In Indiana.

Indianapolis, November 2.-In the NUM-
cipal election held throughout Indiana to-
day the republicans scored several import
ant victories. the most vital of which
was in Indianapolis. Samuel Lewis Shank,
the republican candidate for mayor, and
the entire republican ticket were elected
by majorities ranging from 1000 TO 1900.
The republicans also defeated the DEM
ocrats at Evansville, where Charles +.
Holman was elected mayor over John j.
Nolan, the present mayor. At Fort
Wayne, Jesse Grice, the republican can
didate for mayor, and all the other can
didates on his ticket were elected by
small majorities. Further victories were
won by the republicans at Richmond,
Charlottesville and other small cities of
the state.
The democrats carried South Bend,
Muncie, Lafayette and probably Terre
Haute and some smaller cities. The cleo
lions all over the state passed off quietly,
except at Terre Haute, where there was
great deal of wrangling at the polls
and some arrests were made, and at
Evansville, where the day was one OF
disputes between political workers.

WHY BILLY SMITH
LEFT ATLANTANS
MANAGER HAD TROUBLE WITH
ASSOCIATION OVER THE MAT
TER OF TAKING EXTRA PLAYER
WEST WITH HIM.

Atlanta, November Especial )--Apro-
pos the recent engagement by the Buffalo,
n. Y, baseball team of BILLY Smith as
manager. the real story of why he left
Atlanta has never been told.
Having won two pennants for Atlanta 1t
was natural to presume that he was an
AL favorite, both with the Atlanta fans
and with the management of the Atlanta
team. Just why the fans were not more
strongly with him 1t is difficult to say, in
asmuch as he got results, but the fact
that he lacked popularity with them for
some reason or other was demonstrated
in the comparatively scant response to
calls for subscriptions to give him testi-
monial present in honor of his victory.
But more persistent has been the aues-
ton as to why the Atlanta management
let him go after he had. apparently, done
so well for the team. According to the
story that is told among those who claim
to be familiar with the inside details,
Smith had a row with some of the Of
ficials of the Atlanta management who
wanted him to do their way while he
wanted to do his.
This is said to have illuminated Wheh'
upon one occasion he insisted that he was
going to take certain player west with
the team, although it was known the
player in question was physically incapac-
itated and could not take part in game.
It is said the secretary and treasurer OF
the Atlanta club objected to this useless
expense. whereupon Smith informed him
he was captain of the team and would do
as he saw fit. The reply was not TO
Smiths liking, and he is said to have told
the secretary and treasurer with some
emphasis that he might go to a place
where the climate Is considerably warmer
than that of Atlanta in the summer time
The secretary and treasurer did not go
to the place named in the conversation, as
is apparent by the fact that he is still
here, while at the end of the season Cap
tain Billy Smith found himself looking
for another job, while Otto Jordan,
former Atlanta captain. had his place.
Smith has finally landed in Buffalo.
Jordan at one time had serious diff
ficulty with an Atlanta newspaper man,
but that has all blown over and been al
most forgotten. However, Jordan has
hard work to do to follow up the record
of Smith in winning flags.
