GOES ON SOME
SHANK STATES
Senator Shares Place
With Beveridge on
Tickets.
WAS HEADLINER
Sacrifices Candidate to
Secure Election of
Precinctmen.
VAS HEADLINER

Names of both Harry S. New and Albert
J. Beveridge as c. adidates endorsed for
the Republican nomination for United
States Senator will appear on the slate
which the Shank Republican faction Will
work for in Tuesdays primary election,
it was learned from d reliable source to-
day. For weeks the Shank organization
has ostensibly been solidIy lined up be-
hind Beveridge. Mayor Shank has been
the headliner on the Beveridge speaking
list.
1t was likewise learned from a source
close to headquarters that the anti
Shank forces, consisting of the combined
Coffin DOdson and Jewett -Lemcke or
ganizations, will slate Shank candidates
in strong Shank districts and ti-Shank
aspirants in districts thought to be op-
posed to the mayor. They will do this,
it was said. in order to elect precinct
committeeman who will vote against the
Shank candidates for county and district
chairmen.
The Shank faction will sacrifice Beve-
ridge by stating both him and New in
order TO put across its candidates for
precinct committeeman, it is under
stood. Whether printed tickets with
only Beveridges name will be used in
one district and those with only News
name in another cor both names will be
on the one slip is not known.
II is understood the Jewett- Lemcke
faction is having the anti-Shank tickets
printed in Chicago Whether they have
been shipped to the city is not known,
as they have not been generally dis
tributed.
SOME POINTS

The Shank and anti-Shank states are
alike in some particulars. Both are un-
derstood to include Merrill Moores for
Congressman from the Seventh District;
James NJ Leathers and William ".

Room /; James 4. Collins for judge of
Criminal Court; Sidney s. Miller for
judge of Superior Court Room 3; George
Snider for sheriff: Carlin II. Shank for

Linn d. Hay for judge of Superior Court,
Room 2. Agreement also is indicated

STATING PIERCE
Is SIGNIFICANT.
Stating of Benjamin s. Peirce by the
Shank faction was regarded significant,
The Jewett- Lemke slate indorses John W.
Castor for this Office Until a week ago
Castor was the Shank choice and Peirce
the anti Shank man. Carlin II. Shank,
brother of the mayor, and slated for COM
missioner by both factions, is strong
supporter Of Peirce. The Coffin -Dodson
and JeWettIemcke groups decided tn
take Castor instead Of Peirce, it Is said.
This caused strained relations between
Carlin A Shank and his good friend
George V. Coffin. Carlin became more
friendly to his brother and William IT.
Armitage, the mayors political captain.
Result, apparently-Peirce slated by
Shank and Castor by anti-Shank crowds.
