No One Guessed that Harding
Would Be Left Behind So
Badly by the Votes.
NOW EXPECTS SUCCESS
FOR CANDIDATE AuGuRs WELL
FOR THE PARTY At THE
ELECTION.

Indianapolis, Aug. 7.-For mayor,
Samuel Lewis Shank. republican;
Charles A. Gauss, democrat.
For City clerk, Edward A. RAMSAY,
republican; Joseph P. Turk. democrat.
For police judge, James A.~Collins,
republican; Adoplh G. Emhardt demo-
crat.
Samuel Lewis Shank's official mai
ority over w N. Harding in the race
for the republican nomination for ma
yor is $500.
Even his most sanguine supporters
had never imagined any such victory
as that which he achieved at Thurs
days primaries. He received 1920
votes and Harding 5.OOS.
Shank easily led the entire repub-
lican ticket, with Fred c. Owen. can
didate for council in the Fourth dis
trict, second. Owen had a plurality
Of GAS. James A. Collins for police
Judge came third, having a majority
over Phillip Wilkinson of 5,526.
The victory of Charles A. Gauss
over Charles b. Clarke and William
E Kroll was also decisive, but his plu-
rality was only 1852. The vote for
democratic candidates for mayor, as
ofhcially announced was: Gauss, S,66S;
Clark, 5.os6. and KrQll. 1913.
Large Republican Vote.
The percentage of the normal repub-
lican vote which was cast at the pri-
maries was also surprise to the poll
ticians. The total vote cast for may
orally candidates by the republicans
was 1928. The total vote cast for
Charles A. Bookwalter at the election
four years ago was 25.9SS. The total
democratic vote for the mayoralty
candidates Thursday was 14,767. The
vote for John w. Holtzman at the cleo
tion four years ago was 24,327.
All of the candidates on both tickets
whether they were successful in their
contests or not, were more than glad
yesterday that the primaries were
over. The campaign had required as
much time and effort, and incidentally
as much money as campaign for cleo
ton.
And within a month or so we have
got to start out and do 1t all over
again." was the expression Of one oi
the tired, but happy nominees.

Washington. Aug. boys who play
marbles for keeps are gamblers and
are liable for punishment for violation
of the law. according to the decision
handed down by Judge kimball in one
Of the most unusual cases ever brought

pating In game OF chance. The
charge lodged by the policeman MAX

THE playing OF marbles for keeps
Is violation Of the law he said. ''and

SquabbIe Resulted from Duty
On Petroleum Clause
In Payne's Bill.
REQUIRED TO CHANGE
INDIANA MAN HAD BEEN HARD
WORKER FOR MEASURE BUT
sTAtD ON COMMITTEE TO
AVOID MESS.

washington, Aug. THE Washing
ton Times, under imposing headlines,
today publishes what it claims is the
story back of Representative Crum-
packers resignation from the ways
and means committee. The Times as
serts that he would have resigned long
ago except for his aversion to creating
a party scandal. The Times account
follows:
Representatives are not in the habit
of resigning from the ways and means
especially in circumstances which
make reasonably certain that they
may be retained The reading Of the
letter of resignation caused a mild
sensation, for everybody realized that
back of it there was some remarkable
story.
Had Served on Committee.
"Mr. Crumpacker was on the COM
mittee throughout the preparation of
the Payne bill. and he had been a hard
worker. After the measure had been
completed and was ready for reporting
to the house the fight over the election
of speaker and the readoption of the
old rules came up. 1t became sharp and
close and it presently became apparent
that the life of the old organization
and the old rules hung in the balance
and by most slender thread.
'At the very crisis OF this fight the
republican members of the ways and
means committee were told on the
highest authority of the house organ
ization that they would have to reor-
ganize the bill SO far as concerned its
relation to the duty on petroleum.
Under the Dingley act petroleum was
subject to countervailing duty. The
committee had removed this and
placed petroleum unqualifiedly on the
free list.
Contemplated Resignation.
"Crumpacker was so disgusted that
he spent three days in solemn contem-
plation of whether he would not write
the speaker a letter. resigning at once
