some time to a discussion of Ed. j.
Robson, an opponent in the race for
the Republican nomination for mayor,
in speech at 54S West Washington

Mr.. Robson with being opposed to
the interests of the laboring classes
and touched lightly on his business
record.
"I don't wish to injure a mans repu-
tation just because he is my opponent in
politics" said Mr. Shank, but I think
it due the people of indianapolis that
some one warn them to look into Mr..
Robison's business career. From what l
know of it | do not think him qualified
to give the city the businesslike ad-
mfnistration he is promising"

members Of the council, which he said
grew out of the mayors desire 10 ignore
properly constituted city officials and to
let certain Columbia Club friends run the
city.
1.-THE confident, .paternalistic attitude
of the News-Jewett crowd is due for a
rude shake-up this spring" said Mr.. Car
nefx. "Such fragrant hypocrisy won't
deceive the people any longer. While the
Indianapolis News urged the people TO
wake up and choose their own candidate,
Professor Howe, the News own candi-
date, is busy assuring the people that the
