of it that's as much as President Hard
ing got.
Judge Pritchard praised City Chairman
Irving w. Lemaux and his father, the
late George Lemaux, stating that the
thousands who revere the father know
the son inherits his fathers worth"
The task of making one Of the chief
appeals to the negroes apparently had
been assigned to Judge Pritchard. Re
ferring to statements made at a Demo
cratic meeting a week ago he declared:
THE first appeal from our opponents
is an appeal to race prejudice, an appeal
that should not be made. They say
that We should not vote for Mr.. Shank
because negroes are for him. At the
some time they are trying to assert
there is no politics in this campaign"
He said that the race question had
been settled by Abraham Lincoln more
than fifty years ago, and that we must
now settle our differences without "riot
clubs, whether it be on the Gulf of
Mexico or in the Eighth Precinct of the
First Ward" Instead Of melting preJn.
dice we should at all times be trying to
encourage a calm state of public mind.
the speaker said.
In case the emergency should ever
arise when this administration Of Mr..
Shank's should ever have to assert its
supremacy Mr.. Shank would be backed
up by a Republican Governor with troops
and Republican Government with Fed
eral troops" he said.
REFERS TO SIZE
OF THE CROWD.
There is only one man in Indianapo-
lis who could bring a crowd of this size
i .A,-aa- II
doorstep, and that one man is Lew
shank" said Judge Robinson. ut would
be an interesting experiment for the
Democratic candidate to have a meeting
on his own front lawn. understand
that the people on the south side were
so impetuously anxious to see him that
a meeting which had been extensively
az yertised six people turned out. If
RclstOn could see this meeting l think
b.. d give up the ghost right away. Many
Democrats are here and they are going
TO vote the Republican ticket because
they believe it means the political sal
walton Of Indianapolis" Applause fol
lowed.
Mind you, I don't know anything
about the Democratic candidate for
mayor excepting what representative
Democrats have told me and they come
10 us UNSOLICITED anu tell me ne won
dO-and God knows If he won't do for
the Democrats he won't do for the Re
publicans. These Democrats have come
to me and said that they made a terrible
mistake when they nominated the man
they did, and although they are nor
going TO say much about it they would
vote for Shank"
EXPLAINS REFERENCE
TO NATIONAL EFFECT.
Mr.. Ralston several days ago scored
the Republicans for seeking support
upon the ground that the National Ad-
ministration must be upheld. Judge
Robinson said II was a remark Of his
which the Democratic candidate was at
lacking and reiterated his position,
which he said was that the whole Nation

give an overwhelming Republican major
fty and thereby express confidence in
what he termed the remarkable record
the Harding Administration is making.
They know that II we elect Lew Shank
and the Republican ticket that II means
that Indianapolis, great city that she IS.
intends to support President Harding in
his gigantic task" said Robinson
He recalled that Mr.. Ralston has
spoken Of Mr.. Shank not being an "edu.
Gated man"
Il never heard Of Ralston solving the
fourth dimension or getting any prizes in
scholarship" said the Judge, adding that
real education Is that which is picked up
along the pathway OF life and that Lew
Shank excells in this.
Mr.. Jackson (Bie jack attacked the
Democrats for the attitude toward the
negro race and said he does not consider
Ralston a at man to appeal for Repub-
lean support because he is backed by
W. W. Spencer whom he heard say in
1908 that II he had his own way he
would take a club and drive every negro
out OF Marion county"
Tolerance will be sovereign when Lew
Shank sits in the mayors chair" he
said.
I'm glad that Lew Shank has some
faults. I'm tired of impeccability. I'm
glad that he uses slang in his speeches"
said Mr.. Rucker
G. Carlton Guy. Miss Bonnie May and
two negro quartets sang between
speeches.
