Mayor Leu Shank Launches
Verbal Barrage at Sen. NeW
indianapolis Mayor Laud Beverdge Leader and Scores
New as Rubber Stamp in Address Here-Entertains
Audience in Characteristic Fashion.

lew Shank. mayor Of Indiana
polls. told the people Of South BEND
who went to the High school audi
forum last night, why he sponsor
ed the candidacy of Hon. Albert ],
Beveridge in the race for United
States senatorship. The mayor was
in good form. His remarks were
characteristic Of the indianapolis
executive. who said ne himself over
rode determined opposition In In
dianapolis. just as Mr.. Beveridge
is doing. He lauded Beverage as
a leader and not follower. saying
he had achieved for himself a place
in American history as a statesman.
Some Of the characteristic re-
marks follow:
The same crowd that IS support
ig nNew today is composed Of that
bunch which stole the nomination
of Sen. James E. watson and If It
hadn't been that Watson filled in a
short term for senator. that crowd
would Zoe III the penitentiary today.
They even accuse Beveridge of
drinking. Now know that isn't
possible for as mayor OF Indiana
polls, a man can't find anything to
drink in that town.
Hire An AuctiOneer"
Il am a republican first and last
but 1 wouldn't have voted 10 seat
! Newberry. If you are going to sell
the congressional office. why not
hire a good auctioneer and auction
Of the seat TO the highest bidder
give the money back 20 the people
and cut the high taxes.
I'm Indianapolis one ward gave
New $1,000 for campaign expenses.
If the New crowd spends 500. 600
, 70 capture a job that I'm six years
pays $4,000, you know blamed well
that the people are going 10 pay
the freight
1T looks like the New forces are
double crossing somebody. In print
ed advertisements they say New vot-
ed for all temperance measures, yet
in every county Of the state they
have their heutenants out telling
the wet folks that New is wet and
II they want to see liquor restored,
to vote for New. Yes sir. somebody
is being double crossed.
You know they even charge Bev-
I eridge with being pro-German. Say
he never made any Liberty Loan
/ speeches. People living in Indiana
polls know better. Beveridge made
the first Liberty loan speech, bought
bonds until it hurt.
If I had been in the United
States senate as New has. wouldn't
send a bunch of paid hirelings
around 70 get votes for me. I would
stand on my record I stood on
my record as mayor or Indiana
epolis. 1 may have been a darned
poor one, but ran on 1t just the
same.
why not get a real man in the
| senate instead Of a rubber stamp.
only wish I were making speeches
for Beveridge as a candidate for
president.
They even scott at Beveridge be
cause he is a Bible student. I'll
| just tell you this much that If In
dianapolis had more Bibles and few
! er ibootleggers. Indianapolis would
\ be a damned sight better off.
People Pay the Freight"
I ANY time man bargains for an
! office by paying more. than It re-
/ turns for him. you can rest assure
that tho people are paying the
freight
Charlie BoOkwater Is coming up
/ here Friday night TO tell you why
! ne stands for New I have a good
| bunch. It's this: Charlie was Civ
/ en- a government printing contract
for about $4,000 and that's why he
! is for New. I know Chirlie we'll
He Is on my park board. Doesn' Z
| get any money but he's a member
/ of II just the same.
"Beveridge stands for the things
/ the people stand for. He is a thinker
! and a statesman. If I had more
| from the shoulders up, I'd be run
ming for a senator myself. AS it is
I think Beveridge is just about the
! right man for the place.
People are getting tired Of hav-
