RUMORS AFLOAT
PRESAGE SOME
WING CLIPPING
Tutewiler and Shank Will
Face Opposition for
County Jobs.

Rumors of q movement to clip the pO-
litical wings Of County Commissioners
Carlin Shank and Harry Tutewiler that Is
growing within the organization of Mayor
Samuel Lewis Shank, Carlin Shank s
brother, were current today following the
spreading among Shank people Of a re-
port that Edward Unversaw, Fifth ward
leader and Cash Hogle, Ninth ward
power, were to become candidates for the
Republican nomination for commissioner
in opposition to the present incumbents,
The rumor-spreaders have it that Hogle
is to oppose Shank and Unversaw is to
run against TutewiIer. Hogle has not
been identified with the Shank organi-
cation heretofore, having been an ardent
supporter of Thomas c. Howe against
Samuel Lewis Shank in the municipal
primary last year. Unversaw, however,
has been a Shank man for years. He
was offered the position of street com
missioner in the new city administration,
but refused.
Hogle was a candidate for the nomi-
nation for commissioner against Carlin
Shank In 1918. His defeat is laid by poll
icians to the fact that the old Jewett-
Roemler- Lemcke organization divided its
support, up to the last few days before
the primary, between H0gle and Jack
Douglas, present county assessor, and
Carlin Shank rode over both.

session when the Lewis forces adopted

sional delegation from Kansas.
A last minute attempt Of the Howat

not made until the convention had gone

Four Year Old
EnLiUenS Home
of Mayor Shank
GFGndnlOtheY'S Desire to Keep
Sister and Brother Together
Meets Approval.

a bright-eyed youngster of 4 years
made things merry around the household
of Mayor Samuel Lewis Shank, 3547 East
Washington street, today. His name Is
Joe Younger. He has come there to live.
Here's how 1t happened:
Joe's grandmother is a member of the
Shank housekeeping staff. Last fall
Joe's father, a World War veteran, en-
tered the Government psychopathlc hos
pttal at Marion. His mother went to
Lafayette and got work. Joe went to
the Grant County orphans home. His
sister, Vivian, s. came to live at the Shank
home.
A few days ago the grandmother re-
ceived word from Ovid Conner, Grant
County probation officer, that It was his
intention to place Joe in q home. The
grandmother worried for fear that the
sister and brother would be separated
permanently.
Yesterday the mayor went to Marion to
speak before the Kiwanis Club. He took
the grandmother along. When they
came back last evening Joe came along
for good.
The mayor described Joe as "a bright
little devil" and "a four-y ear-old conner"

L(DGE FACES
BIG FIGHT FOR
REELECTION
His War on Former
President Makes Is
sue National.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge faces the battle
of his career in his campaign for re.
election.
The fight against Senator Lodge is
becoming a national issue rather
than one confined to his State
Massachusetts.
Democratic national leaders are
trying to get together on plan to
give Senator Lodge a dose Of the
political downfall medicine" he was
instrumental in administering to
former President Wilson.
At present Senator Lodge has an ad-
vantage through n division in Democratic
ranks as to how the attack of revenge
shall be launched against him.
cox FAVoRS ATTACK
ON LEAGUE ISSUES.
James NJ. Cox, Democratic presidential
nominee last campaign, who bitterly as
sailed Lodge as the arch -conspiratOr
Of the ages" favors- attacking the Msssa-
chusetts Senator because of his work in
plans to make personal invasion OF the
State.
Senator Walsh, Democratic Senator
from Massachusetts, who is in close
touch with the political situation there,
has let 1t be known he believes Cox would
not take any votes from Lodge by talk
ing the league in the State.
Senator Lodges position in his State
probably would be strengthened should
he obtain prompt ratification of the
arms conference treaties In the Senate,
observers believe. Should any Of the
treaties fail, Lodge could be charged
with falling to provide substitute for
the Wilson league.
LODGE FAILS TO GET
NAVY YARD MEN WORK.
With unexpected rapidity a new issue
has sprung up jim the Lodge campaign
the refusal of the Administration to
allow reconditioning of the Leviathan in
the Boston Navy Yard where many men
are out of work. The workers looked to
Lodge, one of the most powerful figures
IN the Administration, to get them the con-
tract. He failed and ON top of this more
workers at the yard probably will be
laid Off because Of the arms conference
treaties.
Senator Lodge, it is said, is confident
he can win this fall. Some of his closest
friends claim he is overconhdent.
At present the situation has not de-
veloped to the point where it is possible
to predict who will be his Democratic
opponent, although former Representa-
tive Fitzgerald, former mayor of Boston,
is said to be in the lead. He gave
Senator Lodge a good race when he last
ran for reelection. Other possible eandi-
dates are Mayor Curley of Boston, John
F. Morse, prominent business man, and
Sherman w. Whipple, one of the leading
lawyers of the State.

"a complete rout" was John l..

the Alex Howat faction in the miners
convention today.

vote on the credentials report that 1t
will support the administration and
Its policies" Lewis said. "Hownt
and his men suffered "a singing de-
feat 1t was more than defeat 1t
was complete rout. 1t was more
than they had looked for. Howat
will be beaten on roll call tomorrow.
The convention will vote him and the
cause he claims to represent off the
floor and out of the deliberations. The
seating Of sixty or seventy bona hde
Kansas delegates has taken the last
straw from his grasp. From now on
every administration policy will be
supported by an overwhelming vote.
There Is nothing HOwat can do but
