JANITORS’ BOLT TO SHANK HARD JEWETT BLOW Effort to Popularize Mr. Thomas C. Howe Spurred by Late Showing. BREAK IN NEGRO FORCES The bolt of many of the Janitors and other courthouse attaches appointed by the Marlon County commissioners to support of Samuel Lewis Shank for the Republican nomination for mayor Is one of the causes for the Jewett-city hall crowd attempting to popularize Mr. Thomas Carr Howe, former president of Butler College, and the city administration's candidate for mayor. As nearly all of the Janltora at the courthouse are negroes, this sudden drift■pg away from the Jewett-city hall banBsr of men depending on their positions M hands of the county commissioners that the Jewett faction is slipping In its control of the negro Tote. Efforts are being made by Jewett leaders to popularize Mr Howe with the negro political ward workers. In the meantime there is a Tlsible break in the negro forces with the Shank candidacy rapidly taking on more momentum. BREAK BECOMES NOTICEABLE. Following the appointment* of township assessors by Township Assessor Michael Jefferson, the break has become more noticeable. Nearly* all of the deputy asssessor appointments are considered as from Jewett administration workers, as James C. Douglass, county assessor, approves of the appointments. Douglass admits he la for Mr. Howe. Some of the negro employes of the courthouse loudly proclaim their Intentions to support and work for Lew Shank. With negro party leaders employed at the courthouse supporting a candidate, mention of whose name causes the Jewett faction to use plain langn.ige, seems to indicate that the negro Shank supporters at the courthouse have nothing to fear In supporting Shank. The controlling factors In the employing of the court-house janitors are the members of the board of county commissioners, consisting of Carlin Shank, Lewis George and Harry Tutewiler. The other Important factor Is Benjamin S. Pierce, custodian, and a supporter of Commissioner Carlin Shank. It is pointed out that if the negro employes at the courthouse feared being ousted from the county pay roll they would not shout so loudly for Mr. Shank. Lew Shank has visited the courthouse several times lately and his appearance is always a signal for a loud demonstration on part of some of the negro employes. In the meantime the Jewett city hall faction is attempting to hold the negro vote by predicting that the city hall candidate will be nominated as “sorely'’ as the county Republican ticket went through last fall. Even this talk has not prevented many of the negro courtIfepuse employes from openly carrying the ■Shank banner. * BOBBED HAIR NOW STYLE.

At the recent exhibition of the National Portrait Society at least seven out of every ten portraits portrayed models with “bobbed’’ hair.
