At that time the 1'oard of I'-leetiorr tommiPS!io,ers consisted of T. V. Kichards, City Clerk, Rae M. Royce and Karl i).

Richards handed Wickey the oil petition and Wickey stepped out hi the clerk's office and asked Richards to mark same re-filed. Twym.n and Harris immediately asked the' petitions to be filed. It was apparent 1c Tvyi .,in and Xorris that there was ri'e-p.rranwed pton tn the part of Wic-

liey '-ad l.tchards to allow Wickey to reila i he oUl o:-soleto petition. bTJCLXITO TOS TIKE Ar.3 tb is the matter stood. The members of the Callahan party repeatedly asked the Hoard of Election CommisPk'tiers to take up the matter and deride who was entitled to the name of f'itlzen!' party and the use of the Star t-a a party emblem. Both the Callahan ticket and Wickey had filed their petitIon ask'n?! for the name Citizens' party nnl tee t:r as an emblem. The Board of El ic.ti -.in Commissioners refused and fa'U-d to take any action in the matter t-ntll alter the expiration of the fifteen d iy peri cd w hich closed last Jlonday, C- iober 2ith. On last Tuesday, October 2 -3th. there was a meeting of the Board ni Kl-jctlon. Commissioners. All rnatl?n corc?in'.r? the filing of petitions end cor.'.nrAie of nomination were to bo taken uj r-t this meeting. Frank CalUr-ai .nd his associates were repref.n.vl by Frank X. Gavit, P. A. Tarks. i'.n P. layman, J. W. Srissey and oti.-!f. ;;cH.ier Wickey nor Keenan who h..t' flod a petition some time In October, -were prew-i.t. Neither was ther my or.- ot tV.e meeting reprsentin?? Wickey or 7;.-r.an. The Board of Election '7-ifiii.s!'j.-i-i-s b tailed on the matter, and It win hours before they would " , - -iid do. Finally at .x .v ... , H i Frank X. Gtvit and , . -: .. - Ottenhelmer had a ,, B.itd that he and Rich-

aids would vote for and which Xorrls said he would oppose. This motion provided that Wickey and Keenan were to be placed on the ballot under the namo of Citizens' party with the Star as an emblem, and Frank Callahan and his associates were to be placed on the

j ballot under the narde of Independent I Party with the Shield as an emblem. To (this the Callahan party objected and immediately took Pteps to file an action

In court to require the Board of Election Commissioners to grant them the name of Citizens' party with the Star as an emblem. On Wednesday, October 6th, this suit was filed In the Lake Superior court at Gary, before JudKe Charles E. Greenwald and was returnable the next day, Thursday, October 27th, at p. m. It has been apparent to those who have closely watched these proceeding that the Reppa forces were back of Wickey and Keenan. Wickey was in Chicago the greater part of Wednesday, October 26th, th cday the suit was filed in the Gary Superior Court, and there is no reason to believe that be knew that the suit was being filed, and yet the Reppa forces were watching every move taken by the Callahan party. The complaint was filed In the clerk's office of the Oary Superior court tubout 3:00 p. m. on Wednesday. October 26, and on the same afternoon about 8:09 p. m. Glenn Peters of thfs firm of B amberger and Peters, went to the clerk's office and secured a copy of the complaint and entered an appearance for Kd Wickey. SCABS AT ftABT On Thursday, October 27, at 1:00 p. m., the case was callod in the Gary Superior Court. I. Ij. Bomberger of the firm of Bomberger & Peters, filed an affidavit for Wickey asking for a change of venue from Lake county.

Tha attorneys fr CailBlian -and hi as

sociates believing that the law entitled Wickey to a change from the county, did not object, but asked that the

transcript be sent to Porter county in-

stanter, and Judge Greenwald made

an order to this effect. The clerk im

mediate! ypfl-epared the transcript and

same was delivered to the office of the clerk of tha Porter Circuit Court at Valparaiso at 5:00 p. n:. the same day, and the attorneys for Callahan and his

associates fcsked Judge Lorlng of the Porter Otrcrtit Court to take up the matter the wxt morning, which vm B-riday. Octo--r 28. On Friday. October 28, at 9. no a. m..

a large number of Callahan followers went to the Court Home at Valparaiso. There was not a single Keppa follower present other than "Johnny" Keenan. but Wickey and Kenan, and

Ottenhelmer and Kiclia-rds, S tue Board of Election Comniirsloners. were represented by attorneys. Wickey's attorneys asked for a

struck Jury, which would mean tnat

the case could not be tried before Monday. Novembe r7, which was the day before election. To which request the attorneys for Callahan Ou

jecved and the whole day was spent by

Judge goring In hearing arguments

for and against the granting ft a jury

trial and the granting of a struck

Jury, la case the suit was tnaoie o.v a Jury. At 5:00 p. tn. Judge Lor i tig announced that he would announce his

decision the next day, Saturday. On Saturday, October 2SUh. Judge Lorlng announced that ho would grant Wickey a struck jury and set the case for Monday, November 7th. The Callahan followers saw it wouTd be futile to wait until that dw to try tbe case and agreed among- themselves that they would accept the action of the Board of Flection Commissioners In awarding them the name of Independent Party and the Shield a an emblem, regardless of how unjust they thought the action of the Board of Election Commissioners was. They immediately took step to give as full a publicity as possible of the Independent Party to their name, and went forth confident that during ten days they could reach every voter of the city and make him or her familiar with the situation and let every voter know that if they desired to vote for

Callahan and his associates on electoln day, it was only necessary to make a cross within the circle containing the Shield and Independent Ticket and at the head of which ticket read, "For Mayor, Frank Callahan." CALLAHAN BVJUB WIHNEB The Callahan forces are confident of winning. They believe they will carry the city on election day by at least two to one. They believe the have gained hundreds Of votes in the city Iiy the crooked polities practiced by Ottenhelmer and Richards with Wiov.,y and Keppa in stealing thir name and emblem. They believo the fairminded people of this city do not believe and stand for eucu crooked methods, and that the falr-mlodcd and patriotic peopel of this city will repudiate the rtepjpa ticket and the Reppa followers for the part that thev took In this matter Just as they Hff repudiate Reppa fo rthe action he took in attempting to put over a ticket in 1917 which was to be composed of no native born Americans.

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG It's Easy If You Know Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets. The secret of keeping young is to feel young to do this you must watch your liver and bowels there's no need of having a sallow complexion dark rings under your eyes--pimples--a bilious look in your face dull eyes with no sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninet yper cent of all eickness comes from inactive bowels and liver. Dr. Kdwarda, a well-known physician in Ohio, perfected a vegetable compound mired with olive oil to act on the liver and bowels, which he gave to his patients for years. Pr. Kd wards' Oliver Tablets .the substitute for calomel, are gentle in their action yet always effective. They bring about that natural .buoyancy which all should enjoy by toning tip the. liver and clearing the system of impurities . Br. Kdwards' Olive Tablets are known by tht-ir olive color. 15c and 30c. Adv.
