union, declared that Mr.. Shank is the foe

ferred against thirty-three policemen who
refused to ride cars. In numerous north
side speeches Democratic speakers have
attacked Mr.. Shank on the opposite
ground that he sided with the union men
in the car strike.
1.-THE progress Of the labor movement
Is due to its strikes and not 70 it's con-
servat1sms," declared Mr.. Hawley. 'In
the near future by reason Of the present

who employ you what confidence can you
have In Lew Shank. he laid down on the
teamsters."

L. Ert Slack, former United States dis
trict attorney and at present the special
prosecutor in charge Of the Governments
prosecution of union coal miners and OPP
orators for violation Of the Lever act
through strikes during the war period,
followed Mr.. Hawley.
I'm still connected with the Govern

said Mr.. Slack.
SLACK RAPs JEWETT
ADMINISTRATION.
Mr.. Slack was among those who raped
he Jewett administration.
I'VE all know that indianapolis is not
we'll governed now" he said II am not
speaking politically. 1 am just telling
what everybody knows. We're Just
very badly misgoverned city"
He said he doesn't care how much Lew
Shank "cusses the News" and then
praised the News.
ooh. yes, and I'm not forgetting the
other papers. 1t doesn't make any diff
ference to me what the Daily Times says.
don't know who 1t Is for and l don't
think that it knows itself yet. 1t also
doesn't matter 10 me what the morning
paper is for"
Mr.. Slack pointed to his record in the
State Legislature, where he said he was
listed In a labor publication as "a friend
Of all the labor bills" He said he got
protection from the Central Labor Union

city during the teamsters strike be-
cause the police would not promise him
protection.
1T is far better that we should live
under Democratic rule than under con-
1ltions during the latter part OF the
Shank administration and the whole Of
the Jewett administration"
NOMINATED TO
DEFEAT MACHINE.
Xhe speakers kept pecking away at the
Jewett administra ton Thomas E. Gar
vim, nominee for city judge, came in and
said:
shank was nominated not because
the people were so strong for him. as
because people were so opposed to Tom
Howe and because the people were op-
posed to tn political machine that was
back Of him. The way they could defeat
that machine was to vote for Shank, he
said.
shank has made a deal, the terms Of
which are as follows: In return for the
support that a certain crowd viii give
him at the polls this fall be will support
Charles W. Jewett for Congress next
year II you supported Shank in oppo-
sition to that Jewett machine he has
sold you out"
And then from James z. Deery:
"You ean't disconnect shank from the
Jewett administration. The day after
election you'u find the same old crowd
banded together again to defeat the
Democrats in the county elections next
year"
Mrs. Mauds Swift Anthony and Thomas
Z. Colbert, coLncilmanic nominees, and
Mrs. Martha Yoh Marson, nominee for
city clerk, spoke briefly.
