"It gets late early nowadays," said a young Irish lady to one of our men the other day. We all know what she meant . Whereas, before the change from daylight saving to standard time we had a chance of getting home and having our evening meal before it was dark, reveron to standard time has changed that. Putting the clock an hour forward, combined with the fact that daylight is growing scarcer every day, means that lights will be burning much longer than they did last month. Also, the weather grows colder and hot meals grow more popular. This means more gas will be used for cooking. These changes are bound to be reflected in your gas and electric bills at the end of the month.

Been Conducted:

Eas

By an Organization Dominated by Demagogs For the Purpose of Concealing Real Issues. With the Determination to Fool the People. The Attempts to Fool the People

Vere as Follows:

1. The early attempts to charge Mayor Dan Brown with "Blue Law" enforcement. This was to catch the so-called "liberal" vote. This blundering move failed because Brown's record of four years discredited such an attempt. THEY DIDN'T FOOL THE PEOPLE THAT TIME. 2. SO the Simon supporters turned completely around and laboriously attempted to build up a case against Brown of laxity in !av enforcement. This blundering move failed when law abiding citizens on all sides judges, federal officers, the United States commissioner, and scores of business men arose VOLUNTARILY to the defense of Brown's police department. THEY DIDN'T rOOL THE PtOPLE THAT TIME. 3 SIX MONTHS AGO the democratic plan was to charge Dan Brown's administration with the failure to solve the water problem. The water shortage was to be used against Brown in sp:;te of the fact that WAR EMBARGOES and HIGH PRICES had prevented the actual commencement of work of rehabilitation. THEN WHEN CONDITIONS WERE FAVORABLE to letting contracts DAN BROWN ACTED. ThEY DIDN'T FOOL THE EOPLE THAT TIME. 4. Then when the Simons forces saw that Brown intended to go ahead and build a water works they got all ready to declare that the present administration had no business to go ahead and spend half a million of dollars of the peoole's money without having competent engineering advice. BROW N took t..e wind out of their sails by announcing the plan to employ John Erickson, for nearly forty years the consulting engineer of the City of Chicago, in the building of its wonderful water works system. lHcl WJi 1 FOOL THE PEOPLE THAT TIME. 5 And when Erickson was employed the democrats went to Michigan City and other places in the hope of getting something ON the new engineer. They poured over old musty court records ' f'." a' limits to discredit this famous engineer. THEY FAILED UTTERLY. THEY DIDN'T FOOL THE PEOPLE THAT TIME. 6 And then Attorney Floyd Murray, at the behest of the democratic organization, in the Parthenon meeting stultified himself to the extent of making the charge that John Erickson's fee as consulting engineer was to be split 60-40; the 60 being paid to city officials in GRAFT and the 40 of the fee going to Erickson himself. President Albert J. Swanson denied the charge, demanded proof and a retraction. NEITHER PROOF NOR RETRACTION WERE MADE but you will notice in the "Simonizer' containing the account of Murray's remarks at the Parthenon theatre no reference to the charge was , mde SUCH REMARKS ARE LIBELOUS AND CRIMINAL and the chances were too great. ThEY DIDN T rOOL 1HL PEOPLE THAT TIME. 7. Then the Simons forces thought they would fool the people by attacking the water works plan itself. People do not like to pay taxes. Let's get them stirred up at the prospect of having to pay the $00.000.00 to be spent in water works extensions. Let's make them think, said the demagogues, they can get relief without spending any money. So they cooked up their plan to cut olr the neighboring city of West Hammond and force small users to provide meters. IT SO HAPPENS WEST HAMMOND assesses all extensions against its own citizens and pays enough for water to almost pay the interest on the whole outlay and besides is commercially such an asset to Hammond that such a proceeding is unthinkable. SO THEY DIDN'T FOOL THE PEOPLE THAT TIME. 8 "Ah," said the generalissimo of the Simons forces, "the people do not like corporations. Corporations can't fight back in a campaign. We will take advantage of the fact that war conditions made utility rates high and fool the people into voting for us on that score." And so with an appalling ignorance of the subject they charged Dan Brown with responsibility for high rates heri the public knows that RATE INCREASES WERE FOUGHT JOINTLY BY GARY. WHITING. EAST CHICAGO and HAMMOND before a puplic utility commission appointed by the governor of the state, and Hammond had to take just what its neighboring cities got in the way of rate increases. 1HLY DIDN 1 rUUL iMt PEOPLE THAT TIME. 9 They proposed to get a lot of votes by making the public think that corporation attorneys were running the Brown administration because two prominent lawyers were doing some constructive work for the school city. Then to show their insincerity they finally in desperation brought into the democratic campaign as Simon speakers attorneys who represent The Standard Oil Company. . The New York Central Lines. The Pennsylvania Lines. The stone trust which has bled Lake County. The principal road contractors in Lake County. THEY DIDN'T FOOL THE PEOPLE THAT TIME.

10 The Simons forces are trying desperately by raising other issues to make the people forget the DO NOTHING record of the democrats during the 12 years of rule preceedmg that of Dan brown the
