Professor Howe did not come into this
contest Of his own accord. but was
e drafted by interests who believe they
could make good use of q friend In the
mayors office" said Mr.. Shank. Mr.
Howe's interests are IN KokomO and 1
am informed he preferred to 20 to that
city and attend to them.

"terested in utilities stock is close
friend Of Professor Howe HIS father was

law in hOkOmo J. Dorsey Forrest. presi-
dent Of the Citizens Gas Company. is
a member OF the board Of trustees OF
Butler College and was closely associated
with Professor Howe when Professor
!. Howe was president OF Butler. Represen-
tattves Of other utility corporations are
. actively supporting AIr. Howe
THE things I have mentioned may
seem trivial in themselves but considered
.itogether it seems to me they show 4
pretty good reason why voters Of In
dianapOHs should not take the professor
. at the value placed on him by his
sponsors.
4 have often noticed that men who
. suddenly acquire wealth through no
effort OF their own are even less
" responsive TO the rights OF the people
/. than born mlllionaires.7
e~ROBIsON SEEKS
QUICK WEALTH"
Mr.. Shank devoted some time to
discussion Of Ed J. RObison's candidacy.
Ed has always been bent on getting
!. rich quick" he said. Some one is spend
Ing lots Of money TO help him in this
race-mOre than the office pays jim
Goodrich and Jet Norman are his bust

with the support Of four negro politicians
land gamblers and little else. That ought

1 have lived all my life IN Indianapo-
lis, as my father did before me. No
man has ever questioned my integrity.
l believe that the fact has been estab-
e Hshed through my record as mayor that
. I an always responsive to the wishes Of
Hthe people and TO their needs. l know
4 the tax burden Of the people is unrea-
fsonably, unjustly heavy and l am pledged
" to reduce it."
o. The candidate called attention to the
3fact that newspaper speculation these
days chiefly concerns the question as to
whether Ed Robson can beat Professor
Z. Howe and the city Organization for sec
ond place
Barring a great catastrophe I viii be
so far ahead at the end Of this week thar
neither Robson or Howe viii be able to
see which way 7 went" Mr. Shank said.
He urged sustained efforts on the part
OF organization workers in order that
p A. -H.aA- \.
corrupt politicians will never again dare
to tamper with the will Of the people
nor insult their intelligence with such
thin bunk"
Sacredness Of the ballot box was en-
phasized by Mr. Robson in his meet
ling last night at I'D North West street
b Attempts to tamPer with the votes
e cast in the coming primary are chaI-
lenges against our citizenship and they
must not be permitted" Mr.. Robson
said.
The speaker referred to the recent re-
2 lease Of Tom NJ. Greenlee. assistant clerk
in the city engineers office. because he
refused to stand "hitched' with the city
hall organization. as an example Of the
methods being used by the organization
to keep a battle front.
1 "Such conditions Of coercion should not
be tolerated and it is for you voters to
decide whether or not organizations
which coerce shall remain in power" Mr..
Robson said.
Mr RObisOn's plea for a clean primary
nresulted in a hearty response. many vol
unteerins 70 assist him in keeping the
l-primary voting free from intimidation
or fraud. Speakers addressing the meet
+. ing before the arrival Of Mr.. Robson
pointed 10 his successful administration
Of the Office Of county treasurer several
years ago as an example of his ability
and policy for clean and efficient man
agement while in office
