HOWE
CLUB TRIES TO
ARRAY CLASSES
Shank Says He Is Man Re-
ferred to as Undesirable
Leader.
JEWETT CLIQUE SCORED

Charging that the organization Of
the Mayor Club at the
Columbia Club represented a direct
attempt to array class against class.
Samuel Lewis Shank, candidate for
mayor, pointed out that nearly all the
charter members Of the club were
residents of the Second and Third
Wards, in a speech at 2504 North
western avenue last night
Mayor Jewett has issued a warning
that an undesirable man with an unde-
sirable gang behind him may be elected
mayor" the ex-mayor said. 81 am that
undesirable man and the common people
Of Indianapolis-an those outside the
Jewett clique-is the undesirable gang"
Mr. Shank dwelt on the extravagancs
OF the Jewett administration, which he
said is trying to nominate Professor Howe.
He compared the S10,000000 in round
figures, which he said had been spent un-
der his administration with the $685.
100000, spent by the Jewett administra-
tion in four years.
CONDEMNS FAVORs OF
POLICE MORALS SQUAD.
Discrimination in favor Of rich men by
the police morals squad was condemned
by the speaker.
THE police searched the home Of
poor man over in West Indianapolis the
other night and found a half pint of
white mule" he said. They took him
down to jail and held him two days and
then the judge turned him loose because
he thought his arrest had been unjusti-
nj -,-fF - o14F
dren and his arrest cost him his job.
why doesn't the morals squad look
after some rich man occasionally? They
could find barrels Of whisky if they did.
l don't believe the sewers would hold
all the whisky that is stored in cellars
of the rich in this city.
If l am elected mayor the police are
not going to enter any mans home with
out a properly issued search warrant,
and the man who signs the warrant Will
be held responsible for the search. A
mans home is all he has, be he rich or
poor, and his rights in it should be re-
spected. I believe in enforcing the law
and l am going to enforce it if elected,
but it will be done fairly.
SHANK CENsUREs
ADMINISTRATION.
The present administration was at
tackled by Mr.. Shank for its failure to
provide work for the unemployed when
streets were in need of cleaning and re-
pair.
Other speakers recalled what Shank
had done for the poor by bringing in
produce and selling it at cost when the
cost Of living was proving an unbearable
burden
About $50 persons were crowded in
the barber shop in which the Shank
meeting was held. A number Of women
spoke in Mr.. Shank's behalf
Announcement that he is a candidate
for the Republican nor.ination for city
judge was made by Harry E. Yockey, as
sistant city attorney. Mr.. YOckey served
as city court prosecutor under Prosecut-
ing Attorney Alvah Rucker. For a short
time he was grand jury deputy under Mr..
Rucker. He was city attorney while

HOWE AND Robson
ON SAME PLATFORM.
Mr. Howe and Mr. Robson spoke from
the same platform at a meeting at Elev
enth and fremont streets last night.
Robson workers, who were in control
of the meeting, engineered it so that Mr..
Howe had to speak first, giving succeed
ing speakers an excellent opportunity to
tear his remarks to pieces and put him
on the defensive. Frequent references Of
the Robson men to Mr.. Howe as Pro
fessor' Howe led the candidate to re-
quest again that they refrain from speak
ing of him in this way insisting that he
has not been a professor since he lett
Butler College, it is said.
Mr Robson will speak at a First
Ward meeting at the st. John A. NJ E.
