Leu Shank 7hrows Wrench
Into Operations of Politics
The "back capitol"

making it a threecornered fight, and
as a reward to Robinson he is seeking
to secure the Indianapolis postmaster
ship for him. Shank's activities in
behalf of Robinson is also seen as a
harmoniZing move and a bid for the
support of Shank's candidacy by the
Bookwalter element of the Repub-
lican party, which largely supported
Robinson in the primary campaign.
Shank's endorsement of Jack Hen
ley for appointment as collector of
customs is also regarded as an &C
Acknowledgement Of the active support
Henley is said to have given Shank
during the recent primary campaign.
For some time Henley has not been
in the good graces of many of the In
diana Republican leaders. and his re-
cent alliance with Shank has not i'm
proved his standing with them, it is
understood.
Senator New will next year be a
candidate for denomination. Many of
his friends resent Shank's efforts to
force the appointment of Henley. see
ing in it a threat TO use the Shank
political machine against the senator
| in the event the appointment does not
| go to Henley.

PALLADIUM NEWS BUREAU

WASHINGTON, May 12.- Lew
Shank, fresh from his victory in the
Indianapolis Republican mayoralty
primary contest and wearing his laur-
els tilted at rakish angle, has just
returned to the Indiana capital after
a brief visit in Washington.
While here Shank indicated quite
plainly that he again considers him
self a power to be reckoned with in
Republican politics in Indianapolis.
He did not hesitate TO ask for the
appointment of Jack Henley, former
secretary of the Indiana Republican
state committee, as collector OF Gus
toms for Indiana, and for the appoint
ment Of Ed. Robinson, one of the three
entries in the mayoralty contest
which Shank recently won so handily,
as postmaster of Indianapolis. 1t is
admitted that Shank occupies strate-
his comeback"
The appointment of the collector OF
customs for Indiana is included in the
patronage of Senator Harry S. New
and it has been generally understood
appointment What situation will re-
suit from Shank's insistence that the
position be given to Jack Henley is
! not apparent as yet
Bryson Mentioned
Bob Bryson has been frequently
mentioned as the probable selection
| for the postmastership of Indianapo
| lis. one of the most desirable federal
offices in Indiana. Shank's announce
ment that he has indorsed Ed. Robin
| son for the position may complicate
matters.
Under ordinary circumstances. the
; Indianapolis postmastership would be
! the patronage of Merrill Moores, who
represents the Indianapolis district in
congress. President Harding. how
ever, has announced his policy fol
! the appointment of postmasters
which provides that all candidates fol
| postmastership will be required tc
qualify for appointment under civil
service regulations, the selection tc
! be made from the three candidates
receiving the highest grades.
Ed Robinson finished third in the
recent Republican mayorality contest
in Indianapolis, but he polled approx
mately 10000 votes. Had he dropped
out of the contest as he was earnestly
urged to do by many of the anti-Shank
leaders it is probable the bulk of his
vote would have gone against Shank
which would have resulted in the nom
! ination of Thomas Howe, former pres
| ident of Butler college.
Under Obligations
1t is generally understood that
Shank feels under obligations to Rob
inson for remaining in the contest

Good Features City Manager
Form Pointed Out by Chaffee

Adoption of a city manager form of
government to guarantee the carrying
on of the city government with the
least waste and in the most efficient
manner, was urged by Frank P. Chat
fee, secretarymanager of the Chamber
of Commerce, in an address at the
eighth ward meeting Wednesday night.
The city manager form of govern
ment gives the most simple and direct
form of doing city business that has
yet been evolved, Mr.. Chaffee stated.
Politics is eliminated, ward and pre-
cinct chairman will not have finger
in the pie and the tax payers will get
the most for the least cost, he
stated.
The meeting in the eighth ward
Wednesday night was the first public
meeting held in the city and is the
forerunner of similar meetings to be
held in all the wards of the city by
the advocates of the city manager
form of government.
Bailey Presides.
! Jesse Bailey. city chairman, presided
at the meeting and stated in his open-
ing remarks that the campaign was in
it's infancy, but that he planned to
have a campaign which would point
out the good features of a city man
ager form of government and show
how it would benefit Richmond
He urged that people of the city look
at the question in its simplest manner
! and not make it intricate and hard. He
pointed out the school city as an
example of managership in govern
rlent. stating that the similarity was
very close between a city manager and
! a school superintendent. Politics
eliminated, board members served
without appreciable remuneration, he
declared.
Points Cut Features.
| Mr. Chaffee in his address pointed
out the following features:
That the object of an educationa
campaign such as was being carried
on was to enable the people to under
stand more clearly the city manager
question and to vote intelligently fol
a change at the election June IA.
That conflicts between council
mayor and board of works were no
characteristic in Richmond at thi;
particular time, but were genera
wherever the aldermanic system was
in practice The restlessneSS of the
people evolved the commission plar
of government, which was tried ou
and proved some better than the ole
system. Then the city manager plar
was inaugurated. which has seemingly
been the long sought for remedy. Mr.
Chaffee stated that he had yet to fine
4 city that has gone back to the ole
form.
Makes Comparison.
A comparison was then made be
tween a corporation and city. The
tax payers being the stockholders, the
commissioners the board of directors
and the city manager the superinten
dent of the plan. The return to thu
people will be made through lowe
taxes and more efficiency according tt
the speaker.
In answering the question which h,

said had been asked him a number of
timcs-"If We get an inefficient mana
ger can we get rid of him."
Read the law. This point is clear.
The manager can be discharged. He
can demand public hearing, but if
the commissioners continue in their
belief in his inefficiency he can be dis.
charged"
Says Plan Success.
Mr.. Chaffee then stated that where
ever the plan had been tried it had
spread. From Dayton it was taken
up by Xenia, Springfield and Is other
cities in Ohio. IF it had not been a
success in Dayton it would not have
been taken up by these other cities.
None have showed an inclination to
return to the old system he said.
people who are opposed to the
plan either do not understand the law
or have some ulterior motive. l be-
lieve that many are honestly and
intellectually opposed to the plan.
but if they would study the plan and
put all motives aside, they would
agree that it is the best thing for
Richmond"
He concluded his address by stat.
ing that he would urge on the people
that the city manager plan be given
chance. That it could not be any
worse than the present system, and
that the people of the city had every
thing to gain and nothing to lose by
trying the experiment.
