a speech at the North Indianapolis Com
nunity House He called on the people
of indianapolis to study the issues in
the campaign and then vote for the man
! whom they think best qualified to serve
them as their chief executive.
II want the people Of Indianapolis to
demand a strict accounting for rigid
economy and I want them to supervise
the expenditure OF their money" said Mr..
Howe
Mayor Jewett spent money like water
on the fire department" Mr.. Shank said
in an address at 901 North New Jersey
street. He strapped perfectly good ap-
paratus to buy new machines. Ask any
member of the fire department If that-is
not true. The underwriters require that
certain types Of apparatus be used and
properly manned. Jewett was not con-
tent with meeting the reasonable require
ments of the insurance companies. He
had to go further. l don't mean to
charge that there has been graft in all
these expenditures. but I would hate 10
have people specializing why that money
had been spent IL I were mayor.
by the way, in all the attacks upon me
that have been made by the Indianap polls
News and by individuals you never heard
any one question my honesty. 1t means
more to have an honest man In the may
or's office than many citizens realize"
Mr. Shank dwelt on what he termed the
hypocrisy of the Jewett and Howe cam
paign.
"Out In Trvington the professor is q
deacon. but over on the avenue he's a
regular fellow, with no prejudiecs against
any sort OF sinfulness," he said. There
is an engine house out in Irvington that
the professor drops into occasionally.
The fremen there are not allowed to play
cards because the deacon may catch
them at 1t.
But when the professor campaigns in
some parts of the atty he gives 1t out
that blue laws make his blood boil.
nd like the professor much better If
he were an out and out liberal or else
courageous church official"
"Our young friend, Chuckhole Charlie,
Is the same stripe Of politician He's a
minister's son and when occasion serves
he makes the most Of that, but on the
other hand he allows favored negroes
to run crap games unmolested by the
police and he goes to Louisville ana
Chicago TO violate the prohibition laws"
