a city! There has been too much jest on the platform and in the rress. the cttv

chairmen will tell you, admitting that they arc perhars in part to blame. THE SERIOUS SIDE Full up a chair and we'll trj- and Interpret the psychology of the campaign.

After hearing Attorneys McAleer and Tinkham spcahi m the respective halls of the parties one

"Hello, Tink." BOTH HONEST MEN Mr. Brown arises and declares with heat that Mr. Simon is a politician. Mr. Simon retaliates with the bitter denouncement that while Mr. Brown may be an honest mayor he Is a poor one In other words, as they say in the Fol lies. "She's a good girl but a poor one." It is about as tame as a prize fight between Sam McVey and Sam Langford the. dusky brother-in-laws. It has been a frolicsome campaign but now we are admonished we must be serious while the democrats go into heavy conference and try and conjure up some reason why Pan Brown should not be re-elected. Their best reason so far has been that Ed. Simon would make a good mayor but that is hardly sufficient to win votes from the republican side. This is a week of thinking it over. The two parties will have their revia; meetings at the Orpheum and DeLuxe theaters Thursday and Friday nights and their speakers will quarrel over the technicality as to whether sprinkling or
