man. Let me tell you what I call a real
business man. business man is man
who earns S12 a week and supports n
wife and five or six children oh those
wages. There are three ways Ct getting
money: Work for It. steal it and have
some person give it to you. Prof. Howe
never stole a dime In his life. He never
did days work. Now, how did he get
his millions?
Professor Howe said he approved and
stood back Of every thing the present
mayor had done. The present mayor,
this boy Jewett, has spent S26,000000 dur
ing the four years he has held office 1
spent S10,O000O0 during the time l was
mayor, and I had the panic when we had
soup lines tor the hungry people Of our
city, who were unable to obtain employ
ment: we had the food and we had the
street car strike during that time, and
still l spent $4,000, 900 less of the peoples
money than has Chuck Hole Charley.
II have given the mayor a new name
the Hog Merchant He keeps his hogs
cleaner than he does the streets OF
indianapolis.
What about the $1G,OO0,OO0? 1 will
tell you the mayor has ISL pleasure cars
in a garage down there near the city
hall. These cars are used by city EN-
ployes to take their girls out riding I
have often seen automobiles marked city
Of Indianapolis No. or No. 9 being
used IN the evening after working hours.
When I was mayor they yelled for
me 10 clean mp the town. l said / would
start in on the Columbia Club and the
University Club and they said that would
never do for 1t would ruin the Repub-
lican party organization They asked
me to wait until they could talk with
Dick Smith OF the Indianapolis News.
Then / was told that the News would
not yell any more to have the town
cleaned up II l would not start IN on
the Columbia and University Clubs"
He pointed out that while the labor
| condition here IS not serious as 1t Is in
Surope still there are men ont OF work
and these men could be given employ
ment patching the holes n the streets
This has not been done" declared
Mr.. Shank. There has not been hole
! patched. 1t is the duty OF the mayor to
