Crump Will Have to Hump.

Congressman Crumpacker may have opposition for renomination in two years. A. F. Knotts, the hustling and popular mayor of Hammond, who was in the city yesterday, says the LaPorte Argus admits that he has his eye on the position that now occupied by Crumpaoker. If no other candidates come out against Crumpacker Mr. Knotts said he will not make the race in two years. If ever Crumpacker gets out of the way, however, he declared, he intends to be a candidate, and if a fight ever develops against the congressman of such proportions that he thinks there is a chance to beat Crumpacker in a fair race, he admitted he will make ttjje attempt.
