Crlct, as Democrats.
With the lists closed tonight the poll
ticians will begin to speculate on the
candidates who will withdraw The city
board of election commissioners has
ruled that Withdrawals may be made up
to the midnight Of April s.
In the meantime the candidates are en-
tering the final month Of the primary
campaign. Chief interest centered in the
three leading Republican candidates for
mayor, Mr.. Shank, Mr., Robson and Mr..
Howe. These men have been actively in
the race for more than month and all
are offering tangible results Of their
work to the public appraisal.
ADVANTAGES
OF CANDIDATES.
While the three chief candidates are
busy on their speaking schedules in all
parts Of the city all were still busy per
fecting their organization In this Mr.
Shank and Mr. Howe appeared to have
a slight advantage over Mr., Robson
Mr.. Howe has the Jewett -Roemler-
Lemcke county organization as a frame
work for his staff Of workers. The 1000
or more city and county employees whom
the triumvirate claim to control are be-
ing whipped into line for Mr.. Howe. Mr..
Shank had the workers be had four years
ago as a skeleton for his organization.
His organization work has progressed So
rapidly and smoothly in the hands of DR..
Z. z. Hodgin and Louis w. Carnefix that
today IL Is farther advanced than that of
either Of the other candidates. Mr..
Shank's women's organization appeared
to be particularly strong. There are at
least 1900 women. Of all creeds and so
clal standing, actively working for Mr.
! Shank. There is not a precinct in In
dianapolls In which there are not from
one 10 fifteen active workers
Mr.. Robson has had to construct his
organization from the ground up. Pick
| ing his men and women from the ranks
of those bitterly opposed to the present
, city administration and the personal
/ friends who fought for him in former
years, when he was running for county
| treasurer and member of the board of
| school commissioners he has succeeded
so far in getting lines laid In practically
all Of the precincts OF the city. Within
| few days, his leaders claim, the entire
| city will be covered.
ESHANK COVERS
MORE GROUND.
Mr.. Shank has covered more ground in
his speaking campaign than the other
4 candidates He has invaded the north,
south, east and ,Sest sections and some
what to the surprise even of his cam
| paign managers met with the same en-
thusiasttc approval In precincts formerly
| considered as antagonistic TO him as he
/ did in those districts where he is the
| hero of entire families. Mr. Shank has
covered about one third OF the city in
this fashion.
The Robson speaking tour has led
chiefly into the negro wards, where his
present strength apparently is great.
y II
the north side occasionally with what he
regards as gratifying results. Only one
Robson meeting has been held in the
south side. 1t was understood that the
candidate intended to start his invasion
of this section in earnest Within the next
two weeks.
Mr Howe has held a large number OF
secret organization meetings. but has
only permitted the public to catch a.
| glimpse OF him on one or two occasions.
His sneechmaking was expected to be OF
the whirlwind, wind-up variety during
the final month.
Mr.. Robson Is counting a great deal
/ on his women's organization. Some of
the ablest women politicians in the city
are gathered at his womens headquar-
ters in the Traction Terminal building.
CITY HALL
INVADED.
| There have been many reports to the
| effect that both Mr.. shank and Mr. Robi-
! son have been cutting into Mr.. Howe's
| hold on city and county employees. While
! X was regarded as true that a great many
more in this class than the Howe man
| ayers seem to realize are not sincerely
! interested in Mr. Howe there was no
! great number out working openly for
Mr. Shank and Mr.. Robson. Managers
for the latter candidates have uniformly
advised city and county employees who
have volunteered to work for them that
1t would be wisest for them to go through
| the motions of supporting Mr.. Howe in
order to hold their jobs and support their
| families. but secretly to sap the HIVE
organization whenever possible, It is I'M
| derstood.
