Two facts stand out in the political sit

send solid Coolidge delegation to

of what other aspirants enter the

standard bearer, but have the open
mind attitude, being ready to support
the candidacy of anybody who ap-

last week is the fact that Judge

But in spite of this organization.
democrats here. who are all for Gov.
Cox, ask seriously how the McAdoo
organization came to select an Ohio
man, and one not generally known
outside this state and without ex-
perience.
Rockwell has been very active in
democratic state politics for twenty
years. though he is yet comparatively
young He has always co-operated
with the organization element of the
party.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, october 27.-
Hoosier politics took a new turn
this week when 1t became definitely
known that Mayor Samuel Lewis
Shank. the stormy petrol of Indianap-
oils political organization affairs,
would become candidate for the
republican nomination for governor.
Mayor Shank's entrance into the race
practically assures a strafght-out
fight revolving around the ku Klux
Klan. with the mayor having the
support of the anti-Klan forces and
Ed Jackson, secretary of state, car
rying the banner for the Knights of
the Invisible Empire.
Although Jackson's boom was given
a severe setback by James 2. Good
rich, former governor, who asserted
that jackson had encouraged the op-
erations of the DollingS Company in
Indiana, which failed, causing thou
sands to lose their life time savings.
1T is generally believed now that he

oidate.
Shank will not run on an anti
Kan platform, but his activities in
combating the organization in In
utanapolis will make him the logical
rallying point for those who are OPP
posed to the hooded knights.
Mayor Shank is study in COM
plexes. Once forced TO resign as
mayor of indianapolis because of his
inability to handle serious street
car strike, reviled by politicians of
all factions. the laughing stock at
one time of thoughtful people, he
has arisen to the point now where
a good many republicans see in him
their only salvation if they retain
Indiana in the republican column

headed by Senator James F. Watson
